New article just dropped! I've been working with two colleagues from the Faculty of Medicine (a professor of molecular pathology and a mathematician/geneticist) to assess the potential threat from new biotech/genetics developments.

It's available for free here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Large-Scale Nightmare or Precision Tool for Covert Operations? An Assessment of the Risks of Genetic Technology in the Near Future

Advances in genetic technology could lead to new threats, such as engineered pathogens, or plots to frame individuals by planting synthesized deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) at a crime scene. Uncontrol...

Sounds like a wise choice, I hope it works out as well for you as it has for me. What kind of winter temperatures do you get?

Tony Ingesson @tonyingesson.bsky.social · 2h

No, for Australia it makes perfect sense to not have a system designed for heating over prolonged periods of time. It's the UK and the cooler areas of the US (where they have temperatures that are close to what we get here) where I think they could benefit from having this sort of stuff.

This is like the bizarre discourse on heat pumps I see now and then from the US and UK. They talk about it like it's new and unproven technology, when it's been ubiquitous here in the Nordics since the early 1990s.

I've got a heat pump connected to a larger unit that heats water for both the radiators and tap water (in separate isolated systems). It's connected to temperature sensors outside and in the house, and adjusts everything automatically all year round. It's never turned off (except for maintenance).

Seeing these posts about people turning their heating on is a another reminder that home heating tech we take for granted in the Nordics is apparently sci-fi in other parts of the world. My heating system is 15 years old, but still perfectly capable of managing everything automatically.

Typiskt fantasilöst alternativ, när vi har ett gyllene tillfälle att börja plocka in franska låneord igen.

Haha, jag tänkte exakt samma sak samtidigt... bsky.app/profile/tony...

Tack vare @staffand.bsky.social, vår man på kontinenten, har jag nu upptäckt uttrycket "vapoteur", dvs. en person som nyttjar vape. Detta bör omedelbart importeras som låneord, förslagsvis med stavningen vapotör. Funkar även i plural: vapotörer.

Vi måste omedelbart börja lobba för att detta uttryck ska få fäste som låneord.

Är en som röker en vape alltså en vapoteur?! Fantastiskt ord!

An edit feature would be nice since I have a tendency to skip words when I write posts while I'm thinking about things simultaneously...

I'm in the process of trying to secure an R&D software license right now, hopefully I can all that cleared up before next year.

I have great hopes for a new project I've come up with, a fairly technical one where I want to see if I can work with digital forensics tools to set up an early warning system capable of detecting biometrics data that has been collected for malicious purposes.

Having gone through the research budget situation for next year, it was a great relief to find that there was more money left than I had dared hope. This means I've got a good deal of research time next year as well covered. Now I just have to submit next application next spring to cover 2027...

As much as I loathe Amazon, I couldn't resist signing up for three months of Audible since I just noticed that they have an Alien III audio drama based on William Gibson's unused script, featuring Michael Biehn and Lance Henriksen! I'm really looking forward to listening to this.

Tony Ingesson @tonyingesson.bsky.social · 1d

Också en väldigt bra idé!

Tony Ingesson @tonyingesson.bsky.social · 1d

Jo, jag har redan hört om den historien, via de intressanta trådarna av @jmkorhonen.fi.

Intressant, stort tack! Jag har spelet ifråga (har spelat några timmar bara, får ta itu med att plöja igenom resten någon dag).
