Mushrooms cut dementia risk by ~75%, eliminating benefit of vegetables.
The highest levels of ergothioneine, only found in mushrooms, dropped the risk of Alzhiemer's / non-Alzheimer's dementias.
Even if there was a low vegetable intake, it didn't matter as long as ergothioneine is high.

Teaching James Whitman's book, Hitler's American Model, in my "War and Holocaust" class today.
In 1934, at a meeting of Nazi lawyers who were convened to translate Hitler's racial ideology into law, there was a lengthy discussion of American law. The most virulent racists at this meeting were the most vocal champions of the American model. This was during America's "Jim Crow" era (legal segregation), while lynchings and other acts of racial terror were soaring.

Carl Quintanilla: Real average hourly earnings down 0.7% on the month. That's the sixth straight month.
Jim Cramer: Yes. I mean, rich people are making a lot of money. God, I sound like Marx. I really don't want to sound like Marx. It's just I'm looking at the data.
Report: Israel is continuing to take over more of Gaza (now ~65%, up from the "agreed" 53% a year ago).
It constantly moves the Yellow Line, violently forcing Gazans into a smaller & smaller space.
The military has killed ~1,500 Palestinians in the past year in breach of the so-called “ceasefire”.

"American ‘Psycho,’ Fascist Dork: Inside Stephen Miller’s War of Terror"
"The US is now run by someone whose critics & victims routinely dub an American “psycho,” a man who revels in the pain & suffering of his enemies & his prey."
"Indeed, many of his allies, & his past & present colleagues, would describe him using precisely the same word."
"We are, of course, talking about Stephen Miller, not his boss, Donald Trump."

There's a form of grief about the state of the climate, the species we killed with our actions, the damage we've done to the ecosystem. Grief about not what we "lost" but what we destroyed (often through negligence).
I do feel a very similar kind of grief when I think about "AI" and what its usage does to our cultural expression and our collaborative infrastructures.

Interview: New documentary "Musk"
Musk has crafted an image of a 'polymath' solving the world’s most pressing problems...
but he's really a "ruthless businessman willing to do whatever it takes to succeed", including conning the US govt into supporting his companies.
"Musk has amassed unprecedented power in business, technology & politics" via SpaceX, Tesla, X, DOGE, etc. 14m deaths are likely by 2030 from DOGE cuts to USAID.
Linux kernel goes full AI slop code, hides chatbot commits

Linux is the name of a computer operating system kernel and a group of systems built on it, like Ubuntu or Mint. Linux is the basic infrastructure of the Internet. It’s important. A report just in from the Kernel Maintainers Summit on 8 October reveals…
9h agoi spent over a decade contributing to the wider linux ecosystem and pushing for linux as a genuine alternative to windows and macos. i installed it for friends and family who needed an operating system and couldnt afford windows. i used it to revive old “outdated” hardware. i really thought with enough people putting in the work we could build something great. and challenge capitalist tech hegemony.
torvalds is sucking off fascists, calling people SJWs, and now wants to restrict kernel contributions, effectively making corporations and their employees the only contributors.
linux is dead.
As with the other visual you can clearly see the much larger pumped hydro storage assets in Wales dominating, with some of the larger grid-scale batteries and pumped hydro visible up in Scotland.
More on storage is on the way!
Triaging Vendor Patch Avalanches With Jev
Juniper shipped 106 CVEs in one October release. CVSS won't tell you what to do abt them b/c a 9.8 in the BGP daemon is worth zero if you don't run BGP.
Wrote up feeding each CVE record w/infrastructure scenarios to a decision model as a fixed set of factual questions, with the patch rules staying in code that you as a defender control.
Full request examples in blog; DM for code if you're not a vendor/SaaS/large org.

Here's what grid-scale battery and hydro storage did over the past week…
As a follow-up to yesterday's post showing 🔵 import (charging) behaviour, I wanted to see how things would look with 🔴 export (discharging) shown as well.
Together they show how the storage assets are used to help balance the grid, nearly as if they are breathing in and out over time.
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/y-combinator-outlit-customer-surveillance Oh goodie, an AI startup pushing surveillance as a method of customer retention, just what the current hellscape needs. It's the same damaged mindset that considers stalking to be a method of partner retention.
I there any wonder I keep suggesting people cover their drinks should they meet an AI bro in the wild while socialising?
Seeing the damage that "AI" is doing to the Kernel (not just in Slop code being integrated that will bite us later but in making becoming a new kernel developer even harder than it is at a time where we should really be thinking about how to fill that pipeline) is super painful.
I think that - like Wikipedia - Linux as an alternative platform for computing was one of the new wonders of the world, something that showed that a better world is possible. And we're just pissing it away because Linus doesn't want to talk to people who he needs to mentor.
