Acuitas plays my textual version of Logical Journey of the Zoombinis: Allergic Cliffs! The demo is out! This puzzle showcases induction of cause-and-effect rules. https://t.co/ui3MESLmOi #ArtificialIntelligence #NLP

@adamemedia1 @McJuggerNuggets It's not so much that anyone needs to be punished, as that fetal people and disabled people need to be defended. Any attempt to justify violence against them is seriously Not Okay.
Pre-natal rights are human rights. Abortion is oppression.

@adamemedia1 @McJuggerNuggets Maybe I can't say for sure what I'd do if it happened to me. But I can say confidently that if what I did involved killing a fellow human of any age, that would be me succumbing to moral weakness. And if I tried to rationalize it on the internet, I ought to get piled on.

@AKHomeproject @McJuggerNuggets Thinking it's ever okay to kill someone without their consent is the "luxury belief." You're not them. You have no idea how much they might've loved and clung to the life their parents tyrannically took away.

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

@_Stocko_ I recall it having mission(s) originally - it was sold as a usable currency with various unique benefits. That all got overshadowed by people turning it into a speculative investment.

@theblackvault So the administration is hijacking the UFO topic to shill unrelated agendas. Pathetic.

Lots of miscellaneous improvements this month - I went back to *actually finish* new Acuitas features I started earlier this year! https://t.co/xWydjCDI8b

@WawawWwawa75813 @LisaBritton Yeah, I suppose it would be interesting to split the singles category into "single by choice" and "single but searching" and see how that affects the outcome.

@ctrlssh @_Stocko_ I could see this reducing overall weight and power, and maybe making the bot more stable by concentrating mass nearer the center.

@only_hodhod @US_Stormwatch @jack There are lots of plant-based options besides almond milk. I think soy and oat are both pretty environmentally friendly.

@caseymurph1 @US_Stormwatch Beef guzzles water also, and I'd rather have the almonds.

Weird to be in the middle of a long holiday weekend and almost not want it. I want to go back to work.

@veronicaschwzr The way she ties her self-worth to her parental performance seems to limit accountability, real responsiveness to my needs, real consideration of my perspective. So, I think I get what you're saying here.

[WriterOfMinds (she) 🌻 @WriterOfMinds]

@veronicaschwzr My mom seems to think of raising me as her life purpose and greatest accomplishment. That *sounds* nice, until you see how defensive it makes her about any suggestion she could've done some things better as a parent.

Eyeball #2 is done enough to be functional and has much better motion tracking!! https://t.co/Rq8VdT5M7G #robotics

Haha (the circle is a motion detection target).

@veronicaschwzr A fledgling would be mostly feathered, right? This baby is still all fuzz.

If a baby has fallen, it is okay to put them back in their nest/cavity.

If the parents don't show up, he needs to reach out to a wildlife rehabber.

@shekkizh @tdietterich @arxiv This rule is clearly about the quality of the content, not restricting or flagging AI per se. So it makes sense for the ban to be based on obvious signs of poor quality.

@ZbynekDrab @justalexoki Lineages, like all collectives, only have value insofar as they contribute to the flourishing of individuals. They are not sentient beings capable of experiencing joy or suffering. So they deserve nothing.
