Non-linear associations of amyloid-$β$ with resting-state functional networks and their cognitive relevance in a large community-based cohort of cognitively normal older adults
Background: Non-linear alterations in brain network connectivity may represent early neural signatures of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology in cognitively normal older adults. Understanding these changes and their cognitive relevance could provide sensitive biomarkers for early detection. Most prior studies recruited participants from memory clinics, often with subjective memory concerns, limiting generalizability. Methods: We examined 14 large-scale functional brain networks in 968 cognitiv…

Generative AI is coming for IP and patent law, as Solve Intelligence raises its Series B
It looks like a swathe of older legal tech platforms are about to be hit by Generative AI startups. But are VCs using 'king-making' tactics to back the winners?

Sometimes hacking a computer means a whole different thing...
In this use, I'm actually hacking (with a hacksaw) the case apart to add an I/O shield (custom made) so I can fit an older motherboard that was not designed for this case.
And thank you to Gateway for making me do this by not using a removable shield and instead stamping every hole they needed and covering them with a sticker if they weren't on this model. 🤦‍♂️

Four-year testing finds heat pumps run efficiently even in older homes
Researchers at Fraunhofer ISE have tested various types of heat pumps in existing buildings across Germany over four years, finding that the systems achieved seasonal performance factors between 2.6 and 5.4. The team also showed that PV-driven heat pumps can boost self-consumption rates, particularly when paired with battery storage.
