Just one more prompt Claude and Microsoft bro, I will pay you next week, just give me the prompt

Microsoft used GithubCopilot the way drug dealers open up a new market... cheap drug first , followed by a steep increase in prices that is breaking the vibe code junkies. Well played, straight out of Breaking Bad.

We got a robocleaner for the house and I agree with Dario: mops are so cooked, don't force your kid to learn to use them

@BlakeMMurdoch at X directed me to this post in reddit about interpretation of wastewater data, and their translatability to number of acute covid19 infections https://www.reddit.com/r/ZeroCovidCommunity/s/qilLQDLvOL A somewhat neglected part of the wastewater signals to infection models is […]

Has anyone found a cooling solution for a V100 Tesla PCIe that does not involve a blower that is noisier than a jet engine at takeoff or a water cooling block that requires surgery to attach? #homelab #ai

If the indirect rates on grants is going to go down, can we at least get rid of the regulatory bloatware (mandated by Congress, the NIH and the feds) that impedes the speed of basic and clinical science?

Going to be nuts out there with the peptides.... Enfuvirtide is a 36 aminoacid modified one for example, many glp1s as well

10% ethanol added in case you are wondering about the octane ratings of US fuel

What are the AI vibe coding addicts going to do when the prices invariably rise? Some of us can live without our slopware, but many clearly cannot

Configuring small clusters via #rex I have a small very heterogeneous home lab (anything from the original Raspberry Pi to Xeons hosting GPUs with a few ARM SBC, i7s, i9s, thin clients, total power consumption about 4000W), all connected via wifi to the "intermets" but also utilizing switches […]

Almost 30 years from the most amazing experience as a medical student: observing the transformation of HIV from a lethal disease to manageable condition over the late spring - summer of 1996. I guess the med students in 2026 will get to experience the antivax era

Humans feasting on vampire BBQ is peak "Van Helsing"

People are going to be cooked at some point (that's Claude Opus BTW - and I am not even trying hard enough). Having said that, it probably got 80-85% of the way faster than I would by hand

Why are Hollywood vampires sloppy eaters? Half of their food ends up on walls and the floor

Re: the supposedly super secret model Mythos (=fable, but in modern Greek this word means lie) here is the main issue. Announcements such as this fail to mention something obvious: many codebases suffer from historical bias ie they are secure according to the standard /knowledge/patterns that […]

I was expecting more from Bloomberg. First of all, if the pandemic is over why do the sequeala cost money? So by definition the pandemic is not over, in which case we should ask the real questions : who made the decision to spend these 135B per year by not ending the pandemic and what the […]

What are the plans of leadership for running this social media platform after the nuclear war at 8pm ET tonight?

Final stretch of the Greek orthodox Lent and the best desert compatible with the fast are vitamin D gummies. I loved you all

One of the best battle scenes in the #expanse ... watch it once, and then in slow motion after 4:10 until the end, paying attention to the gun displays. Holden was a master strategist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDMrVym0j8I

Anyone knows what is the FP64 performance of the Battlemage Pro #gpu cards that #intel just released?

If you want to have fun try to get one of the slopbots to argue about out-of-core numerical linear algebra solvers and their suitability for CPU vs GPU deployments. They quickly end up contradicting themselves because the lit is nuanced. But yeah, AGI and end of scientists.

Lots of speculation on X about B3.2 #COVID19 variant selectively infecting kids & potential molecular mechanisms. However, one cannot say anything meaningful about which variant infects which subgroup without metadata to account for the selection of samples in sequencing runs.

Ensitrelvir was just approved in Japan for prophylaxis against SARSCOV2 #COVID19 Among 2,041 people living with COVID-19 patients, 30 of 1,030 who received it developed the disease within 10 days compared with 91 of 1,011 (9.0%) in the placebo group for relative risk ⬇️67%.

This is just insane .... "pperl is a next-generation #perl 5 platform written in #rust, targeting Perl 5.42+ compatibility." Parts of it appear to have been generated by code assist (and it is not clear what will happen to the XS modules) but 💪 work! […]

Getting desperate enough to ask gemini for a professional opinion

People using the chatbots for math/stats work without any prior knowledgeof #mathematics and statistics (or desire to learn) , or willingness to rederive the results obtained by #vibemathing are going to be so cooked . God help us all (This is Opus 4.6 btw)

Installing the RTX 5090 in a FIPS Ubuntu system (before you get blocked , we only have approvals for 22.04 and Redhat here and I value my sanity) was a major pain in the butt since nvidia-smi would not find the card going through the repo drivers. But manual install worked

The trial in the Lancet that supposedly showed that ⬆️ fluid intake does not prevent recurrent kidney stones is misleading. First they only tested a behavioral intervention to promote fluid intake. Secondly the achieved fluid intake was inadequate […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Lol

Lots of carpan tunnel syndrome. Is everyone using keyboards again?

How long before we use one or more W80s to settle things with Iran? Because there is no credible attempt to de-escalation at this moment in time

There was a little bit of smoke and a smell of burning plastic when I finished connecting the PC but once I repositioned the fan connection and tied a power cable everything went away. Probably nothing but if one is working with a 1650W PSU one must have the fear of God.

35% - 85% - 30%

The ranges of egfr we would like a formula for, is the range that the current egfrs fall short of expectation #Nephrology

He injected his cancer busting dog with Fauci's satanic demon RNA sperm and the tumors are shrinking... But wait, isn't RNA supposed to cause turbo cancer? Does it cause turbo anti cancer too? […]

Stopped at CVS to buy some milk, the floor was wet, I was distracted by a chemtrail that appeared through the window, I slipped and fell on a Nuvaxovid vaccine and this is how I was #jabbedsuddenly

The expanding options of at home testing

Yeap

A profound ethnoraphic observation

COVID is an infection acquired via the respiratory route, primarily transmitted via inhalation of infectious aerosols. That doesn't mean it's just a respiratory infection. Similarly, no longer having respiratory symptoms doesn't mean you've cleared the infection. #medsky #scisky #longCOVID

5x fold ⬆️ of suspected donor-derived Kaposi Sarkoma virus related complications among donor recipients (2/3 were using drugs) between 21-25 vs 2016-2020. Most donors & recipients were HIV-negative https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/75/wr/mm7508a1.htm Rare event but still not good h/t […]

"Just because you can write anything in C and Fortran doesn't mean you should" retorted the AI before I put a bullet through it's GOUs

GNU and the AI reimplementations https://antirez.com/news/162 A very thoughtful piece about AI rewriting of OSS, copyright and the potential to use a tool for good.

Meghan2 is a very good movie, great witty and snappy dialogue

Very weird to be arguing with Gemini about the equivalence of chartr (in #rstats) to tr (in #perl) , with the slopbot focusing on the squeeze flag of tr and use cases that involve counting substitutions to push gsub and gregexpr. OTH the comparison of environments to lexical closures was okish
