The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, has achieved a major milestone with the installation of the LSST Camera on the telescope. With the final optical component in place, Rubin enters the last phase of testing before capturing long-awaited and highly-anticipated First Look images, followed by the start of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time.
This camera is somewhat larger than the one on my telescope.

I see, so #Swift typed throws isn't quite finished :)
I run into issues from time to time where the compiler can't infer that I've covered all cases.
Maybe I'm stubborn, but I'm still not happy with the interpretation: I wouldn't have minded if the warning case didn't materialize.
catch-switch-case is bearable, though :)

Trump's affection for men who commit violence against women knows no limits.
There is no reason to give Mel Gibson his guns back — except to reward men for hitting women.
This is toxic masculinity. It's not just "jokes," JD Vance.

#BoycotUSA
reshared this
T’inquiète : la part des travailleurs 🇫🇷 dans une canette de Coca, ça ne doit être la goutte dans l’océan brun.
@Monolecte certes mais si on boycotte tout ce qui est américain, les gouttes se multiplient. Je comprends l'initiative mais comme dit plus haut, notre interdépendance est forte et degommer plus de 60 ans d'histoire de notre société de consommation ne va pas se faire d'un claquement de doigts.
Les seuls boycotts qui, à mon sens, peuvent actuellement fonctionner sont les achats en ligne sur des sites 100% américain et les voyages sur leur territoire.
The Department of Education
– which makes loans directly to borrowers and manages trillions of dollars in student debt
– faces an uncertain future,
with steep staff cuts and lack of communication exacerbating the uncertainty
The $1.64 trillion financial portfolio is managed separately from the department’s policy apparatus,
the latter of which Trump has sought to wind down or reassign to other agencies.
But Trump acknowledged Thursday that the massive loan balance was a complicating factor in his effort to shutter the agency.

Revealed: How the UK tech secretary uses ChatGPT for policy advice
New Scientist has used freedom of information laws to obtain the ChatGPT records of Peter Kyle, the UK's technology secretary, in what is believed to be a world-first use of such legislation
From newscientist.com/article/24720…
These records show that Kyle asked ChatGPT to explain why the UK’s small and medium business (SMB) community has been so slow to adopt AI. ChatGPT returned a 10-point list of problems hindering adoption, including sections on “Limited Awareness and Understanding”, “Regulatory and Ethical Concerns” and “Lack of Government or Institutional Support”.
Apparently it didn't say "because it's unhelpful and probably harmful to most SMB problems" or "what on earth are you doing asking a computer this you fool?".

Darmanin et les Macronistes instrumentalisent l'assassinat de Samuel Paty pour faire passer le soutien à l'effort de guerre contre la Russie. La soeur de l'enseignant s'en insurge: "L’attentat contre mon frère ne peut servir les intérêts de la politique étrangère ou politicienne du gouvernement"

les ambitions guerrières de Macron avaient pris un coup d'arrêt lors de sa débâcle aux législatives. Comment l'arrêter aujourd'hui ?

in reply to Partage Noir • • •Maison Blanche aujourd'hui:
Donald Trump, aux côtés de Mark Rutte, réaffirme que l'annexion du Groenland par les États-unis est inévitable. Il n'exclut pas l'option militaire. Mark Rutte précise qu'il n'appartient pas à L'O.T.A.N (32 membres occidentaux) de se positionner sur le sujet.
... Il va bientôt falloir organiser un concours pour les départager!
Il est grand temps de se débarrasser de nos oligarchies.
