I'm imagining something like modules where model domain can be expanded or reduced as needed. So you basically have a very basic component, call it module 0 (some basic knowledge or ability), that can be "taught" different domains.

My speculation is they wanted to cast a wide net to increase the odds of profit. I think that'll turn out to be the wrong approach, but maybe it had to be that way for technical advancement. I think special purpose refinement will end up being the gold mine. Healthcare, drug creation, etc.

Exactly what I've been thinking. Some of the providers in my hospital are using a limited access model that trains on approved data and only gets used by physicians. Apparently it's been pretty good. Still uses a lot of energy, but my guess is a lot less once you compare to the fuckery one would deal with using a model trained on Reddit and whatever the fuck else they scrape.

True, but hardware is an obvious attack vector. Access is already limited right now due to economic reasons. So theoretically, you could be at some point.

I found a pretty big security issue in my hospital system's employee system (don't ask for details, I'm not sharing anything else). All of our health, relationship, employment and financial data is housed there. We also execute materials orders for the hospital with that login. I was able to bypass their single sign-on (and 2FA).
Potentially thousands of records and orders could have been compromised or potentially already have been.

War and conflict between humans will never go away. The best we can hope to do is put a rational leash on it.
If we do end it, it'll be because humans have been forcefully bred to obey absolutely and hold the same philosophies, which would essentially result in a global monoculture.
I tend to prefer freedom and trade in place of war. It's just better. War has a very limited but important place in my mind (self-defense, generally). But that doesn't always mean just sitting around until an outspoken enemy gets powerful enough to cause substantial harm, which seems to be the modern standard.

I don't even particularly agree with the war/conflict as it is, but the idea that civilians and their infrastructure never be impacted at all by war lest it be genocide is completely ridiculous and one of the reasons wars these days go on so long with so many deaths. Pussyfooting is almost always worse. Besides that, there's usually not much infrastructure that isn't used by both civilians and military. It's probably impossible to meet his standard. Just be honest and outright say there's no circumstance in which you'd support war. I'd respect that more.

You're conflating philosophy with atheism. They aren't the same. Not every atheist holds the same philosophical views. Ayn Rand is a popular example (not that there are many) of someone who explicitly rejected the idea that nothing matters, in spite of her atheism (or whatever term you want to use - I'm not sure if she called herself that or not).
I don't think the two things need to be linked. One can admire intelligence as more than meaningless chemistry without necessarily assuming that intelligence exists everywhere in nature.
Carl Sagan had what I think was a beautiful statement in Cosmos: The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.
Not every atheist is closed off to the very deep spirituality one can find in the universe. I think we just differ in how we interpret it. The big issue usually arises from how that influences philosophy, as previously noted. Some take on nihilism. Some religionists take on fundamentalism. Some of us just take on curiosity and awe. I don't think either side is all boring or all interesting. Hell, there are many atheists who annoy the fuck out of me and I am one. But that's because atheism is a single trait. It doesn't predict anything else about a person.

There's no reason I know of to think "nothingness" was ever reality. There's no reason for there to be a definitive starting point simply because that's how the limited human perspective operates. "Nothing" is probably something and likely always was. A base question is why nothing has to be real. I can't even give you an example of nothing. Even "empty" space is full of something. It seems like a imaginary concept to me, similar to the nothingness before our birth. It wasn't nothing just because I didn't see it. It was just there.
Fascinatingly, many religionists reject this even though they'll claim their god just always existed and didn't need to be created. After all, where did the god(s) come from? Wouldn't that mean there never was "nothing?"
Maybe I'm boring, but god just seems like an extra step for me. In fact, I find the ancient astronaut theorists to be more compelling. As a boring atheist, I find their theories to be less boring and more believable than the religious texts I read when I was an interesting Christian.

It's probably a bigger factor for men than women. I've attracted women way outside my physical league (if that's what we want to compare) by being interesting, fun, and charming. Looks are fleeting and I think most women are smart enough to realize that isn't going to be enough forever.
This all really depends on what an individual is seeking, man or woman. If all you want is sex, probably looks are the top factor. It's fairly individual. Putting all men and women into a box is a mistake I don't think aligns with reality.
Physical attraction is one component of a highly complex (yet simple) dynamic. It obviously plays some role, I just don't think women only care about looks and money like many of the incel types would have us believe. I think that's an easy way to avoid looking inward.

Maybe, they went farther than simply a few hieroglyphs. The resources for mummification, monuments, etc make me think they valued them pretty highly. Probably religiously.

Either way, there's definitely a deep bond between us. They even have special sounds for us. Pretty wild.

I don't think Egyptians necessarily worshipped cats or viewed them as gods, but they were clearly deified to some extent.

I'm almost always hypertensive and tachycardiac when I'm measured at my clinic. I also am when I'm working in ED. But what's funny is how they get concerned about a little over 100BPM and 127/83. One, I usually have coffee in the morning before going (maybe I shouldn't, whatever). Two, it's stressful.
I told him I'd agree to check my vitals at home over time before making any decisions. I'm usually 120/80 or lower, with average resting HR in the 60-70s depending on when I measure (I should exercise more, won't deny that).
And I can't tell you how often I have to correct providers on poor cuff placement at work. I've seen false high AND low (which is something we tend to worry more about in EM). The other day, I moved a patient from a non-perfusing MAP to above satisfactory perfusion simply by putting the correct (two sizes smaller) cuff on her. She also looked well for how low her BP supposedly was. Treating patients by the monitor or single issue instead of the whole picture is another massive issue in healthcare.

One of the most frustrating things about kind 1 clients is when you see notes that seem to have missing context and there's little you can do but use a different client. There's seemingly not much of a standard for how or even what gets rendered.
I'm conflicted because every client being the same may defeat the point of having different clients. However, it would be nice to have at least some basic expectation for what should render in the feed. Some at least tell you that something wasn't loaded if it's a relay issue. Others just don't handle it.
