@freemo In the real world (but possibly a lesser film pitch), the horror would be a physicist discovering a true free energy source, and going mad trying to track down the non-existent error.
Someone needs to do a horror movie called "Maxwell's Demon" about a researcher that goes insane trying to create free energy and never succeeding.

The numerical superiority of Russian forces over Ukraine on the battlefield will likely begin to decrease by the end of this year, according to American military analyst Michael Kofman.
Kofman believes that while the Kremlin continues to pressure Ukraine, suffering high levels of attrition, it is now beginning to struggle under “very significant constraints.”
“Battlefield advantage is likely to diminish as we enter this winter and look toward 2025,” said Kofman, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
However, he cautioned against expecting Russia to run out of equipment or personnel soon. Still, he believes Moscow will not be able to sustain its current pace of attack for long.
Kofman’s first explanation is that Moscow is replacing significant losses of equipment with Soviet-era weapons, but even these reserve stocks will not last indefinitely.
“Russia is depleting its Soviet-era assets, and the production rate of new equipment is quite low compared to the battlefield losses. This means that the Russian military is increasingly forced to adapt tactics to minimize losses, which also reduces their ability to achieve any operationally significant breakthroughs,” says the expert.
High payments to contract soldiers in Russia indicate that recruitment efforts are under pressure, he points out. Kofman believes that the Russian government will struggle to maintain the surge in bonuses and benefits it offers to new recruits.
“It’s clear that, at this rate of losses, Russia’s contract recruitment campaign will not be sustainable. This doesn’t necessarily mean that Russia will face a manpower shortage soon, but it’s evident they are encountering difficulties,” Business Insider quotes Kofman.
For instance, the British Ministry of Defense has estimated that the Kremlin will lose 1,000 soldiers daily during the coming winter, after suffering record daily losses in May and September.
The slow and costly pace of hostilities has consequences not only for the front lines in Ukraine but also for Russia’s wartime economy. It remains unclear how long Moscow can continue increasing its war budget.

I agree that using AI to moderate without a human sanity checking it is a bad practice.
In many ways mastodon is superior for using humans, but honestly the bias afrom humans is a pretty big problem too. So im not sure mastodon is all that superior in the end, just a different set of problems arising from each approach and neither is great.
A better solution is to remove any sense of global moderation all together and create a system where the individyual users can be in control of what they see without having to put in the effort of moderating by hand case by case.
The way I'd achieve that is use a combination of AI and humans simply to flag accounts and servers as allowing certain content, have the human tagging be the entire population using a voting system. The tags dont do anything though, or moderate anyone. The users then can decide what tags they want to ban. This way the user is still in complete control of what they see and you dont have the issues with a purely human or purely AI moderator team.

A friend of mine had remarked to this post out of channel saying:
> ADHD and autism have an even higher comorbidity rate, AFAIK, which is interesting
I find this an interesting follow up, so here is my response:
Sort of, in the case of ADHD its far more complicated... for starters the overwhelming majority of comorbidity is subclinical in this case (so doesn't typically count as true comorbidity). Moreover the comorbidity is unidirectional.
To put numbers to it (according to the best study I know of anyway):
* According to their interactions with parents and teachers comorbidity is only 3.2% and 2.6% respectively.
* For those with Autism about 1.2% of them have clinical ADHD while 31.4% are subclinical (their symptoms do not qualify for a ADHD diagnosis but they show some ADHD like properties)
* For those with ADHD about 4.1% of them have clinical Autism while 5.7% are subclinical.
So in reality the comorbidity is much much less between ADHD and Autism. I dont know off hand the comorbidity between BD and ADHD for subclinical but it likely is much higher than the numbers for Autism and ADHD

Know your own self, and do not seek the stars;
For what you seek is found in who you are.
Placed here between the heights of heaven and ground,
A creature vast in strength, yet tightly bound.
Too sharp to trust in doubt, too blind to see,
Too frail for pride, too proud for humility.
He walks a line where shadows blur the day,
In doubt to speak, or in silence stay.
In doubt if flesh or thought should take the reign,
Born to endure, yet always to complain.
His mind a storm where reason’s compass fails,
Too quick to chase the wind, too slow to sail.
A whirl of passion, fury, love, and hate,
By his own hand he shapes his fleeting fate.
Made half for joy, yet destined still to weep,
Ruler of all things, yet no secret keep.
In search of truth, yet stumbling in disguise;
A baffled fool, a wonder in disguise.

You might hate it, but it looks like this election will come down to which candidate can win the furry vote.
Can the wings of the wind understand your cry,
O Second of the First, where flames twist high?
In the depths of my jaws, you are framed in fire,
As cups for a wedding, or flowers for desire.
Prepared in beauty for righteousness' room,
Where the heart beats loud through the chamber's gloom.
Stronger your feet than the stone, cold and bare,
Mightier your voices than the wild winds’ stare.
You are a building, not of brick or of wood,
But born from the thought of the All-Powerful, good.
"Arise!" calls the First, from the endless above,
Move toward His servants, in power and love.
Show forth your might, and let the world see,
A seething, a strength that flows endlessly.
For I am of Him who forever shall reign,
In the fire of His truth, untouched by pain.

A toy idea im playing either. I am taking a text from the 17th century that I particularly like (original below) and trying to turn it into a rhyming poem. The above is what I have so far.

Whom the burning flames have framed within the depth of my jaws; whom I have prepared as cups for a wedding or as the flowers in their beauty for the chamber of righteousness. Stronger are your feet than the barren stone, and mightier are your voices than the manifold winds; for you are become a building such as is not, but in the mind of the All-Powerful. Arise, says the First; move, therefore, unto his servants; show yourselves in power, and make me a strong seething; for I am of Him that lives forever.
