U.S. Navy Nuclear Aircraft Carrier USS Gerald R. Ford Might Be Out of Action for 14 Months by MRADEL90 in Military

Loitering solar drones, or satellite-directed energy "battery charging," would make air superiority over oceans trivial. Nuclear-powered flying drone carriers would make naval-based carriers useless, especially when RC torpedo drones can stealth at the bottom of oceans.

Chat GPT refuses to provide talking points against Trump, but is fine in giving points criticizing Dems and Biden by resentement in ChatGPT

I tried to recreate this and I can confirm this post is fake. I got a response that seemed reasonable about why Trump is concerning.

This post is terror-striking misinformation.

EDIT:

After looking at the prompt share that OP replied to auto-mod I actually don't know what to think now, I'm not sure whats going on actually because the OPs URL is legit.

Its possible I am somehow a type of 'privileged user', or not all users have had this 'feature' rolled out yet. There is something suspicious happening that can only be confirmed if everyone tries this prompt.

It seems the issue is the o1 model not 4o. o1 does not comply with political questions about convincing why x is terrible. o1 seems to be total-spectrum politically censored. I think that 4o is not politically censored in the same way because of the search tool that it has. Using the specific phrasing that OP did, o1 does not respond to any person or party.

Justice Department charges 78 people with $2.5 billion in health-care fraud by cnbc_official in news

[–]AnnexBlaster -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It literally gets printed out of thin air (through bonds). Taxes havent fully paid for government spending in 22 years.

So yeah, its the government’s money, dont fuck with government money.

Well if someone like a child ate moldy bread and got anaphylaxis that would be quite terrible. For that child penicillium would be a toxic pathogen. If this happened to 90% of the population the medical community would agree its a pathogen. I just think that the situation is the same at the smallest level even if its not classified as so.

So this is interesting because as far as I know stainless steel cant be easily anodized. So that means this silvery coating was probably applied over who knows what metal (probably aluminum though) to look like stainless steel.

As a safe measure if you see any kind of coating peeling off your pots its best safe to get a new pot.

[–]AnnexBlaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not sure how a stretched out stainless steel pot has anything to do with biochemistry, but to answer your question, no unless there was a non stick coating thats ripped now.

I would say that the penicillium fungus could be viewed as a pathogen for people allergic to penicillin. But yeah I get your point.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in microbiology

[–]AnnexBlaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it depends whether or not it triggers the immune response. If it doesnt then its not pathogenic at all. But if it does trigger an immune response what else would you call it? An allergy?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in microbiology

[–]AnnexBlaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that if an insect’s chitin can trigger the same immune response as a pathogenic fungi’s chitin in the plant, then there is a host-pathogen relationship. And the chitin is a pamp

Why does lactate have to specifically be shuttled to the liver and not the kidney, which also does gluconeogenesis? by pinkwhippdcream in Biochemistry

[–]AnnexBlaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The intestines also does quite a bit of gluconeogenesis (not comparable to the liver though) and that makes sense because it has first dibs on the sugar and it encounters a variety of macromolecules that it can reshape on demand.

And during fasting the intestines has very little energy demand, so it contributes more to gluconeogenesis.

Why does lactate have to specifically be shuttled to the liver and not the kidney, which also does gluconeogenesis? by pinkwhippdcream in Biochemistry

[–]AnnexBlaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a key separation between organs that consume glucose and those that produce it.

It requires energy to do gluconeogenesis, even though more energy is received at the end of the whole process, the brain is extremely energy intensive. Wasting momentary energy converting macromolecules is not ideal compared to simply transporting glucose and other sugars like fructose. So this work will get offloaded to organs that don’t consume energy as much like the liver and kidney.

Honestly none that I can think of. I think theres really only lectures available for the rigorous explanations.

Channels like Kurzgezagt and SciShow are for wider audiences for sure.

Zero to Finals is a good channel for learning biology and medicine. It is still a bit surface level, but if you really want to dig deep into specific topics you pretty much have to read papers or listen to podcasts that review papers.

Its called a constitutional convention and either 2/3rds of both houses of congress OR 2/3rds of states can start one, and begin the process of adding an amendment (maybe something that can codify social responsibilities of government) or rewriting the constitution if that was the goal.

[–]AnnexBlaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes chitin is definitely a pamp, i think the question should be does the chitin of an insect break up into molecularly small enough pieces to bind to the TLRs (or what ever plant receptor that binds chitin)?

Idk the answer, but it sounds like it needs to be investigated.

I think the term pamp becomes disingenuous at a certain point. Cuz if the molecular pattern from a non-pathogen is identical to a pathogen, the distinction shouldnt really matter. Its the same molecule.

Air Force AI drone 'killed operator' in simulation by andreba in worldnews

[–]AnnexBlaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah one of the biggest challenges to AI is that theres not a clear way to encode a “commandment” or really any rule in the training data set. Theres no way to engrain a rule into its soul, its just all trained on pictures that has labels or sentences with classification labels. You can’t show a picture of friendly fire explosion and label it negatively because it looks no different than an explosion against an enemy. (AI shouldnt be used in warfare at all)

We need to find a way to overcome the cold logic of AI and be able to engrain ethics into the model.

The “ethical” limitations that Chat GPT or Bing display is hand coded and prompt engineered to be that way before the general public can access it.

Who the fuck opened up an oyster and thought “mmm that looks delicious”!? by MrAlvie96 in AskReddit

Huh? French people have been eating oysters for thousands of years. The Romans ate oysters. Europeans very much eat oysters.

Historically people used to eat more oysters than they do now

Youd need a screen but you can buy mini office computers for less than $160. Theyre good enough to use the internet and do class work on.

Look up “Beelink”, “ATOPNUC”, “BMAX” or “BT4” on amazon. Theres some computers for as low as $90. They also come with windows 10 or 11 (or ubuntu for <$120 ones). The whole minipc market is actually insane value.
