I think the immune system discussion at the start is really interesting. Good to hear how medical science is using agentic AI.

Yeah I particularly like the way he can communicate extremely complex medical theory well enough that a layman can comprehend it, but he's not dumbing it down.

I find the discussion about the Tridactyl mummies fascinating. It has become quite obvious that there's a mixture of real bodies and fake models that pay homage to them, and early media of that really muddied the waters.

But it does sound like those larger ones are (were) real living beings, and not desecrated modern human bodies like a lot of people want to suggest. It would not be the first hominid we've come across in the last decade or so obviously, but they are the strangest.

Isn't the SpaceX lunar lander plan to just use the Starship upper stage with some modifications?

Then, they are working on it by working on Starship

Edit: 'two years' is unlikely, but Mars does have an atmosphere, so something like a Dragon capsule could land there with a parachute. That's not going to work so well on the moon

I believe that was the idea, but I was asking genuinely. I recall them having the tender for the artemis lander (or something along those lines) and now they've seemingly gone radio silent on it.

Has SpaceX delivered on their promise to build a lunar lander? Or did they just take that money and bail with it?

Are you European? https://archive.ph/qrLFg

You see, tariffs are a tool. They’re protectionist. And when other countries distort markets, importers often respond this way.

You’re applying a literal definition, but in practice, it can be different.

For (a simplified) example, if there’s a 30% tariff on a $100 item, all else equal, the price is now $130, and the customer that originally would have paid $100 is now paying $130.

But what can — and I’ve experienced firsthand — happen, is that the US retailer will eat some/all of the tariff in order to not lose the customers business (or even just out of goodwill).

Also, the foreign supplier can do the same thing. Rather than lose the business of the US retailer, they may, in turn, eat some/all of the tariff.

I’ve seen both of these happen with products I’ve purchased over the past few months.

I’m not saying this happens a lot, but I don’t know that it doesn’t, either.

I’m just saying that it’s not as clear cut as the definition.

The supplier absorbing the tariff isn't sustainable, they will always ultimately pass the cost on to the consumer one way or another. And your $130 example still demonstrates that the consumer just ends up paying more.

The whole idea is to dissuade the consumer from buying a foreign product, and choosing a domestic one instead. But if there is no domestic alternative, then it is always just going to be a case of "pay more or don't have it".

Anyway I just think everyone in the US are very silly for allowing this to happen. Very silly indeed.

You obviously didn't get the memo: Dictionaries are woke.

With the way old Donald wants to rewrite history in the museums, it wouldn't surprise me if dictionaries were next.

Israel will not stop until they have killed every last person. This is ethnic cleansing.

The targets are selected with *.

They're going to deeply regret the next tragic mishap tomorrow too. Also on Thursday. Friday they won't regret it though. But the one on Saturday they promise to regret.
