mRNA tech is some of the coolest, most powerful, most promising scifi shit humans are currently doing. They are being investigated to help with cancers, autoimmune diseases, M.S., stroke recovery, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and high cholesterol.
Have you ever heard the horrifying sound of jello being shredded?
There was a time you couldn't compare consoles by their AMD GPU memory bandwidth. They were fundamentally different visions of how you even write software. Of what the future would be. And they got it wrong. Until the convergence. Things were special until they weren't.

I remember years ago this kind of app coming up and InfoSec response was we are not centralizing a corporate extortion database

won't a lot of these supposed mums be grandmums by the time it would be built?
Saying that "autism is preventable" is essentially saying that autistic people should not be born. It's a eugenicist claim.
I had a meeting with my VP last year and I communicated how I sometimes felt like I was not being bold enough and I just wanted to understand I had their support. They told me, to the effect, our job is to operate understanding things are going to break doing nothing. We should be doing something.

My silly little #twitch integration got a bit of an overhaul via #Cursor, which has been proving to be a useful tool of late. #AI isn't a replacement for solid engineering practices or experience, but it very much pairs well with them. github.com/techman83/ch...

I can't say I particularly enjoyed help desk, though I may have enjoyed it a little more if I'd been diagnosed with ADHD earlier. However the experiences I gained during those years have proven to be invaluable in my roles since.
SwiftOnSecurity@swiftonsecurity.com · 2y agoPlease imagine life outside the cybersecurity pipeline. I beg of you. Living is its own job experience. You can't follow my path, but I did Helpdesk for 10 years. I thought it was a shame. And now I'm proud of it and advertise. I didn't have the perspective to know what it gave me. You don't either.
This may sound sappy but this is the gist of what "technology connections" are. Most everyday machines work on pretty basic concepts. They're designed to be convenient to use and effective, but when you understand the concepts through which they work you can adapt those concepts to new problems!
1. I get served an unintentionally hilarious video on Instagram of someone claiming that giving birth with dolphins ensures there is no pain in childbirth and your kid will have a 150 IQ. 2. I google to see where this theory comes from. 3. I get served an AI answer with this amazing sentence.
Quote from me: Calling a predictive model ‘non-decision making’ is an oxymoron, it is a contradiction in terms. Predictions always involve decision-making: which theory to investigate, which target to pursue
This is why I turn off all autoplay and do not swipe up video after video. I want to be in the loop, as growing up undiagnosed ADHD meant I spent enough of my time with my attention outside of my control.
Technology Connections@techconnectify.bsky.social · 2y agoSurely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...
I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS
While I'm a huge supporter of #linguistic diversity, I'm a little cold on Meta's Language Technology Partner Program. It aims to get language communities to speech training #data, for free, with the promise Meta will release trained models "open source". about.fb.com/news/2025/02...
