Wait, older people are already here. They aren't causing the growth. Well, maybe you could say that because they aren't dying as young, they stick around longer, leading to population increases.

Most older people, even poorer ones, got all the recommended vaccines before this administration started scaring people off them so they aren't dying off fast enough. While that was initially a boon at the voting booth for the administration, it's going to be a relatively short-term problem for those who dislike funding Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, etc... As far as the youngsters, they're on their own. /satirical-political-rant

Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential subscribers getting 15, 10, and 5 hours respectively before they have to buy additional playtime.

Microsoft said this impacts 4% of Game Pass subscribers

Microsoft said it was making the changes because the cost of providing cloud gaming has grown as more people use it and play for longer.

They're doing this because 4% of their users play longer than those limits? The extra charges from that 4% is going to cover their increased costs? Sounds more like they picked some initial numbers to gauge the pushback with the future goal of lowering those limits and/or raising prices further going forward.

Well, since it says "local", I assume you'll pay your own power bill for your own inference and agents.

From the PAIR link in TFS:

Private Local Inference Keep It Close to Home
Run AI workflows at home with data that stays on your network. NVIDIA PAIR is built for private local inference, helping you use prompts, files, and agent context without sending them to the cloud.

I'm still dubious, however, of the pinky-swear promises from these companies that they won't somehow get your data.

He was arrested when he arrived in New York City. He allegedly committed a crime on a platform whose headquarters are in a US jurisdiction, so he can face charges when he steps into that jurisdiction.

He might have a chance if this gets to SCOTUS as 4 of the 9 justices don't seem to understand what "subject to the jurisdiction of" means - and this Administration seems to be okay with insider trading. /s Of course, the DOJ simply dropping the charges after he makes a donation to this President is always a possibility.

Then my wife mentioned that perhaps he's concerned about his own comings and goings being tracked...

He's more concerned with trying to explain away his diverting of $10 million obligated to pay for health insurance for poor kids that inexplicably went to two PACs then the Republican Party of Florida, all without anyone knowing who diverted the funds, including the people who were charged with managing the funds.

Submission + - Chinese study claims stem cell therapy reversed type 2 diabetes in patient (business-standard.com)

AmiMoJo writes: In a medical breakthrough, researchers in China have reported the world’s first successful reversal of type 2 diabetes using stem cell therapy. By restoring the body’s natural ability to produce insulin, the treatment moves beyond lifelong symptom management and signals a future in which diabetes may no longer be a permanent condition. Researchers in China used advanced stem cell technology to generate insulin-producing pancreatic cells in the laboratory and then transplanted these into a patient with type 2 diabetes. After receiving the treatment, the patient reportedly no longer needed insulin injections or diabetes medications to control blood sugar levels.
