According to the findings that were sent to Haaretz, Mara'i's chest was bruised and his ribs and breastbone were broken. There were also signs of external bruises to his head, neck, back, buttocks, left arm and thigh. According to the autopsy report, he was healthy and had no preexisting conditions before his imprisonment....
“modern AI compares favorably to human reasoning primarily because human reasoning is no great shakes. The vast majority of what passes for human thought is just memorization and sophisticated pattern matching.
“This is why I'm so confident that AI will reach human level in the near future. First, because I don't think ‘human level’ is all that extraordinary. At heart, we are overclocked apes.”
Sometimes, briefly, I miss my days as an influencer online. That was never my plan, but as you know, the former Twitter used Algorithms. The more engagement you made, the higher your presence became. My followers have always been higher than the amount I follow. The more I follow, the less I see, caught up in a fast moving stream of (mostly garbage) ReTweets. #ENGAGEMENT is not Boosting or Liking, it's responding, dialogue, comments, and conversation. #Influencer#Klout#Twitter#Gifts#Thread
Ever wonder why I only follow HALF the people that follow me? The other half are #BOTS
PROVE ME WRONG?
I don't want followers. They followed me. I want engagers, and real people, and I miss the perks of being an Influencer but I give all that up, to meet real people, not empty Accounts.
@KnowableMag reports: "They have held our fascination ever since we first identified their remains. Today, thanks to new artifacts and technologies, findings about our closest relatives are coming thick and fast."
Reminder that in #Gaza alone, around 90-95% of the water supply is contaminated and unfit for #human consumption...
If you dont believe #israel is capable of this evilness (that they've been enforcing for OVER 50 YEARS) read it for yourself, from AMNESTY #INTERNATIONAL
People often complain that morality is in decline, so 🇺🇸 scientists decided to investigate this phenomenon. They used archival and original data (n = 12,492,983). The results show that people in at least 60 countries believe that #morality is declining, and they have believed this for at least the last 70 years 😇 📉. In short, the idea of a decline in morality is widespread, persistent and unfounded.
The need to keep the #gas flowing and the #colonial dream alive outweigh the immediate need to #decarbonize and #decolonize our planet and work together to survive the mess we've made.
Scientists have previously already reported that #lockdowns are ineffective, harmful + alcohol consumption has increased during #COVID19. However, after studying the impact of the 111-day strict quarantine in Melbourne 🇦🇺 scientists found out who was responsible for the alcohol increase 🥴. Unexpectedly, I found out that it was the parents of young children! The diagram shows that fathers are the most prominent, but mothers are not far behind too:
almost none of the reasons why i support #abortion rights have anything to do with babies. really it’s more about the fact that I think the #government shouldn’t be able to force you to lend all your organs to #someone else and change irreparably in the process. is a fetus a #person? I don’t care! If it is a person, I don’t want anyone to be forced to host one against their will! If it isn’t a person, guess what? Nobody should be forced to host one against their will! What’s a soul? What’s a person? When does #life begin? IRRELEVANT! A #world in which the government can force anyone to manufacture an entirely new #human body at the cost of their own is not a world I want to live in!
Untangling the genetics that underlie our facial features.
@KnowableMag reports: "After turning up hundreds of genes with hard-to-predict effects, some scientists are now probing the grander developmental processes that shape face geometry."
Butkevych enlisted in the Ukrainian military following Russia's full-scale invasion and was captured in Luhansk Oblast in June 2022. Russian occupation authorities "sentenced" him to 13 years on trumped-up charges without any legal grounds, human rights groups said.
#Today, I am celebrating my 4 years without flying ✈️.
The #Earth’s #climate is perturbed by #human activites. One of the easiest things to do towards #sustainability is to cut air travels. Thus, 4 years ago, I cut my frequent flyer cards and decided to #StayGrounded, using only low-#carbon travel means such as #train.
Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.
We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.
Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.
#Lithium is definitely not the answer, but only an interim option until we can find a better solution that doesn't cause the level of #environmental and #human damage of this rare material.
Could #zinc be a much better, and cheaper, way to achieve Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation?
