@cdarwin@c.imCalifornians are deeply pessimistic about the direction of the state and nation, expecting tough economic times and are sour on both major political parties, according to a new poll.
Nearly 80% of likely voters say
14 statewide propositions and dense wording make the ballot overwhelming,
shortly before mail-in voting begins for more than 23 million Californians.
Likely voters are split over a one-time wealth tax on billionaires and rival measures that could nullify i…

@thomastraynor@social.linux.pizzaMinor victory with diabetes today. Latest tests shows my A1C is slowly dropping. Last several before were 6.8% and higher. This time down to 6.6. There are bad days for my diet, but I am working on improving it. Also weight is down to under 80 Kg which beats the 104 Kg I used to be 10 years ago.
I will still be asking the doctor about going back to Ozympic as Rybelsus has side effects that are more than a PITA for me. I liked it before when it was a once a week injection vs a pil…

@cdarwin@c.imDinosaur communities were separated by both time and geography.
The Mesozoic Era
(the "age of dinosaurs")
included three consecutive geologic time periods:
the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods
The Jurassic dinosaur Stegosaurus
had already been extinct for approximately 80 million years
before the appearance of the Cretaceous dinosaur Tyrannosaurus.
In fact, the time separating Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus is greater than th…

to enable him to take control of November’s midterms, according to a report.
Peter Ticktin, 80, is a long-time believer in the claim that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” from Trump by a vast voter fraud conspiracy

@ErikJonker@mastodon.socialSo organisations/companies realize that the topmodels are way too expensive for 80-90% of the things they want to use AI for. So they will move to cheaper models/versions, opensource models, on premis etc. At the same time OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI need more revenue to cover their outrageous costs/investments. How will they solve this? Just with big defense/government contracts?

@ddrake@mathstodon.xyzThe low temperature this morning: 80 degrees (Fahrenheit -- about 27 Celsius).
That's the *low* temperature. Dew point was 81F!
Earlier this year, on January 23, the *high* temperature was -9F (about -23C).
A difference of 89 degrees (or 50)!
On that January day, I did go out for a couple errands, and every time I felt like an astronaut suiting up for a space walk and wanted to get back inside as fast as possible.
This morning it was faster to go outside --…

Abstract: Uterine peristalsis is a key physiological phenomenon responsible for various functions across the menstrual cycle, intimately linked to uterine wall microstructure. Alterations in uterine motion and tissue properties are implicated in the etiology of gynecological diseases, yet these processes have been studied in isolation. We introduce a dynamic multi-echo gradient echo EPI framework for simultaneous characterization and correlation of uterine peristaltic activity and time-resolved T2* changes at 0.55T. Inherent susceptibility artifacts, reduced resolution, and burden of manual uterine layer annotation are addressed by an unsupervised adversarial domain adaptation framework, transferring segmentation knowledge from labeled cine MRI to unlabeled dynamic EPI. We implemented Unet-LSTM with multi-scale domain discriminators that exploits temporal layer dynamics. A Dice score of 0.88 and Jaccard index of 0.80 was achieved. Mean T2* values were 108ms, 76ms, and 124ms for the myometrium, junctional zone, and endometrium. A negative correlation between junctional zone area and T2* was observed in 14/39 cases, providing first insights into oxygenation patterns associated with junctional zone contraction and motion, demonstrating feasibility of assessing the interplay between contractility and dynamic T2* changes.

@cdarwin@c.imGold prices hit their highest level in more than three months on Tuesday
as continued conflict in the Middle East and ongoing political uncertainty fuelled the latest rally in the precious metal.
Gold is viewed as a safe haven by investors and its price tends to rise at times of uncertainty.
The metal has risen by about 15% so far during August,
reaching $4,651 (£3,410) an ounce during Asian trading hours on Tuesday,
before falling back slightly.

@cdarwin@c.imA new report has found that nearly 80% of datacenters are also exposed to extreme climate hazards
-- including flooding, extreme winds and wildfires.
Those impacts are leaving the infrastructure vulnerable to disrupted operations, increased time offline and inflated insurance and repair costs, the research from climate risk analytics firm First Street shows.
@castarco@hachyderm.ioSo... I was working on preparing forge.cloudsling.dev to open to the public, to start hosting #FLOSS projects for free, away from Github and other tech overlords...
Well, it will take some more time than I wanted. Our services have been down for around 1h because of a bots avalanche that have been scrapping all they could.
Now, the "attack" continues:
CPU usage above 80% of total capacity.
Outbound traffic at 3MiBps... when we only have 15 registered users, and only me is looser enough to be touching that on a weekend.
Shutting down the servers for the rest of this weekend... 💔

An interesting result that confirms (perhaps suspiciously neatly) what you'd expect: lack of struggle results in lack of learning; letting the AI do your homework harms later exam performance:
“The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of AI users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores.”
Haven’t studied the methodology closely (nor am I well qualified to evaluate it) and the results confirm my own expectations, so…grain of salt!
