I have no interest in EM. I joined an anime themed Mastodon instance and left two months later as all I could read was EM hatred. I wasn't interested in EM to begin with! FTR the old Twitter was as bad as the new X for those who straye

Also the most recent version is compromised (8.3.42). 8.3.40 is safe.

I don't get the fad with circos plots. At least in genomics, they offer a high density of information but unfortunately at the price of hard if not impossible interpretation. Like the systems biology papers of old, showing beautiful de

Because it wasn't just the lockdown: it was a pretty complex affair at the job too (including very tense moments; it would've been bad even in the office, mind you) and there was no way to shut that away from me. FTR, I did WFH in

Then there are the computational biologists, such as myself. Many have a CS background but some (raises hand) actually come from biology itself (I was a wet lab scientist for a number of years). At this point I'm thinking I got the wor

I never had anything against WFH and actually did it for three years straight between 2008 and 2011. I actually think that anyone has different preference wrt in the office versus WFH. I commute every day and I take 1h and 15 min one way du

Perhaps OT but I see often these comments on HN. How do these devices (I don't own one) lose functionality over time? Features removed through updates?

I got lectured by Bard when I asked about help to improve the description of an action scene, which involves people getting hurt (at least the losing side) even if marginally. I suppose you can still jailbreak ChatGPT? I didn't know it

While I currently use SD.Next[1], I have tested ComfyUI locally with my AMD card. The UI can be daunting, but you learn quite a great deal about how a Stable Diffusion pipeline works. In addition some innovations and advances find their way

It is my impression that checks and balances, constitutions etc need to work exactly in times of crisis. If they only work when everything is all right, they are useless. Especially when it comes to freedom. The fact that a government min

While I won't ever call myself an artist, there are people who do not just click and get an image. My workflow involves getting the right prompt out, then manual touch up of the images (sometimes drastically so) using Krita and a Wacom

Which is kind of funny in a way. I am no artist but I'm using Krita with a smallish Wacom tablet to manually refine illustrations generated by Stable Diffusion. But again, some of the Krita team have had strong ideological positions on

It's a bit more complicated than this (disclaimer: I followed the trials and vaccinated earlier than most). The current wave of anti SARS-CoV-2 vaccines skepticism has multiple facets and is also country dependent. First, the risk prof

To be fair, some scientists made fools of themselves and their (and mine!) profession when speaking to the media. And most of the time journalists treated them as infallible priests handing down absolute truths (like when someone mistook
