Point was, not everyone with coffee in their cabinet needs to start panicking.

This article doesn’t cover it (specifically) so I went digging to see if this might compete with weight loss drugs as well:

Victoza (liraglutide) is also used to treat obesity. While it was originally approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, it has also been approved under the brand name Saxenda for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. Saxenda and Victoza contain the same active ingredient, liraglutide, but they are marketed and dosed differently depending on the indication.

Google said:

As of April 2024, the list price for a 30-day supply of Saxenda (liraglutide) is around $1,350, but the actual cost can range from $1,590 to $1,656 without insurance or discounts.

You’re right, the President should basically do nothing in the year before an election. Everything must be accomplished in the first three years, then we take a break.

Edit: (Assuming POTUS was even involved)

I think it’s because it helps them manipulate objects, just like fingers on a hand.

Excellent interpersonal skills

Oh well.

Yup, this all sounds on the up-and-up to me.

The better headline would have been:

Man survives being lost in California mountains for 10 days by drinking from his boot

Step 3. Ensure you don’t leave any evidence as you tie the body.

The original article contains 287 words, the summary contains 288 words.

Bad bot.

I don’t understand why we teach that to children, just to turn around and tell them not to do it a few years later.

Or because we are comparing rates now to those when COVID restrictions were in place?

I liked the movie. The activity itself is as boring as baseball.

$120K/yr in gifts seems perfectly reasonable. I just haven’t pulled on my bootstraps hard enough to find such nice friends.

Maybe next year!

I already provided the reasoning. Where does it say, “because they’re communist”?

(Let me know if you have a processing deficiency)

Really?

Cuba has long had good relations with Russia. It was a key ally to the former Soviet Union during the Cold War that briefly hosted nuclear missiles at Moscow’s behest during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Also…

Again on October 19, 1960, almost two years after the Cuban Revolution had led to the deposition of the Batista regime, the U.S. placed an embargo on exports to Cuba except for food and medicine after Cuba nationalized the US-owned Cuban oil refineries without compensation. On February 7, 1962, the embargo was extended to include almost all exports.

I would argue the original reasoning was very valid. Helps to know the history though, I guess.

Consider these terms vs words:

Site / look

An overlook / overlooked

An oversight / [provide] oversight

This is the plastic bag reference. LIDAR cannot determine mass. A lot of cars were jamming on the brakes several years ago every time a plastic bag floated in front of their field of view. The algorithms were then tweaked in an attempt to prevent a 20 car pileup because the car freaked out about 1 oz of air-filled plastic. Humans make assessments like this on the fly based on our knowledge of physics, an understanding of real-time conditions, and some level estimation. We may even choose to ignore road markings and normal driving rules if we deem the risk too great vs. the risk of causing a secondary incident (pileup, attention of police, etc). This is not to say meat sacks are exactly perfect in these types of analyses either… This is the tweaking the ML engineers are trying to perfect, for all possible scenarios. A difficult undertaking for humans and machines alike.

I see you have a bit of spitfire left over. Please sit in this cubicle over here and adult for just a little while longer.

The update corrects an error in the software that “assigned a low damage score” to the telephone pole

[…]

Waymo vehicle was driving to a passenger pickup location through an alley that was lined on both sides by wooden telephone poles. The poles were not up on a curb but level with the road and surrounded with longitudinal yellow striping to define the viable path for vehicles. As it was pulling over, the Waymo vehicle struck one of the poles at a speed of 8mph

It seems the vehicle treated the polls as road debris, etc. This is the plastic bag dilemma. Do you treat something you don’t recognize as a sacred object that must be avoided, or drive through it. This comes up a lot with machine learning based identification of objects - everything is given a percentage of assurance of its identity and nothing is ever 100% guaranteed. That’s a statistical property. Also, every item must have a closely related set of images to model that object in that situation. In this case, a bunch of telephone polls with yellow striping around them seem to have confused the car.
