High-resolution postmortem human brain MRI at 7 tesla
This tool provides performs segmentation, parcellation and registration of ultra high-resolution (< 300 microns) postmortem human brain hemisphere at 7 tesla t2w MRI. This pipeline leverages advances in both deep learning and classical surface-based modeling techniques. The developed method allows us to perform vertex-wise analysis in the template space and thereby link morphometry measures with pathology measurements derived from histology.

Countries like Sweden, Denmark, and Switzerland incinerated 50-80% of their plastic waste. Germany incinerated around 50%. Countries in Eastern and Southern Europe generally had lower incineration rates and higher landfill rates. Approximately 42% of plastic waste in Europe was being incinerated in waste-to-energy facilities.

Parmesano Reggiano has to come from the Parma region of Italy and is certified by some consortium of cheese makers I think. Same thing with San Marzano tomatoes.

There's not a problem per-se, but the issue is that in all reality you'd probably be getting an inferior product. The exclusivity is done so that consumers can be ensured that they are getting cheese from a specific area with specific criteria.
> people are returning to how online communication worked before Facebook.

Except now it's all on Facebook and it's incredibly hard to leave Facebook, because all communications with any type of group happens on Facebook. I have friends who can't leave Facebook, because their kids soccer team holds them hostage. Leave Facebook and we'll kill your child's social life. I can't even join the parents group for my child's school, almost no one else will do it, because it takes time, so they are lacking parents, but it is coordinated on Facebook.

I used to organise playtime for toddlers once a week, no one else wanted to do, but the kids loved it. Everyone was used to everything being organised via Facebook, where I don't have an account. So the communication was done by someone else in the umbrella organisation for all local sports, gymnastics, e-sport etc. More than once I showed up to get everything ready only to learn that the space was booked for something else that day, being cleaned or renovated. Everyone else had been informed, expect me, the guy who was suppose to be in charge of the damn thing, because the organisation had no real website or mailing list to speak of and just expected everyone to be on Facebook.

Everything is on f-ing Facebook, Sports, clubs, hobbies, reselling, announcements of everything local, and only on Facebook. The only exception is professional meetups, which Linkedin will happily inform you about two weeks after the meetup, stupid, brain dead, algorithmically power "news" feed.

I want mailing-lists and Usenet, but everyone else want a mobile app and apparently Facebook.
Serverless git repos would be useful if you wanted to make a product like real-time collaboration + offline support code editing in the browser.

You can still sync to a platform like GitHub or BitBucket after all users close their tabs.

A long time ago, I looked into using isomorphic-git with lightning-fs to build light note-taking app in the browser: pull your markdown files in, edit them in a rich-text-editor a la Notion, stage and then commit changes back using git.

What? Radiology is already full of ML and companies offering quick reporting alongside a traditional slow human report. The UKs Royal College of Radiologists has guidance [0] on how to integrate AI and many hospitals use it alongside other outsourced reporting tools.

This works in radiology because it's not surgery. A hallucination doesn't chop off a limb. Past data protection in training, the risk is low, if done right.

AI offers speedy screening, first-pass results or an instant second opinion. You don't have to —and shouldn't yet— rely on it as your only source of truth, but the ship has sailed on hospitals integrating it into their workflow. It's good enough now, and will get better.

I’m not disagreeing with you, but 22 tonnes is about 48,000 lbs, which is about the limit (or just over) of what a regular semi trailer can haul (at least in the US). So moving it likely isn’t much issue, but the selling it likely is
If you paid for Parmesan cheese and got something else, I’d say that’s already a problem. We are not even taking into consideration that counterfeit food products adhere to no food safety standards.
> whatever activities the employer chooses

This is wrong. Your employer cannot ask you to engage in things that compromise your safety or otherwise illegally put you in harms way.

The thing at question here, is whether the implicit threat of job loss constitutes such a case. I would argue it absolutely does - especially for those at the bottom of the income ladder (like amazon workers). This is an existential threat to coerce a behavior.
i thought about doing something similar when i tried to find a simple solitaire game in the apple app store.

i want a simple game that i can use to kill 15 minutes while i'm waiting in line, but all the version in the app store have been gamified to the point that the game barely exists. so many notifications about daily quests, several different in game currencies, unlockable skins and trophies, accumulating XP to level up ... something.

i'd gladly pay the $0.99 for a version that stripped all that growth-hacking shit out of it.
Not sure if that is entirely valid observation.

