It seems to be human nature to group together like that. It makes sense from a game theory perspective, too. Perhaps political parties are inevitable

Last year suffered a severe shoulder dislocation that lasted ~2.5hrs, while in the middle of nowhere. It was unimaginably painful and I struggled to believe it would ever be over. The ambulance took so long to arrive.
But the real fear came in the following days, weeks, months. Knowing that it could happen again at any moment without warning, even from the simplest movement with no strain at all. When the severe one happened I wasn't doing anything unusual, I just reached out to pick something up and pop. My damaged muscles were in such a state that it could pop out with no real cause.
Nowadays I'm doing much better. I've had a surgery to fix it, with 90% success rate. But that 10% risk still keeps me up at nightbsometimes.
Everything is political. The only software that is "not political" is that which aligns with your personal views.
Women are less likely on average to push for payrises aggressively. This is a common phenomenon. Just because there is a mechanism at work though, that doesn't assauge their responsibility to ensure that their workforce is fairly and equally compensated.
One good way to tackle this is transparent salaries. Publish, internally in the company, exactly what salaries everyone is on. This empowers workers to negotiate on much fairer grounds.
Experiments in rats have found that once plastic is introduced to their environment, their ability to reproduce declines drdmstically. Genitalia are smaller, slerm rates lower. And the effect compounds and grows generation after generation, getting worse and worse so long as plastic is consumed.
Studies have also shown that human fertility (regarding actual physical ability to reproduce, not the choice of whether to do so) has dropped dramatically genetation on generation since the rise of plastics
And in that situation, the safest bet is to say no. See: the invisible dragon https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Dragon_in_My_Garage
improving and integrating the technology is raising harder and more complex questions than first envisioned
Many people not only envisioned but predicted these problems as soon as the hype cycle began.
Interesting article. I'd have loved to see some stats on how LLM investment and LLM startups are doing.
I miss Tarja, but that is an incredible performance. Most bands sound kinda bad live, it is much more difficult to sing live vs in a studio and far fewer elements are in your control. Yet, despite Nightwish's vocals being so challenging she hits every note while singing live and headbanging surrounded by constant pyro. So much hard work must have gone into preparing for this set, what a pro.
Why can I not find that post on beehaw? Some ActivityPub weirdness?

Holy shit, I'm so sorry to hear that. I've been going through a physical rehab of my own the past year and it is so awful. Recovering from such a major surgery as that must be horrible, I can't imagine.
