@sjvn Missing options:
The previous reporter was you (but you'd forgotten), and there were no replies.
The previous reporter replied with "Don't worry, I fixed it!" but there are no further details, their account has had no activity in 3 years, and the email address associated with it bounces.
We live at an extraordinary moment in science history: We're the first generation able to see a meaningful map of the entire visible universe.
This view across billions of light years is based on JWST data, as part of the COSMOS-Web survey.

AI in the emergency room:
"Adam Hart has been a nurse for 14 years. he was listening to the ambulance report on a patient who’d just arrived—an elderly woman with dangerously low blood pressure—when a sepsis flag flashed in the hospital’s electronic system.
(.) The flag prompted the charge nurse to instruct Hart to room the patient immediately, take her vitals and begin intravenous (IV) fluids. It was protocol; in an emergency room, that often means speed.
But when Hart examined the woman, he saw that she had a dialysis catheter below her collarbone. Her kidneys weren’t keeping up. A routine flood of IV fluids, he warned, could overwhelm her system and end up in her lungs. The charge nurse told him to do it anyway because of the sepsis alert generated by the hospital’s artificial-intelligence system. Hart refused."

If you go through Google for 'booter services' or booters (DDoS), almost all of them are Cloudflare customers - you literally use Cloudflare to reach their service to order a DDoS, which businesses then pay Cloudflare to protect against.
Part of the reason I left my prior employer is the UK side of the business purchased Cloudflare, so I said yep, I'm out
If anybody is wondering- I've talked to CF before, I gave them a list of the crime groups using their service.. they kept them as customers.
Quick, totally unscientific poll.

You all know that Bandcamp is owned by Songtradr, who gutted it a lot. But don't fret, we have a new and better alternative now. It launched yesterday:
It is a #CoOp, so it is not in the hands of big money but in the hands of us, the consumers and creators.

This is the clearest graphic on global temperature rises I have ever seen - made by Ed Hawkins (U Reading).
Might not telll you anything you don't know but its clarity focusses the mind.
