LiteLLM supply-chain hijack, what a nasty one. This sort of warfare is only going to get worse and harder to detect, isn't it...

this is a "duh" moment for me - pretty simple explanation for global warming triggering extreme weather, more water in atmosphere = more energy
”You see an acceleration in the hydroclimate cycle overall. You see more extreme precipitation when it is raining and more extreme evaporation when it is not, simply by virtue of the temperature being higher than it used to be.” @weatherwest.bsky.social said

Oooh, Copper has released the 2.0 version of Charlie, its electric induction range. It now can plug into a normal 120V outlet! Bigger battery, more power. NYC is gonna buy a bunch of these for public housing, help bring the cost down.
Amongst all the other terrors, it's still at least a little terrifying how easily Netanyahu was able to court Trump into ignoring the entire military intelligence apparatus. Handed him a loaded gun aimed right at his foot and asked him to pull the trigger. And nobody in the cabinet stepped up.

This whole thing is great, but the arrangement of Aquaman really rips in particular
@bradmehldaumusic.com's recent concert at @elbphilharmonie.de with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band conducted and with arrangements by its composer-in-residence @darcyjamesargue.com can now be seen on @artefr.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpmK...
Oh god, connecting this through to the PTSD of "Smart Home" and "Quantified Self" really resonates (and makes the old wounds sting). Feeling deep in my bones how inevitable Smart Home felt back in the 2010's and how uselessly fragmented and broken those systems remain to this day.

Cool cool cool, my son is due to get his last shot in a month 🤞
2) Those changes could presumably take many forms — there are lots of vaccines on the schedule, which guides when kids get their shots. But it seems increasingly likely that RFK Jr will suceed at delaying hepatitis B vaccine. Here's a good @kffhealthnews.org story on that possibility/probability.
They'll all get extorted for carve-outs. The rest of the little guys will be the ones getting slammed.
B of A: “.. An average vehicle has 1k-3k semiconductor components.” Industry estimates suggest a 100% tariff rate on chips and semis could “increase vehicle production costs by $4,800-$10,000.” $TSLA, $F, $RIVN “most impacted”
God, I'm already tired enough of this - so if all the expensive items on my BOM go up by 100%, but the import cost of a finished good is 20-40% from an Asian country with good PCBA expertise, why again would I being that production onshore?
BREAKING: Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely increasing the costs of electronics.

How else is anyone expected to crack open a cold one with the boys and talk about the size of the shit they just took?

A nonsensical threat to: One of the most important advances in biotechnology of our time, already being used to successfully treat refractory cancers, enable genome editing, develop vaccines for infectious diseases for which there are none, treat autoimmune diseases, and more.
Exclusive: NIH officials have advised scientists to remove reference to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications, in expectation the Trump administration intends to abandon most research in the field. By @arthurallen202.bsky.social kffhealthnews.org/news/article...
BOO! This strip of open streets rules, it's really idyllic, It should be re-extended through Sunday
Vanderbilt Avenue will only be converted to a car-free paradise on Saturdays from May to September this year, a money-saving rollback for a thriving neighborhood institution that used to be all weekend from early spring to fall.

Last month, Streetsblog published a massive feature on a rogue e-bike company, Fly. The MSM failed to follow up. So we did, exposing oversight and contracting flaws that now make Fly the go-to company for a new NYC DOT bike-swap program. Read it here: nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/02/13/d...
