Global achievement recorded in Israel - melanoma incidence rates have declined by 30% among Jewish women and stability has been observed among Jewish men

After a government education program to promote sunscreen use lmao.

Among the Arab population in Israel, melanoma is a rare disease and the morbidity rates amount to no more than a handful of cases.

How do you get the 30% reduction if you're not as "white skinned" as we've been led to believe? Sounds like you're just thin skinned because you know you're repeating history.

With the inherent biases present in any LLM training model, the issue of hallucinations that you've brought up, alongside the cost of running an LLM at scale being prohibitive to anyone besides private-state partnerships, do you think that will allay conspiracists' valid concerns about the centralization of information access, a la the reduction in quality google search results over the past decade and a half?

Yup, I got dogpiled with smarmy comments downplaying my pointing out that the Open Technology Fund (that's affiliated with Radio Free Asia) audited the Signal Protocol. I still try to get people to switch to it from SMS or Whatsapp (with limited success, an ex was one of the few who already had it installed prior... cuz of their dealer), but it's not like I have any illusions of organizing the revolution on the app

People are free to draw their own conclusions from it. Do you have anything material to contribute, or will you just be putting more smarmy words in my mouth from here on out?

Back when the Signal org used to be called Open Whisper Systems it received grants and auditing from the Open Technology Fund which, at the time, was still a part of Radio Free Asia.

Alas, Dr. Mullen's impact factor has waned ever since that Sus halkias obesity germline escaped his research facility, necessitating the pivot to entomology. My electrons are in their Highest Occupied Molecular Orbitals.

The one thing I've had issues with has been sending files to other devices over Bluetooth, but receiving hasn't been a problem. Has anyone else had this issue & been able to fix it?

Building on this, does anyone use tablets to keep a digital laboratory notebook? I'm picturing keeping one in a capacitive, clear envelope that you could sterilize by spraying with 70% ethanol if necessary, yet still permit you to write with a stylus while wearing dirty gloves

Does an instance block apply to your account or just when using Connect? Could I switch to Jerboa after & still have that instance blocked?

I'm more than set on that front: your dad took me on a romantic picnic this evening but forgot a blanket and now my whole back has a rash ;)
