AI isn't going away so the whole of education and learning needs to be rethought about what we need to achieve with students in this new age.

Thanks looks interesting
Hilarious:
The proposed age verification app, which has already been dubbed on social media as “pajaporte” — an amalgam of the Spanish words “paja” (to jerk off or wank) and “pasaporte”.
I wonder if there will be a trading system setup too like carbon credits trading so if you dont need a wank for a day or two you can sell them to someone who needs a few more.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cnk4jdwp49et, seems to be quite a wide impact from this, e.g. Sky News in the UK is off air!
So its not all bad then!

CyberStrike offers a temporary solution for crashed systems
Cyberstike has given users a potential way to fix their systems.
Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment (you can do that by holding down the F8 key before the Windows logo flashes on screen) Navigate to the C:WindowsSystem32driversCrowdstrike directory Locate the file matching “C-00000291.sys” file, right click and rename it to “C-00000291.renamed” Boot the host normally.
fun doing that on thousands of machines

It's possible that a paper from last year from Catherine Loudon (one of the authors of the 2013 paper that this article is based on) might have some answers. From the abstract:
> In this paper, I briefly summarize some of what I have learned over the last 10 years about commercialization from a variety of different sources, related to a bioinspired project in which I am involved.
Perspectives On Bioinspired Product Development: Entrapping Surfaces Based On Leaf Microstructures - https://doi.org/10.1093/icb/icac051
I was wondering the same as OP.
Thanks for your link - here's some more info from it:
The technology/invention uses a microfabricated surface to entrap insect pests, inspired by the action of microstructures on leaves of plants. The first pest to be targeted is bed bugs, because of their commercial importance and proof of concept using this method.
Earlier, we were able to generate synthetic (plastic) materials that exactly matched the natural leaf surface geometry including the sharp microscopic hooks, using a double molding fabrication technique (Szyndler et al. 2013). However, those synthetics did not permanently entrap bed bugs. We have recently had very promising results using a variety of different materials and alternative microfabrication methods. We have been able to generate arrays of microscopic hooks, producing modifications of shapes beyond those found in nature (Fig. 1). This exciting result means that we have a greater ability to vary the material and mechanical properties of these new surfaces, thereby increasing the probability of better performance in entrapment by these synthetic materials. We are currently at the stage of generation of prototypes and evaluation, and characterization of these different microfabricated surfaces.
it took 3 years between the submission of our first patent application and the granting of the patent. Two additional related patents have been granted subsequently.
Apart from that there is no concrete info on when a product might be avaiable.

Am I the only one who had a very positive experience with Booking?
Once I had booked a hotel in Hong Kong for a week, pretty expensive, and I finally couldn't go. But this was in an especially hectic moment (personally and professionally) so I missed the full refund deadline for cancellation. It was obviously my fault, as the deadline had been clear from the beginning, so I just cancelled without refund (or maybe with partial refund, I don't remember) and moved on.
The next day, and without having asked, I got an email from Booking saying that they would negotiate with the hotel to see if they could give me a full refund anyway. A day after that, I got the refund. It was a substantial amount of money so I'm quite grateful to whomever did that at Booking.
On the other hand, I hate their pricing practices, e.g. presumably because I am a relatively frequent customer, the website often offers me worse prices than my wife who almost never used it. Also different prices on mobile and PC, etc.
I had lots of positive experiences with them until one I didnt and they wouldnt do anything to help or refund me for sending me to a smoke filled crack house. Since then I don't use them anymore.
It buries the lede that China is has 35% EV market share growth this year. The idea that EVs are going away is an absolute howler, I'm more inclined to believe that we'll go back to horse-powered transportation. What I do believe is that the US is devolving into a resource cursed nation, and it will eat its young in auto manufacturing to protect its fossil fuel extraction industry.
