โจThe Athleteโจ
Depictions of elite athletes were a mainstay of ancient Greek sculpture and the form was also highly prized by the Romans.
This portrait of an athlete scraping oil from his back is thought to reflect the style of the C4th BCE Greek sculptor Lysippos, though this piece itself dates from the late first century CE.

Visiting Abbey Road Studios, we couldn't help but noticing some witty Germans had made their mark. "RuhrgeBeatles" was stencilled here and there. Independent of nationality, people were quietly milling around and on the iconic crossing. Some families came dolled up in identical clothing. Well. Why not.

We all knew it was inevitable, but I'm still sad to read that @Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox is adding AI to their email client.
I've been having issues with thunderbird lately, where it would time out sending mail even though evolution and kmail work fine. I was going to engage with their bug tracker to see if it could be resolved, but now I'm not going to bother. I'm also stopping my donations to the project.
They claim it will be 'opt in', but we all know what that means: constant banners and nagging popups begging you to please try their phenomenal AI features. No thanks, I'm getting out.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
I've been test-driving #Evolution and #KMail. Out of the two, Evolution speaks the most to me, so I think that's going to be my email client starting today.
Too bad neither Evolution nor KMail support usenet. I'll have to look for something else for that.

I'm still fascinated by this discussion:
1 - the variable you (we) want to control is CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. I have read no consensus on it (300 ppm? 400?...๐คท)
this should be your (our) target: in fact you're acting on CO2 balance
2 - when you reach +1.5 ยฐC 20 years before expected, it's not because we emitted so much. it's because some prediction was wrong. just wrong.
if you (we) have based our policies on wrong prediction, it's a problem. who's accountable?

Today in debugging: I just tracked down a Wine/Proton bug that randomly breaks any Unity app/game that uses (managed) threads.
Brought to you by "reverse engineering" the Unity Mono dll to match it up with the public bdwgc source code, and then patching the symbols back in with objcopy --add-symbol, to get proper stack traces and watchpoints to work in MinGW gdb.exe ^^;;
Also had to patch the dll to enable GC debug logs and warnings (which are hardcoded off in the build...)

[โฆ] Itโs the responsibility of academia to take a stronger stance on this, and introduce real penalties for researchers caught with slop. Because after all, if academic integrity isnโt grounded in actual integrity, with firm guidelines, which puts qualitative research first and foremost, focusing on the value of the scientific endeavor itself, and not sheer volume of publications, or monetary incentives like research grants, we stand to lose a great pillar of civilization itself to worthless slop and cause damage that we may never mend.

[โฆ] [Rather,] we contend that slower science is better science and that, in fact, we canโt meaningfully do science at all unless scientists can work in community with each other and have the time and mental space to engage with each otherโs ideas.
[โฆ] Regardless of why they are produced, synthetic or partially synthetic scientific papers damage the scholarly information ecosystem, mixing unreliable texts that no one can really vouch for in among those that, in theory, other scholars could be learning from and building on.โ
