"EXCLUSIVE" @theglobeandmail.com
except for when The Economist wrote about it two weeks ago
EXCLUSIVE: A quiet revolution happened at Great Ormond Street Hospital last week. A girl with a rare fatal condition received a custom drug under a new MHRA protcol that is 1st step towards process approval, a shift that could one day save millions of lives. www.economist.com/science-and-...
it's worth noting that the shift from Wikipedia to AI for factual summaries also removes our ability to audit the information trail and reveal systematic manipulation like this. AI can offer sources, but nothing like the timestamped/IP address-linked edit history of wikis

Punting Greenland's security to a working group and sending a symbolic troop deployment is probably the best Europe can do, for now.
But in time a more considered strategy may be needed to counter Trump's covetousness.
My take on Europe's Greenland options www.economist.com/europe/2026/...
and if you are watching (I am), why on earth would you want to see this video??
the whole interview is worth watching aljazeera.com/video/talk-t...
especially, if you can stand it, in the context of this report on the rape, torture and murder carried out by the regime ohchr.org/sites/defaul...
wild that Trump calls Delcy a "terrific person" when she's been running cover for a brutal regime for years
here she is with Al Jazeera in Sept 2017, right after the most vicious crackdowns in chavismo history
none of this was true. and she wasn't even asked about the torture
After kidnapping Maduro, Trump is as about as popular in Venezuela as the opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado. This according to our new polling

but there's not likely to be much volume here tbh, you're right. it's more that these bots are out in the real world now and that opens up opportunities to gather data and train software which can take deeper control of the bots. no?
well they can already balance autonomously right? I'd be surprised if the operators are controlling that. i meant more that intent and action is encoded in fight data, as well as how the bots perform in real physical environment
the big deal is that this environment can generate bootstrap training data for that autonomous controller
oh sorry i missed that
its writers appear to be american fwiw, as were 2/3 on original. and in general I'd say the whole story/theme is fairly heavily americanised
it really does
if/when a tool like this gets rolled out by gov.uk, do we have to keep PDFs in the backend forever, or can we eventually swap them out for a more sensible structured database
Trump is wrong about almost everything
But he's right to pursue deep-sea mining, even though he *probably* isn't motivated by the real reasons it's a good idea (a supply of essential metals with lower emissions and ecological harms than the largest sources today)
Heroically spent this week at The Crucible. Please reward my shoeleather reporting with a click. The strange success of snooker: immigration, agglomeration and amorality keep the sport going
