I also do that from time to time, though less regularly, maybe once a month. But then I also sometimes talk to myself (not excessively, just occasionally when I take a walk or while at home, replaying some conversation or imagining a possible situation). I thought this was rather normal, or at least not too far from normal.
Yes, I also had a conversation where ChatGPT insisted it was called "Assistant", not "ChatGPT", while I insisted that the page and all the material I'd seen called it "ChatGPT". It refused to budge on that point.
Sure, as a metaphorical device to underline his exceptional contributions to science/mathematics/etc. and lightning-quick intellect. But not in seriousness, as a "first required step to understanding", like you phrased it in your original comment.
Maybe I'm just a bit allergic to the almost cult-like behaviour some von Neumann fans show.
If anything you're losing some understanding when you try to see him as something other than human. Absolutely outstanding, sure, but not something else entirely.
> She never claims to be a 1) Photojournalist or 2) Reporter.
She might never explicitly claim that, but the page is clearly written in photojournalist style. A photo of snow leopard tracks with coordinates, talking about and documenting the process of her search and how she finally managed to snap a photo of the leopard.
Reading that page I certainly would think the images are unaltered (i.e. not stitched together).
That is not to say that the publications that took the photos were in the right. But the false impression is not entirely on them.
> To that end I am also amazed at how forgiving our brains are for this stuff (a bit like being able to listen to music over a fuzzy, in/out AM station without much bother).
My brain was so forgiving that I didn't even really notice the asymmetries until I looked at the images a second time after reading your comment. I agree that especially in the case of eyes it distracts a bit. Those are generally pretty symmetrical (I say, with one eye that is always a bit narrower compared to the other ^^)
I assume this must be a joke since it sounds like something straight out of a dystopic novel. But then again you also talk about doing some "reputation management work with the defense sector" in an older comment, so I'm genuinely wondering if you're serious.
I'm not the person you asked, but yes, I do eat all those seeds raw with the fruit, usually. I won't eat something big like an apricot pit though. Cherry pits, sometimes. They're right on the size border of what I would swallow.
Maybe the narrative changes because it's actually different people you hear these narratives from? At least that sounds like the most likely explanation to me. Of course there will be die-hard Musk enemies, who will use either conflicting explanation as long as it paints him in a bad light, but the rest of the criticism might come from entirely different groups of people, some of which believe he's actively running his companies, some that things just happen without his doing and he lucked out (or in Twitter's case, potentially had some bad luck, but I think it's to early to decide that in any case).
Rodin's Thinker always comes to mind when I think of famous sculpture, but probably still quite a bit less recognizable than David. Venus de Milo maybe? Also not exactly a David, I guess.
Of these patients, 44 were treated with HAIC and 20 with sorafenib. HAIC involved cisplatin (50 mg fine powder in 5-10 ml lipiodol) and a continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (FU) (1,500 mg/5 days), which is referred to as new 5-FU and cisplatin therapy (NFP).
Contrary to what the article says it IS possible to find information about NFP chemotherapy on the internet. E.g.:

The healthy response to that situation is to just look at whatever good points critics raise, work on them, and ignore the rest. But best to check with someone else if "the rest" really doesn't contain anything valid that you should pay attention to as well.
Unfortunately when I look through my old Favourites playlist, which at some point reached the limit of 5000 videos, I can see how many of those videos are now private, deleted, or blocked in my country. The worst part is that in many cases I can't even recover the video title, so I have no idea what has been lost. A possible solution would be to store the titles separately, but I didn't think about this while I added stuff to my collection.
I do agree though that the unique, unchanging URL is a huge boon, when I look at the situation in my browser's bookmarks for comparison.
The fact that this site keeps spawning eyes all over the place while you are inactive really creeped me out when I went back to the tab to continue reading after a while.
Well, there are countries, like Austria, where we harvest organs from everyone (as necessary) unless the person opts out. Quite sensible in my opinion.
According to the updated description of the YouTube livestream:
"Teams are currently troubleshooting an issue with engine number 3 on the SLS rocket core stage. A new launch date has not yet been confirmed. The next available launch opportunity is Sept. 2."
Foxhole was also the first thing that popped into my head. I'm not sure how "realistic" you can call it, but there are certainly some interesting interactions/dynamics displayed when it comes to logistics.
The full sentence goes "Fewer than 100 Jones Act ships are in operation today, not including barges and tugboats."
Not sure if there was an edit to the article in the meantime or you quoted only part of the sentence.
Seems like that statement is correct, judging by the sister comment, if maybe still somewhat misleading.
If only there was as much development (pun intended) in dentistry as there is in software engineering. With all the amazing advances in medicine we're experiencing it often feels to me like dentistry is stuck.
