My humble theory on naming: Argon-Carbon = ArC

Next: Silver, then Iodine

Slowly spelling out ARC-AGI

I don't really have the time to learn the math to really understand this stuff myself, and I'm not entirely sure I could learn it even if I had the time.

But I love to read about it and marvel that we as a species even managed to figure out this much about something so tiny and complex

You think pond water is the worst thing an $80 motel room has seen?

I can imagine truly horrifying images coming out of this. Many people who have spent a lot of time online have come across unfortunate gore images that they may have seen for only a fraction of a second that they wish they could unsee. One can imagine the brain is able to see much worse.

I absolutely love the graphs that were used in old medical physiology papers. Something about the hand-drawn nature makes you appreciate both the underlying concept the graph is trying to convey as well as the work that went into it. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge techie. I love computers and computer graphics, but sometimes a hand-drawn graph just takes the cake.

Some infections cause cancer-like growths or masses though they're not actually cancer. Though off the top of my head none that I would suspect would survive a trip through stomach acid.

Would there be liability lawsuits for this happening on public land? Might it be more a matter of them not wanting to do body clean up once a week?

Interesting how the concept of a clean room implementation changes when the agent has been trained on the entire internet already

"...the requested warrants would permit law enforcement personnel to (1) press or swipe the fingers (including thumbs) of the subject to the fingerprint scanner of the devices..."

What do you think warrants are? You think they get a warrant and they say, "Can you put your finger on the device?" You say, "No," and that's it? If all they wanted to do was ask you, they would just ask you without the warrant.
