My site, SFMemory, currently has over 9000 Historical images of San Francisco, the East Bay, and Northern California. I've done a lot, but I can always use help. Currently 245 images have the words "Unknown Location" I couldn't find them but maybe you can! #sfhistory https://sfmemory.org/search/index.php?q="unknown+location"&_ds=1&bn=0&bs=250&so0=contains&so1=contains&sk=5&desc=0

"A 2023 study found that a single Chat GPT-3 request processed at an Arizona data center uses about 30 milliliters of water, compared to 12 ml per request in Wyoming. That doesn’t seem like much (it’s less than a shot-glass) until you consider that there are at least 1 billion ChatGPT queries worldwide per day and growing, using a total of some 8 million gallons of water daily, worldwide."

here's another bit of evidence that this program was written in assembly:

it basically never uses function parameters. The couple times it does, it's using reserved registers like SI/DI.

I’m looking for remote opportunities — I’m open to both short to medium term contracts, long-term employment, etc. I’m in Brazil. Unfortunately, Outreachy’s financial situation hasn’t changed and we’ll have to cut or reduce some of our core program activities.

I’m the lead program manager, and under my tenure we fostered 700+ successful internships in free software, critical infrastructure and open science. I’d love to keep working with FOSS. https://notapplicable.dev/hire-me/

Absolutely. The book referenced in the article is "Brain on Fire," by Susanna Cahalan (2012). Worth tracking down/requesting at the library. Autoimmune issues (esp. viruses) are back in the news as a result of COVID/long COVID (NYT: Apoorva Mandavilli: "How Viral Infections Cause Long-Term Health Problems; 22 Nov. 2023).

Obliquely related, is Nicole Rust's very good book," Elusive Cures: Why neuroscience hasn't solved brain disorders — and how we can change that" ...1/2

Someone was kind enough to visit the Multnomah County courthouse and found some records related to @anniegreens, so we now know that she passed away on January 7. Not having a date before was unsettling (to me, at least). I’ve updated the page that I made to include the date.

@lerxst yes. The Chinese ophthalmologist who alerted the world (inadvertently) was jailed and died (probably of COVID) not long after. Le Wenliang. Fuckin’ unintentional hero.

*Edit* — Wikipedia says he was “admonished” by the cops, but died in hospital quarantine. Whatever. Dude blew the whistle and got picked up by the constabulary, silenced, and then fucking died of the disease.
