You don’t even need uv_build if you just use uv. uv recognizes if a project specifies uv_build and does the same job.

(If you’re not using uv, you’ve made the wrong choice, but that’s a separate concern.)

Thanks, I hate it.

The camera in particular is exactly why I’ve reverted to using devices without networking capabilities.

It’s worse than that.

Title should be “Private Snapchat DM to 3 people reached the FBI and led to an arrest in an hour.”

The AI assisted police surveillance state is fully operational.

And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.

Surely this was preventable? I am surprised that immunologists and immunosuppressants weren’t part of the protocol here. Injecting trillions of viruses into spinal fluid sounds like a recipe for triggering a cytokine storm.

It’s a tragic outcome, but her death is not in vain. The results need to be published for the public benefit, advancement in this area of research, and preventing similar outcomes.

Epic, just needs dark mode ;)

Also, maybe a way to use sharing via LAN and strip any features that any phone remote services.

This is pretty terrible for offline deployment. An install manager is useless for offline systems.

For folks who don’t want any hassles, there’s WinPython. It’s a portable Python distribution à la Anaconda. The “whl” flavor includes a nice wheelhouse of packages that you can use as a flat index for your venvs.

> Fasting (1 to n weeks) is said to provide potential benefits for certain types of cancer treatments. Pre-cancer, it is said to potentially prevent cancer onset. This is potentially powerful for those of us with a family history with cancer.

It makes sense. Cells need nutrients for the cell cycle, similar to the way computers need RAM to execute programs.

Fasting not only deprives cancer cells of nutrients, but also triggers a homeostatic response in the entire body. This response includes putting its garbage collection system (autophagy) into overdrive mode so that it can reclaim the limited resources it has left to survive. Fasting is a reductive treatment, like purging oxygen from a server room on fire. It might help slow it down, but it can take healthy inhabitants along with it.

Additive treatments offer more options. If you catch the fire early and it’s contained (non-metastatic), you can target it with a fire blanket (surgery, stem cell transplantation) or a fire extinguisher (small molecules, biologics, peptides, gene therapy, etc.) to put it out. The sprinklers are a last ditch effort for larger fires (chemotherapy, radiation), which could save the building, but result in significant collateral damage.

Has anyone had success using 2 agents, with one as the creator and one as an adversarial "reviewer"? Is the output usually better or worse?

Has to be an inside job. One doesn’t just simultaneously hack into an AWS account, know exactly which key is needed for coin minting, and know internal details necessary to exploit a smart contract. The nature of the hack practically reveals their identity.

It’s garbage either way.

On that note, do we have an open standard for OS implementations? Where the fuck is our modern scratch made OS written in Rust?

It’s about time we topple this shitty triopoly.
