I have a migraine medicine (Qulipta) and have gone through half a dozen pharmacies in the last two years. The fact that I have both insurance and a manufacturers coupon seems to screw them all up, and several just stopped doing migraine med

I've found that responding "Well, if that's intended behavior you don't mind if I blog about it then? The post will go up in a week." tends to help them take it more seriously.

I don't understand why people keep bringing up China when this is a european company run by people in Europe. Every email that came to the dev seems to have come from a white european dude. None of this has anything to do with China.

This is pretty sad but also pretty amazing. The original plan was for five flights of around 90 seconds each, and it looks like it finally failed on flight 72 with a total from all flights of two hours, eight minutes and eighteen seconds of

I literally met and worked with Doctorow on a protest back in 2005, so I'm not exactly new to this. I also think that the only way you could have written your comment was by grossly misinterpreting my comment.

The two paragraph abstract states that the goal is to identify CSAM in the training data itself and remove it. They ran a study and found "many hundreds of instances of known CSAM in the [LAION-5B] training set".

Promotions tend to come with financial incentives as well. I also don't think that, as I've gotten promoted, I've actually taken on that much extra work. The work itself has changed a lot, but it's work I find easier and
