Can't help but think of this hiker-rescue story I saw earlier today

The USFS said the climbers told them they had used an artificial intelligence platform, YouTube videos and AllTrails to plan the trip. They said they relied on Al to decide what food to bring and how much food and water they would need.

The group said it packed supplies for an eight-hour climb, not its roughly 16-hour ascent. The climbers said Al recommended simple carbohydrates instead of fats because fats "take too long to digest."

"We relied too much on Al rather than our own critical thinking," the group told rangers.

understanding that this group of people is included within the tally of "unauthorized" immigrants was a bit of a blackpill moment for me www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Congress has rarely directly addressed the reality that millions of so-called “unauthorized” immigrants are, in fact, actively complying with the requirements of the U.S. government. When legislators attempted to pass immigration reform, during the second terms of both George W. Bush and Barack Obama, they did so on the same premise as in 1986: retroactive legalization for the people who were “living in the shadows,” in exchange for more enforcement to stop other people from coming in. Since 2014, with a single exception—passing a law during the first Trump Administration that legalized a few thousand Liberian immigrants—representatives have sat on their hands and let the executive branch take the flak.

What’s really sad is these students don’t know how to cheat. You’ve got to leave several intentionally incorrect. You can’t get greedy and shoot for a perfect score! What type of white collar criminals are the Ivy League schools pushing out nowadays!

Roberto Serrano was shocked when he saw the results of the midterm exam in his advanced mathematical economics class at Brown University last semester: The average score was 96, when in the past, it had ranged from the 6os to the 80s. Nearly half of the students this year got a perfect score of 100.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

I’m sure there will be no horrifying consequences as a result of the Trump regime authorizing the launch of ominously Tolkien-named satellites capable of illuminating 5 to 6 kilometer-wide swaths of the earth at night: www.wired.com/story/reflec...

Equipped with an 18-meter reflector, Eärendil-1 could illuminate areas 5 to 6 kilometers in diameter for brief periods (the mirror satellite's name is a reference to a character from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series).
The authorization allows the company to deploy the test satellite at an altitude of about 625 kilometers. Its primary objective is to evaluate the technical feasibility of its ultrathin, highly reflective, film-based reflector.
"We're grateful to the FCC for granting our application to fly our test mission," the company said on social media.
"This ruling is hugely validating for our company and reflects America's leadership in testing innovative space technology."
The US startup argues that this highly controversial technology could have a variety of civilian, commercial, and government applications. These include providing illumination for search-and-rescue operations, supporting critical infrastructure during emergencies, extending productive hours for solar energy facilities, and temporarily lighting remote construction sites

Eärendil-1 would be only the beginning. Reflect Orbital envisions operating 50,000 satellites by 2035. And that's just one company. If the initiative succeeds, it could give rise to an entirely new global industry-something that is already keeping many people awake, for now at least figuratively. "Imagine the sky filled with moons," says Tony Tyson, a researcher at UC Davis and chief scientist for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Tyson remains skeptical that these satellites will be able to direct reflected light with the precision the startup claims.
During the regulatory review process, the FCC received nearly 2,000 public comments questioning the proposal.
Among its leading critics were the American Astronomical Society, DarkSky International, and the Royal Astronomical Society. These organizations warn about the potential effects such satellites could have on astronomy, nocturnal ecosystems, and aviation safety.

Opponents argue that ground-based observatories already have to contend with thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit that interfere with astronomical observations. Even a small number of space-based mirrors could increase light pollution and make observations more difficult, while a future large-scale satellite constellation would radically transform the appearance of the night sky. "For optical astronomy, this is an existential threat, and we hope that the regulators will share that view," said Betty Kioko, institutional affairs officer for the European Southern Observatory, in a statement ahead of the FCC decision.
Some researchers have also raised concerns about possible flashes of reflected light that could affect aircraft pilots, drivers, or wildlife that depends on natural cycles of light and darkness.

Oral rehydration should be with an electrolyte solution, not just water, juice or soda. Pedialyte is optimized. Gatorade is okay. Both can be expensive. You can also make it at home - 1L water, 1 tsp sugar, 1 pinch salt, squeeze of citrus if you have it. This optimizes absorption. 2/
