Up to last year the consensus was that https://www.deepl.com translated much more naturally than the more literal Google translate.
Google Translate tends to do a much more literal translation, DeepL tends to be more idiomatic and free. Sometimes one is preferable, sometimes the other.
But I don't know how it compares to the newest (paid) AI models.

But the rules now mean that some Presidents can get really lucky (or unlucky). George H.W. Bush and Trump were one term Presidents and both got 3 SC judges. Clinton and Obama only got two (Obamas third being stolen by McConnell).

At least 20 years ago all cases seem heavy disabilities:
In 2005 a review study was undertaken of all 22 reported cases between 1997 and 2004.[7] All cases concerned newborns with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. In all cases, at least 2 doctors were consulted outside the medical team. In 17 of 22 cases, a multidisciplinary spina bifida team was consulted. All parents consented to the termination of life; in 4 cases they explicitly requested it. The mean time between reporting of the case and the decision concerning prosecution was 5.3 months.

I even think "cultured meat" will be a dead end and plant based substitution products will win:

[German] Sausage manufacturer completely eliminates “classics” – and only produces vegan versions
“This shift in the range is not an effect that we are only seeing now in the current Veganuary, but rather a long-term development,” explains CEO Michael Hähnel of the decision. The proportion of the range has been shifting towards plant-based products for years.

Noticed this too and confuses me. Even if they normally would react to sexual aggressive/leering men with "thats creepy". Maybe they feel like a tourist viewing a pack of lions on a safe Safari?
Even the MGTOW dudes still construct their whole identity around women, you gotta stop that shit.
How do you mean that?

Choose Your Weapon: Survival Strategies for Depressed AI Academics
Are you an AI researcher at an academic institution? Are you anxious you are not coping with the current pace of AI advancements? Do you feel you have no (or very limited) access to the computational and human resources required for an AI research breakthrough? You are not alone; we feel the same way.

Very interesting list. But isn't it depressing if not much has changed? Shouldn't GWAS studies shown something which can't be handwaved away?

Lab leak has a few things going for it, but these are always presented in isolation and no pushback. It is worth to read through Scotts Lab-Leak-Megapost, which is itself only a summary/review of the 15 hours of Lab-Leak-debate videos. I wouldn't rule out Lab-Leak completely, but I downgraded its probability.

West Germany never claimed sovereignty over West Berlin
Interesting! If I understand the Wiki article right then West Berlin representatives in the W-Germany parliament only had advisory roles and all W-Germany laws were “shadowed” by W-Berlin senate, with a few exceptions like there was no draft in Berlin had no army. Theoretically they could have gone the independent way like Singapore.

The other thread is mainly focused on Lex's language choice, and Lex's skills as an interviewer.
More interesting for me is Zelenskyys language skill:

Tweaking Zelensky is a mess. He struggles to speak Ukrainian, stumbles, switches between languages and swears profusely in Russian. Wonder what happened to the lil guy. Lex Fridman fucking DUBBED it in English, so people wouldn't notice how stupid it all sounds.
Imagine Trump sounding like this: "Hola amigos... fuuuuck.. i'm gonna whoop the cholo pendejo ass. mierda motherfucker..." Not exaggerating, not even a little bit. Crazy world we live in!
RWAPodcast are Russian shills, but they have interesting take and provide a window into Russian thinking. If their diss here is accurate (or not!) I could judge how fair they are.

Nope, looks as if it is already over. That was really weird. I think the society in South Korea needs to seriously re-think those emergency laws.

ABC:
Federal prosecutors accused Edwards of soliciting nearly $1 million from wealthy donors to hide his affair with videographer Rielle Hunter -- and that he was the father of their baby -- to prevent damage to his reputation as a family man during the campaign.
Edwards' defense team argued the donations were personal gifts from friends, not campaign contributions, and were intended only to hide the affair from his cancer-stricken wife, not voters.
A North Carolina jury found Edwards not guilty of one count of receiving illegal campaign donations but deadlocked on five other charges, leading to a mistrial. The Justice Department ultimately dropped the charges.
Hm, but it didnt work to find Edward guilty.
What, what? Was this discussed here?
