It's fascinating that we largely went from a network of personal computers processing data locally that could access an open hypertext system linking together millions of websites…
…to phones with proprietary closed apps that often largely are little more than little windows to timesharing mainframes.

Cars and RVs surged into Yosemite national park throughout the weekend,
as visitors from around the world came to enjoy the crisp autumn weather,
undeterred by a lack of park services and the absence of rangers.
National parks have largely been kept open through the lapse in US federal funding that has left workers furloughed and resources for the parks system more scarce than usual.
But as the US government shutdown enters its third week and legislators warn that the…

I wrote this this morning:
"Tomorrow, about 2,600 protests plan to peacefully show the world, the administration and themselves that the United States remains a nation predicated on having No Kings.
Can the president come down hard on these protests with the military?"

No Surrender
No Soldiers in the Streets, No Kings in This Land For all the military violence there has been in the world during my life, my tactic for surviving it has taken me next to no effort: not being there at the time. By largely luck, I have not yet been

Journalists exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules
Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power. The refusal was near-unanimous, from trade publications, wire services, television networks and newspapers, and included outlets that appeal largely to conservatives like Fox News Channel and Newsmax. Many of the reporters chose to turn in their badges together at the 4 p.m. deadline set by the Defense Departm…

@… Understandable, I just don’t agree :)
Of course I would RATHER the third option you (presumably purposely) didn’t include: Good food without the work.
But if I have to pick, I’m putting in the work (I already cook at home 5-7 nights a week, the kitchen is largely my domain in this house).

MedicalOS: An LLM Agent based Operating System for Digital Healthcare
Decades' advances in digital health technologies, such as electronic health records, have largely streamlined routine clinical processes. Yet, most these systems are still hard to learn and use: Clinicians often face the burden of managing multiple tools, repeating manual actions for each patient, navigating complicated UI trees to locate functions, and spending significant time on administration instead of caring for patients. The recent rise of large language model (LLM) based agents demonstr…
