Content warning: Middle Management Kayfabe Theory 1/2

A name I just came up with
The org-chart version of Dead Internet Theory.
Most middle managers… don't really know what's going on "on the ground". They were once a jr mgr who didn't quite get it, so they're pretty sure that the other sr mgrs don't know what's going on either.
& they're pretty sure that *their* managers, the VPs & C-levels, are also doing their own kayfabe
& nobody is willing to name it, bc this nak…

Long-term stability of cellular-resolution brain-computer interface recordings after stroke #BCI

Long-term stability of cellular-resolution brain-computer interface recordings after stroke
Implantable brain-computer interfaces (iBCIs) with single-neuron resolution are showing great promise for restoring mobility and communication in individuals with spinal cord injury or motor neuron disease. Stroke is the most common cause of acquired brain injury and a major contributor to long-term disability, making chronic stroke a highly relevant indication for iBCIs. However, whether stable intracortical recordings can be obtained from the structurally lesioned human brain is unknown. We r…

Кумедно.
Я думав, катари-"ножиці" це чисто вигадка Блізів. А зараз читаю — виявляється, що ні. Менш розповсюджений варіант, але реальний. Тільки вони "розкривалися" не перед ударом, а після. Як експансивна куля.
Національна зброя менш попсових культур здатна принести цікавий вайб у геймдизайн. Особливо якщо втілюється не поверхнево.

A digital illustration of an assassin from Diablo 2 in dark armor, posing dynamically against a black background. She has dark tanned skin and dark hair, wearing ornate dark-colored armor with gold trim on the chest, legs, and boots. She is holding two katar blades, surrounded by bright blue energy and lightning effects, outstretched to the top right in a challenging pose. Additional sheathed weapons are attached to a belt around the waist. The character's midriff is visible between the upper a…
A split-view image against a black background shows two different ornamental metal objects. On the left, a single Indian dagger called "Katar" features a pointed steel blade and an ornate gold handle composed of several horizontal bars. The handle includes patterned golden sections that connect to the top of the blade. On the right, three pointed steel blades emerge from a wide, decorative base. This base is covered in intricate, gold-colored patterns.

This incite in to what my ubuntu system is doing that would have taken hours of time to research if I ever could have learned it at all had I not used an LLM. I'll continue to caveat that LLMs have many many things about them that are bad on multiple levels.
Using LLMs to fix system problems is doing something I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.

Summary of the whole investigation: - The "crash" was a systemd-oomd/earlyoom OOM cascade, not a kernel panic or hardware fault — the shutdown itself was clean. - Root driver: Firefox (running unrestarted for 5+ days) ballooned to ~17 GB RAM; likely contributors are the long session plus extensions that run continuous scripts on video pages (AutoTwitchPoints, enhanced-h264ify) — worth watching if it recurs. - Fixed: removed the redundant earlyoom daemon, and added an early soft memory cap so th…

Content warning: UKPol Burnham Made Labour Leader

Burnham has been made leader of the Labour party then. No other candidates got the required number of nominations so it's a coronation.
He has a few things to say.
He's proud. The party is united, he says, and now they'll put that power of unity to give people hope back. And he is ready to build on Kier's foundation. Thanks Kier, for all the NHS work and renters rights and rebuilding the nation's reputation (??).
He does like to name-check all the various towns and unions of the country. Just listing them. They made Labour, apparently.
We must recognize that this generation of politicians, including Burnham himself, have failed. Four decades of neoliberalism have not been kind to all those places he listed.
He pledges to be better, and will do five things.
1) Work relentlessly to build a culture of one Labour team. No infighting. Wants to eradicate the split. End factional politics.
I guess end Starmer's war on the left then? 🤨
2) Work to build a new politics. This is the last chance for change, and we must take it together. Tell people what Labour will do, not just pick fights with other parties. Seek consensus with those other parties instead, to improve the political discourse.
3) Change political direction: know exactly where he stands and set a direction that is distinctively Labour. No out-greening greens or out-reforming reform or wearing tory clothes. Boldly confidently authentically Labour.
Housing, water, energy, transport, all broken due to privatization and concentration of wealth and power.
Four decades of political power draining from regions to corporations and central government ends now.
Take back the slogan "take back control" from the right, who gave away power to corps and quangos.
Life should be more affordable.
4) Be a leader for the north, south, east and west, for Scotland and Northern Ireland (aw, shame for the midlanders 🤣 ).
Gonna do to everywhere what he done for Manchester he reckons.
Kids shouldn't have to leave their home towns to prosper.
5) Take power back from westminster and give it to the place where you live.
More power for regions, to run trains for passengers not shareholders. Improve high-streets, and back shops and pubs, and education, and reindustrialization.
He's gonna be pro-business.
Add all that together and he reckons we'll bring back hope.
Thanks a few people in particular.
He says he knows what he believes and what he wants to do, he has a plan. He wants change, to be close to the people.
He wants it to be Andy 4 us. Labour 4 us. Bring back hope.

The Rosetta Stone remains a point of contention between Egypt and Britain more than two centuries since its discovery.
This week marks 227 years since the ancient artefact was found near the Egyptian city of Rashid by French forces during Napoleon Bonaparte’s campaign in the country.
It was taken by Britain after the French surrendered in 1801 and has been displayed at the British Museum in London since 1802.
An online campaign for its return is being led by former antiquiti…

What is the Rosetta Stone and why does Egypt want it back?

Audiovisual stimulation using wearable shutter glasses robustly evokes 40 Hz neuronal activity but does not modulate associative memory
Audiovisual stimulation is a promising approach for studying and modulating human neuronal gamma (>30 Hz) oscillations and associated memory processes. Portable setups can increase ecological validity and therapeutic potential, but options remain limited. See-through shutter glasses are a new mobile technology that adds a visual flicker effect to what the user naturally sees. Here, we validated this method in a multisensory, cognitively relevant setting. We leveraged a previous experimental des…
