What's up with all of the weird typos, such as:

"APPLE Computer Compagny"

"Palo Atlt"

Probably OCR'd with no editing.

At $666.66 this must have been a diabolic deal!

I remember looking at it about 20 (?) years ago and came back disappointed that I could not use it on my Mac. Well, at least I was able to revive this feeling today... :-(

there are also several oss editors for the original sierra agi and sci formats.

so crap. No inovation those days.

What would you have wanted to see?

Will MicroPythonOS also work with CircuitPython?

CircuitPython docs > Differences from MicroPython: https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/README.html#differe...

Also, there's pipkin: https://github.com/aivarannamaa/pipkin#pipkin :

> Tool for managing distribution packages for MicroPython and CircuitPython on target devices or in a local directory.

> Supports mip- and upip-compatible packages, and regular pip-compatible packages

Hopefully - for 3 types of packages - pipkin supports GPG signatures, PyPI's TUF, and/or sigstore attestations like pip?

Just checked; pip doesn't support checking PEP740 attestations yet either?

Damn, $2000. I wish I'd kept my copy.

I presume this was written back around 2005 or so, but honestly color me impressed if there has ever been malware targeting Amix in the wild.

YNews hug of death, perhaps

This map was created in 1917, so sadly it missed out on Lord Dunsany's explorations of Elfland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_of_Elfland%27s_Daught...).

But... seven years separate Dunsany's novel from this map, and as everyone knows, seven is an important number in Fairyland! I declare a Fae conspiracy.

well next year will be 70 years from Dunsany's death, so pretty much everything of his should be in the public domain then. maybe the map can be updated!

I'd love something similarly scoped centered around nftables. Does anyone have a suggestion? I see No Starch has a Linux Firewall book, but it's from 2008 and is thus iptables-based.

How is this news?

Why wouldn't carriers be able to ask your phone about what it thinks its location is?

In other news, the sky is up

There's a difference in precision between cell tower triangulation and GPS. From 10-100 meters down to 1.

The cell network does not need to know where you are down to the meter and phones have no business giving this information up.

Just me or does sit well to monetize _mostly_ off the core benefits of an open source application?

Can't be easy to build a GUI on top, but I'm sure a 10% revenue to be redistributed to the hero behind jj would go a long way. Would also pay off.

There is nothing about neither the licensing of jj or the spirit of open source that stigmatizes this.

The hero behind jj is employed by Google afaik, so we're good.

Original article: "Cellular survivorship bias as a mechanistic driver of muscle stem cell aging" - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads9175

Abstract: "Aging is characterized by a decline in the ability of tissue repair and regeneration after injury. In skeletal muscle, this decline is largely driven by impaired function of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) to efficiently contribute to muscle regeneration. We uncovered a cause of this aging-associated dysfunction: a cellular survivorship bias that prioritizes stem cell persistence at the expense of functionality. With age, MuSCs increased expression of a tumor suppressor, N-myc down-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1), which, by suppressing the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, increased their long-term survival potential but at the cost of their ability to promptly activate and contribute to muscle regeneration. This delayed muscle regeneration with age may result from a trade-off that favors long-term stem cell survival over immediate regenerative capacity."

> Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury—a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults.

> In skeletal muscle, this decline is largely driven by impaired function of muscle stem cells (MuSCs)

I take it that as mitosis (cell division) gets slower with age, there's also simply no way aging muscles could potentially not heal more slowly?

So slower mitosis and then in addition to that muscle cells going into a "less repair, more survival" mode. Darn, sucks to get old.

No known mechanism, but cross species checks would imply that the schedule was evolved and has some control mechanism.

Species that evolved before the Devonian period tend not to age and instead grow through their entire lives. There is no mechanistic understanding for the wild variation in species lifespans.

So the natural question in these studies is what would happen if we simply told the muscles not to age this way. It’s plausible that this aging schedule evolved due to other factors independent of the biological constraints. It’s also plausible that evolution removed some other important components for longer lived stem cells.

pffft, if you aren't dropping production databases first thing in the morning by accident, how are you going to wake yourself up :-)

It's hard for me to understand how stuff like this isn't in a national museum.

Does it come with amphetamines to go with the experience?

FTA: This scroll is one of the most important literary documents still in private hands.

and: However, the return of the scroll to the auction block echoes an earlier controversy. In 2001, when the manuscript was last offered for sale, Carolyn Cassady – the former wife of Neal Cassady, the real-life inspiration for the novel’s Dean Moriarty – denounced the auction as “blasphemy”, arguing that the scroll belonged in a public library rather than a private collection. “Jack loved public libraries,” she said at the time, adding: “If they auction it, anybody rich could buy it and keep it out of sight.”

