Oh what’s that? They will depreciate at roughly 3 times the rate previously touted and require constant replacement and 2-3x the revenue to match initial expenditure?

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

Elvira seems fine just eating little bugs and hardly ever being watered. The main trick is they only want filtered or rain water. Apparently very sensitive to metals in water.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Epidemiologists of Bluesky: do you know of any papers that developed statistical models to infer Covid (or something else) incidence or mortality at scale based on survey data about contacts (i.e., “has someone you know died?”)

If you're in Dunedin the Night Shelter here is out fundraising and really needs help. We have a surging homelessness problem that is being exacerbated by this dreadful coalition Govt.

Aotearoa Te Waipounamu: if you are in a queue/line waiting to drop off your vote, STAY IN THE LINE

STAY in line if you’re special voting, if you get in line before 12 noon, the elections team need to let you vote. Every other box will be sealed shut at 12.

So you’ve got 20 minutes to get to a library or Woolworths or Warehouse to drop your vote in.

October Spooky Reads: It Was Her House First by @cheriepriest.com

I maintain Cherie is at her best when she is writing about hauntings, and here she interweaves past and present to deliver a ghost story with a delightful ending. It's almost cozy creepy? Is that a genre? A+ pacing & characters.

The Cass review into children's gender services in the UK continues to be terrible.

A new report from Australia led by the fantastic Dr. Julia Moore - and featuring me - looks into the issues in detail.

Someone smarter than me pointed out that burglary carries the harshest penalty so the charge reflects the maximum the perpetrator could be accused of. Not sure how that tracks it it mot not being a protestor.
