@… I agree that LLMs accelerated problematic developments that were already underway. It’s not surprising that they were picked up eagerly by those trying to game the flawed system.
Of course, “the AI” isn’t at fault, but those who sell and use it. But again, if it were as capable as it supposedly is, shouldn’t even the mediocre scientists now produce great research?

So, serious talk: I completely understand why a Steam Machine would be desirable. Even with having all of the parts on-hand, there's still rough patches that aren't really gonna fly with most people. Still have to acquire the hardware (and GPU/RAM/storage aren't cheap), get it assembled (not too difficult, but difficulty increases as you try to stuff more components into less space), and then get "SteamOS" installed (let's be honest, this is Bazzite 99% of the tim…

' Canada's 'powerful' dairy sector is in Trump's trade crosshairs:
Canada's dairy supply management system is in the spotlight after the US president singled it out as one of three main irritants used to justify new tariffs. '
Canada has a very safe dairy supply and we don't want American Big Agro selling into our markets to ruin our health with their "products".

Abstract: In external beam radiotherapy, 3D scanning water phantoms are the gold standard for obtaining relative dosimetry data. These phantoms, consisting of a water tank and mechanical arm, along with accompanying software, are de-signed to acquire dose profiles along and orthogonal to the beam axis. In brachy-therapy, the acquisition of analogous dose profiles is more difficult, and is generally achieved with complex custom-built phantoms or chemical dosimeters such as film or gel. In this study, a low-cost 3D-printed jig was designed and fabricated within a clinical department, to allow precise brachytherapy dose measurements using a PTW BeamScan water phantom. Specifically, this jig al-lowed applicators to be suspended securely and reproducibly within the water phantom. Protocols were developed to relate the scanning system coordinates to the physical source position, and to obtain isodose planes both parallel and radial to the source axis. The developed solution has the potential to be used for physical verification of TG43 dose calculation parameters (e.g. anisotropy functions), the characterization of dose for a single dwell position in a complex applicator containing non-water equivalent materials, or the collection of point dose measure-ments for treatments incorporating multiple dwell positions or catheters.

@… (I think we agree on this but) if we view capitalism and the market economy as inherently toxic (as I do), is work to make it less unequal not counter productive? We need to be building the new structures, not trying to shore up the wanton excess of the old.

Zu EU-Kommission und Geschwindigkeitskontrolle:
Wieso produziert man eigentlich noch Autos, welche ab Werk >130 km/h fahren können? Ausser in Deutschland darf man doch nirgendwo schneller fahren. Alle schwächer und günstiger machen. Dann einfach noch eine Deutschland-Edition, die schneller fährt, aber einen Schalter hat, der vor der Grenze umgelegt werden muss, und dessen Einstellung vom Fahrtenschreiber aufgezeichnet wird.
Im Ausland aktiv?
