Here's a review of the M5 MacStudio. Looks like it beats the M3 MacStudio even with only 256 GB of RAM. The reviewer is not an ML engineer but he ran some benchmarks. I'm going to wait until end of October when the 512 GB RAM models will be available. Looks good.

Some geeks are getting .si TLDs now from Slovenia, to match their .ai TLDs. Because of superintelligence, of course. 😆

Another reason not to use ChatGPT. ChatGPT Class Action Claims Humans Are Reading Your Chats. Yeah, there's no privacy with that app. Use something else. But people use Google straight from the tap, too, so what the heck, right?

Sometimes, the more techy your appliances are, the more things can go wrong. People that used Samsungs smart refrigerators learned the hard way. All from a firmware update that went south.

Tattoos do increase the risk of lymphoma. I posted about this before, but now it's not just on someone's website, it's in The Lancet. The hazard ratio is not too high, and the risk is not linearly related to duration or surface area of the tattoo. Maybe it's a surrogate marker for something else.

"When tumor is the rumor, tissue is the issue." A young patient was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). You can't excise the tumor. But surgeons did a biopsy, and it contained am mTOR mutation that made it susceptible to everolimus. Don't you love when it call comes together. Secondary mutations are always a concern, but at least there is this victory.

The TSA is going to be able to 3-D scan your carry-ons now. Gonna be a bit harder to hide that contraband.

Stanford violated its AI policy by turning a Hispanic student into a fake Black woman in ad. Stanford's in trouble trying to insert a token minority in an ad, and also making the Asian female look more attractive, and masculinizing the white male in the middle. This is not what AI is for. Shame.

OpenAI hacked Australia's Medicare. Someone needs Mythos. And OpenAI really needs to beef up their security. This is not funny now.

Leonhard Euler's amaneunsis was Nicholas Fuss, and he was brilliant as well. Fuss wrote a mathematics program for Russia and it has never been translated until now. Imagine being able to learn directly from Euler himself, and then writing things down for people to follow. Wow!
