Not sure how "necessary" the conversation is if the people on the other end think the president has the right to murder you. Therapy won't get you clicks, but at least you get to keep your dignity.

The White Christian Supremacism of this administration is so extreme that it seems like itās got to resolve with either a massive rejection of such illiberalism, or a violent, authoritarian imposition of it.

How does fever work? Our new Science paper shows how elevated body temperature can protect against severe influenza and that avian-origin viruses escape this defence. This is likely one reason why bird flus and some pandemic influenzas can be so severe.š§µ

Sections II.2 and II.3 of this are good on the strengths and weaknesses of LLMs as they stand. In II.2, the LLM functions as a better search engine than any previously developed. In II.3, it reports as a novel proof something it simply learned from scraping arXiv.
