That was Obama actually. With swine flu in 2009.

There wasn’t any protocol to deal with pandemics when swine flu rolled around. The Obama admin was caught completely off guard and recognized that the office wasn’t equipped to handle something like that. Luckily swine flu ended up being extremely minor, but they took it to heart and put together a team and playbook for dealing with a pandemic.

Trump trashed that as soon as he entered office.

That’s bullshit and you know it.

None of these models exist in a vacuum. If one company has a specific model that another doesn’t, other companies will buy access to it. That’s the entire business model.

Meta doesn’t need to use MetaAI for it. They’ll use PharmaAI for $1M a year if it saves them $1M and $1 by firing people that could cost them.

And PharmaAI isn’t gonna only sell access to medical schools and hospitals for life saving purposes. They’re gonna sell to whoever pays.

And AI routinely breaks the rules if you prompt it correctly. Convincingly tell it to ignore HIPAA, and it’ll give you everything it knows about a person. If hospital A (conveniently in network with Metas offered health plans) uses PharmaAI and Meta uses PharmaAI, then Meta will inevitably have access to the data. With enough money or the right prompting. These shithead companies have exactly zero privacy safeguards.

That’s how far we’ve fallen. Bush was a god awful president responsible for the financial crash and countless deaths in the Middle East.

But he at least had some redeeming qualities. His PEPFAR program (canceled by Trump) has also saved tens of millions of lives from HIV/AIDS in Africa. He also established the worlds largest marine protected area, the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Trump has no real redeeming qualities.

Yeah they are limited on their screen time. They have to do an hour of reading before they can do any fun screen time, then they can do whatever until bed as long as homework is done.

At bedtime they have to be in bed, but can use their kindles to read until 10 when they automatically lock on them.

I mean believe it or don’t. I don’t give a shit lol. It’s true. I was the same way as a kid, far ahead of all of my peers with a high school reading level in first grade, twice in school scored the highest in the state for standardized testing for my grade. I even got two little trophies from the state for it.

Their mom is an insane reader as well, and clocks 100+ books a year.

They got a great head start with genetics, but we’ve also put a ton of effort into fostering that.

So you literally show where it skipped a generation, because you completely left out the Silent Generation between the Greatest Generation and the Boomers.

Greatest Gen are generally the parents of Boomers. Silent Generation are the parents of GenX. Boomers are the parents of Millennials. Gen X are the parents of Gen Z. Millennials are the parents of Gen Alpha.

Blame the parents that have abdicated their responsibility to raise their children and outsource that to screens.

My kids have grown up with screens since birth, but our going-into-fourth-grader has a 12th grade reading level and our going-into-second-grader has an 11th grade reading level because we make teaching them at home a priority.

They both score way above grade level in math and science as well. Their teachers constantly say they can tell which parents actually make their kids education a priority and which parents don’t give a shit and expect the teachers to do it all.

This was like a week after his death. Ol boy wasn’t even cold yet. She went on a whole “grief tour” throwing massive events.

Pretty well, speaking from direct experience. VA has taken care of me medically. Got my degree paid for. Got a zero down home loan. Gave me connections that have supercharged my civilian career.

Virtually everyone I served with has the same experience. The Marines were nothing but good for my life. Just sucked while I was in lol.

I know there are vets out there with the opposite experience. But the ones I personally know with that experience were shitheads before the Marines and shitheads when they got out/got kicked out.

No I got that. I’m saying that by the time the prod deploy comes around, there’s no proofreading left to do anyway.

Not proofreading texts should have zero bearing on being able to write and deploy software because it should be proofread several times before the actual prod deployment. Hell it very likely isn’t even the same person doing the deployment that wrote the code.

Yeah that’s what the MRs are supposed to be for. To catch those and proofread.

There shouldn’t be any changes at all from the last test to going to production though. Even cleaning up comments.

Code should ideally be going through tests before prod anyway. There should be no code changed from successful test to prod. Proofreading shouldn’t matter at that point. Just scheduling the actual deploy.
