At this point I think it’d be more notable if they didn’t find plastics in human tissues. It seems to be everywhere including in our brains, and that’s the bad kind of plasticity to have there.
I’m not sure where the lie comes in here, Trump is a liar, but the stuff he’s doing with “deportations” is very much on brand and what he blithered on about in his campaign.
They need to take a lesson from Trump, fire the person giving you real but alarming data and replace them with someone who’ll give you positive data you choose to believe is real.
You could call it senility but it’s also completely in character: lie, make shit up, and take no responsibility for anything, including and especially things he’s directly done.
I’ve used cursor quite a bit recently in large part because it’s an organization wide push at my employer, so I’ve taken the opportunity to experiment.
My best analogy is that it’s like micro managing a hyper productive junior developer that somehow already “knows” how to do stuff in most languages and frameworks, but also completely lacks common sense, a concept of good practices, or a big picture view of what’s being accomplished. Which means a ton of course correction. I even had it spit out code attempting to hardcode credentials.
I can accomplish some things “faster” with it, but mostly in comparison to my professional reality: I rarely have the contiguous chunks of time I’d need to dedicate to properly ingest and do something entirely new to me. I save a significant amount of the onboarding, but lose a bunch of time navigating to a reasonable solution. Critically that navigation is more “interrupt” tolerant, and I get a lot of interrupts.
That said, this year’s crop of interns at work seem to be thin wrappers on top of LLMs and I worry about the future of critical thinking for society at large.
“Early reports indicate that a vortex has emerged as a result of the reversal which is drawing in carbon dioxide, microplastics, PFAS, and, inexplicably, members of the Trump administration.”
The main thing I worry about with this headline is that Trump will read it, realize there is such a thing as the Library of Congress, and then indeed metaphorically burn it.
The shitty part is even if people still pursue vaccines despite new obstacles, we’re definitely losing herd immunity. Seems like these measles outbreaks are just a taste of things to come. What a timeline.
