You might be wondering why we haven't updated outbreak.info for months. Well, the reason is that GISAID cut our access in January - as they did others. Without telling us. After a ♾️ back and forth, that is now permanent. More on that soon - and why GISAID should not be trusted with critical data.

Neville postgame after the 2-1W “At halftime I said, forget about the result and go play football… I want them to have fun.” “In the second half I had fun, in the first half I had none whatsoever.” #RCTID

I need Antony to find a middle ground between “shoot every shot without looking for a pass” and “bring play to a dead stop trying to figure out the pass” #rctid

I find myself reaching for an adjective I used more than I wanted to last season: “limp”. The Timbers feel limp. #rctid

Who is announcing the match for MLS tonight, and what exactly is the color guy’s accent? It’s weirdly Scots via Chicago or something. #MLSTonight #rctid

Dinner tonight was a spatchcocked chicken, dry brined overnight, then coated with EVOO and some more spices, then grilled over mesquite. Served with a simple side salad of greens and tomatoes. Y’all I nailed it, got a smoke ring and everything (on a regular Weber grill, not a smoker!)

America is now characterized by dangerous stupidity. We’ve taken people who think their ignorance is more valid than the knowledge of experts and put them in charge of everything important. Healthcare, trade, education, defense, national security, etc. All in the hands of the dangerously stupid.

It doesn't get reiterated enough that "human on a bicycle" is not only the most efficient way that a person can move, it's the most efficient form of motion ever observed in land animals.

Really sorry to hear about Peter David; his work with Star Trek was among the best of the '90s licensed material. I only met him once; it was when I would do part-time at the local comic shop for store credit.

Antivaxx and libertarianism are the same--they can exist only when the majority of the population buys in to what it takes to live in a society, allowing the minority to think they are outsiders thriving on their own exceptionalism.

This blog is SO good at pointing out what should have been obvious about AI for coding (Copilot and others) These tools are good for re-creating whatever they’ve been trained on. They are not what will create the next, better generation of frameworks, libraries, technologies.

hey a small request: don't use fucking LLMs or generative "A.i." for anything. they destroy your brain. they're wide open to manipulation by right wing billionaires. they're full of lies. they're based on theft. just say no.
