Link. Only binds the 9th circuit, hits SF most. The article is poorly written but I think the problem is:
1. SF doesn’t have enough shelter beds
2. The beds they do have are not fully occupied
3. It’s neither sensible or feasible to create more empty beds to meet 9th district ruling.
Link. I like the theory that Apple can’t retain their skillful devs. So we get newbies.
Link. Bankman-Fried is at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after violating bail terms. I wonder if he didn’t understand the American jail.

Link. Microglia target is good and existing approval makes it easier to study in humans.
Link. “The days of John Bogle are long past.”
Link. Short demo and very well done.
Link. Their revenue has fallen dramatically however. The death of Twitter is bringing a lot of things to a quicker ending.
Link. Proximal vectors are expected to be semantically similar. (PS. Python may finally be the “next C”.
Link. Fantasy uptime numbers.
Link. Doug (Cyc) Lenat’s final paper with Gary Marcus, written as he was dying.
Skip to the conclusion first. I think we will do something like this.
Link. “In the fall, as ChatGPT captured the public imagination, Dr. Lenat and the cognitive scientist Gary Marcus began work on a new paper meant to show the new generation of researchers what they could learn from his nearly 40 years of work on Cyc. While working on the project, he had a recurrence of cancer that had first appeared in 2021.”
https://bit.ly/3LbcPVD is the short paper written as he was dying.

Link. Very much my kind of tourism. #paris
Link. Of course they never left. SK is extreme.
Link. Diplomacy is doing a lot of work here. It’s cheap and effective, Russia and China like it too.
Link. You may wait months for the container to arrive though.
Link. Fun stories in human evolution never die.
Link. Speciation event?
“evidence that the chromosomes had fused in the common ancestors of ancestral African, Neandertal, and Denisovan populations, but also that the ancestral 2b centromere had already evolved into its humanlike nonfunctional form before these hominins diverged.”
Link. Whacked out drug lord thought students were a competing group. US had text message by tap but (accurately) distrusted insanely corrupt Mexican gov and military.
Link. GoDaddy administers for NTIA. Incompetently.
Link. And more effective meds are coming.
Link. Surplus of mid-day power. So storing heat. Not operational yet.
Link. Two theories – one is bad news.
1. The premium now requires skills beyond college.
2. Non-college wages rising
Link. Underground town for incinerator heat.
Link. A recent Michael Tsai roundup made me revisit an old topic — how tech and complexity is disenfranchising everyone with an IQ under 110 or so. #massDisability
Link. Linking to this August mastodon post because it’s so hard to find things on my instance (no search, Google doesn’t index it).
Link. It’s not really an Old thing, it’s a cognitive skill thing. About 50% of Americans have been left behind. It’s going to get worse. #massDisability
Link. Holy cow. This has been so hard to do for years. You can maybe even download Lion. It claims Ventura will run on my 2016 Air (currently on Mojave)
Link. Ugh. This is a blow to students especially. Visual Studio Mac was pretty nice.
Link. Lots of bribes will flow to GOP SCOTUS.
Link. “there’s now enough computing power available on a US $0.70 CPU to make Python a contender in embedded development, despite the overhead of an interpreter”
“You can still get a job today as a Fortran programmer”
Link. Via Mastodon. I’d buy these.
Link. Noah and the Economist do battle. He’s winning.
“The Economist seems to be picking random data points about countries importing more stuff from China, and just assuming, without evidence, or in direct contradiction of the evidence…”
YABW. (Yet another Biden win)
Link. The real story here is why they didn’t do a better job.
“the operation published a 66-page research paper falsely claiming that Covid had started in the United States”
The party line is that COVID came to China via frozen food. Which is so dumb, but they started with it and have to stick with it.
Link. Canadian politicians keep digging. Can’t stop ….
Link. He chose “Sony XAVAX1000, 6.2-inch media receiver. Simple, clean design with an actual knob. I think it’s discontinued but Best Buy had one.”
Link. You kind of have to accept automatic update.
Link. Historical myths proliferate, especially when they fit a culturally fashionable frame.
“… it should perhaps be a requirement to upload to some public repository the photographs or transcriptions of any cited archival sources that are not otherwise freely accessible online…”
Link. “Schools that combined better ventilation with filtration had 48 percent fewer cases …. A large study of schools in Italy … ventilation systems or devices that deliver clean air had an at least 74 percent lower risk of infection than students in classrooms with open windows.”
There’s a ton of unsent rescuer money, about 20% schools need spending to achieve standards. I wonder if spending rules are too complex or have legal risk to staff.
Link. 2008! I assume runs on old versions of Windows.
Link. I didn’t know they existed until recently. Old tech.

Link. Sometimes one tribe is really f*cked up and the other tribe is not.
