The Micro Center in Anaheim has a nice 3D walkthrough of their entire store. Pretty cool. Would be even cooler if you pick up actual items off shelves & drop them into you cart #microcenter #visualization

Agree humanities is more challenging than data science. However, if you can teach a student a workflow for scholarly humanities work then you can probably design a multi-agentic system to do it 90% as well.

'Shock! Shock! I learned yesterday that an open problem I’d been working on for several weeks had just
been solved by Claude Opus 4.6. It seems that I’ll have to revise my opinions about “generative AI” one of these days' ~ Don Knuth cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/paper... #claude #opus #ai #compsci

The Enemies of Reliable and Useful Clinical Prediction Models: A Review of Statistical and Scientific Challenges The current status of applied clinical prediction modeling is poor. Many models are developed with suboptimal methods and are not evaluated, and hence have little impact on clinical care. We review 12...

As a former EIC I can tell you that academic publishing is broken. As an AI researcher I can tell you that agentic AI is accurately automating complete scientific workflows from experiment to paper. This ship has sailed. A new publishing model is needed. #academia #science #research #publishing

so sorry to hear this :(

The AI Backlash Keeps Growing Stronger As generative artificial intelligence tools continue to proliferate, pushback against the technology and its negative impacts grows stronger.

Yes, I see this with Gen Alpha and Gen Z www.wired.com/story/genera... #ai #aislop #genai

Can AI Kill the Venture Capitalist? VCs are betting that artificial intelligence will disrupt nearly every industry in the world. Are they prepared for it to disrupt their own?

This 800XL had an interesting fault. The N,Y,U,6,7 keys were not working suggesting a problem with that column of the keyboard matrix (pin 10). Reflowing the connector did not work. Had to remove the connector & resolder. Also socketed the troubled mT RAM for easy removal later #atari #atari8bit

I can desolder and solder new sockets with no problem. Will take me an hour.

The mT RAM chips are unreliable and fail often. I will remove and replace them all.

Picked up this Atari 130XE at VCF SoCal last month. The seller informed me that it failed the RAM test. Indeed, it does. And it is full of the dreaded mT RAM chip soldered to the board. A fun soldering project for the weekend #atari #atari8bit #atari130xe
