There are about 10 billion tons of bacteria floating around in the ocean. That's about 10³⁰ bacteria — a nonillion. They're called 'bacterioplankton'. But about 40% of these bacteria are infected by viruses!

Viruses are an enormous source of new genetic information. In the old days, many molecular biologists thought that viral genes come ultimately from genes in cells. But this is not supported by the data. Most genes in viruses can't be traced to cellular ancestors! It seems that the transfer of virus genes to cells is more common than the reverse process.

Thus, ecologists are becoming ever more convinced of the importance of viruses. Some are pushing to call a virus-infected cell a 'virocell'. They argue this is the living form of the virus, while virus particles outside of cells are the equivalent of seeds or spores. Viral infection transform an ordinary cell into a virocell, whose function is no longer to produce cells but to produce more viruses.

It’s closing in on 10 years since I bought my first @b0rkJulia Evans ‘zine.

I’ve learned so much from her work, but also from how Julia learns. And I’ve purchased many of these for my teams at work, which has paid dividends forward.

Anyway, you should totally buy multiple of these ‘zines because they’re untouchably great!

Edit: nobody was gonna tell me I misspelled like 3 words? 😂

Man, Koodo customer support is the worst. You can't phone them to get to a representative anymore, you have to go through their chatbot. But their chatbot is broken - the button to set up a call with a rep breaks with a CORS error (?!) when it tries to make a call to a non-allowlisted domain. So just can’t... talk to a customer representative at all right now. There's literally no way to do it.

uspol

people in the us have been screaming about how the ussr was bad because of secret police and the planned economy, but it is 2025 and the us has a secret police and planned economy (by VCs, who are gullible idiots that brought us such gems as "the metaverse" and "feed the world into LLMs") and i think i'd rather be in the actual literal ussr

사실 난 데이터를 직접 좀 볼 기회가 있었는데 생각보다 대단히 안전하게 되어있긴함 일론과 테슬라가 아주 제대로 이미지 망쳐놔서 사람들이 자율주행에 대해서 회의감을 품게 만든것이 여러모로 문제인듯... 차가 조금이라도 문제가 있을것이 같다 싶으면 바로 안전하게 정지할수 있도록 백업루틴 같은것이 돌아가는것 같은데 문제는 딥러닝 모델에서 시작함 왜 언제 무슨 이유로 정확히 멈추는지 재발 방지가 된것인지 알기가 어려운것 ㅋㅋㅋ ㅎㅎ 웨이모가 그래서 아주 신기한 케이스임 근데 저정도 해내는것이 현재로선 다른 회사 입장에선 어려운것 같음

지금 내가 다니는 블랙회사도 매출이 자동차에서 엄청나고 있고 그래서 자율주행도 거의 올인하다시피하는것 같은데 외부에는 잘 안알려짐 지금 회사 연구원 몇십퍼센트가 다 여기에 엮여있던데... 근데 내가 알기론 고객이 아직까지 없는것 같고 타 자동차회사 임원들이 와서 여러번 시승해봤지만 아마 자신이 없었던 모양? 하여간 근데 정말 이 회사 솔루션 사용해서 누군가 죽으면 이 회사 임원부터해서 연구원들까지 싹 다 콩밥먹을수도 있는데 (특히 큰 사고 나면 어찌 판례가 나올지 모름) 어찌보면 자율주행은 내가 안/못해서 다행인것임 (..)

RE) 홈플러스는 사모펀드 경영 실패, 대형마트 산업 쇠퇴, 그리고 한국 경제의 구조적 병폐로 인해 파산 위기에 처했다. 취약한 지배구조와 과도한 금융 차입 부담, 허술한 규제 시스템, 부동산 불패 신화, 그리고 정부의 부적절한 개입 등이 복합적으로 작용했다. => 복합적이라고 하지만 사모펀드의 경영 실패 사유를 길게 나열한 것에 불과하다. 이런 식으로 사모펀드의 경영실패를 커버해주는 내용.
