"I would like to point out to the finance bros out there, all your tech stocks, pharma stocks, biotechnology, they are about to tank. You defund the NIH, the universities, the research infrastructure, who do you think is buying the 10x genomics plarforms? The novel monoclonals? The NMEs?" --bsky

Just yesterday, Debbie was constantly whispering 'Great Depression' in my ear.  This was posted in the science/medical feeds this morning.

>literal interpretation ranger

You're not alone.  It is generally accepted in our family that Louise & I do not interpret instructions --say, on an early ATM-- like 'normal' people.


>early ATM

Back when the first one was installed at our bank we went one evening to give it a try.  Following the instructions exactly we came home with buckets of cash.  It didn't do what it said.

In the early days I thought Pedanticist had joined us. hhh.  LOVE that nic, btw, came close to stealing it when registering for a hardware forum.

OK, 65 years later: "Where's my damn rocketpack?!!?"

BTW, that flight seemed longer but -scrutinizing my memory- it was about 30 seconds.  He had on a metallic/reflective jumpsuit and went from one lower rooftop to an upper-level one.

I saw one of the very first public demonstrations of a human strapped to a jetpack at Chicago's McCormick Place Convention Center in the very early 60s.

I was at the regional teaching hospital today for about 3 hours.  This is in the heart of rural, ultra-conservative NC.  During the covid pandemic this place was not the best at masking --frankly, doctors and nurses were pretty lax about it.  It took a mandate to get masking enforced.

Today, there was no masking mandate but I'd estimate that 50% of the people in the halls and common areas were masking and the canaries-in-the-coal-mine lab staff was 100%.

>Running in background when not open?


Yup.  Using taskmaster, I found ollama_llama_server.exe using about 70% of cpu and VmmemWSL 15%.  I ended the .exe but couldn't end VmmemWSL.  However, with the .exe stopped it dropped back to <2%.

Slight latency while browsing and battery warm & draining quickly.

>how many gigs of data is your local install sending to China?

No where near as much as I've unknowingly sent to the NSA.

BTW, I have run it with wi-fi off. No internet required.  Of course, there is always the chance that they've hidden a 'delayed sentience' routine and it'll soon wake up, flip a switch, and start phoning home.   Even though it is open source and has been picked apart down to the last semi-colon.
