Just pasting the relevant bit:

After putting the children on antiretroviral drugs early in their lives to control the virus, Goulder and his colleagues were keen to monitor their progress and adherence to standard antiretroviral treatment, which stops HIV from replicating. But over the following decade, something unusual happened. Five of the children stopped coming to the clinic to collect their drugs, and when the team eventually tracked them down many months later, they appeared to be in perfect health.

“Instead of their viral loads being through the roof, they were undetectable,” says Goulder. “And normally HIV rebounds within two or three weeks.”

The Trump administration has found itself caught between deflecting blame for the weak economic numbers and denying the numbers’ validity. In an interview with CNN this morning, Miran admitted that the new jobs report “isn’t ideal” but went on to attribute it to various “anomalous factors,” including data quirks and reduced immigration. (Someone should ask Miran why immigration is down.) And this afternoon, Trump posted a rant on Truth Social accusing the BLS commissioner of cooking the books to make him look bad. “I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY,” he wrote. “She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified.” He then went on to argue, not for the first time, that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell should be fired for hamstringing the economy with high interest rates. These defenses are, of course, mutually exclusive: If the bad numbers are fake, why should Trump be mad at Powell?

Trump’s people have no idea what they’re doing. Their only plan is to keep up the bullshit and deflection while they steal as much as they can before the country crashes. And then they’ll find ways to use the crash to make themselves richer too.

And look at the next couple of sentences:

More important, the new report showed that jobs numbers for the previous two months had been revised down considerably after the agency received a more complete set of responses from the businesses it surveys monthly. What had been reported as a strong two-month gain of 291,000 jobs was revised down to a paltry 33,000.

Well, now that Trump has fired the chief of labor statistics behind this report, yes.

Statistics from the US Government under Trump should be taken with the same pinch of salt as statistics from China, Russia or North Korea.

Carney, stop appeasing them. It doesn’t gain you anything, and it teaches them you can be pushed around.

Can Canada keep the mountains? I like the mountains.

How trustworthy are the US Government’s numbers these days?

A lot of these right wingers subscribe to a kind of “survival of the fittest” eugenics based on some twisted fascist misappropriation of Darwin. Or at least they do right up to the point where they themselves need help. Then they’re not unfit but just temporarily embarrassed Übermenschen.

“We should cherish all of our different backgrounds,” including his background of getting unimaginably rich through crime, while pinning it on others so they take the fall.

I’ve met quite a few aspiring managers for whom the goal of life is to have other people working for they and bringing in the money while they do as little work as possible. I once partnered with a guy on a small business, only to find out he was like this. He kept talking about how his goal was to hire the most junior developers and pay them as little as possible while he only worked 1 hour per week and got to spend time with his family. I’d argue with him that this was exploitation but he called it “working smart”. Then he swindled me out of $20,000, which I guess was also “working smart”, and we parted ways, leaving him richer and me poorer. Lots of people seem to have the weird idea that morals don’t apply to business.

I’m watching The Walking Dead right now and it’s largely about how living under constant threat and competition causes people to become brutal to one another, and some go completely off the rails and become exploitative and cruel, while others hold on to some kind of ethics even after they are forced to do brutal things. Capitalism does something similar to people. Some resist exploiting others, but many have such weak ethics that their instinct for self-preservation and self-advancement crushes the good out of them.

So the guy who gave us Mosaic and Netscape is now promoting Nazism? Fucking billionaires. There’s something wrong with them all.

Their conclusion in section 3.1:

No, a faster language is not always the most energy efficient.

That said, they really seem to be pointing out that there are exceptions to this rule, where the languages that solve a problem most quickly are not the ones that use the least energy doing it. If you step back from the detail of individual algorithms, speed and energy efficiency do seem broadly to vary together, as one would expect.

This is the first thing you posted to Lemmy with your new account? Not a great start.

Yeah, but if you’re composing a slogan for a billboard people might glimpse for a few moments, you want it short and direct. “Trump is cutting your medical services” or something. The adverbial phrase is itself unnecessary verbosity.

“Under Trump’s watch, Columbus Regional Health is cutting medical services.”

Verbose and indirect sounding, and long enough that it needs a comma in the middle. Could they not have made that a little more punchy?

“They made commitments to address bias and restore fact-based reporting. I think that’s so important,” Carr told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on his show Thursday night.

So sick of these assholes for whom “fact-based reporting” means “lies that promote fascism” and “fake news” means “true reporting.”

And a slightly sticky book of Hitler’s speeches.

Even without including airports, two thirds of the US population lives within this 100 mile border zone.

I was really pleased when places here in Canada started doing this. A close family member is trans, and I really felt their pain when going to a public toilet where we had to stand in a line for men or for women. That stuff can make every bathroom visit fraught, especially with the expectation that men will stand next to each other to pee. I even hate that as a cis man. Far better for everyone to form one line with no questions asked and have a private stall.
