I'm heading off to have my cats given their annual vaccination and a check-up!
I hope when I come back they look happier than this cat!

@Bruce Crosby hehehe!
I think this is how my cats felt about going to the vet yesterday!



Hatching some plans with the man, the myth, the legend... @Gargron!

Lots of great stuff in the works for the open, social web in 2024 and beyond!



Great to meet @Gargron, @andypiper and many other #Fediverse and #Mastodon enthusiasts in SF.

Thanks to @mike and @Flipboard for holding the social event!

2020: Microsoft sets goal to be carbon negative by end of the decade.

2023: Microsoft's emissions are 30% higher than in 2020.

Main cause? The relentless push to meet AI demand, which requires new data centers built out of carbon-intensive steel, cement, chips.

Has anyone else seen Have Gun - Will Travel?
Many of the episodes were written by Gene Roddenberry before Star Trek.
I just stumbled across this book.

The Original Frontier: Gene Roddenberry's Apprenticeship for Star Trek in Have Gun–Will Travel

in reply to Muse

Gene Roddenberry described Star Trek: The Original Series as a space Western (or, more poetically, as "Wagon Train to the stars").




"Indexing All Life's Known Biological #Sequences" biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20…

"In this work, we take advantage of recently developed, very efficient data structures and algorithms for representing sequence sets. We make Petabases of DNA sequences across all clades of life, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, animals, and humans, fully searchable and make the indexes available to the research community"

Oh! Finally! Is there anything about static on external monitors? I usually have to wake my deck twice (at least) for both the double-input and the static.

To be fair: I have significantly less problems with sound since switching to pipewire... Over the years oss, alsa, Jack, esd, pulse all had their place but pipewire was actually the inverse of #xkcd927 xkcd.com/927/

As much as I'm generally in favor of blaming AI for things, the explosion of fake studies is not, at its root, an AI problem. It's the very natural result of the ridiculously profitable and predatory scientific publishing industry (more profitable, according to one study, than drug dealing) doing exactly zero work in exchange for the money it charges on both ends of the process.

The party most responsible for Wiley publishing fake papers is Wiley. Let them burn.

Sounds like a serious lack of management and director competence and integrity if the union claims are even half true. Depressing.
