I knew an old apple tree something like that. The rotten cut limb was a few feet higher though. The thing looked bad, with a gaping hole, but somehow it just kept going. Mostly it didn't produce hardly any apples, but every 4 or 5 years or so for some reason it would be loaded with big decent enough cooking apples. It was always covered in ants. It was a great tree for climbing too, despite the ants.andnl caterpillars. Hard to imagine anything killing that tree, even if it was mostly useless and a bit on the ugly side, and looked like it might die every year. Eventually the property was sold to some rich people. They blasted away the outcropping of granite close by, and razed the old house, cleared a bunch more of the land to make room for a monstrous "cottage" just where that big old apple tree always had been. So it goes.

Anyhow don't listen to me. Take the advice of the arborist and plant some new trees, and let that one go when the time is right if it doesn't leave you first. But also don't underestimate a tree's ability sometimes to deal with crazy circumstances and keep going perhaps longer than they should have.

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.

A few examples:

But also it's kind of awesome.

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...
