Curing Type 1 diabetes could be Canada’s legacy
From insulin to regenerative therapy, Canada’s contribution to diabetes research is unmatched. The question is whether we’ll continue to lead or watch others cross the finish line.Jessica Diniz (The Hill Times)

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 30: Do you tend to include epilogues?
I had one in "A New Faith". I got rid of it because it felt corny. I find myself wondering if I should re-write it and make it available to readers. It was about the antagonists (#plutocrats #oligarchs #billionaires) and their nefarious plots. TBH - I thought I had gone way over the top. But then when I read about real-world billionaires I find my imagination pitifully humble. Gaaaahhh...

I need you to know that the NEO home robot (an "AI" humanoid robot to do chores) is bullshit, because automated laundry folding is not a solved problem.
Even the current best clothes folder in the market requires a human to manually set the item, then it folds the item perfectly.
In my cohort of graduating engineering students back in 2010, there was a team that tried to build a laundry folding machine, then they dropped down to just towels. Even that was impossible for the tech at the time. The machine they built was also bigger than a phone booth.
Anyway, here's Marques Brownlee hating on the thing.

With 99.7% of votes tallied, it looks like D66's Rob Jetten will be the next prime minister of the Netherlands — by the narrowest of margins, with far right populist Geert Wilders snapping at his heels, and with weeks or months of negotiations over which parties will form the governing coalition. @BBCNews takes a look at how 38-year-old Jetten pulled the liberal D66 party from fifth place to the top in less than two years.

"Because conservative Christianity is so tightly woven into the state’s political culture, #Musk and his fellow California exiles find themselves confronting a new ideological fusion, a blend of neoliberal economic policies and Christian-nationalist cultural ambition, rooted in the state’s long history of resource extraction and at ease with racism and misogyny."

When Trump decides to increase nuclear testing as it supposedly serves the national interest.
Remember that it's not only such criminally irresponsible politicians who threaten the Unacceptable.

Scientists: have responsibility for what they do, too.

“Social Networking is Pickleball…
The fediverse doesn’t need to resurface the tired, worn-down tennis courts of the old internet. It needs to create something new. This ecosystem offers an entirely different kind of online experience. It’s smaller, more local, more relational. It’s messy in the best ways. It prioritises conversation over content, sharing over extraction, and community governance over corporate control.”

Openpilot 0.10.1 Released: Improved World Model and Overhauled User Interface
Openpilot 0.10.1 introduces the North Nevada Model, featuring major improvements to the World Model architecture. The system now infers 6 degree of freedom ego localization directly from images, removing the need for external localization inputs. This reduces over-constrained data and opens the door for future self-generated imagery.
To support this change, the autoencoder Compressor was upgraded with masked image modeling, switched from CNN to Vision Transformer architecture, and the World Model itself was scaled from 500 million to 1 billion parameters. All models now train on a much larger dataset of 2.5 million segments, up from 437,000, covering more vehicles, countries, and driving scenarios.
The UI has been completely rewritten, moving from Qt/Weston to Python with raylib. This reduces code complexity by about 10,000 lines, cuts boot time by 4 seconds, lowers GPU usage, and simplifies development.
Finally, the Driver Monitoring Model's training infrastructure has been streamlined with dynamic data streaming, though the model’s functionality remains unchanged.

So what do you do if you want this? Does the car need to already have cameras and sensors and stuff or do you get those with the comma and you have to install it into your car by yourself somehow? What's the procedure?
I have a Volvo EX40 right now and it has a lot of features but it refuses to drive on its own for more than a number of seconds for safety reasons. (We're in the EU, so I guess that's not allowed.)
… Mi padre miró a mi hija de doce años como si no fuera más que un mueble que estorbaba. «Puedes comer en la cocina», dijo con un tono despectivo que arrastraba desde hacía cuarenta años. «En esta mesa, solo adultos».
Vi el rostro de mi hija descomponerse. Esa mañana, Meredith había pasado una hora peinándose y eligiendo su mejor atuendo. Incluso había anotado temas de conversación en pequeñas tarjetas.
Y allí estaba ella, de pie con su vestido verde esmeralda, frente a nueve cubiertos inmaculados dispuestos en una mesa que podría haber acogido a doce sin esfuerzo. Nueve cubiertos, diez personas. Una crueldad deliberada, calculada.
La voz de Meredith era apenas un susurro, pero en aquel comedor paralizado, fue como un trueno: «Yo también soy parte de la familia… ¿verdad?».
La pregunta quedó suspendida como una acusación. Debería haber recibido una reafirmación inmediata. Mi madre, Vivian, debería haber corrido con un plato de más. Mi hermano, Dennis, debería haberle ofrecido su sitio. Pero los nueve adultos alrededor de aquella hermosa tabla de caoba —mi madre, mi hermano y su esposa, mi tía y mi tío, mi prima— no dijeron nada.
El silencio se alargó, cada segundo una nueva negación. Vi las manos de mi madre tan apretadas que sus nudillos palidecían, pero su mirada seguía clavada en la porcelana. De repente, Dennis encontró su corbata fascinante. Todos esperaban a que pasara el momento incómodo, a que Meredith se arrastrara hasta la cocina, donde le habían preparado una mesita frente al microondas.
Miré el rostro de mi hija y vi algo romperse en sus ojos. No era solo decepción; era la conciencia, repentina y devastadora, de que esta gente —que le enviaba tarjetas de cumpleaños firmadas "con cariño", que publicaba fotos con ella escribiendo "nuestra preciosa sobrina"— la dejaría ser humillada sin decir una palabra.
Entonces hice lo que haría cualquier padre. Tomé la mano temblorosa de mi hija. «Nos vamos», dije con una voz que rasgó su cómodo silencio.
Mi padre resopló: «No seas dramática, Alexandra. Es solo una comida».
Pero no era solo una comida. Eran todas las veces que la habían hecho callar, cada foto de familia de la que le habían pedido que se apartara, cada fiesta donde sus éxitos habían sido ignorados mientras se celebraban los de Dennis. Era un patrón que yo había sido demasiado cobarde para ver, hasta que mi hija se vio forzada a preguntar si era parte de la familia.
Eché un último vistazo a aquella hermosa mesa, a aquella familia que había pasado mi vida intentando satisfacer, y tomé una decisión que lo cambiaría todo. Irme era solo el principio. Lo que hice después no solo arruinó su Navidad; hizo que todo su mundo se desmoronara. #narraciones #mensajedepaz #socialmedia
