Excessive olfactory memory in the insomniac fruit fly mutant:
"we report our surprising findings that insomniac (inc) Drosophila short sleep mutants, which lack a crucial adaptor protein for the autism-associated Cullin-3 ubiquitin ligase, exhibited excessive olfactory memory."
And then the paper goes on to inquire into the molecular basis of this, and reports:
"find that a mild attenuation of Protein Kinase A (PKA) signaling specifically rescued the sleep and longevity phenotypes of inc mutants. Surprisingly, this mild PKA signaling reduction further boosted the excessive memory in inc mutants, coupled with further exaggerated mushroom body overgrowth phenotypes."

I have two Mastodon instances that CONSTANTLY show up in my tootctl account cull as "EndlessredirectError": m.techsocial.site and social.jvan.be. Every single week. Any other admins know what's up with that? Are these dead sites? Troll sites? Technical errors? Why do they keep ending up back in my accounts list every week? The sites don't resolve in my browser, and adding them to my defederation doesn't seem to cause any accounts to be removed.
seems like the error is rather descriptive of the problem: both of these instances are misconfigured to cause endless redirects.
I think the following should resolve it:

I Ran Deepseek R1 on Raspberry Pi 5 and No, it Wasn't 200 tokens/s
Everyone is seeking Deepseek R1 these days. Is it really as good as everyone claims? Let me share my experiments of running it on a Raspberry Pi.Abhishek Kumar (It's FOSS)
I wasn't sure, so after reading your comment, I went to the Ollama website and checked the model they provided. The documentation makes it pretty clear that it's a distilled version of DeepSeek R1.
As for the self-questioning and reasoning, I tested it with Open WebUI earlier, and while there was some reasoning involved, the final response was still correct.
The self-questioning part seemed more like the model thinking through the answer rather than adding unnecessary filler.
