There’s only one way to solve all diseases.

Did they test this on Mars first?

It’s the politicians who are striving for a classroom where not everyone is equal.

Although, teachers probably consider themselves more equal than their students.

Isn’t there also shorthand where you just write the base components and people understand what you mean because even though the radicals are missing, the core meaning of the glyph is still close enough?

The difference is that the shorthand isn’t based on phonetics but on the core meaning of the calligraphic strokes.

It’s why Japanese writers can communicate with Cantonese speakers through quick strokes on their palms. The radicals are all different but the base components are the same.

Similar to a German person stripping back words to core syllables.

Remember that the Afghan Taliban isn’t simple either.

Most major content producers have agreements with YouTube such that as their content is discovered, monetization all goes to the rights holders. In general, this seems like a pretty good idea, and better than copyright maximalism.

However, I’ve had original works of my own “monetized by rights holder” because they used my work (with permission) in one of their products, and so now have co-opted all expressions of my work on YouTube. So the system isn’t perfect.

Magnets that power these facilities are imperfect, and even tiny fluctuations in magnetism can cause resonance.

Thing is, it’s not even limited to the magnets. As the energies go up, things like global gravitational flux and even changes in mass near the accelerator will affect the particle’s path. If this happens over time in line with a resonant frequency, you can get the double bounce effect.

I wasn’t able to tell how much of this they’re currently accounting for with their model, or if they are only factoring in the known magnetic imperfections.

I was thinking more in line with the recent DOGE actions that resulted in people being incorrectly added to the legally dead database.

Is incorrectly labeling someone as legally dead considered a crime? Like, equivalent to manslaughter or murder depending on intent?

Instead we’re stuck listening to Vogon poetry.
