Text that seems a bit more significant imo, alongside the fears of AIs turning into Ouroboruses.


My hunch from having a similar disease that caused brain fog, and having read some of the literature as a layman, is that tiny capillaries are clotting in the brain. Or the lungs. Or wherever your viral load was heaviest maybe? It seems to last up to a year, meaning worsening or new symptoms could manifest. I would hope the plasticity of your brain minimizes that.

That symptom, from a different disease, only caused a serious problem after persisting for over a decade. Count on it going away, if you work, and rest, your brain. - Crosses fingers


Ken Paxton can't be taken seriously, nor can allegations he makes sadly. It doesn't make financial sense to sell the data itself and undermine their ad business; I wonder what that suit and settlement were about.


Where the Tool Command Language really shines is this, commanding tools. TCL is criminally underrated for that use case.


MacPorts is a noteworthy project that seems to use Tcl in its sweet spot.


An unrelated point on that note -

The Russian army is trying to restrict phones amongst their troops right now, from what I can tell. The soldiers who need telegram the most to handle their own logistics and strategy, because that is horrificly a thing, need telegram.



As the sibling commented, here is another sad example.

> Edwards was “rolled by hospital security guards into the freezing cold wearing only paper scrubs, placed under physical arrest, and forcibly removed by police officers from the hospital property,” according to the lawsuit, which says it was 29 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 1.7 Celsius) at the time.


This quote is not complete and materially changes the context.

This women was transferred directly to the police where she was being put in a squad car. She was not "tossed to the curb".

It's a shitty situation, but it seems plausible that she was medically clear but suffered a stroke during the incident. Security staff and police officers handled it extremely poorly, but this woman was not just left alone on the streets.


Like the family member of the parent post, she was discharged against her will into a public area in the freezing cold. The police involvement came after negligence by the hospital staff.

That she quickly died of complications is potentially different from the op, yes, but I don't see why you think it is materially different. Because the police were there? That parallels being discharged into a shady place in a strange downtown at 2am. They made him leave as well. Being alone wasn't what I was referring to, and it wasn't what happened to the op. She most definitely was, "kicked to the curb."

Here is the rest of the context in case it saves anyone a click through:

A video released by police showed officers struggle for about 25 minutes to move Edwards into a police van and finally a cruiser. Edwards repeatedly asks for help. But she is rebuffed by officers and hospital security guards who become frustrated with her inability to step up into the van and tell her she is faking her incapacity.

After she is placed in a police cruiser, video shows Edwards trying to pull herself upright repeatedly, but eventually she slumps over out of sight. Several minutes later, one of the officers performs a traffic stop on another vehicle while Edwards remains in the backseat.

When he opens the rear door, Edwards is unresponsive. He calls dispatch for an ambulance, telling them, “I don’t know if she’s faking it or what, but she’s not answering me.”

Edwards was pronounced dead at the Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center the following day.

“This was an emergency medical condition that began and worsened on hospital property and that was unequivocally preventable and treatable,” the lawsuit states.


> They actually wouldn't let my wife walk herself down - they had to call Transport, and she had to be wheeled down in a wheelchair with the baby's carseat on her lap, and I had to be waiting at the designated curbside to pick her up. She was perfectly capable of walking herself down, and we were both capable of putting the carseat into the car in a normal parking spot, but everything had to be done in the presence of an orderly.

I have tonic-clonic seizures; at least 4 hospitals have wheeled me out that way, suffering no argument otherwise. I guess it is common.


There are arguments in the industry that the paradigm has shifted to where dogfighting and the need for that maneuverability is a thing of the past? They are showing up on YouTube at least.


Nobody really knows what large scale combat between stealth fighters will look like, but that paradigm is completely valid for upgraded 4th gen planes.


In simulations the F35 usually wins against non-stealthy dog-fighters, but that's never been tested in a real-world situation.


I don't reader twitter, thanks for posting a heads up.
