The Food and Drug Administration says it is removing the black box safety warnings from all hormone therapy creams, pills and other treatments prescribed to ease the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause.

The prominent warnings said these therapies could raise the risks for some cancers, dementia, heart attacks and strokes. That, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary told CBS News' Norah O'Donnell, scared women from using drugs that could in fact improve their health.

So I’ve tried Jellyfin Book plug-in but since it doesn’t allow pinch-to-zoom (at least on my phone’s app) that will not work for me

I’ve already thinker with Kavita so I’ll probably be ok for the first install.

My problem come when I want to run it in the background (as a client ?) at this point I’m completely lost

A new paper argues that current LLMs are fundamentally broken because they're completely static. They call it "anterograde amnesia", which is honestly spot on. A model gets pre-trained, and from that moment on, its weights are frozen. It can't actually learn anything new. Sure, it has a context window, but that's just short-term memory. The model can't take new information from its context and permanently update its own parameters. The knowledge in its MLP layers is stuck in the past, and the attention mechanism is the only part that's live, but it forgets everything instantly.

The paper introduces what they term Nested Learning to fix this. The whole idea is to stop thinking of a model as one big, deep stack of layers that all update at the same time. Instead, they take inspiration from the brain, which has all kinds of different update cycles running at different speeds in form of brain waves. They represent the model as a set of nested optimization problems , where each level has its own update frequency. Instead of just deep layers, you have levels defined by how often they learn.

The idea of levels was then used to extend the standard Transformer which has a fast attention level that updates every token and the slow MLP layers that update only during pre-training. There's no in-between.

The paper presents a Hierarchical Optimizers and Parallel Extensible model with additional levels. You might have a mid-frequency level that updates its own weights every, say, 1,000 tokens it processes, and a slower-frequency level that updates every 100,000 tokens, and so on. The result is a model that can actually consolidate new information it sees after pre-training. It can learn new facts from a long document and bake them into that mid-level memory, all while the deep, core knowledge in the slowest level stays stable. It creates a proper gradient of memory from short-term to long-term, allowing the model to finally learn on the fly without just forgetting everything or suffering catastrophic forgetting.

So, a buddy of mine dropped off a box of 18 Wyse 3040 & 5010 thin clients. I believe they all run W10 embedded, but doing some research, I think I can also run a lightweight Linux OS like maybe Tiny Core. The 5010 can run SuSE Linux Desktop 11, ThinOS, or ThinOS PCOIP acording to Dell.

So, the burning question I have today is 'If you were gifted a box of 18 Wyse 3040 & 5010 thin clients, what would you do with them'? I want something I can incorporate into my already established homelab.

Inundate me with ideas!

A new report from ENISA (European Union Agency for Cybersecurity) warns that public administrations across the EU are facing a surge in cyberattacks, with hacktivists increasingly relying on distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) campaigns. Central governments were the most targeted, accounting for 69% of incidents. The majority of incidents targeted the websites of parliaments, ministries, and national authorities/agencies, largely skewed by DDoS attacks.

As these institutions handle vast amounts of sensitive data and provide essential public services amid growing digitization, even a single incident can cause major disruption and erode public trust. The 42-page report identifies DDoS attacks, data breaches, ransomware, and social engineering as the most prevalent threats. ENISA’s latest sectoral analysis offers a comprehensive view of these risks, aiming to inform better risk assessments, strengthen mitigation strategies, and guide policymaking across the public sector.

...

ENISA expects several trends to shape the cyber threat landscape for the EU’s public administration sector in 2025. DDoS campaigns are likely to continue, particularly around major events such as elections and international summits, though they may not cause significant operational disruptions. State-linked activity is also expected to persist, with Russia- and China-aligned intrusion groups maintaining cyber espionage campaigns aimed at collecting strategic data from EU institutions.

The use of artificial intelligence in social engineering is projected to grow, with generative language models, voice-cloning, and face-swap tools increasingly leveraged for phishing, vishing, and misinformation campaigns. These operations may move beyond simple extortion to focus on manipulating public opinion and eroding trust. Opportunistic ransomware attacks are also anticipated to continue, causing occasional but notable service disruptions across the public sector.

...

The report also identified state-nexus intrusion sets publicly documented as associated with Russia and China that were active in cyberespionage campaigns against the public administration in the EU, notably targeting governmental entities.

...

Addition:

China-linked hacker group UNC6384 (also known as Mustang Panda) attacks European diplomatic agencies in Hungary, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, and Serbia between September and October 2025.

Basically title. I want an app that can integrate with a server to run whisper and small local llms to place phone calls and such. Already have ollama and such, so that side is done. I just need the integration.

Edit for clarity: I mean a local siri type thing.

The United States has struck two more alleged Latin American drug-running boats, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Monday, adding that all six people on board were killed. Critics say the US strikes in the Pacific and Caribbean – which have now claimed the lives of 76 people – amount to extrajudicial killings

Note: a bit weird title; better is" LatAm boats".

Edit: apperantly someone liked my suggestion, as the title was just changed.

After the pathetic move by the Democrats just days after an incredibly positive election for them, I am wondering what people think about the next shift in consciousness among the working class in the US.

Just anecdotally, I have found that most people are not afraid to talk about politics in places where its usually prohibited (mostly work, school, etc). The anger among the more liberal people I've seen is palpable.

As the American economy is showing trends of generational decay, the US government is also taking actions that will immediately impact tens of millions of people. The economy is in turmoil while ICE kidnaps people off the streets. Universal healthcare, food assistance, etc, seem like sound policies to many people simply because it would stabilize the economy more at this point.

The Dems are still the vehicle through which the majority of people think that the "resistance" will come from, but after this latest government reopening vote I'm seeing some very existential reactions.

I'm curious what people think will happen next in terms of the consciousness of the masses. I dont think the masses are anywhere close to accepting a vanguard party, but I do think that a massive shift away from the two current parties in power is possible within the next few years. I could see a shift toward democratic socialism as a party emerges with all the new contradictions that will arise with that.

What do y'all think?

The soldiers who agreed to talk confirmed the IDF’s routine use of human shields, contradicting official denials, and gave details of Israeli troops opening fire unprovoked on civilians racing to reach food handouts at the militarised distribution points set up by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

“In basic training for the army, we all chanted ‘means, intent and ability’,” Capt Yotam Vilk, an armoured corps officer, says in reference to the official IDF training guidelines stipulating that a soldier can fire only if the target has the means, shows intent and has the ability to cause harm.

“There’s no such thing as ‘means, intent and ability’ in Gaza,” Vilk says. “No soldier ever mentions ‘means, intent, and ability’. It’s just: a suspicion of walking where it’s not allowed. A man aged between 20 and 40.”

European carmakers are rapidly losing market share globally as Chinese rivals enter a new phase of expansion and innovation, said the head of the world’s biggest operator of car-carrying ships.

“The reason why Chinese are winning market shares is because they innovate themselves,” he told analysts on a recent earnings call. “The Chinese producers have gone from being cost leaders to now being technology leaders.”

Wallenius Wilhelmsen has historically benefited from western carmakers shipping their products to China. But the Norwegian group, which sells space on its ships to carmakers, is now trying to capture more revenue by helping newer Chinese brands to expand overseas.

Wanted to share an app I just came across. I was trying to use Dolphin with Pixel 8 pro on graphene and it just wouldn't stop stuttering. So I looked into it and found this fork of Dolphin that emulates way smoother and is just better. If you're into emulation and want to give Wii another shot then check this out!
