I suppose I'm the only one who thought this article would be about moving oneself to the EU. Frankly, given the current mess in the US government (Making America Little Again), I would do that if I could swing it financially. But I'm retired, and have no kin that live or lived in the EU.

Otis Campbell was known for locking himself into the Mayberry jail.

I think some responders have been misled here, falling victim to Poe's Law. Because you are joking, right? Right?

I'm getting lots of that "We detected unusual activity from your device or network" lately. I even went through my ISP to change my IP address, to no effect. If there really is "unusual activity", I wish they'd be a bit more specific.

HN bans IPs for unusual activity too, luckily they have a human friendly way to get unbanned.

I have no inside scoop, but it sure looks like this was all pre-arranged. Altman made a better offer to Hegseth/ Trump (or offered some other "inducement"), so Hegseth found this way to weasel out of the contract with Anthropic. I don't see how this all would have transpired that quickly otherwise. And of course the fact that three days later OpenAI reportedly got the same contingencies on its contract that were the supposed reason for cancelling Anthropic's contract just looks wrong.

Entirely possible, though I think it might have been that Anthropic wanted extra guarantees outside of what was "lawful".

The stuff that Altman mentioned seemed to indicate that they'll support the US government as long as the US government is following the law, ignoring the "if the president does it it's not illegal" mentality that this administration appears to be taking.

I have no idea whether this is real, nor do I know how the concentration compares with that used in the study, but https://www.nanominerals.co.uk/products/the-health-factory-n... advertises it as a supplement (not as a medicine) for $40/ half liter.

(The ad also claims that the water their iron is suspended in is "energized", which makes the rest of the ad seem...questionable.)

It seems like you could also help direct the iron to the tumor with magnets. That seems too simple to be true, but I don't see why it wouldn't be.

FWIW (not much), around the time of that article, I reversed this: I used Arity Prolog for a morphological parsing program, with C calls for the bit fiddling (because I needed 64 bits, and the Prolog I was using only handled 16 bit strings).
