Oh go on, as a treat you can go to and fro, or back and forth, but not both, you understand? Well, ok, maybe just a little.

Are we talking “no, sorry I can’t get a chest infection right now, I need to schedule an appointment with the doctor firat, but I should be able to fit you in in 4 months or so”? I ask because I know the US healthcare system is bad, but I have difficulty judging how bad.

How do you know you’ll need a doctor in 4 months??!? How do the other people booking that far out know they’ll need one? When you need a doctor, you need one soon, preferably today. Do you just book an appointment per week and cancel if you don’t need it?

I think you’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head here, most people don’t want to sacrifice what they have for the “greater good”, even if they intellectually know it is necessary to avoid losing even more.
As I see it, there are two ways of dealing with this; either the government forces people to make those changes, which would be massively unpopular, and probably lead to the government falling, or we find ways to make the necessary changes without people having to make massive sacrifices. This would probably involve things like a worldwide push to renewable energy sources, replacing ICE based transport with electric, likewise replacing industrial processes with non-emitting versions, finding ways to grow meat protein in an industrial process rather than farming it, and miriad other big changes.
It would be a massive endeavour, involving international coordination, major infrastructure projects, and a certain amount of state imposed industrial planning, but I think it would still be easier than getting everyone to give up the things they like.

Yes, it is OpenAI’s fault. They also saw it as a great marketing opportunity, guaranteed to get lots of breathless coverage in the press, just like happened with the fable model.

- Comment on Closed game studio returns to un-live service its game with community servers before shutdown: 'We don't believe Deceive Inc. should quietly disappear' 4 weeks ago:
As well as technical issues about how and what code you could hand over, there are likely to be issues around the IP of both the front and backend code, but also of whatever franchise the game is part of. If it’s a good, or at least milkable, franchise concept, they’ll likely need to sell it to recoup sone of their costs. Then, any code they bought in, either as a pre-existing package, or as a subcontracted unit, would be unlikely to have the sort of licence that lets them redistibute it, which means the code will likely be missing key components even if they do distribute it.
Building a basic server that does enough for a small group of players to enjoy is likely to be the simplest approach as they can control what IP goes into the server code, and by not changing the client, they avoid difficulties in that area.

- Comment on Terrorbird 5 weeks ago:
They both share a common ancestor called Archosaur, but then evolved separately. Theres a decent high level description of that here, but the key part is:
Crocodiles and dinosaurs share a deeper connection than most people realize, both belonging to the group Archosauria, which emerged approximately 250 million years ago. This relationship makes crocodiles more closely related to birds (the surviving dinosaur lineage) than they are to other reptiles like lizards and snakes. The archosaur lineage split into two main branches: the Pseudosuchia (crocodile line) and the Avemetatarsalia (dinosaur and pterosaur line). During the Triassic period, both groups flourished and diversified, producing a remarkable array of body forms and ecological adaptations. This shared heritage explains certain similarities between crocodilians and dinosaurs, including their four-chambered hearts, complex respiratory systems, and parental care behaviors—traits that distinguish them from other reptile groups.

Crocodiles aren’t descended from dinosaurs, they evolved along side them and outlasted them.

There were no other reported cases of intravenous semen injection found across the medical literature. A broader search of internet sites and forums found no documentation of semen injection for back pain treatment or otherwise.
That, at least, is something of a relief.
- Comment on A Ripple in Space 1 month ago:
From wikipedia:
As it orbits, it creates gravitational ripples on the edges of the Keeler gap as ring particles are attracted toward the moon and then fall back down toward the ring. The waves made by the moon in the inner edge of the gap precede it in orbit, while those on the outer edge lag behind it, due to the differences in relative orbital speed.
