loopdoend··on CUNY paid Oracle $600M for its HR software (2013)
I'd love to get a job like this seems amazing. Imagine all the gold plating you'd get to do. All the experiments and optimizations. You'd have the best library website ever.

Imagine the job security.

loopdoend··on Bitcoin puzzle #66 was solved: 6.6 BTC (~$400k) withdrawn

It exists but more as a TCP stream, which is broadcast as packets...

A place for everything and everything in its place...
loopdoend··on Defcon stiffs badge HW vendor, drags FW author offstage during talk
The ninja badges even had games you could play where you fight other users if I recall correctly. (Mid 2000’s?)

Rossiya isn't very different from the western Russia tbh

Maybe the best example would be pronouncing Iran correctly.

Isn’t this the same as the spammy bear attack?
loopdoend··on Doctor-prescribed videogame for ADHD
And let’s be honest they’re just torturing people with no positive outcome. The net effect is you have a poorer, more frustrated patient, who has this stupid game burned into their memories.
loopdoend··on Is Clear Air Turbulence becoming more common?
> Film footage shows Flight 911 taxiing past the still-smoldering wreckage of Flight 402 immediately before taking off for the last time.

Been taking it every day for 15 years with no problems and actually I seem to look 10 years younger than everyone in my age group.
loopdoend··on YaFSDP: a sharded data parallelism framework, faster for pre-training LLMs
Bulgarians are just as smart - it's an EU country and the language is easier to learn than Russian. Здравейте! Many other benefits to hiring Bulgarians also.
loopdoend··on The problem with lying is keeping track of all the lies
I thought I was amongst a group of morally upstanding article-readers but it turns out it was all lies.

loopdoend··on U.S. dairy cows have tested positive for bird flu
Uh... I barely see how this justifies a response but you're calling me out here.

The comment that I was responding to makes it sound like keto acidosis is an inevitable outcome in normal healthy people - "over time", which it certainly isn't. It may be an inevitable outcome in rats.

I'm not going to comment on the preprint because I don't care enough to go over it again. I don't think this invalidates all studies involving mice or rats.

For the record I eat chicken and fish. I'm not trying to start a moral argument.

loopdoend··on U.S. dairy cows have tested positive for bird flu
Dairy is loaded with Neu5Gc...
loopdoend··on U.S. dairy cows have tested positive for bird flu
These are knockout mice where they have changed the CMAH gene to mirror how it is in humans. Of course there is no 1-to-1 correlation, but we can hypothesize about why the dietary change works now that we have an idea of the underlying mechanism.
loopdoend··on U.S. dairy cows have tested positive for bird flu
All beef has Neu5Gc. Most mammalian products do, too, and apparently fish roe also.
