  • Where does that headline phrasing come from? The study does not, and does not claim to, pinpoint anything for autism.

    They use mice bred for hypersensitivity, and look at which parts of those mice’s brains can be suppressed to reduce measured sensitivity to heated floors and electric shock.

    They use “mice models of autism” to get an indication of where to maybe start looking on the slim chance it turns out to be similar in humans.

    The mouse model may turn out to be a different kind of hypersensitivity altogether. Human brains may wire hypersensitivity very differently. The observed results may be that the mice’s reactions are different instead of weaker. Etc…

    It is valid science, but a long shot away from a long shot at being applicable for autism in humans.





  • Yes, the oppressed are eager to hurt people any way they can, and nobody can expect it to be any other way.

    But still, launching long range missiles isn’t an impulse action. There are so many actors domestic and internationally to do production, procurement, installation, logistics, assembly, that we can assume someone high up has made a strategic decision based on expected outcome.

    And the expected outcome is extremely obvious: a) zero tactical gains, and b) more excuses to ignore international pressure and hit Rafah even more brutally.


  • You see: The female and male brains are evolved due to caveman and lizard brain woman gatherers ovulations cause them to emotionally react to preserve other females wellbeing for offspring genes preserve evolve and this is all backed up by (laughably bad) science (from decades ago) and is theorised by top behavioral scientists (debunked lying grifters) today.

    Thank you for coming to my TEDx talk.

  • Context:

    Tull is a user here. He created a Large Language Model AI persona to help himself, and he had some thoughts it may help others. There was a post about it a while back where he asked people’s thoughts on it.

    He seems to now be putting this LLM forward as a Lemmy user claiming sentience, which has been met with confusion and negativity.

    Fun fact! This of course extends to lottery numbers. So, you are exactly as likely to win the big prize with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 as with any other set of numbers.

    People who feel very smart thus pick numbers like that and are happy to explain the probability analysis to you at length, and why you don’t need to pick random numbers.

    Then people who are smart take into account that popular numbers increase your chances of having other people with same numbers as you sharing the prize, and they pick random numbers. :)

    In the Norwegian lottery, an official at some point said that if the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ever got picked, so many people would have to share the prize that it would not be a noteworthy amount of money for each.
