I might be out of the loop but I haven't seen an algorave outright recently. The Modular Monday Crew still does hardware + livecoding events. Online algoraves generally take the form of livestreams from what I've seen. Would definitely be down for one in VRC.
Saw this recently. Definitely agree this is one of the best car ride podcasts if you get the highlight reels. This definitely wouldn't have existed without public broadcasting.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.
Been seeing multiple open source communities use it. Looks like the best alternative I've seen so far. I've heard it's straightforward to move projects over from GitHub as well.
Went to an AI symposium last week. Saw some genuinely inspiring research by people who understood the underlying models and were figuring out how to use them. Got to talk to people using alphafold to look at protein structure and test different predictive models on medical images.
No it is not. LLMs are statistical learning models built by people to predict text output based on input. This discourse distracts from real problems with AI and the real good tasks we can build AI for. It is normal technology controlled by people.

It's not necessarily a good thing either. It just is. Our understanding of health is getting better and these kinds of trends happen naturally. We should be focusing on the experience of autistic people across the spectrum and how we can improve lives.
Autism and cancer are not comparable but in both cases it's not productive to pin all variants of the condition onto one thing without evidence. It oversimplifies things and wastes money and time that could be spent developing better therapies. Autistic people deserve more respect than this
Here's an example with a physical illness: cancer takes a variety of forms depending on which organ it's in and all the genetic and environmental factors involved. Because of that, we know it's silly to say all cancer is caused by Pepto Bismol even if many people with cancer happen to have used it.
Doctors give Tylenol to pregnant women because it is a fever reducer. Doctors know fever does cause problems during pregnancy. If there is an association between Tylenol and autism, there could be many other factors at play outside of Tylenol itself. That's why correlation doesn't mean causation
Autism was first named before Tylenol was invented, and over time the criteria for who is considered autistic has grown. The more people get tested and the easier it becomes to qualify as autistic, the more people we will see get diagnosed. That is not a bad thing.
The studies RFK does cite are cases where the researchers may have seen a correlation between Tylenol and autism, but that doesn't mean Tylenol CAUSED autism. The most robust studies we have, such as the Swedish twin study cited in that video, show no causal link between Tylenol itself and autism.
I analyze data for a living and I would recommend ignoring RFK and Trump entirely. Doctors prescribe Tylenol to reduce fever because fever itself can cause problems. There is no clear link between the medication itself and autism.

Summary video if this helps anyone.

I'm unconvinced that any for-profit social media company rolling this crap out can handle sensitive info in a responsible and secure manner. The more I'm learning about databases and how people manage them, the less convinced I am.
