The short International Science Council post says:

As conflict escalates in the region, the Swedish-Iranian disaster medicine scholar remains wrongfully imprisoned and sentenced to death.

April 2026 marks ten years since Dr Ahmadreza Djalali’s arrest in Tehran by Iranian authorities. He has been denied due process and access to medical care, and has endured extreme treatment, isolation, and repeated threats of imminent execution. Dr Djalali’s case is one of the most urgent unresolved instances of Iran’s wrongful imprisonment and politically motivated hostage-taking of Western-linked academics.

Just about any song by Jesse Welles these days...

A few examples:

Writing was on the wall for dancers when Fortnite took thier moves. This is just the last nail in the coffin. It's official : human dancers are obsolete (except childten if in service of making robots cuter and less threatening).

There was a massive spike that fairly quickly settled down. I don't know where these people went. But things have been fairly stable post volume with but some slow new user decline over the last 6-8 months.

I used to use earlyoom on an old laptop and it worked well for my purposes.

I hear there is a systemd-oomd, but I never tried it.

Edit: sorry I misread your post to be about memory rather than CPU. Too early on the morning for my brain to work.

FoR those asking about sample and confounders....

"The study involved 105,614 women in California with an average age of 53 at the start of the study"

"The study had limitations – it looked only at women, and participants reported their own diet data – but independent experts suggested the findings were significant."

I like both instances.

Notice the quote says "build on the ATProtocol", not "build on BlueSky". It could be argued that the more this is done the less defacto power BlueSky will have. And people are doing it. Some examples are listed in the Wikipedia article, but there are more.

Doesn't have to be intelligent, just has to perform the behaviours like a philosophical zombie. Thoughtlessly weighing patterns in training data...

If matters/believed...

Ashton's team said that he was on the road and he had asked helpers and volunteers to "draft answers" for him to review.

"It looks like some answers were posted without me reviewing and approving," the post said.

...

"A key part of leadership is accountability, and I want to reassure everyone that this won't happen again," the post said.

It's an interesting approach. While plastic is (mostly) not directly toxic to us, the argument that it is toxic to the environment seems scientifically sound. The classification allows for more regulation and pressure on an industry which have proven (as usual) extremely ineffective at regulating themselves, to the cost of all of us. And when you think about plastic as a direct product of the petroleum industry things just worse.

Looking at the CEPA web site it currently only lists "micro plastic beads". But I got a government link or the order. It reads "Plastic manufactured items" and goes into great detail on the rational and background.

Coincidentally I saw another story today:Twenty firms produce 55% of world’s plastic waste, report reveals.
