Buenos dias, bonito sábado
La imagen muestra a un anciano con barba blanca, sentado en un tronco en medio de un bosque. Lleva una túnica oscura y un capuz que le cubre la cabeza, creando una atmósfera misteriosa. Sostiene una olla grande en sus manos, posiblemente preparando una bebida o comida. Frente a él, un fuego arde suavemente, iluminando el entorno con un resplandor cálido. Alrededor del fuego, hay animales, posiblemente perros, que observan al anciano con curiosidad. El bosque está lleno de árboles con hojas de otoño, en tonos de amarillo y naranja, y la luz del sol se filtra a través de las copas, creando un ambiente tranquilo y mágico.

«Яйця по 17» замість відпрацювань на нарах працює послом у Великобританії. Як гадаєте, що буде з Умєровим? Обидва Фунти, що відмивають кошти з держбюджету. Не складно зрозуміти для кого й під захистом кого. Нагадаю, це пряма відповідальність головнокомандуючого Зеленського.
Українці - лохи. Ні? Так, а чого ви дозволяєте найобувати себе? Особливо, коли роблять так тупо й очевидно.

Israel said Saturday that it has launched a major operation in the Gaza Strip to pressure Hamas to release remaining hostages, following days of strikes across the Palestinian territory that killed hundreds of people.
Analysis by FRANCE 24 International Affairs Commentator, Douglas Herbert.
I am 100% convinced just from my own experiences that tech companies are knowingly, purposely putting "AI" buttons and links near commonly-used buttons or links in user interfaces to encourage accidental clicking and increase their usage numbers. AI usage numbers are dismal, and surveys repeatedly show large majorities of people do not want these features.

The image shows a dark blue Renault car parked on a paved area, with a license plate that reads "ZU 0666". The license plate has an unusual addition: "DROP DATABASE TABLICE" written across it, which is a SQL command used to delete a database table. The car is positioned next to another dark-colored vehicle. The background includes a grassy area with trees and a red car in the distance. The text "Good luck speed cameras" is displayed at the top of the image.

Thoughts on thinking • Dustin Curtis
I have been stuck. Every time I sit down to write a blog post, code a feature, or start a project, I come to the same realization: in the context of AI, what I’m doing is a waste of time. It’s horrifying. The fun has been sucked out of the process...Dustin Curtis on Svbtle

The image shows a terminal output with a black background and white text. The text is a log of a build process, indicating the progress of building a Lix NixOS module. The first line of text reads: "Matching version of the Lix NixOS module to the version of Lix you are using." Below this, there is a progress indicator showing "0/1085 built, 16/534/1297 copied (2618.7/12781.6 MiB), 626.3/3555.1 MiB DL" and a message "fetching gfflags-2.2.2 from https". The numbers and text are in different colors, with blue for the progress numbers, green for the copied and downloaded sizes, and white for the rest of the text. The terminal window is bordered by a thin white line, and the text is aligned to the left.
