Link. I wrote this back in the 00s and it’s a 00s style web page. I feel it’s worth mentioning every decade or two. Emily suggests adopting NASCAR style logos for our Congresspersons to wear.

Link. Now they will all download. I’m glad I’ve not used the iCloud Drive device document cache feature.

Link. The false beliefs are unrelated to facts or evidence.

Link. But you need to do backups and backup is dying.

Link. Hopeless.

Link. This attempt to describe modular forms to non-mathematicians contains the most succinct and oddly understandable summary of the Fermat proof I’ve yet seen.

Link. While it’s true her other dog Buddy summoned rescue the dogs may have abetted her escape. So it’s a bit murky.

jk. Good dogs.

Link. “middle third of the time since our ancestors first divided from the ancestors of chimpanzees … ancestral population of our genus first separated from australopiths before 2.8 million years ago”

Link. My whacko theory is you can get dementia both by having too many senescent neurons and by being too aggressive about removing aging neurons.

Link. It’s a big consortium.

“would take just two Pixels, the height of an olive, to store the roundworm connectome data, while it would take a stack of Pixels the size of Mount Everest to store the data from an entire mouse connectome.”

Link. Maybe related to family sharing?

Link. Great instructions. Oakley is a legend.

Link. I get much better results with Kagi than Google for most searches.

Link. This is a story of medical care and the transition to hospice as seen from the outside. It’s short and well told. Everyone did their best.

Link. Like predicting short term stock market movement.

Link. Made it into the NYT.

Link. PowerPhotos makes Apple’s macOS Photos.app suck much less than it sucks. (And suck it does.)

Link. “even though Canada is not directly involved in the ‘Quad’ project, such a confrontation may delay or even sabotage the whole idea. It is a thoroughly terrible idea, because the last thing Asia and the world needs is a huge new military alliance ‘containing’ China.”

Link. Mammals … “might be replaced by coldblooded reptiles that could tolerate the heat.”

Don’t worry, we’ll be long gone 249 million years before Pangea Ultima.

Link. I might sign up to do this work. Would be interesting retirement gig.

Link. X has lots of journalists feeding the hate-hose.

Link. Once 4 billion was a lot of money. Anthropic will be using Amazon infrastructure so not quite as big as direct cash.

Link. “any PostScript object can be treated as data, or executed as part of a program, and can itself generate new objects that can in turn be executed. More recently, security researchers have drawn attention to the fact that it’s a gift for anyone wishing to write and distribute malicious code”

Link. The hate is strong. Do not go near.

Link. It’s finally dead. Now to kill streaming.

Link. The NYT did a serious investigation. Found nothing.

“Mr. DeSantis was a junior officer, who visited only for short stints and was tasked with what one fellow lawyer described as “scut work.” He would have had no reason to witness, and no power to authorize, a force feeding.”

DeSantis likely found untrue story politically helpful.

Link. Presumably parents pay on the side. There’s now a migration industry. The real question is why the military doesn’t change the government.

Link. The 80D gives better images, but the 15 Pro is the better camera for most uses. Only big telephoto (birding, sports) would justify a DSLR now.

Link. Schizophrenia causes immense amounts of pain to schizophrenics, family, and sometimes others. It deserves much more research.

Link. Over 65. The AC Is much appreciated. A tough crowd:

“Seventy, 75-year-olds are spring chickens,” he said. “Sixty-five-year-olds are basically children.”

Link. Student accepted. DeSantis is the ultimate troll but he can’t get any love from Trump’s party.

Link. How to talk about not invading Taiwan without actually using the word Taiwan.

Link. “G.O.P. lawmakers make provocative claims without concrete evidence, sowing a vague public narrative of nefarious conduct that turns out to be exaggerated — or simply false.”

The evidence is overwhelming she knew she was stealing.

Link. Sane people recommend not updating until the fix is published.

Link. The Punan Batu appear to be descendants of a very early African diaspora and have an exotic language used in song. Photography is superb and respectful.

Link. A different kind of overbooking.

Link. Tracking the evolution of neurons.

Link. I suspect the fines are a pittance.

Link. Anecdote in animal language article. I think original recording is very old.

Link. Ugly.

Link. I suspect it’s not much of a may.

Link. Maybe Homo heidelbergensis. Not Homo erectus. Big brains by primate standards, but they didn’t do a lot of tech over 500ky.

Link. By NYT historic standards it’s progress to declare that the House GOP is lying.

Link. The fraudulent academia industry is generating ChatGPT papers.

Link. He’s got a tool for most macOS gaps.
