Death to type classes

Death ( XIII ) Symbolizes significant change, transformation, and endings, rather than literal physical death. Have you ever seen a Number grazing in the fields? Or a Functor chirping in the trees? No? That’s because they’re LIES. LIES told by the bourgeoisie to keep common folk down. But I say NO, no longer shall we be kept down by deceit!

And they’re right, AI can be tremendously positive, and some beacons lit into the future could help make that come around.

Being Underweight Might Be Deadlier Than Being Overweight

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-02 02:20:38

If asked whether one would prefer to be too skinny or fat, chances are most people would reply that they’d rather be too skinny. Distorted standards of beauty and their propagation on social media are certainly to blame for this, in addition to the knowledge that being overweight typically brings along a host of health risks. A new study, however, suggests that being too thin can actually be deadlier. Researchers used health data to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and
