Sterile insect releases are a tool for suppressing populations and have been used for about a century. This is not really a new suppression technique but a novel way of producing the sterile insects.

It has been used to suppress screw worm in the United States for decades until the administration cut the funding.

These are almost always a temporary solution that need constant funding and seasonal releases to work. The populations will surge back as soon as it's stopped.

That’s old technology now.

That’s like being GenX and saying millennials never learned to use a rotary phone.

Recall the articles claim that efficiency is gaining 2.5 orders of magnitude per year.

Something seems off about this.

The most optimistic outcome of generative AI leaves us with a technology that warps our perception of reality and crushes labor. The most pessimistic destroys all of humanity.

Our CEOs not only insist we genuflect before these machines but measure our sacrifice and shame our reluctance.

I’ve been on a SSRI for 5 years and not once have I thought about getting off of it. It literally saved my life.

I remember a while life of depression and constant churn of recursive emotions destroying me.

I’m worried that too many people are downplaying the benefits that this drug for those of us that it has helped immensely. And it’s extra risky to be downplaying it while RFK jr is actively working to remove the drugs from the market.

Actually, I’m a little worried by what this post demonstrates but not the logo or the use of the api.

I’m worried that switching apps and screenshots _doesn’t_ put the logo in. If the point of the switch is privacy, isn’t that a bug? Shouldn’t it apply the privacy screen during any screenshot? What if there was sensitive information on there when you were switching and taking the screenshot?

Wild to have worked in the industry long enough that 16 years doesn’t feel that long ago.
