@DAKKADAKKA1 The real lie in that article is associating Palmer with the program. His nuke company, Valar, was not selected to receive PU.

@DAKKADAKKA1 The "weapons grade" part sounds scary when they are handing it over to startups. But it's actually safer to find a way to burn it as fuel since PU-239 has a half-life of 24 thousand years. Not using it means it could eventually fall into the wrong hands.

Wright called San Francisco “the most charming city in America” drawn to its dramatic landscape of foggy hills nestled against steep cliffs and pacific waves. He proposed many ambitious projects that remain unbuilt including the “Seacliff” and the “Butterfly-wing Bridge”.

“San Francisco is the only city I can think of that can survive all the things you people are doing to it and still look beautiful.” - Frank Lloyd Wright He refers to its shanty urban architecture and neglect for its natural beauty saying “time you had another earthquake”.

Vera Molnár in 1990: "…perhaps around '81, I said to myself, ‘Does the beauty of this drawing come from this magic square?’ I'm not so sure. So I tried to manipulate this using computers, only instead of following the order indicated by Dürer's magic square, I went at random." From Molnar by LR Ways Productions, 1990.

Vera Molnár in 1981: "Thanks to [the computer], we will be able to conduct quasi-scientific research in the realm of art. And now we'll finally be able to learn something about this mysterious thing called painting." From Télévision Française 1, 1981.

@DamiDina @sciohn_fhanne heck yeah! I left MTL before the new mayor cancelled the heated sidewalks for Sainte-Catherine, another WTF moment. They have covered sidewalks in one part of the city, I think it's on Saint-Hubert, so nice in the winter to not walk through ice and slush.

@cherenkov451 @sciohn_fhanne i was actually looking forward to heated sidewalks and rain covered sidewalks literally toronto could have been very different up to this point

There was a phase in my younger, pre-COVID life, when I was much more unconditionally and uncritically in the "Canada is awesome!" camp of patriotic sentiment, when I would have been genuinely moved by things like Toronto Tech Week. As I've matured, it's not that I've necessarily become more bitter. It's that I've learned to distinguish between surface signals and substantive transformation. And at present, there is simply very little evidence of the latter in Canada. That's what contributes to my profound near-term pessimism about this place.

torontonian / canadian tech scene be like: - we are like last in developed world with ai adoption and innovation - we have no innovative companies - brain drain is the worst and it is affecting our economics but let's ignore all that and pat each other on the back lmao

@flapprdotnet @redlettermedia @AnthonyAbides Such a good impression, the pauses, the half destracted trail offs (like he was calling while watching TV), talking with the wife, and then the focus on what he was really calling about when he left the room. Absolute genius.

Was curious as to where to Gilliam's Brazil was shot and it turns out a great deal of it was not on a soundstage, but at some fucked up housing estate in France that just looks like this

I just sequenced a human genome to 30× coverage entirely at home. As far as I know, this is the first time this has been done. I didn’t step foot in a lab once. Every step - from saliva collection, to running the sequencer - took place in a single room with a dining table + kitchenette. Six weeks ago, I had never done wet lab biology before. I used an Oxford Nanopore P2 Solo - the only commercially available sequencing device portable enough to do 30x human genome sequencing at home. Biggest takeaway - I could build something that combined software, hardware, and molecular biology far faster than I thought was possible. I can name >100 specific instances where AI helped me solve a technical problem that would previously have blocked me because I lacked access to a domain expert. For example: how do I save my sequencing run when my DNA extraction yield is 4x lower than I need it to be, and I have this limited set of reagents to hand? To make this work, I had to navigate multiple disciplines: - writing software to monitor sequencing runs and orchestrate remote GPU infra for basecalling - learning + executing 5 hour long molecular biology protocols - building a hardware device to quantify DNA concentration Apologies for the hyperbole, but I feel super lucky to be living in 2026. A few weeks ago I decided to sequence a human genome to 30x at home. Then I actually did it. And I did it really quickly.
