kyj probably was involved in and wrote a lot of the dprk material in the pyeongchang secret negotiations

kyj speaks in perfect paragraphs full of brutal jokes, its clear she's very literate, kju is smart too but gentler and charming

@nisten Bro everyone is just sitting and taking it

The UK has gone completely incompetent lmao, just straight up fuck me in the asshole thiel vassal state

Dubai ruling family net wealth went from 500 bags of rice in 1920 to $500b in 2020 in 100 years of change.

Fieldwork rarely goes exactly to plan. For Sunni Patton from the @vegathurberlab at @UCSB, that unpredictability became a defining part of her recent research trip in the Florida Keys. See how the ability to extract DNA, run PCR, and visualise results directly in the field enabled her to pivot quickly in her investigation of bacteria transmission in staghorn coral. bento.bio/story/detectin…

There's no fix for this vulnerability , it's worse than recent copy-fail. I made make a patching guide for CachyOS, Ubuntu, Alpine & void linux. Includes lots of example artifacts, use it to rebuild your kernel & container: claude.ai/public/artifac…

@parmita At what point did you realize the biology problem was also a hardware, optics, procurement, and scale problem?

the stains are a dimensionality reduction of probably the most complex readout of a live cell that's ever been digitized and this STILL represents a tiny little slice of a cell's actual complexity a lot of people ask if it's like working with bacteria; mammalian, especially a patient's, cells are infinitesimally harder to culture. they require the stuff you require for maybe some cool bacterial image u saw in Nikon small world competition, but at way smaller margins of error, and with scale and reproducibility for model training keeping a mammalian cell alive the way you would with a bacteria was a fun (read: not fun) little (read: long) endeavor lol these ones are near the skin bcs they're melanoma cells, and they require a slightly cooler i.e. 36.5ish celsius temperature, you mess with it and make it 37 and the cells might just randomly stop dividing mammalian cell culture using scalable hardware is absolutely absurd, but so was every single part of being able to do this i share these so openly but like they're near-impossible to actually make from scratch. i could write a book on all the photon related, part procurement related, calibration related, scale related, and biology related reasons why lmao it was torture hahahahaha im not kidding btw, torture

@fantine000 This reminds me of Bruno latour

It doesn’t make any sense to be that stem became lib coded and art became right-wing since the culture of accommodating someone’s every insecurity has definitely affected arts moreover

It’s kind of so easy to dismiss someone of any gender’s most profound ideas once you understand the aspects of their personality that struggle with societal expectations and how their ideas are a reaction to that even if presented with stoicism

@sakisavavi in major film/TV disaster and sci-fi fiction, LA has been destroyed or catastrophically wrecked at least 25–40 times. If you include every low-budget disaster movie, TV movie, game, comic, and novel, it is probably well over 100.

There are some cities where there’s too many layers of Hell touching at once. LA is the easiest example I can give.

@parmita Gorgeous

we do that routinely yea
