While things are getting better a lot of things are still a trainwreck on my end.
While my cat has responded to the thyroid medication, she can’t take it as a pill which is the prime reason for all of her side effects (including being vomity as all hell)
So the mighty 15 year old furball is going to be getting a topical gel in her ears, and is on anti-nausea medication and a reduced dose of the pills until she can get on the gel.
That’s one thing that’s getting better…on the other hand, the day after I posted my message about things going on pause, an elderly family member banged themselves up in a fall and is still recovering.
So we are still in wait and see mode over here. When we know more, you’ll know more. 🙁
Genetic Programming, t’was a big thing in the late ’90’s. They never could get it to work for software though, much more successful for hardware, where the early successes were. Part of the demise of Lucent/Bell Labs.
ALSO, that’s technology that *she* has working for her.
A famous old story:
A company built an awesome prototype fighter plane. I won every fly-off and no other fighter/interceptor could beat it. At stake was a multi-billion dollar production contract. The generals were very impressed and they all agreed that the plane won the fly-off by leaps and bounds and the contracts were signed.
However, one key clause made the entire project fail; the company had to build five more of the plane with identical performance before the production run could commence. The company was never able to duplicate the performance of the prototype.
