The text in the screenshot is exactly what the Hebrew scripture “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” is warning against. People think of that text as an endorsement of revenge, but it’s not; it is a •limit• on retribution. It says that the magnitude of punishment must not exceed the magnitude of the crime.

amusingly, my very 1st rock show in 1986 included both the monkees (nesmith-less) & herman's hermits (noone-less), though they did not jam a 20-minute i heard you looking > spiders. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc…

⚠️ FAKE NEWS ALERT ⚠️
I'm unreposting and issuing a correction to a viral post going around in which Jeff Bezos is purported to have said:
"Biological limits are real, but digital potential is infinite. If we starve our data infrastructure of cooling resources just to sustain baseline human comfort, we are actively delaying the birth of a super-intelligence that could solve all of our resource problems in the first place."

Sonnet 006 - VI
Then let not winter's ragged hand deface,
In thee thy summer, ere thou be distilled:
Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place
With beauty's treasure ere it be self-killed.
That use is not forbidden usury,
Which happies those that pay the willing loan;
That's for thy self to breed another thee,
Or ten times happier, be it ten for one;
Ten times thy self were happier than thou art,
If ten of thine ten…

Abstract: Purpose In advanced computational MRI techniques, acquisition and reconstruction techniques are jointly designed. For reproducibility, it is therefore important to provide an open implementation of both. At the same time, any use in a clinical environment usually requires a close integration with the MRI scanner. Ensuring long-time reproducibility and maintenance then poses additional challenges. In this work, we aim to provide a fully integrated open-source framework that can meet these demands.
Methods A software framework to develop pulse sequences is added to the BART toolbox. In addition, a vendor-specific driver sequence is developed that can be used to run the sequence on a clinical MRI scanner enabling online adjustment of all relevant sequence parameters. Using the Pulseq format, the exact same sequence can also be reproduced offline. As proof-of-concept, quantitative MRI methods for T1 and joint water/fat R2*, B0 mapping using radial FLASH and model-based reconstruction are implemented in the proposed framework. Consistency between online and offline acquisition is validated in phantom and in vivo experiments.
Results Quantitative MRI methods consisting of acquisition and reconstruction were successfully implemented in BART. Acquisition parameters and FOV can be adapted online on a clinical MRI system. Quantitative parameter maps from model-based reconstruction agree for online and offline regenerated Pulseq acquisitions.
Conclusion This work enables reproducibility of advanced computational MRI methods within a comprehensive end-to-end open-source framework.
