There is wisdom in buying 2 Hirsch/yubi keys at the same time. Having FA the purchase part, I have just FO the wisdom
why don't any of these fucking things charge with USB-C? jumanjiwhatyearisit.gif
One of the things that still to this day puzzle me is why statisticians don't deconstruct various AI tools to map them to existing constructs/models/methods of their trade. It would have become rather obvious that some (or even all) of the AI are rebranded statistical models, which in turn would
This is going to be a long night, the chatbots need to be reminded frequently that #Rstats + #Perl > #Python #Bioinformatics #AI

Over the last three days, New Mexico has received the 2nd-highest volume of rainfall of any state in the country. An estimated 1.5 TRILLION gallons of rain have fallen across the state! #NMwx
Topped up last week : 80.15 dollars for 15.875 gallons of the 91 octane gas ie around 5.09 gallons to the dollar. Seems price went up slightly today 🥳😎

In other news, Trump calls out the FUD BS of the AI trio. What are time to be alive! "Trump says 'very negative forces' raising exaggerated concerns over AI" www.reuters.com/world/europe...
The companies that tell you their AI products will destroy the world often offer weekend discounts through GithubCopilot to encourage usage. They cannot compete on price with the ChineseModels, they are burning cash they can no longer secure from VC & their IPOs are doomed to flop. Put 2+2 together
The gold standard for producing PDF documents (especially books and journal articles) has been LaTeX. @typst.app re-engineered the entire process in an incredibly elegant extensible way. On my MacOS LaTeX (TexLive) takes 9.1GB of disk space. Typst takes 43MB. Not a misprint.
If I were to be a disruptive and dismissive asshole, I'd point out that the Navier Stokes solution is a gimmick to make the numpties lose $ on the AI IPO since all work in fluid mechanics that matters is done through numerical calculations. Solve cancer or go home

Just to be clear disallowing or capping publication costs in grants is not a bad idea. Some journals are asking for exorbitant fees, enough to fund a few months of a new post doc or pay for a big equipment or even the cost of a new experiment.

We should probably do away with HIPAA as is and put the fines and long term imprisonment terms without parole on the people who use data they were not supposed to have.
