- San Francisco’s budget is $17B - the largest per capita major county budget in the USA. More than Singapore or Oslo. It doesn’t feel like that bc of rampant corruption by @sfgov. Lighting another $100M of taxes on fire will change nothing. Vote NO on J (and all new taxes).Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatcThere’s a tax loophole that the ultra-rich are using to screw over the rest of us. If we pass Prop J, we can generate $100 million in revenue for the city instead of giving corporations and the ultra-rich another tax break. Vote YES on Prop J3121397.2K

We follow this topic closely, so we read and summarized all available reports. The boards are two to six layers, Freerouting often did the routing, and none of the reports says how much cleanup it took to get to a board you would send to fab. We also looked at the gigabit switch an engineer at @OpenAI posted this weekend.012041

Come on! What are we doing? “If teaching math can harm students, then we have a lot bigger issues to talk about than whether to offer this course,” Nguyen told the Chronicle. Indeed. Brian Conrad, a Stanford mathematician, told the Chronicle that he felt math was treated as a “punching bag” for equity and mental health concerns. “The school doesn’t cut sports teams simply because some kids are far more talented at sports,” he said. “Why is it that the teaching of math generates much more controversy than other subjects?”34771.5K

Saint Nomad @Saint_n0mada couple weeks ago I posted about how bone grows into titanium implants because cells can't find the boundary turns out there's a catch engineers have been trying to solve for years: titanium is too stiff (~110 GPa vs spongy bone's 0.02–3.7 GPa) so the metal takes all the load, and the real bone around it actually weakens because physics says "why maintain structure that isn't carrying stress?" (stress shielding) enter selective laser melted Zn-1Mg-0.1Sr gyroid scaffolds: → mathematically generated TPMS gyroid lattice (70% porous, 550 μm pores) → elastic modulus tuned right down to 2.3 GPa so it flexes like real cancellous bone → alloying zinc with 1% Mg + 0.1% Sr precipitates Mg2Zn11 & SrZn13 intermetallics, more than doubling strength over pure zinc (33.7 MPa) → degrades at 0.36 mm/year with zero hydrogen gas pockets and the wildest part as it dissolves, it turns its own surface into calcium-phosphate & zinc-phosphate minerals while feeding Zn2+ and Sr2+ ions that make bone-forming cells grow faster titanium tricks the skeleton into adopting permanent metal this thing holds the load, feeds the bone to rebuild itself, and vanishes when the job is done. radical engineering.022644

Saint Nomad @Saint_n0madtoday while talkin to my friend (who’s a doctor) I learned something really crazy That the titanium implants don't just sit in bone they actually bone grows into them the oxide layer on titanium surface is chemically close enough to biological tissue that cells can't find the boundary so they erase it osseointegration isn't the implant holding on it's biology deciding the metal belongs there the skeleton adopts the foreign object as its own Cyborg vibes725336.3K162K- I’m tired of pretending it’s bad to have consequences for destroying public infrastructure.Solve SF @solve_sf“Guy making a house out of the bus stop” Reported in Hayes Valley this morning481873.3K
