Being able to install Gemini Code Assist is a big plus over RStudio.
I was wondering for a while already why Posit had seemingly dropped the ball on AI support in RStudio...

One point I rarely see made:
When you "destroy" an ecosystem, a new one will take its place. The remaining animals and plants will converge on a new balanced state.
The ecosystems we admire today are often that new balance after humans destroyed the natural one.
Often ecosystem quality is measured by diversity, eg number of species. Diverse ecosystems are considered more resilient.
Is this not "entrapment"? I thought this was illegal, like setting up a unsecured bike to catch bike thieves.

> That’s a tiny percentage: about 0.02% of your genome. So no, they don’t have your genome, but they do have a small sample of it.
What kind of reasoning is that? Fine, they're not doing whole genome sequencing on you (yet), but having a detailed chip profile of several million informative SNPs absolutely can and will be used to profile you.
Very quickly and easily I might add.
Classical linkage analysis has been used quite effectively to profile people since the 80s using only a handful of (polymorphic) markers, because the power of the analysis is driven more by the number of related members than by the number of markers of an individual.
23&Me has a customer base of more than 10 million people(!!)
Yes the 0.02% thing is a bit disingenuous because he knows better: the bases the chip covers were specifically picked because they are variable in the human genome. They don't have "your genome", but as most of it is the same for everyone those 640k snps give much more information than 0.02% of the letters of a book would.

Yes it's not lightweight, but I haven't really found any better ssh client for Windows.
I suppose this one is great for someone who has 50000 photos they want to keep!
Can anyone recommend a tool like the old old acdsee? Just browse random folders, display a preview and be able to delete photos?
Because my problem is a photo library where I should probably delete 90% of it. But all those advanced photo managers with functions for pros (or even Apple Photos, which I gave up on) make this particular operation extremely slow.
> Test Type: Idle desktop only (no applications or media playback, unless otherwise stated)
It's weird they didn't also include a simple web browser test that navigates a set of web links and scrolls the window occasionally. Just something very light at least, doesn't even have to be heavy like video playback.
Would it not be a much better test to measure power draw for say 10 min with the seconds on and then off, for 10 cycles or so? Rather than waiting for the battery to run down. I guess it's more difficult for a laptop as your have to measure in between battery and laptop, but it should be easy for a desktop (maybe one with laptop CPU).
This is so in character for Musk and shocking because he's incompetent across so many topics he likes to give his opinion on. Crazy he would nerf the model of his AI company like that.
The linked post comes to the conclusion that Groks behavior is probably not intentional.
What's impressive is that somebody, somewhere keeps collecting a nice stash of Eastern Baltic cod otoliths in hopes that somebody else would come along and invent a new way to use them.
These types of time series are super important, but hard to finance as they often only yield cool papers after decades.
Are there any 'old fashioned' cod in captivity or maybe stored DNA samples? Maybe Collosal could splice the missing genes back in and bring them back into the gene pool.
This is about Eastern Balic cod, so theoretically genes from, for example, Norwegian cod could be spliced in. However body size is usually a polygenic trait with potentially hundreds of genes involved, so that's not possible.
