What’s the current state of PopcorTime / successors?
Arguably higher. For example, fans of Star Wars have scanned the original 1977 theatrical release with very high quality film scanners and created a 4K release complete with film grain and the original scenes intact which is not available through approved channels.
Qubic was able to orchestrate its network of miners to temporarily halt their AI-related tasks and redirect their collective CPU power to mine on the Monero network instead.
Also, Qubic has implemented an economic strategy that involves selling the Monero it mines for a stablecoin like USDT and then using those funds to benefit its own ecosystem and attract more miners, and renting hardware to gain more hash power. The proceeds from the sale of XMR are used to buy Qubic's native token (QUBIC) from exchanges. These purchased tokens are then "burned" or permanently removed from circulation.
Gehman's colleague Melanie Prentice, also with the Hakai Institute and UBC, had begun reviewing the sequencing analysis. Scrolling through data on her laptop, an unmistakable pattern jumped out. Of the hundreds of microorganisms in the samples, enormous quantities of bacteria from the genus Vibrio seemed present in sick stars. The pattern was so strong, Prentice tells me, that she assumed she'd bungled the analysis.

It's tricky to identify the caustive agent from sequencing data. Sometimes it sticks out like a sore thumb. Eg I recently worked on samples from a patient who died, it was very easy to identify the cause because it was in the same at massive quantities (reads).
But usually, it's trawling through a hundred hits across all domains of life deciding is it consensual, contamination, pathogenic or database error. It's usually inconclusive.
Oddly enough, llm bots seem to be quiet good at this task without even fine tuning.
RMarkdown isn't going anywhere! Quarto exists to bring the RMarkdown experience that folks love to a broader set of users and contexts. It is true that we try to keep the .qmd experience in Quarto pretty close to the .rmd experience in RMarkdown, and it is true that Quarto does things that RMarkdown never will. But it's not the case that "RMarkdown is being phased out and replaced with Quarto".
I might be conflating rmarkdown with knitr because the developer of knitr (who was employed on some capacity by Posit) was let go.
For how long do you think Posit will continue to support both platforms?
