working in tech right now feels like every single person you had any sort of professional relationship with undergoing the worst and most self-destructive manic episodes of their lives all simultaneously, and actively disparaging you for not submitting yourself to their madness

"AI could prove to be one of the biggest enablers of 'sociopaths’, codifying and regurgitating their business speak and biases. My fear is that it also could squeeze out genuine innovation and creativity, making it more difficult for those who want to make a difference to gain a foothold. What we are witnessing in the creative industries (literature, music, film) is not encouraging, with #AI recycling, hybridising and regurgitating rather than creating." —Richard Martin

It's going to take me a while to sort through all of my photos of the #SailBoston parade of ships, but for now, here's a shot of Pride of Baltimore that is more or less the sort of thing I was shooting for all day, as well as a shot I got of the Red Arrows flyover

Supra-supramaximal inspiration! An exercise that is 100% effective in treating hiccups for everyone who is able to do it (according to the one study we have):

> First, exhale completely, then inhale a deep breath. Wait 10 seconds, then—without exhaling—inhale a little more. Wait another five seconds, then top up the breath again. Finally, exhale. Generally, you will find that your singultus is gone.

Works for me and my partner. Imagine if science had funding.

"Gold's Hidden Atomic Defense

"People have generally thought gold doesn't tarnish simply because it doesn't interact strongly with oxygen," said Matthew Montemore, associate professor in Chemical Engineering in Tulane's School of Science and Engineering. "What we show is that for two of the most common gold surface types, the surface atoms actually rearrange themselves in a way that makes the gold much more resistant to oxidation."

To investigate the process, Montemore and co-author Santu Biswas, a postdoctoral fellow in Tulane's Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, used computer simulations to model how atoms and electrons behave. They examined how oxygen molecules interact with two common types of gold surfaces.

The simulations revealed that if the surface atoms did not rearrange themselves, oxygen molecules could split apart much more easily and react with the gold. Instead, the atomic restructuring dramatically limits those reactions.

According to the researchers, these reorganized surfaces reduce oxygen reactions by a factor of a billion to a trillion. In effect, they create an atomic scale protective barrier that allows gold to remain shiny almost indefinitely."

This might be one of the oddest tiny planets I've captured. Taken by sticking the camera over the outer wall of Stirling Castle, at the point where there is a LONG drop down the castle crag cliff to the land below. The top half is within the castle grounds (garden at the back of the chapel and the end of the museum building), the bottom half is the surrounding lush lowland.

Silly concept: Winnie-the-Pooh themed oscilloscope that works just like a normal one except the trigger is called a Tigger

Is it possible to buy an Intel XHCI controller as a PCIe expansion card, or are they only available in the southbridge/chipset?

A7. For dresses it's handy to keep a hair tie on you, and something that you can wrap the dress around. Bunch up the dress around your item, like a coin or a marble or something, and use your hair tie to keep the dress in place by putting it over the wrapped object. That will keep the tie from sliding off. Some dresses you can just tie up in a knot, but this works for basically any dress

Voila, dress kept out of your chain 🚲✨

Q7. How do you ride, while wearing long dresses or flowy trousers, on a cycle that has no chain guard? When one needs to dress presentably for work?

ok this is so cool. this LED manufacturer designed maybe the coolest demo brochure possible for their COB LEDs, its a ringed binder where each of the pages is a PCB that you plug in and can control via touch to toggle which strips are on :o
