“The administration’s actions are gutting our deterrence from biological threats,” said Beth Cameron, a senior adviser to the Brown University Pandemic Center

Content warning:

For some reason I'm getting lots of clicks for this old #review I wrote about a piece of Hermes / Perseus #romance. It's a cute idea but the execution could be better as conflicts are introduced that are resolved 5 min later. Sometimes literally.

Review: Hermes and Perseus by David Molina
The story starts with Perseus a few years after his adventures when he has become king. He is married to Andromeda but when he runs into Hermes, who helped him on his quest to slay Medusa, he becomes aware there may be more than gratitude he feels for his half-brother. A convoluted scheme follows.

What do professional software developers need to know to succeed in an age of Artificial Intelligence?
Generative AI is showing early evidence of productivity gains for software developers, but concerns persist regarding workforce disruption and deskilling. We describe our research with 21 developers at the cutting edge of using AI, summarizing 12 of their work goals we uncovered, together with 75 associated tasks and the skills & knowledge for each, illustrating how developers use AI at work. From all of these, we distilled our findings in the form of 5 insights. We found that the skills & know…

"OpenAI will launch a Jony Ive-designed hardware device that will sell 100 million units by the end of 2026 and increase the valuation of OpenAI to $1 trillion" is in exactly the same genre as another piece of news we saw today: "SpaceX will launch a Mars mission by the end of 2026."
What OpenAI bought with $6.5B of imaginary money is not a product company, but a brand. For the layperson, Jony Ive brings the mystique of Apple's

Core-collapse supernova parameter estimation with the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory
The Vera Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to revolutionize time-domain optical astronomy as we know it. With its unprecedented depth, the LSST will survey the southern hemisphere sky, generating nearly 32 trillion observations over its nominal 10-year operation. Among these, approximately 10 million will be supernovae (SNe). These observations will uniquely characterize the SN population, enabling studies of known and rare SN types, detailed parameterizatio…
