ight now, seven-year-old Rosie, a staffy-cross-shar pei, is as frisky and energetic as ever, but owner Paul Conyngham knows that’s not guaranteed to last much longer.

Rosie's cancer, a type of Mast Cell Cancer relatively common in dogs, is incurable using conventional treatments.

She has had multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy but all that’s done is slow the disease.

The vets estimate she could have between one and six months left and say there isn’t anything more they can do.

But Paul isn't ready to give in.

He works as an AI consultant and entrepreneur and he’s determined to save Rosie, leveraging all his expertise in data science and artificial intelligence.


The interesting thing here is how large competitors FIND unprotected products, more or make exact copies, ( except for some small detail , colour or slight shape change) get it manufactured very cheaply in China. and sell it in their own store. These large competitors MUST have staff OR contractors that do this. All perfectly legal. Shows why small companies must protect their IP. Dreamfarm specializes in kitchenware but this could apply to any product ...

RE writing in assembly language - wow , thats an effort.

I found it a interesting article

Top comment about this photo is ( and the poster) Scott Miller - Apogee/3D Realms Founder @ScottApogee BBS's (bulletin board systems) were the backbone of the online world before the Internet came along in 1995. Apogee teamed up with Dan Linton's BBS, called Software Creations, and we poured $200k+ into it to grow it to nearly 140 call-in nodes with a T3 (high bandwidth) line.


How did they keep the room cool? that equipment must not be shown... Maybe fans to move the hot air ....

It helps these computers didn't use much power, probably didn't even have much of a heatsink on the CPU. Someone in this thread quoted 3 watts for the CPU. Of course with this many of them you might be using something like a kilowatt (for all the components) which is enough to make a room quite warm, but not damaging. Think about a kilowatt space heater - it's not really dangerous to things that don't directly touch it.

If it's like the old ISPs I was familiar with, they didn't. The POP (point-of-presence, 100's of modems, plus several terminal servers, routers, etc.) would generally be in some basement without any cooling at all. There would literally be warped plastic.

Brings back memories ...

Boardwatch was the magazine for BBS ( I do not know of any others)

I actually thought the US should be offering compensation to parents. Trump and Hegsweth go quite and/or deflect when questioned by media about the case.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_attack This link has much more detail. It was a triple tap missile attack. Initial survivors where killed by latter missiles.

Autonomous low-profile logistics vessel will transport 18,000 pounds of cargo over 2,000 nautical miles without a crew, supporting long-range maritime resupply missions. The vessel must be able to sail on its own for over four days, while still allowing human operators to take control remotely during critical moments such as port departure and approach. Ha - drug runners probably been using such vehicles for years - including similiar concept micro subs ?
