NGC 6860, Mrk 915 and MCG -01-24-012. I. Spatial anti-correlation between cold molecular and ionized gas distributions in Seyfert galaxies
We present a study of the cold molecular versus the ionized gas distribution in three nearby Seyfert galaxies: NGC 6860, Mrk 915 and MCG -01-24-012. To constrain the cold molecular flux distribution at $\sim$ 0.5 - 0.8$^{\prime\prime}$ ($\sim$ 150 - 400 pc) scales, we used data from the CO(2-1) emission line, obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). For the ionized gas, we used Hubble Space Telescope (HST) narrow-band images, centered on the [O III]$λλ$4959,5007 …

I was thinking on a dog walk about how most games with procedurally generated content like Minecraft get pretty repetitive at some point if you zoom out far enough, and large-scale structures that have structural constraints like rivers are very hard to generate piecemeal. So I wanted to come up with an algorithm that could generate globally-consistent structures piece-by-piece, with consistency even if pieces were generated out-of-order, while maintaining only a fixed amount of context no matter how far from the origin you went. This demo is *almost* that, except the amount of context scales logarithmically with the distance-from-origin, which I find a very acceptable compromise. In the demo, there's a single infinitely-long path that eventually touches every cell of the infinite 2D grid (okay, computer limitations mean it's not really infinite, but mathematically it could be). You can get different path structures from different random seeds, although the generation trick does constrain things a lot relative to the set of all possible such paths (notice that in each 5x5 region it touches every cell before leaving; that's not in general necessary).

Major food wholesaler says cyberattack impacting distribution systems https://therecord.media/major-food-wholesaler-cyberattack-impacting-distribution

Das war ein sehr freundliches Audit, ein nahezu wohlklingendes.

Wakker geworden in een walgelijk land.
Waarin bijna 2/3 van de ‘volksvertegenwoordigers’ ronduit fascistische wetten ingevoerd hebben.
Zelfs als de eerste kamer deze smerige wetten terugdraait, zal de SGP hun evangelie moeten herschrijven: de barmhartige Samaritaan krijgt aan het eind van het verhaal onbarmhartig straf voor het helpen. Christofascisme in het volle zicht. En NSC is de partij gebleken die sinds november 2023 steeds na lang twijfelen gewoon Wilders zijn walgelijke age…

"As we approach the coming jobs cliff, we're entering a period where a college isn't going to be worth it for the majority of people, since AI will take over most white-collar jobs. Combined with the demographic cliff, the entire higher education system will crumble."
This is the kind of statement you don't hear that much from sub-CEO-level #AI boosters, because it's awkward for them to admit that the tech they think is improving their life is going to be disastrous for society. Or if they do admit this, they spin it like it's a good thing (don't get me wrong, tuition is ludicrously high and higher education absolutely could be improved by a wholesale reinvention, but the potential AI-fueled collapse won't be an improvement).
I'm in the "anti-AI" crowd myself, and I think the current tech is in a hype bubble that will collapse before we see wholesale replacement of white-collar jobs, with a re-hiring to come that will somewhat make up for the current decimation. There will still be a lot of fallout for higher ed (and hopefully some productive transformation), but it might not be apocalyptic.
Fun question to ask the next person who extols the virtues of using generative AI for their job: "So how long until your boss can fire you and use the AI themselves?"
The following ideas are contradictory:
1. "AI is good enough to automate a lot of mundane tasks."
2. "AI is improving a lot so those pesky issues will be fixed soon."
3. "AI still needs supervision so I'm still needed to do the full job."
