"Anatol"

I regret to inform you that CSV has a billion flavors and yeah as others pointed out this variant is likely locale related, decimal and/or thousands separator

another alternative is getting bailed out by the state, too big to fail and everything. Ultimately this means dumping on taxpayers who get no say in the matter. And since these schemes always make enough people rich, there's no political motivation to stop it

sure, but the next bubble is always waiting, I don't think this meta-pattern will ever stop, but I'd be happy to see it happen obviously

So many stories seem to mistake “met the burden of proof in a criminal trial” with “evidence”

bin mir nicht ganz sicher aber ich glaube der Teil mit Claudia ist auch etwas falsch übersetzt

inflate valuation with fantasy numbers, IPO, dump on retail

Dramatic rise in water-related violence recorded since 2022 Experts say climate crisis, corruption and lack or misuse of infrastructure among factors driving water conflicts

As we witness the horror of attacks on desalination plants, we need to be aware, on a warming planet, conflict over water, using water as a weapon of war, & targeting people seeking water is on the rise

- in the past 4 years, it's nearly doubled:

Was mich sprachlos macht: Heidelberg hat 3 Wochen lang nichts gemacht, morgen ist erst Tumorboard, Donnerstag werde ich über das Ergebnis informiert, Therapiebeginn Mitte übernächster Woche.
Bei einem Highrisk-Tumor, dessen mediane Überlebensrate ohne Therapie mit 1,1 Monaten angegeben wird. Nice.

Sometimes I wonder if 20-year-olds can remember when businesses competed, at least in part, by delivering quality product and a pleasant customer experience. I'm gonna have to ask at work this week.

Gonna double down with a reminder that if you post a screenshot of text from an article you should alt text it & link to the fucking article!!!! If you found it on the internet you should share the link!!! Do not force me to Nancy Drew my way back to the source by triangulating fonts w/news outlets.

what does tn mean?

CCS has never been even close to meaningful and likely never will be. Also my point was that *they* (researchers) only compare efficiency in a very narrow context.

they claim "the new electrode was around 40% more efficient than other existing carbon-converting *electrodes*" which is nice but doesn't move the needle nearly enough and just focuses on electrodes (sus). Multi-pronged approach good but I think CCS is mostly a distraction from emission reduction.

careful with these - may work fine in principle but the efficiency math usually doesn't work out, especially at scale.

Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?”

Me (indie dev in this economy):
“Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

Based on my training (having cops put a CI in my house for months) & experience (for trying to do too much anarcho-communist Black liberation with my friends), I have reasonable suspicion to believe cops everywhere on Earth constantly fuckin engage in a criminal pattern of disgusting creep behavior

Every time they scream they have found a quantum system that "does something" it takes me less than 5 seconds to use their own PR to determine that was, again, complete bullshit.

Remember when IBM was an actual serious company doing actual serious research? Sigh.

I """love""" how this is mere days away from automatically creating PRs, LLM-review them and being pushy about a quick merge

Plot twist: all on the same person

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Trump policies at odds with emerging understanding of COVID's long-term harm Studies offer insights into the health risks and burdens faced by people who have had COVID infections. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has narrowed COVID vaccine recommendations and cut research.

The last thing I said on my first call with a client regarding SARS-CoV-2, in late Jan 2020, was 'there will be significant sequelae'. It was obvious even then.

Good Evening Motherfuckers it’s Friday

A post on X from the betting platform Polymarket that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”

Literally as I’m arguing with someone about whether AI companies are misleading people into believing their technology possesses God-like super-intelligence I see this monstrosity
