It's time for some updates on the PS/2 Model 70 386. This week, I got a ton of parts in to put it together and spent some time configuring it with DOS and Windows for Workgroups 3.11. And, it has been an adventure. Buckle up for a fun 🧵. Here we go!
So, first, I did get all of the components installed! Here is what the system looks like with everything populated. You'll notice that the ESDI hard drive is plugged in. More on that in a minute... spoiler alert.. it's good news!
On a microchannel system, each board has to be configured. When you've added something and haven't configured it, you get an error message on boot, and you need to grab your Reference Disk and get to work. However, the system does a good job with automatic configuration.
REVEALED: Tory operatives are running a network of closed anti-Ulez Facebook groups. We got into 6 groups and found dozens of racist, Islamophobic and violent messages, including virulent abuse of Sadiq Khan.

We found 36 groups covering most London boroughs and several counties in the commuter belt. All are run by Conservative councillors, campaign managers and local party officials.
This Russian translation 🧵by @sambendett of Russian drone volunteer Aleksei Chadaev criticisms of Russia's drone procurement system are worth a read.

I did a direct message interview with Forbes Magazine journalist David Axe the first week of November 2023 about the state of the “Wizard War,” that is electronic warfare, between Ukraine and Russia.

As I said then:
"The Russian problem with using electronic warfare is sociological. A centralized authoritarian who picks for political loyalty for 20 years also picks for corruption and incompetence for just as long. Putin’s military has extreme levels of incompetence at every level, from top to bottom, as a result. In a centrally controlled system like Russia, the stupidity of the commander flows downhill."

Benjamin Netanyahu wants to artificially stoke protests in America to prevent us from focusing on protests against him in Israel. It also benefits MAGA to have a new antifa. Prove me wrong. cnn.com/2024/04/01/mid…
Before Netanyahu resumes the slaughter of Palestinians he needs America to get all worked up against "them". Cuz U.S. schools are not safe. Trivia: The IDF scored direct hits on 212 out of 563 schools in Gaza. nbcnews.com/video/netanyah…
Qatar is also tired of Israel's... and Hamas' bullshit. THey both keep moving the goalposts. 203 days of hostages suffering for no good reason. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

There are a wide range of challenges in flood mitigation & response in Kenya as identified 30 years ago by my retired colleague Maj.Alexander Muoki former CO Kenya Navy elite diver rescue unit CDU. This include equipment, training, & a lack of government support. @Pmwanyosh
@Pmwanyosh However, positives identified including respondents’ willingness to assist in flood emergencies, good cooperation with neighbouring countries & across the region. Opportunities for better cross-Counties & Govt communication exist too.
one of the greatest lessons i’ve learned in organizing is to not blame people for being surprised when they find out how bad the world is, even when it hits them late in life. not people who feign ignorance, but people who are truly surprised
we need an energetic movement full of people who can say that they used to be wrong, confused, or ignorant about lots of things. we need that level of humility in our organizing. this is what political education is about
students, staff, and faculty who are forming rapid ad hoc encampments are still working out their political lines. they have something that has brought them together— which may not be the same thing that keeps them there. this is why all of these encampments have libraries
Daniel Dennett is a full-blown genius, so I guess it shouldn't surprise me that he's succinctly summed up my gravest concerns about AI and society.

In fairness to my past self, I have hit near the mark a few times...
Still, Dennett's right on the bullseye when he says civilization "is more fragile than we realized."
As the piece sums it up, "From conspiracy theories to totalitarian propaganda, from fabricated evidence to ersatz humans, reality-rejection is a booming business. There's nothing inevitable about the endurance of tolerance, skepticism or reasoned debate..."

In addition to succeeding first, adult content platforms succeed big.

💥2/12: Etiology of Sarcoidosis
1. Exact cause unknown
2. Likely triggered by antigen exposure (e.g., mold, insecticides, silica dust)
3. Genetic predisposition plays a role🧬
4. Family history ⬆️ risk

🛡️ 3/12: Immune Dysregulation in Cardiac Sarcoidosis:
1. Starts w/ type 1 T-helper cell activation
2. Leads to Up-regulation of cytokines & chemokines
3. Activates macrophages
4. Forms non-necrotic granulomas
5. Progresses to active inflammatory phase
6. May lead to fibrotic phase
7. Both phases contribute to cardiac dysfunction 💔
