This is real bad news (it's not like science writers do it for the money, I really find this kind of reputation theft and actual theft very offensive)

Had one of those experiment days where the variations I was pretty sure wouldn't affect extraction yield had no effect compared to my current approach, while the things I was hopeful would improve it, but were long shots, took the yield from mediocre to zero. ... time to open a beer or two

3. The commercial labs producing these products are claiminng to be at the bleeding edge of scientific discovery while not actually participating in the conversation of science. They drop press releases shaped (more or less) like papers, and the media plays along. >>

So (if I understand this correctly), the way AI (companies) will "solve" all the major problems in maths, biology, and medicine in the next 5 years will be by stealing and building on the ideas of researchers naive enough to think their chats with AI companies would be private.

"Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day."

A bunch of maybe too r/Quebec minded people are angry that the trade deal fell through because the Anglo Liberal Federalist Party of Canada decided to defend part of Canada against American introgression and domination. This is why: youtu.be/qsCdPxdvu98?...

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

I'm crankier than usual but I go back to one of my aphorisms: if governments can't deal with obvious issues that regular people can wrap their head around, then people get more radical and stop trusting governments promising schools/community centres again and again and not delivering qualifies!