Yes the app typically starts simple, but as people use it, they find that it not exactly fits their use case and they face dilemma. Continue to use and find workarounds or keep asking customer service to get this and that implemented to facilitate their use case. They may even say "I would pay extra for something like this!". Multiple this by thousands of different problems people face and at some point certain asks become recurrent. At which point it triggers board meeting and question what to do? It is not necessarily driven by the eternal chase of profit, but simply to make life easier for everyone. Customer service gets fewer requests and customers can actually use it for what they need.
Problem starts when someone new comes in to use the app and they didn't participate in the growth, so now the plethora of extra features may feel overwhelming.

I'd rather focus on apps where company puts stupid limitations or adds features that didn't seem to be driven by customers, but by marketing people. "WE NEED AI!!! EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT AI!!! PUT AI EVERYWHERE NOW!!!" followed by "We'll see what sticks, now aify everything!" of course lessons were not learned after "blockchain everything!" and "we need the cloud accounts for customers!" and "AJAX everything!!!"
This makes sense, AI is a new phenomena and most people aren't using it on their phones as much as they use SM apps, camera. Battery life is one of the major reasons why people upgrade their phone (believe it or not, many don't just replace their battery)

Prokudin-Gorskii's images are fascinating, but he didn't use Lippmann plates. Gorskii took three images using red, green and blue filters. That was also much more practical, because I don't think you can reproduce Lippmann plates, while you can print a positive RGB image with CMY(K) dyes. That's why they're CMY after all (cyan absorbs red, magenta absorbs green, yellow absorbs blue).

What arguments like this fail to understand is that conventions without guardrails, culture and/or guarantees are next to useless.

That’s not a human problem. It’s like saying “this motorway is pitch black, frequently wet and slippery and has no safety barriers between sides, so crashes are frequent and fatal. What we have is a human problem - drivers should follow the convention of driving at 10mph, when it doesn’t rain and make sure they are on the right side of the road at all times”.

In every case I showed it to people, they were amazed and delighted because it absolutely did matter to them.

This may be a biased sample because of how many of my colleagues (like myself) didn't speak German very well despite being in Berlin, but it was definitely the case that they benefited from me showing them a thing invented a decade earlier.

More common is e.g.: radio was invented, and almost immediately people started predicting that by 2000 there would be video conference calling — fiction writers can see possible futures coming well before it's possible. Plus some futures that aren't possible, of course.

Radioactivity gets discovered, Victorian fiction talks about it being weaponised. Incorrectly as it happens, but it was foreseeable.

When I was a kid, phone numbers were 6 digits, and "long distance" meant the next town over. It getting better and cheaper was predictable and predicted, as were personal videophones. Even the original iPhone wasn't much of a step change from everything around it, and no single update to the iPhone was either.

Sputnik? Led to Star Trek, which even in TOS had characters using tablet computers that wouldn't be realised for 40-50 years.

AI? The fiction is everything and anything from I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream to The Culture, via Her, The Terminator, Colossus: The Forbin Project, Short Circuit, and Isaac Asimov, and the attempts to do "real" predictions are even more diverse and include precursors for each scenario and what to expect on the way.

Nobody knows how close any of the speculation is, or how soon it is assuming it's right, or even when specific things such as full self drive is coming (despite being in 80s TV).

We don't know how long it will take between FSD and humanoid robots passing same legal/safety standard (despite everyone already being familiar with the ideas since The Jetsons) or what having them would mean in practice.

We don't even know what we're getting from the AI labs as soon as the US election is over. From what I've heard, neither do they.
It's difficult to understand the math on the storage density. Four colors out of a possible 32 colors is about 15 bits of information, not 40,000 bits of information.[1] If it's 15 bits per pixel and 115M pixels, then the capacity is 1.7Gb, not 4.6Tb.

Maybe I've misunderstood the coding. Corrections are welcome.

[1] Crude overestimate, assume 5 bits per color for 20 bits per pixel. More accurate is log2(32 choose 4), which you can type into Google to get 15 bits.

من المية للمية / فلسطين عربية, "from the water to the water / Palestine is Arab"

Notice that this is nitpicking since the intention is clear to Israelis/Palestinians even in the moderate version of the slogan.

This hurts Palestinians because it discourages their leaders from compromises that might have ended this conflict (see the 2000 and 2008 statehood rejections). It also strengthens the sense within Israelis that there's no partner for peace on the other side.

It's like using the N-word. Once you said that you have that label and feeling, nothing you say will matter to any side.