The great thing that a site like this can bring is helping to discover and refine anti-patterns [1]. I am a huge fan of showing valid paths to take to speed up learning, but showing dead ends, or at least sub-optimal paths, is often very helpful as well.

One criticism I have though is that documenting a failure doesn't mean you actually realized what truly went wrong and even if you accurately describe what went wrong that doesn't mean you have a real solution to that problem. Often the reason things went wrong were far more nuanced and the fix is not obvious. Adding an untested lesson at the end of each of their failures is premature. I'd call them, at best, observations and next steps to try. They are only lessons after they have truly been tested and successfully navigated around the original failure.

I was excited about this idea, but based on the writing patterns and vague stories I'm pretty sure these writeups are mostly AI slop. For example, this is classic ChatGPT phrasing:

> The growth I’d been celebrating wasn’t real growth—it was just a spike of first-time buyers who never came back.

If I'm wrong, and these were actually written by a human, I'd love a chance to stand corrected and apologize.

Sounds cool, but it also sounds like you need to spend big $$ on API calls to make this work.

I'm building this in the hope that AI will be cheap one day. For now, I'll add many optimizations

Yes, it certainly makes sense if you have the budget for it.

Could you share what it costs to run this? That could convince people to try it out.

This goes much further than Wikipedia, it's just particularly visible there.

Thanks for the LLM comment, but that's dumb. If the problem really was as bad with humans (it obviously is not), then OP wouldn't've happened:

> For most of the articles Pangram flagged as written by GenAI, nearly every cited sentence in the article failed verification.

Agree. I'm curious about the human contribution baseline.

It looks abandoned.

Or complete?

Fabulous, thanks!

Glad to see this

None one country in Asia or Africa. Not one.

Thinking developed naturally as a tool that helps our species to stay dominant on the planet, at least on land. (Not by biomass but by the ability to control.)

If outsourcing thought is beneficial, those who practice it will thrive; if not, they will eventually cease to practice it, one way or another.

Thought, as any other tool, is useful when it solves more problems than it creates. For instance, an ability to move very fast may be beneficial if it gets you where you want to be, and detrimental, if it misses the destination often enough, and badly enough. Similarly, if outsourced intellectual activities miss the mark often enough, and badly enough, the increased speed is not very helpful.

I suspect that the best results would be achieved by outsourcing relatively small intellectual acts in a way that guarantees very rare, very small errors. That is, AI will become useful when AI becomes dependable, comparable to our other tools.

Outsourcing thinking is not a skill. It is the same as skipping gym. Nothing to practice here

> If outsourcing thought is beneficial, those who practice it will thrive

It makes them prey to and dependent on those who are building and selling them the thinking.

> I suspect that the best results would be achieved by outsourcing relatively small intellectual acts in a way that guarantees very rare, very small errors. That is, AI will become useful when AI becomes dependable, comparable to our other tools.

That's like saying ultra processed foods provide the best results when eaten sparingly, so it will become useful when people adopt overall responsible diets. Okay, sure, but what does that matter in practice since it isn't happening?

I love nonogram puzzles, they're incredibly calming in times of stress.

The only issue I have is I'm limited with the size of board I can comfortably play on my phone, and I rather keep my laptop as a games free zone.

Just wanted to say: thanks for the implementation. Butter smooth on mobile - great we have nice things still and someone cares for UX <3

oh I love nonograms!

There's some good nonogram games on Steam - Paint it Back, Picross Touch, Pictopix.

(Depixtion is a bit of a twist on nonograms which I play from time to time also)

The Register stooping this low is the only surprise here. I'm quite critical of Teslas approach to level 3+ autonomy but even I wouldn't dare suggest that there vision based approach amounted to bolting GPT-4o or some other VLLM to their cars to orient them in space and make navigation decisions. Fake News like this makes interacting with people who have no domain knowledge and consider The Register, UCLA and Johns Hopkins to be reputable institutions and credible sources more stressful to me as I'll be put into a position to tell people that they have been misled or go along with their delusions...

That’s some hot CHAI right there very clever and primitive combination, well done as more research for the community.

> consider The Register, UCLA and Johns Hopkins to be reputable institutions

The Register is arguably misrepresenting the story by omission but I don't understand why you're dragging UCLA and John Hopkins into this? The paper is clear about this being a new class of attacks against a new class of AI systems, not the ones on the road today.

> Teslas approach to level 3+ autonomy

Tesla doesn't have an approach to L3+ autonomy, all of their systems are strictly L2 as they require human supervision and immediate action from the driver.
