An older adult with underlying health conditions is believed to be the first person to die from a rare strain of bird flu,
but Washington state health officials said on Friday the risk to the public is low.
The person – from Grays Harbor county, about 78 miles (125km) south-west of Seattle – had a backyard flock of domestic poultry that had been exposed to wild birds.
The person was treated for the H5N5 bird flu strain after becoming seemingly the first known human infected…

Am I the only person that feels that the Alien Earth xenomorphs break their suspension of disbelief while watching this series?
I say this because almost every shot featuring this alien in its adult form looks like a person in a xenomorph rubber suit walking on all fours. It's distracting, and disappointing given the state of the art of visual effects in science fiction.

Burning 1000 tonnes of fossil carbon, or emitting 4000 tonnes of CO2, causes the premature death of a future person from effects of anthropogenic global warming.
It follows that for every hour that you fly, you typically steal from a future person:

- 2 days in business class
- 4 days in first class

One might wonder if Denmark/Greenlend might refuse to allow this person to enter Greenland.
If someone who was a government official from Sudan with a professed mission to annex Texas tried to enter the US then I would expect that that person would be stopped at the entry kiosk and sent back.

I struggle to process the fact that Todd Blanche gave my husband his very first job offer in law.
(Yes, THAT Todd Blanche from the DoJ, deputy attorney general, the one who has been in the news for all kinds of terrible things he’s up to)
I went to a party with that guy 3 years ago! And now he’s doing increasingly cartoonish villain things every other week.
He seemed normal. Fun, actually.
And then months after he went to defend Trump as his personal lawyer and since then we’ve continued to be confused and disturbed.
We haven’t had any contact with him after he went to work for Trump, of course. But I can’t stop wondering how the fuck the person my husband worked with is the same person defending pedophiles. (Allegedly)

Babbitt , by Sinclair Lewis, is a satirical novel about American culture and society that critiques the vacuity of middle class life & the social pressure toward conformity. The controversy provoked by Babbitt was influential in the decision to award the Nobel Prize in Literature to Lewis in 1930.

I was in a meeting this week where it was stated the management belief is anyone complaining about the low quality of agentic AI responses is because that person is bad at prompting, and they should've spent more time using AI sooner.
Their example was a puzzle (how many trials to find irregular ball of 20, when 19 are same weight). Sure, AI can solve puzzles that lots of people have written about. What about fix a bug in our proprietary, 5,000-line program?

German has a unique problem: the default noun for any job is male. Every effort to include the female or neutral form is fought tooth and nail by conservative parties. So when a mayor was forced to remove the mention of both genders in the statute for firefighters.... he kept just the female form of every job title 😈

Although 'The Beast in Me' looks like a proper piece of TV, it is being held back by Clare Danes. Is it possible to recast her as a relatively happy person, with a curious and inquisitive mindset?
A pity she accepted this role; such an excellent actress.10 minutes into episode 2 and I've parked it on the NAS. Let's see if I get to it again. Have my sincere doubts.
One thing I learned from our female IT-specialists is how offensive the term "man days" is.
Recently there was a discussion (all men) about efforts and "man days". I just said "It's Person Days - there are quite a couple of women in the team as well."
Short silence, bit surprised looks.

High-dimensional data has this property: it is extremely unlikely that there will be a data point situated at the exact center.
It’s the high dimensionality that’s important here. One person might be at some sort of average on •one• dimension, but for them to be at the average on •all• dimensions grows exponentially less likely as the number of dimensions increases.
It’s like trying to roll all threes with a set of dice. Odds of that with one die? 1 in 6. Odds with two dice? 1 in 36. Odds with 10 dice? 1 in ~60 million.
