The track is called 'Deusa' and is one of my absolute favourite things to have made in a while. I imagine hearing this as you walk down the street, coming out of a restaurant, clothes or shoe shop or in someone's car on a Friday night.
Roberta Silva is a fantastic Brazilian-Portuguese singer that lives in London. I first heard her at a gig and when I told Cian (aka Bruk Rogers) about her after he wanted us to find a singer, said she'd be the absolute best fit for the job, which she is.

Maturin uses .gitignore from the incorrect context when used in out-of-project build environments such as conda · Issue #1911 · PyO3/maturin

Wyciek danych nie jest udostępnieniem danych - tak wynika z ostatniego wyroku Wojewódzkiego Sądu Administracyjnego w Warszawie.
Pewna spółka, zajmująca się obsługą płacową, została zaatakowana przez ransomware. W rezultacie dane jednej z firm (kontrahenta spółki) zostały zaszyfrowane. Poszkodowana w ten sposób firma zwróciła się ze skargą do Prezesa #UODO.
Organ nadzorczy stwierdził jednak, że odpowiedzialność za naruszenie ponosi... firma, która (zdaniem PUODO) udostępniła dane osobie atakującej i to właśnie ona została ukarana upomnieniem.
Decyzja organu została zaskarżona. Wojewódzki Sąd Administracyjny w orzeczeniu z 25 lipca 2024 r. (sygn. akt II SA/Wa 2430/23) przyznał rację firmie. Wskazano w szczególności, że Prezes UODO nie wykazał, by w sprawie doszło do udostępnienia danych osobowych.
Szczegóły: rp.pl/abc-firmy/art40866771-sa… #RODO
Sąd: firma, która zleciła ochronę danych, nie odpowiada za ich kradzież
Firma, która zapłaciła za to, by administrowane przez nią dane osobowe były właściwie chronione, nie może odpowiadać za ich wyciek w konsekwencji ataku hakerskiego - orzekł w czwartek Wojewódzki Sąd Administracyjny w Warszawie.Nadia Senkowska (Rzeczpospolita)

From EYB re #AsmaKhan's new book, #flavour
[My comments are in square brackets.] It sounds interesting, especially as I have #MasalaLab by #KrishAshok on my desk at the moment.
Asma Khan, creator of Darjeeling Express in London, thinks that the idea of what Indian people eat at home is so wrong. “No one in India eats naan at home,” she says. “You need a tandoor. Your bloody house would catch fire. People’s idea of what we eat is so warped.”
Her two #cookbooks focus on Indian home cooking. Her upcoming book, Flavour – Discover the Elements Behind Delicious Indian Cookery, is different.
It is structured around the six core #ayurvedic tastes: Tangy, Bitter, Hot, Sweet, Sour, and Salty and how they correlate to the six seasons in Bengal. [These aren't actually the 6 Ayurveda tastes, which are Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Pungent, Astringent.]
This book aims to illuminate Indian cookery by giving the foundations needed to build balanced flavours, dishes and sumptuous feasts. [All from a Bengali perspective, of course. Each region in Indian has very different food and approaches.]
With core techniques including roasting, grinding and tempering spices, how to cook with ghee, chillies, and onions, and what to add and when to re-balance flavours in a dish, Flavour will have home cooks applying fundamental processes intuitively to their cooking of Indian [Bengali] food.

According to #NS, people on the go are not used to returning deposited bottles at the stations so it makes no sense to deploy more reverse vending machines there.

I have been travelling the past few weeks, and have not yet had the time to fully digest the recent announcement by Deepmind of how their two new #IMO problem solver engines, AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry2, were able to between them solve 4 of the 6 problems at the most recent International Mathematical Olympiad: deepmind.google/discover/blog/… . But I can record some preliminary impressions.
1. This is great work, shifting once again our expectations of which benchmark challenges are within reach of either #AI-assisted or fully autonomous methods. For instance, IMO level geometry problems are now effectively a solved problem for specialized AI tools; and it seems now that IMO problems that can be readily formalized and with formal proofs that can be located through a reinforcement learning process are now at least somewhat amenable to AI attacks (though currently requiring genuinely significant amounts of compute per problem, and human assistance on the formalization side).
2. There may be side benefits of this approach into making formal mathematics easier to automate, which could in turn facilitate mathematical research methods that contain formal components. In particular, the database of formal proofs generated by this effort could be a useful resource if shared more openly.
3. The approach (based more on reinforcement learning than large language models, somewhat in the spirit of AlphaGo, and heavily emphasizing formal methods) is clever, and makes sense in retrospect. As per the "AI effect" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effec… , once explained, it does not "feel" like an exhibition of human-like intelligence; but it is still an expansion of the capability of our suite of AI-assisted problem solving tools.
"We estimate that the decline in Nuclear power Plants caused by Chernobyl led to the loss of approximately 141 million expected life years in the U.S., 33 in the U.K. and 318 million globally".
So, for the slow kids, let’s spell this out:
1. Chernobyl happened
2. Many countries close down nuclear or no longer build it
3. Instead fossil fuel plants get built
4. Air pollution is spiking
5. 318 million life years are lost globally (thus far)
All because of fear.

Regarding the hit-by-bullet assumption:
"It seems quite likely that the story Trump has been telling constantly over the last two weeks simply isn’t true, that he and his campaign know it’s not true or at least that there’s no evidence for it. And the press has too."
