Kicked off #MARCHintosh by upgrading this Macintosh LCIII from 12MB to a full 36MB RAM with a new 32MB SIMM card. An easy board swap #mac #macintosh #retrocomputing

Ohh.... #biology #lego

Yes, I can confirm it has been unusually warm & summerlike here in Los Angeles. Fortunately, we have had a good amount of rain too #climate #losangeles

Happy #MARCHintosh!

Enthusiast runs desktop PC off 56 AA batteries — Intel computer lasts less than 5 minutes while playing Minesweeper Imagine carrying a ton of AA batteries just to complete 30 minutes of office tasks on your PC.

This reminds me of the Atari Stacy laptop that uses 12 C batteries www.tomshardware.com/desktops/ent... #atari #pc

I was at an AI workshop with about 30 computer scientists a few years ago where the timeline for AGI was discussed at a backyard meetup over beers. We all made our predictions. One person predicted we will destroy ourselves militarily with #AI long before #AGI arrives. Seems like a likely scenario.

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets The US Congress rejected sweeping cuts to science agencies. But the NIH, the NSF and NASA have had their spending slowed.

Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.

The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇

What does it mean to be an academic in a world driven by AI tech companies? It means that it is our responsibility ask the tough questions. To peel back the layers to get at the truth & dispel hype. To insist on honesty & transparency. To keep ethics front & center #academia #artificialintelligence

I love seeing #gwas folks come around to AI after years & years of bashing it. They could have been part of the solution...

What's the best way to change research fields? These three scientists have ideas Planning to switch fields? Be bold, know your limits and choose your institution wisely, say three UK research leaders.

I served on a panel with a tech recruiter recently who predicted that AI will allow people to change careers multiple time over a lifetime. I agree www.nature.com/articles/d41... #career #jobs

I buy these Arzopa 16" LED screens for use with my retro computers. You find them on sale from Amazon for about $60. Fits perfectly on top of my Apple IIe. The composite video is converted to HDMI using a RetroTINK #apple2 #retrocomputing #retrotink #appleII
