IIRC they found that even with balanced training data facial recognition models just do worse on darker-skinned people. Something about cameras picking up less contrast on the skin, meaning there are fewer easily-identifiable facial features it can pick up from an image.

That would make more sense if we also counted in base 12 in general, which we don't.

Sure, but it's a bit of a jump to "he tried to secretly dose Melinda with antibiotics to treat the STDs he gave her from screwing underage Russian girls".

Honestly I dislike a lot of the KDE default app names. Default apps should have simple, descriptive names.

The fact that the file explorer is called "Dolphin" instead of just "File Explorer" or "Files" or something descriptive just makes KDE harder to use for no good reason.

I wish I could just easily reconfigure the name and icon of the default apps so it's fixable at least.

Trying to shift further right won't work. You can't do "what the other party does" because they already do it and they do it better.

Find original messaging, take back the narrative. Then you get to tell the story you're good at.

Trump does this exceptionally well. By spouting all kinds of shocking horseshit, the media doesn't stop talking about him. This lets him dominate the narrative. You could see them panic when Kamala was nominated, because suddenly the DNC controlled the narrative for a bit, and polling showed Kamala taking the lead. That advantage evaporated as Trump seized control of the front pages again.

This doesn't just happen in the US. Here in the Netherlands, the campaign was not initially but later on dominated by talk on migration from the PVV. Of course other parties tried to respond by talking about migration, which only helped to legitimise the PVVs talking points.

The horse dewormer thing iirc comes from the fact that ivermectin is a prescription drug, and doctors obviously wouldn't prescribe it for covid. So people resorted to one of the very few ways you could still purchase it: as the horse dewormer variant.

Of course this version is much stronger and intended for horses, not humans. IIRC this led to a few hospitalisations and even deaths.

That's why when people advocate you should take ivermectin, the counter claim is that they're telling you to take horse dewormer, since that's the only way to get it. It's not out of a general 'disrespect' for ivermectin.

You'd be surprised how functional the illiterate can be.

Either:

• The report incriminates him, and Johnson is defending a paedophile.
• The report exonerates him, and Johnson is actively preventing Gaetz' exoneration.

Both options make Johnson a shitstain.

Plenty of fun to be had with LLMs.

It's only an Oxford comma if it's from the region of Oxford. Otherwise it's just sparkling interpunction.