Stop Trusting AI Text Detection Tools – They're Scamming You
I’ve been diving into this whole AI text detection thing, and honestly, it’s kind of a joke. These tools are popping up everywhere claiming they can detect AI-written content, but a lot of them are seriously inaccurate and just want your money. I made a video that breaks down how you can actually write high-quality content that’s authentic. I even go into detail and give away my in-depth prompt that has helped me level up my writing. Link: https://youtu.be/tefcGBoZ1LU?si=2Ng1mOM_Oc6IIqup

Here’s a list of some of the big names I’ve come across, and let me tell you—they're not as reliable as they want you to believe:

GPTZero – Super popular but flags human content as AI-generated a LOT.

OriginalityAI – Another one that loves to give false positives.

Turnitin – Used in schools, but there are so many horror stories of students getting falsely accused of using AI.

ZeroGPT – Claims high accuracy but guess what? Also unreliable.

Winston – Trying to look professional but fails the accuracy test.

Copyleaks – Another AI detector tool that's hit or miss.

BrandWell – Their marketing makes it seem like magic, but it’s more like flipping a coin.

What’s wild is that they all market themselves as these high-tech solutions, but most of them are just GUESSING. OpenAI even shut down their own detection tool because it wasn’t good enough! If OpenAI can’t do it perfectly, why trust these random companies?

My advice? Don’t waste your time or money on these tools. They're not as “advanced” as they claim, and you can easily get flagged even if you're writing everything yourself.
We do that for decades for our local secret surfspots. Tourists are told the 2nd best surfspots, the best are always kept secret. No fotos, no internet mentioning, and if leaked it's immediately censored. It has nothing to do with AI. If it's not secret it's over.
I agree that Nix is the right idea, but I'm hesitant to adopt it right now because (i) rough edges like poor documentation and inconsistent interfaces make it feel immature, (ii) things are moving very fast with experimental stuff like flakes, which means it will take a while before Nix starts to stabilize, and (iii) recent community forks like Lix might create a fragmented ecosystem in the long run.

What are your thoughts on there concerns?

The facility was operated by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (French: Fédération des producteurs acéricoles du Québec, FPAQ) which represents 77 percent of the global maple syrup supply.[1]

this leverages Durable Objects, but as i remember from two years ago, DO's way of guaranteeing uniqueness is that there can only be once instance of that DO in the world.

what if there are two users who wants to access the same DO repo at the same time, one in the US and the other in Singapore? the DO must live either in US servers or SG servers, but not at the same time. so one of the two users must have high latency then?

then after some time, a user in Australia accesses this DO repo - the DO bounces to AU servers - US and SG users will have high latency?

but please correct me if i'm wrong
The compiler really doesn't have the opportunity to simulate every possibility of code. It's not just the matter of whether the function is safe, but every possible use of the function, which the compiler may not see when it is focused on a single compilation unit or a library.

If you want this level of safety, which is possible in C, then you need to use a model checker. Model checking C isn't as trivial as adding a flag to the compiler, but it can be done with about as much overhead as unit testing, if a reasonable idiomatic style is followed, and if the model checker is used well.

It is still a decision problem, and thus has similar limitations, but you can perform steps to ensure that you have some level of soundness with unwinding assertions and other techniques.
In some ways, you could imagine repos might be more scalable than issues within a repo, since you could reasonably assume a bound on the number of issues in a single repo.

I think you're mixing up two different things: the challenges of building these systems at scale, and their fundamental properties. Take your example of the expensive computer returning 1*1 = inf because of a nearby power supply - that actually proves my point about computers being knowable systems. You were able to track down that specific environmental interference precisely because computers are built on logic with explicit rules and dependencies. When these types of errors are caught, we know because they do not conform to the rules of the system, which are explicitly defined, by us. We can measure and understand their failures exactly because we designed them.

Even massive distributed systems, while complex, still follow explicit rules for how they change state. Every bit of information exists in a measurable form somewhere. Sure, at Google scale we might not have tools to capture everything at once, and no single person could follow every step from electrical signal to final output. But it's theoretically possible - which is fundamentally different from natural systems.

You could argue the universe itself is deterministic (and philosophically, I agree), but in practice, the emergent systems we deal with - like biology or economics - follow rules we can't fully describe, using information we can't fully measure, where complete state capture isn't just impractical, it's impossible.
C++ for sure needs better safety mechanisms. And I don't know the exact number of issues simple heuristics can catch.
