Exactly. Mostly. But you summed it up exactly-correctly. 🙂
Meanwhile, Trump is still misleading people (imo) about how we’ve been doing the best testing in the world, “even better than South Korea”, and then mentioning we have a low caseload per capita compared with other countries. What’s misleading…[Read more]

Coronavirus Science and Medicine in the forum Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 3 months, 3 weeks agoCOVID-19 (Viral Load) Testing
16 April, Trump claimed we’ve now performed more tests per capita than South Korea. Incredulous, I checked, and sure enough he’s not significantly incorrect. (See screen captures of world testing data, below.) It’s a good milestone, but reaching it this late in the pandemic’s history is (imo) a major stain on Trump’s…[Read more]

Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that can range from mild to lethal. Mild illnesses include some cases of the common cold (which has other possible causes, predominantly rhinoviruses), while more lethal var…

Science — the kind that requires evidence and reason. 1 year, 10 months agoPB, scifi fans have wondrously productive imaginations.
AI’s taking over the universe is a stretch. Its making a repeating big bang rips the “fabric” to shreds little larger than molecules.-
Indeed it’s a stretch, but I can’t rule out that several billion years of AI wouldn’t trump it.
On a related topic–but yeah, a tangent… similar to Fermi’s Paradox, we might ask why we’ve not yet seen evidence of alien AI. IMO, the technology to *widely* propagate self-assembling AI bots would be infinitely more feasible than the glossy-eyed…[Read more]
