Critics of de-extinction research hit by mystery smear campaign Several researchers who have been critical of Colossal Biosciences’ plans to revive extinct animals say they have been targeted by online articles trying to discredit them

Academics who have questioned the validity of efforts to “de-extinct” animals like the woolly mammoth and the dire wolf have complained of an apparent campaign to discredit them.

Uff, struggled with such annoying errors because of this 😒. But I do have to say that all other aspects are quite nice.

@danmcquillan.bsky.social has shared the text of his talk in which he applies Illich's ideas to the question of the role of the university in a world with now ubiquitous 'AI'. Here's a juicy bit.

what book is this?

Damn that is really smooth 😳 (iPhone 11)

I recently had to upgrade the DB schema of a small project of mine and could not find a tool to do it that didn't have a ridiculous limit of 10 Tables on the Free Tier. But this Project does it astoundingly well: github.com/drawdb-io/dr...

Oh it iiis, I have only tried it for a personal project, as did a friend of mine and for that it seems to work really well, especially paired with hetzner. For actual production use cases I unfortunately cant tell you😅

Okay wait, after doing a quick google search I think you would be able to achieve what you are looking for with an SSO and Authentik. Although it would definelty need some configuration and probably wont work right away. The Coolify Docs are pretty good in my experience tho

Aaah okay, im unfortunately not that knowledgable about coolify, but no I dont think it provides that out of the box. Although it would probably not be hard to implement yourself. (I get that is not what you are looking for)

not sure if its your use case but maybe coolify?

make your own language that you can then hate🤓

I mean, they're kind of right in that financial markets primarily run on vibes, and bets about the vibes, and various complex arcana for making infinity money if the vibes get gooder enough

Trump wants Europe to buy more US farm goods. It can’t. There are insuperable market, phytosanitary and political obstacles — and it could get worse.

Every safety regulation was written in blood, frequently with a body count higher than one, and it’s not political to put the blame on people who want to “move fast and break things” when they start breaking human lives.

ynicism is first of all a style of presenting oneself, and it takes pride more than anything in not being fooled and not being foolish. But in the forms in which I encounter it, cynicism is frequently both these things. That the attitude that prides itself on world-weary experience is often so naïve says much about the triumph of style over substance, attitude over analysis. Maybe it also says something about the tendency to oversimplify. If simplification means reducing things to their essentials, oversimplification tosses aside the essential as well. It is a relentless pursuit of certainty and clarity in a world that generally offers neither, a desire to shove nuances and complexities into clear-cut binaries. Naïve cynicism concerns me because it flattens out the past and the future, and because it reduces the motivation to participate in public life, public discourse, and even intelligent conversation that distinguishes shades of gray, ambiguities and ambivalences, uncertainties, unknowns, and opportunities. Instead, we conduct our conversations like wars, and the heavy artillery of grim confidence is the weapon many reach for.

I'm exhausted by all the people out there who are trying to prove they're each the most cynical world-weary disillusioned person who's not gonna ever do a fucking thing ever except dump on everything and expect to be admired for that. Wrote about that in 2016:
