@Safaricom_Care Just fix your app, its messy

Safaricom, guess the 5G network I am using while trying to use your faulty app

Nice, but why is Shape size of a+b (sum) is greater than shape size of a*b (product)

[Infinite Logiz @Infinite_Logiz]

Visual Proof of (a+b)² = a² + b² + 2ab

In weightlessness, water can take forms that are not possible under normal gravitational conditions. One example being thin sheets, 500 microns thick, formed in a wire loop like in a soap film but here as pure water with no surfactant.

Harvard researchers had 12 people read on an iPad for 4 hours before bed.

For 5 nights straight.

Then they measured what happened to their brain chemistry.

Here's what screens before bed are really doing to your body:

our mom was right. it’s the damn phone.

2 weeks without internet can reversed 10 years of cognitive decline.

checking our phone 200 times per day is literally shrinking our brain. we know this but we’re addicted.

A Heidelberg University study restricted phone use for just 72 hours.

Brain scans before. Brain scans after.

The researchers were stunned by what they found.

Here's what 3 days without your phone actually does to your brain:

Anthropic themselves found that vibecoding hinders SWEs ability to read, write, debug, and understand code.

not only that, but AI generated code doesn’t result in a statistically significant increase in speed

don’t let your managers scare you into increased productivity. show them this paper straight from Anthropic.

I believe DARPA just launched the most audacious bioengineering program of the decade & nobody’s talking about it loud enough

I spent hours reading through the Generative Optogenetics program documentation & honestly I’m still processing the implications of what they’re trying to build

this is about creating molecular machines that can be expressed in living cells to translate optical signals directly into DNA and RNA sequences on demand

think about what this means…. you shine specific wavelengths of light at a cell & it writes its own genetic code in realtime without any external DNA delivery no viral vectors no CRISPR cassettes just light triggering nucleotide incorporation based on photon wavelength

this is a FOUNDATIONAL shift in how we interface with biology bc right now if you want to deliver genetic instructions to cells you need massive supply chains synthesis facilities cold storage delivery mechanisms that break down over distance

DARPA GO wants to turn living cells into programmable biological systems where you can transmit genetic information massively via optical signals & the cell synthesizes the exact sequence you need using its own machinery

the implications are absolutely wild :

single-cell spatial resolution temporal precision to deliver different messages sequentially remote scalable dissemination of genetic instructions

Imagine regenerative medicine where you shine light patterns on damaged tissue & cells reprogram themselves in situ

manufacturing where bacterial cultures synthesize complex molecules on command via optical programming

agriculture where crops adapt their genome in response to environmental light signals…

what fascinates me most is that this high risk program acknowledges we’re building a direct interface between computers that design genetic sequences and living cells that execute them

we’re not just editing genes anymore we’re creating a bidirectional communication protocol between silicon & carbon where light becomes the universal language

If GO succeeds it unlocks programmable biology at a SCALE

we’ve never seen before this is how you get to foundational capabilities for extended spaceflight for on demand therapeutics for manufacturing without brittle supply networks

this is the kind of moonshot that changes EVERYTHING

Big new blogpost!

So, M-Tiba got hacked and according to the hackers, Kazu, the data leak contains 17,158,105 files and is 2.15TB in size.
They have provided a sample of ~2GB that contains patients diagnosis data by the health providers, and PII leak for Kenyans who use that.
Here's a thread.

Managed to try it with an old repo, just Before 12k pull, so happy with the model. Very practical given I have not used the quantized version. The model is really an edge-device first model. Thanks Google :)
