big retraction at Springer Nature, bunch of papers using a sketchy dataset of kids faces with and without autism (lol)
www.thetransmitter.org/retraction/e...
www.thetransmitter.org/retraction/e...
Springer Nature retracts, removes nearly 40 publications
The dataset contains images of children’s faces downloaded from websites about autism, which sparked concerns at Springer Nature about consent and reliability.

currently translating some c++ code into rust.
most interesting things so far has been thinking about when things are mutable (always mutable in C++ yikes), lifetimes for stored references (what if they are gone???), and non-type template parameters (used for sizes of arrays to allocate???)

This is a great book, very dark, just enough hot steamy romance+sex, actual plot too. I think this is the first "grimdark" style book I have ever liked.

realizing way too late in life that i actually like poetry. just not reading poetry on a page. add in some backing tracks and somehow the poetry injects itself into my feels.

it brings joy into my heart to introduce young players to local multiplayer games from the 1990s like Sonic 2. based on whoops and hollers, 9 year olds judge it more fun than sharing a modern tablet full of the latest games

this is a fun way to do IPC between containerized processes with no setup required. it is a bit slow, 1 bit of info per function call.
NO LONGER! i figured out how to make it faster.

Turns out you can communicate across containers via 63-bits of available space in a shared lock you acquire on /proc/self/ns/time that all processes have access to.
No networking required. The post has a demo of a chat app communicating across unprivileged containers.
