Similar to the Spanish Flu, which every country named after some other country.
In honor of this tradition, when Covid was at its peak, we jokingly referred to it as "the Cordoba virus" instead of "the Coronavirus." Because all flus have to come from Spain, for some reason.
I personally like the term, "pirate hormones."
Yar - har - fiddle-dee-dee! Do what you want cause a pirate is free!
Also we should rename the bird to "türkiye."
I see a major problem with this. Why would we assume dolphins have one single language? I see no reason to assume their languages wouldn't be as diverse as ours.
But worse still, you have to factor in the decline in dolphin populations over time. Maybe at their natural numbers, there would have be many thousands of dolphin languages, each spoken by tens of thousands of dolphins. But we've severely degraded their numbers. Now each dolphin language is the equivalent of one of those dying indigenous languages that now only has a handful of living speakers. Dolphin language might be a collection of such near-extinct languages, each highly distinct from each other. Maybe there's thousands of dolphin languages, each spoken by only a few dozen dolphins.
And unlike human languages, these dolphin languages weren't replaced by some broader hegemonic dolphin language, a dolphin English, Spanish, Mandarin, etc. There is no dolphin lingua franca that we can train the model on. There's just a whole series of dolphin language remnants, mutually incomprehensible to each other.
This is a real problem because LLMs require vast quantities of data to train on. It may simply not be possible to gather enough samples of a single dolphin language sufficient in quantity to train an LLM on.
I don't know if we really want to talk to dolphins. Those things are godless.
Does anyone speak Spanish?"
Fuego en el bano! Fuego en el bano!
The supreme court says that the US government just needs to "facilitate" his return.
Any good-faith reading would interpret "facilitate" as the US needs to do everything in its power to bring him back. Roberts tried to do Trump a solid by using very polite language in the Court's order. You are repeating the administration's bad faith interpretation of the ruling, rather than what any lawyer practicing in good faith would actually interpret the order as.
Roberts tried to hand Trump a way to come down from this gently. This is going to go back to SCOTUS, at which point they will issue a ruling that is completely unambiguous and has no wiggle room for bad faith interpretations.
Jesus. This is the same shit that cost Kamala the election. Idiot libs just kept looking at the median inflation-adjusted income and saying, "look, things are fine, in real dollar terms, people's incomes are up!" Yet they never wanted to hear about the intricacies of how inflation is calculated and how the inflation rate can differ between income levels and life situations. In reality, people in the upper middle class experienced a negative inflation rate, while those in the working class experienced a high positive inflation rate. For those who owned a home and a had nice stock portfolio, their assets increased faster than the rising cost of basic goods. People who owned a home were able to refinance their mortgages to 2% and watched as their 401k balances soared. For them, things were great. For people living paycheck to paycheck with nothing to their name but an overdrawn checking account, they got the increased bills without any corresponding increase in owned assets. And that's before you consider how cooked inflation statistics are, downplaying the impacts of basic necessities, the bullshit goods substitution rules, and how cheaper luxuries can mask the soaring cost of necessities in overall inflation figures.
I remember having many conversations on social media with liberals who kept talking about the vibecession. But they didn't want to hear it. They stuck their fingers in their ears, shook their heads, closed their eyes and said, "median inflation adjusted income is up. Median inflation adjusted income is up. Median inflation adjusted income is up." Not in so many words, but that was the mantra. You could point out the numerous flaws in this, and how the very term 'vibecession' was dismissive and insulting to people's real lived experience, but the bastards didn't want to hear it.
Unfortunately for Kamala and for the rest of us, the voters made her hear it.
I'm pretty sure Elon Musk owns several pairs of Hitler's pants and wears them frequently. That seems like something he would do, and he certainly has the budget to pull it off.
Because most of the crew find it weird that the bridge officers of nearly every ship and station are casual Earth supremacists who are only interested in human games, music, and culture. Among most bridge crews, even obscure 20th century human culture is more popular than contemporary Vulcan or Andorian culture. Starfleet talks a big game about diversity and inclusion. But in their hearts, the officers are all a bunch of human supremacists. You pretty much have to be to rise through the ranks. For most of the crew though, ancient human games like baseball are shunned as symbols of casual racism.
