So another victim of the Glass Cliff then?

Not too serious a suggestion, but if migration worked once to escape the PRC why not do it again. Move all your industries offshore to an enclave or possibly several in friendly neighboring countries and then your population. I mean the population isnt so large that it’s not technically impossible to relocate. it’s not much more than some of the largest world cities. Then when invaded withdraw entirely. Anyone happy to live under Chinese rule can stay. Given climate change humanity is probably going to have to get used to massive migrations anyway. Horrible as that could be culturally being a semi independent part of another democracy would fix their declining population, plus being a massive economic stimulus all round. I suspect something like this may be happening informally anyway. Their main strength is economic and organizational so why not build on that.

Any surface with an Intel CPU generally.

Its great for yearly performance review questions. I just feed in keywords and it generates a relentless tide of goals, metrics and progress reports which no one actually reads. Lovely. For anything technical nope. I save much more time just working problems myself. At least I learn from my mistakes.

Seems to have been deleted already

Sounds targeted at assignments in biology and in particular Evolution. If they still mention that in the classroom.

Never mind reputation damage. in the US what if it had trigged a swatting incident or alerted ICE that they were someone hiding illegals in their home. Will we get to the point where providing any real identity or contact information on the Internet is a mistake.

LLMs perform poorly when assisting humans with medical diagnostic, study blames human participants for not working with them.

Palawan in the Philippines is excellent for very remote tropical beaches but also it’s culture.

They did repay him however, he gets his own prophecy in Isaiah 44:28 saying how he’s definitely God’s special boy. Not too many can claim that

Lots of nice second hand xeon workstations going cheap. Given the cost of memory they are often a bargain. The only catch with the Dells for example is the lame but also proprietary power supplies.

The furry paw of diplomacy. Now the nerd in me wants to see a graph of the Panda Index as a measure of Chinese opinion about other countries It’s the cuddly side of a relationship in contrast to darker clouds on the horizon.

Tarsiers are strange, with large brown eyes and fragile and only found in a few remaining wild locations. Also they are distant relatives on the same tree as humans genetically and the other dry nosed primates. So I think worth the trip to see some if you are already in South east Asia. I visited the Tarsier Sanctuary on Bohol in the Philippines a few years ago. The founder used to catch them for pets or zoos as a young man but has now devoted his life to saving them.

Manor Lords. As a game, pretty much ticks all the things mentioned in the article.

Not a disease as such but a condition. Sepsis aka blood poisoning, is a significant one for older folk. A fast heartbeat with low blood pressure, rash etc. It can be rapidly deadly but is not so easy to identify. About Sepsis warning signs

Treatment early enough definitely saves lives so it’s worth knowing about

The possum sequence is awesome, well worth reading the whole thing.

Not adding the Sun in the position of the primary light source till the 4th iteration was a major clue.

Trying to install remote desktop multiuser in server manager, for win2025 the installer fails. I find out that a security update broke it over a year ago. Uninstalled all updates then rebooted and it works. Not to mention the constant wack a mole admins do to disable unwanted marketing additions to the taskbar and start menu via group policy and registry hacks. Clearly what windows needs next is an AI powered going dark mode to randomly break features it thinks you don’t need. Because even that would be less confusing than what we have now.

Community edition would have made sense if there was a official commercial version that supported things like group policy etc. But features like that are already in the open source release, there’s very little that a corporate version could add. It even does sharepoint via webdav.

Lots of doctors still depend on “faxes” even though that tech has been dead for a long while and is now just sending PDFs using a very old protocol. Word will die the day highschools and unis stop requiring docx files. Which given education institutions tech will be a very long time.
