eran_morad, in Keokuk High School helping students with food, laundry, personal products

3ntranced, in Novel brain implant helps paralyzed woman speak using a digital avatar

I remember watching this when the video first came out a couple months back. The technology for recognition from brain signals is amazing but I can’t help but wish there were some better front end devs to make the avatar not seem so robotic. I mean we have ‘indecernaible from reality’ AI models nowadays, just a few adjustments to the speech tempo and inflection could drastically improve the perceived results.

captainlezbian, in Some deaf children in China can hear after gene treatment

I hope they’re comfortable with this new sense

Thisfox, in Jimmy Carter turns 99 at home with Rosalynn and other family as tributes come from around the world

…If he lives in a one storey house (makes me wonder seeing as most people do live in a one storey house, but I guess he could live in an apartment or something) why is there a picture of a two storey house in the cake photo? weirdness.

floppade, in Denver experimented with giving people $1,000 a month. It reduced homelessness and increased full-time employment, a study found.

We know these programs work, but the American public won’t admit it has a sadist streak. We delight in the suffering of those we have decided deserve suffering. It’s part of the culture to engage in shaming and punishing one another to the point where it’s ritual. We repeat verbatim paradigmatic lines of justification. We actively reject opportunities that function better than (in)formal punishment in a wide variety of areas: parenting, teaching, criminal justice, jobs, etc. At some point, if we don’t own and improve upon that programming, I don’t see what else would change our trajectory, save for tragedy.

The service is great but the wait is terrible

@x4740N@lemmy.world avatar

I think typically people eat less horse meat because throughout history they’ve been more useful as utility and transportation

Shotgun_Alice, in Can homegrown carbon offsetting tackle dodgy ‘far-flung’ schemes?

Probably not tbh, who wrote this shell/bp.

FlashMobOfOne, in Leave Texas and other Draconian states and risk getting pulled over for driving pregnant? Nope, just have the pills mailed from California.

Yet another reason to stop expecting Democrats to protect you.

maccentric,

I don’t expect them to protect shit, I just hope they will fuck up things more slowly than the Republicans (and generally they do).
