He is saying that the Jewish organizations are helping to identify antisemitic hate speech on the platform. You presenting it as "Jewish organizations telling TikTok who to ban" is just straight up the classic "Jews control the media" trope.

It's a controversial and complicated idea. The downside, and the reason why most doctors do not recommend full body scans, is that every human body is a bit weird and there will almost always be something "wrong" that will be visible in a full body scan. This can lead to unnecessary testing, anxiety, and even unnecessary procedures. Many of these oddities flagged by the scan would never have caused any actual issues had the patient never been aware.

While there are many individual stories of full-body scans detecting early-stage cancer before it became symptomatic, there seems to be a general sense among doctors that implementing full-body scanning on a population level would lead to overall more harm than good. The thinking is that it is better to do regular targeted screenings for diseases that you're in a risk group for (e.g. colonoscopies, mammograms, cancer marker blood tests, etc.) rather than full-body scans.

I'm not a doctor, and I personally do find the idea of full-body scans very appealing, but I also know that if the scan detects a possible cancer, I wouldn't be able to just ignore it if the doctor tells me it's likely ok. Any time I felt any pain or any sort of symptom in that general area, I know I would worry about it. Maybe that's worth it for the potential life-saving results, but it definitely is a cost of this type of scan that needs to be acknowledged.

> its cyber capabilities are not as advanced as those of Mythos Preview (indeed, during its training we experimented with efforts to differentially reduce these capabilities)

I wonder if this means that it will simply refuse to answer certain types of questions, or if they actually trained it to have less knowledge about cyber security. If it's the latter, then it would be worse at finding vulnerabilities in your own code, assuming it is willing to do that.

Yes

They had to dig up Ole William to get his side of the story

Blue origin so far is a litigation company masquerading as a space company. I'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah I stopped listening to him when Covid started and he started spewing misinformation despite having seemingly zero understanding about medicine or biology.

This looks really promising, nice work!

If being over the legal limit doesn't even get you buzzed, it seems like you have a very high tolerance due to heavy / frequent drinking.

Rabies has to be one of the absolute worst ways to die.

He was focused on using his machines to efficiently generate mathematical tables. It was Ada who realized the potential of the analytical engine as a universal computer. She even wrote that given a good numeric representation for sound, one could program the analytical engine to generate algorithmic music based on mathematical rules. Babbage himself wrote examples of programs for the engine, but they were all very simple examples of numerical calculations that would be applicable for generating mathematical tables.

That is simply false on a basic level. That notice by the CDC says the EXACT OPPOSITE of your comment. They're recommending that labs switch to a multiplex test that can screen for both flu and covid at the same time because PCR only detects SARS CoV 2.

I maintain a pretty optimal WLB at my current job (I don't remember the last time I've done any work outside of normal work hours) but I do like having work Slack and calendar on my phone. In my case I feel it adds freedom to my day since it makes it easier to just go run a quick mid-day errand without worrying that you're missing a meeting or something. I didn't used to have any of it on my phone because I always heard it was bad psychologically, but as a result I always felt nervous stepping away from my desk for too long because I'd have no way of knowing if someone needed me. I think if I was in a position where I was asked to do work outside of work hours I'd feel differently about this though, but the extent of my after work Slack is mostly requesting days off and browsing some announcement threads.

That's a misinterpretation of the statistics. The most vulnerable population has a much higher vaccination rate than the population as a whole, with well over 90% of Israelis over 70 vaccinated. People over 70 have a much higher chance of being hospitalized, so to only see 60% of hospitalizations be of vaccinated people shows how effective the vaccine still is at preventing serious disease.
