Not to rub it in but we’re having an almost unprecedented streak of warm and sunny days and you and your family are always welcome although who knows how long it will last. Here’s hoping some of the sunshine reaches you too soon. (And I love the design on the card. Beautiful.)

Have a lovely weekend, Olga. Here’s to victory and peace for Ukraine.

Widely covered MIT paper saying AI boosts worker productivity is, in fact, complete bullshit it turns out.

wsj.com/tech/ai/mit-says-it-no…

in reply to Kevin Beaumont

This is total speculation, but I wouldn't put it past the AI techbros to pay some students to write some BS papers. 🤷 It's enough to have some papers out there you can cherry pick. They don't have to be valid, good, or peer reviewed. The revocation process for academic papers is even less effective than the one for TLS certs 😂 Most people outside academia just see that someone cites a paper and assumes the facts are good. If you are lucky someone checks wheter the paper actually exist.

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, the former Conservative Party chairwoman and senior foreign office minister, voiced her opposition to saying: “Israel has a right to defend itself without saying the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves.”

In the interview with Good Morning Britain on Friday, Baroness Warsi said she “resigned over this” 11 years ago, citing the UK government’s policy on Gaza.

Marlene Kuntz - Uno (2007)


immagine

Il disco è stato registrato e mixato a Cuneo da Riccardo Parravicini e prodotto da Gianni Maroccolo. Vede la straordinaria partecipazione di Paolo Conte (al pianoforte in Musa) e di Greg Cohen (contrabbassista di Tom Waits). Si tratta di un concept album incentrato sull'amore in tutte le sue sfaccettature. I singoli estratti sono Uno e Musa. Il disco vede un cambio di sonorità molto importante, infatti vengono abbandonati totalmente i suoni e le composizioni dei precedenti lavori a favore di un rock più cantautorale e malinconico. Nel booklet del CD, inoltre, molti autori italiani hanno dato il loro contributo in prosa: tra di loro spiccano Stefano Benni, Carlo Lucarelli, Tiziano Scarpa ed Enrico Brizzi. Per la grafica e le coreografie della copertina e del booklet dell'album, il gruppo ha scelto i luoghi e le rappresentazioni dell'Arte Sella presenti nell'edizione della Biennale del 2006. Nel Live in Love Tour, che segue la pubblicazione dell'album, si uniscono al gruppo il bassista Luca “Lagash” Saporiti (La Crus, Amor Fou) e il polistrumentista Davide Arneodo.

in reply to Joe McLaughlin

The image features a stylized portrait of a man's face painted on a wall. The portrait is predominantly in black and white, with bold, expressive lines defining the features. The man has dark, curly hair, a prominent mustache, and a distinctive eyebrow with three lines above it, suggesting a thoughtful expression. The outline of the face is accented with a red line, adding a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic palette. The background is a plain, light-colored wall, and a white electrical outlet is visible in the bottom right corner. The painting style is reminiscent of pop art, with a focus on bold outlines and simplified forms.

maybe it's art of the charging port being used too many times in repetition until this happens.


Wait did this actually happen to someone?

no, I made it up. I assumed repeatedly messing with the charging port is the equivalent of fucking the phone.


In 1833 overleed Niépce. Een andere pionier van de fotografie was Louis Mandé Daguerre. Hij zette het werk van Niépce voort en ontwikkelde een nieuw procedé, de Daguerreotypie. En dat procedé werd in 1839 door de Franse overheid aangekocht en geschonken aan de wereld. Daguerre kreeg er in ruil een levenslang pensioen voor.

in reply to Candela-Fotografie 📷

The image is a black and white photograph of a man seated in a chair, dressed in formal attire typical of the 19th century. He is wearing a dark suit with a high-collared shirt and a bow tie. The man has curly hair and a mustache, and he is looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. He is wearing a medal on his left lapel, suggesting a position of honor or achievement. The background is plain and light-colored, which contrasts with the dark clothing of the subject. The photograph has a vintage appearance, with a slightly faded and aged look, indicating it is an old image. The chair he is sitting on has a patterned backrest, adding a touch of detail to the composition.

The image depicts a historical black and white photograph of a city street. The scene is set in an urban environment with closely packed buildings, many of which have multiple stories and visible chimneys. The architecture suggests a European city, possibly Paris, with buildings featuring classic facades and windows. The street is lined with trees and has a few pedestrians, indicating a lively atmosphere. The road appears to be paved, and there are street lamps visible, suggesting the photograph was taken in the 19th century. The buildings show signs of age, with some areas appearing weathered. The sky is overcast, and the overall tone of the image is monochromatic, with varying shades of gray. The photograph has a vintage quality, with visible scratches and marks, adding to its historical character.

Bildungsministerin Prien plädiert für Handyverbot und Sprachtests

14 Jahre später, "GenXYZ ist ungeschult im Umgang mit den 'neuen Medien'".
Das ist wie mit Pornos oder Drogen.
Verbote werden nur eine größere Nachfrage machen.
Wenn sie das durchziehen wollen, müssen sie konsequent auch WLAN in den Schulen abschalten.
Wenns nur um die Ablenkung geht, ja, könnte klappen
in reply to tagesschau

was nützt die ganze Sache, wenn 6 Kinder und 2 Erwachsene in einer 2 Zimmer Wohnung leben müssen, weil sie keine andere Wohnung finden?
Und bei Sprachtests wären vielleicht besser ersteinmal die generelle Sprachfähigkeit zu testen, statt gleich nach Deutschkenntnissen zu schielen.
