For all the hate Daylight Saving Time is getting because of our "lost" hour, can we at least acknowledge that the daytime/nighttime hours are back to normal. I genuinely hate the early nighttime schedule and I'm glad it's over for now. #DST

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is […]

Scientists in California have created a new way to see inside the body by combining ultrasound with a light-based technique called photoacoustic imaging. The result produces fast 3D images that show both the shape of soft tissues and how blood is flowing. It has already been tested on human […]

Always nice to look out the window and see the full moon... at 3:30 AM. No matter, I'm sure that I'll fall asleep sometime.

#monsterdon I think I'll go re-read Waldrop's A Dozen Tough Jobs now, just to recover from this. Thanks to all who participated and organized this.

#monsterdon Yeah, they're definitely not going into Heracles's parentage. Can't offend Zeus.

Note, important safety tip: you can get closer to this tower without clearly trespassing or jumping fences than most other 50KW broadcast antennas I've encountered.

#monsterdon Hot take: Ian is the only sensible character here. I will die on this hill. Which is better than in the swamp.

#monsterdon I am disappointed that the Daleks don't seem to have learned the word "exterminate" yet.

#monsterdon Yes! Lava Lamps! Always a sign of an advanced civilization.

PBS/Passport is showing an American Masters documentary on Sun Ra. Good stuff. Tune your streaming devices to Saturn... Interesting to contrast Sun Ra's Afrofuturism, which was asexual or maybe post-sexual, with Fela Kuti's Afrobeat movement, which was hypersexual. Sun Ra: Do The Impossible - […]

Two decades after a small Duke breast cancer vaccine trial, every participant is still alive — a rare outcome for metastatic disease. When researchers looked closer, they found the women’s immune systems still carried “memory” cells that recognised the cancer. Science Daily […]

I guess it helps to make your movie under a major studio -- you get access to a good music department and a host of character actors. Everything but someone who could punch up the script. I did appreciate seeing character actor Guy Raymond though, a staple of my TV watching youth.

The ONE CENTRAL message of Asimov's ‘Foundation’ saga is that History is not shaped by the choices of single individuals but by their aggregate actions. Admittedly, Asimov himself struggled with that premise, and it may not be true in real life. But still, if you're …

Omg, Joi Ito recommended Warren Ellis' Global Frequency with an Amazon link directly to Epstein: "A version of a "good conspiracy". Not exactly what we're looking for but something interesting." NOT EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR (Ellis himself does not appear in the archive)
