Treating diabetes with stem-cells
by professor rat 27 Feb '21

Human stem cells can be converted into insulin-producing cells to control blood sugar levels – and in effect “cure” type 1 diabetes https://www.drwf.org.uk/news-and-events/news/researchers-discover-potential… Avalanche has already established itself as a good alternative to Ethereum for launching DeFi applications, as its fast, low cost transactions are carried out in a secure and scalable network. https://coinlist.me/news/biconomy-to-bring-gasless-meta-transactions-to-ava…

misbehaving system halting work
by Karl 26 Feb '21

26 Feb '21

The work i landed on for a while was software called 'brainflow'. I am actually part of the organisation now. I am presently stuck on https://github.com/brainflow-dev/brainflow/pull/247 and don't really know what to do. My system apparently has corruption, but it is pretty complicated for me to resolve that, so I am just debugging things on the corrupt system.

[spam] Fwd: Red Hat Renewal - Karl Semich - (11826708)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Karl Semich <0xloem(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2021 15:01:19 -0500 Subject: Re: Red Hat Renewal - Karl Semich - (11826708) To: Ella Eleazar <meleazar(a)redhat.com> Hi Ella, I let my subscription lapse because I was frustrated at redhat's lack of pgp signatures in their image downloads. I opened a ticket and it had no velocity for a year. However, it's been convenient for me to continue using the system, even though the subscription has lapsed. How do I pay you guys to re-enable yum on my system? The subscription doesn't seem to be listed in my account on your site any more.

[spam] crazy community bag [includes webcomic inside tags]
by Karl 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

here is a place for crazy concepts to draw from. i am confused so i am just writing here. here is a dangerous concept. it will start and end with the same tags. --DANGER [familiar]-- I was thinking earlier of the mind control boss webcomic jokes, which would have flowed more smoothly as prose than web comics. Here's one: Mind controlled senator walks into room. Boss is laying on ground with tongue hanging out. Boss's eyes are X's. Mind controlled senator says to corpse-of-boss, "Boss, I am your loyal servant, what will you have me do?" Machine learning researcher 2 has tears coming out of eyes and looks at mind controlled senator and says, "Boss is dead." Mind controlled senator says, "What are you talking about? That doesn't make any sense. What does Boss say to do about it?" ... Later: Board meeting. Corpse of boss with Xs for eyes and tongue hanging out is sitting at head of table. A hotel privacy tag is hanging over one eye. Machine Learning Researcher 2: "Boss is dead. We're not sure what to do about this, but we've found a solution and we're pretty sure you will love it." Mind Controlled Senator: "Obviously, whenever you're not sure of something, the thing to do is to ask Boss, or he'll torture you gruesomely to death with his beautiful love. So, we decided to ask Boss what do about his death." Everybody applauds. Silence. --- (then the secret business and its overt public businesses continue running as normal, except that all the decisions from the top are made by whoever accidentally makes it seem like boss wants something. of course rebel worker 2 would find their way there, and control everybody, and rebel worker 2 is mind controlled by a loyal boss employee who cannot believe that boss is dead.) --DANGER [familiar]-- oh that felt nicer to write. i am so crazy right now. i'm working on brainflow! it's great it consolidates ways of reading peoples' brains all into one open source repository. great for learning to mind control everybody. [JOKING [mostly]]. it's problem is that it doesn't have a gpl license and its maintainer doens't like gpl. research platforms have very few developers so they need to welcome as many supporters as possible. i know there's been a _lot_ of community eeg work, but i do not know how to find any of it.

[spam] [mess] [fiction] [draft] [monologue]
by Karl 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

Right now I am of two minds. Two ideas continue to press my body to move, and it is very hard to get them to work together. Oh, that's a bit better. I'm working on this wonderful software called brainflow! I made it work on android phones, which is a new thing. Buuuut I haven't gotten it to work for anybody _else_ on android phones yet, mostly because I am having trouble putting the finishing touches on my pull requests. The software is wonderful because it puts different eeg drivers into one repository, which makes it easier for me to contribute work to fix bugs in them etc. More return for investment. It also makes it more likely that any work I contribute will help others. Turns out this wasn't [fiction] in the slightest.
