It’s old news now, but this is my first time riding in the new Siemens Venture cars on the Wolverine, let’s see how it goes!
A blue Amtrak train labeled "Midwest" is parked on tracks within a station. The front view shows the train's headlights, logo, and various details of the engineering cabin. The platform features yellow safety markings.

A screenshot of a tweet from Ben Shapiro: “Twitter was founded as primarily an engineering platform. But over time, the company culture began to change more towards "doing good in the world" - in other words, doing the Left's bidding. Elon Musk has returned Twitter to its engineering roots, and the woke Left is furious.” 10:35 AM - 12/13/22 A screenshot of a tweet from Ben Shapiro: “Elon Musk has committed to nothing except more transparency and more free speech -- and the Left is melting down. Which shows two things: 1. They hate transparency and free speech; 2. They always assumed Twitter opposed both, then gaslit everyone that Twitter wasn't biased.” 8:08 AM • 4/26/22 A screenshot of a tweet from Ben Shapiro: “Guys, we have to stop billionaires like Elon Musk from taking over companies like Twitter because they won't operate those companies like Jeff Bezos does WaPo, which unleashes Taylor Lorenz on the families of anonymous Twitter accounts.” 9:15AM • 4/19/22

The Ultimate SIEM/EDR Architect’s Guide: Mastering Cross-Platform Data Management at Scale
Introduction: Modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are drowning in data, making the role of a Security Engineering Director more critical than ever. This position requires a unique blend of automation expertise, infrastructure-as-code proficiency, and deep security knowledge to design and maintain robust SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) ecosystems that can operate effectively across diverse enterprise environments.

Well, yes. And no. There are many scenarios where you need to step out to a low platform or ground level from a train. Just think evacuation mid route. And there are many engineering solutions to this problem on the market, this is just lazy design.

Researchers envision their vaccine being used as both a treatment and a preventive, and as an approach to treating multiple cancer types.

The study has been published in Cell Reports Medicine. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.

🧪🧵⬇️
HIGHLIGHTS • Lipid NPs carrying STING and TLR4 agonists promote synergistic type I interferons • NPs drain efficiently to lymph nodes and increase polyfunctional T and B cells • NPs improve tumor-free outcomes with memory against multiple aggressive tumor models SUMMARY We report on the utility of a "super-adjuvant" nanoparticle (NP) system as a modular, customizable platform for next-generation cancer vaccination. Using nanomaterials engineering technology, we aim to harness not only the effective adjuvanticity of whole-pathogen vaccines, but also the safety of subunit vaccines. Our lipid-based NP platform co-encapsulates agonists of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathways to promote synergistic production of type I interferons and other proinflammatory cytokines in innate antigen-presenting dendritic cells and macrophages. Compared to empty NPs and free agonists, dual-adjuvant NPs administered with antigenic peptides or tumor cell lysate promote increased antigen processing and presentation, drain efficiently to nearby lymph nodes, increase polyfunctional tumor-specific T and B cells, and improve tumor-free outcomes upon vaccination and subsequent challenge with multiple aggressive tumor cells. Graphical Abstract The vaccine combines two immune-stimulating molecules (adjuvants) in a tiny lipid nanoparticle that enhances both innate and adaptive immune responses. The innate immune system acts as the body’s first line of defense, responding quickly and non-specifically to invaders using cells that release inflammatory signals. The adaptive immune system takes longer to activate but provides a targeted, long-lasting response, training T-cells and B- cells to recognize and remember specific threats. Together, they form a coordinated defense: the innate system alerts and activates the adaptive system, which then delivers precise and durable immunity.

Since the meeting is way out near the beltway I got to take the red line to Forest Glen. Of all the stations in the system Forest Glen might be the most deeply WMATA—a genuine engineering marvel built entirely out of concrete, all to serve some medium density garden apartments, SFHs, and a P and R

(nazi) German engineering is when you have 6 different procurement chains for the same platform because everyone needs a kickback so no one can actually get an economy of scale going while you're getting the shit bombed out of you

motherfucker you are hollowing the industrial base out with anduril vaporware nonsense
You’re not going to win the war with software and A.I. It can increase your lethality. At the end of the day, you’re going to have to be able to build things. You’re going to need mass that you can bring to a fight that drives deterrence. The analogy I would give you is World War II. The Germans were far better engineers than the Americans. They had really exquisite technology. They just couldn’t build it at any sort of scale. They could build one-off little things here or there. What did we have? We had just incredible manufacturing capability. It even brought awe to Stalin. He couldn’t believe what we were capable of doing. Our things were less sophisticated, but quantity is a quality of its own. If you look at the present moment, you might say, that sounds an awful lot like our adversary — so we need a high-low mix. And I think part of this is we have to be able to build these things here again with speed. That’s what the new entrants are really bringing. I don’t think most people recognize that Gulf War I was a watershed moment for the Chinese. They could not believe how quickly the Americans rolled over the fourth-largest army in the world. Since that happened, they have been systematically investing in countering the key capabilities that enable us to do that, whether it’s in space, whether it’s our Navy.

He could have given that Twitter is now infested with misinformation and manipulation. Anytime someone brings up E. Musk or Twitter. I feel a duty to share the awareness. The platform is also overrunned by deepfakes and social engineering.

in software engineering there is the concept of an “anti-pattern,” which a deleterious solution that often ignores or works against the architectural benefits of the platform.

anyway we are rife with ai anti-patterns. because no one has been taught what their failure modes and strengths are.

Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire.

Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*
Two federal judges say use of AI led to errors in US court rulings
Two federal judges admitted in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley that members of their staff used artificial intelligence to help prepare recent court orders that Grassley called "error-ridden."

Brace for another wave of x refuges
& What's happening: Elon Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links. How this hits reality: This marks the first time a major social platform has handed full control of content discovery to an Al model. Engagement farms, trend-hacking accounts, and traditional growth tactics may soon lose their edge. The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging, turning social media optimization into a new form of prompt engineering. This shift could reshape influencer strategies, ad targeting, and even political communication in a matter of weeks. • Key takeaway: X did not just change its algorithm; it replaced it with an Al reader. Your reach will soon depend on how fluently you can speak Grok.

Platform screen doors (PSDs) in Seoul were fundamentally a political issue. Once political support was secured, financial and engineering barriers quickly gave way.
