California lawmakers kill plans to curb AI-manipulated prices: calmatters.org/economy/technol…
> A secretive appropriations process killed or reined in three bills regulating the use of pricing algorithms. A bill to monitor data center electricity use was also culled.
A crackdown on predictive software that sets prices and can rip you off seemed to be brewing in the California Legislature earlier this year, but today lawmakers eased up, voting to kill bills that would have kept software from setting the price of apartment rentals and other goods and services. Another bill, which sought to bar the use of personal information to set prices, was reined in to apply only to grocery stores.
Lawmakers also killed a bill that aimed to protect electric utility customers from bearing higher costs associated with data center proliferation […] The measure would have required data centers to publicly disclose how much energy they use.

The image features a humanoid figure with a robotic appearance, set against a solid orange background. The figure is wearing a blue helmet with intricate mechanical details, including a circular visor and a textured surface. The helmet's design suggests advanced technology, with visible seams and rivets. The figure's right hand is raised to its chin, showcasing a mechanical glove with articulated fingers and a wristband, indicating a blend of human and machine elements. The figure is draped in a flowing garment with a vibrant yellow and blue color scheme, adding a contrast to the metallic tones of the helmet and glove. The overall composition emphasizes the figure's robotic nature while incorporating elements of traditional attire.

My only suggestion to this informative list would be to include what platforms you played these games on and/or what platforms they’re available to play on. I seemed to have a pretty low batting average trying to find them on iOS, for instance. But it’d be good to know where else I COULD play them.

The image is a four-panel comic strip with a colorful, psychedelic background. The first panel shows a character sitting at a desk, looking frustrated and holding a pen, with the text "INFINITE POTENTIAL" above. The character is thinking, "How do I pack this down into something I can actually share?" The second panel depicts the same character holding a small, simple object, looking disappointed, with the text "All that work for this?!" The third panel shows another character handing the first character a small object, saying, "Here you go, I made this, it sucks." The fourth panel shows the first character holding a more complex, colorful object, looking surprised, with the text "Infinite potential." The comic humorously illustrates the struggle of distilling complex ideas into simple, shareable forms.

It's okay to admit to people that you are not settled on exactly what you are looking for. It's all part of your journey.

Where stone remembers and silence speaks - Tungkillo’s quiet legacy.
Tungkillo Cemetery, Tungkillo, South Australia, August 2022.
Tungkillo Cemetery, located in the Mid Murray region of South Australia, serves as a resting place for generations of local families, pioneers, and settlers.
The township of Tungkillo itself was surveyed in the mid-19th century, and the cemetery reflects this colonial heritage. Many of the headstones date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, bearing names tied to the region’s agricultural and community development.

It seemed to be isolated in that location but this year has shown up welcomed yet unexpected in a variety of settings. I also see Virginia creeper just above it which will provide beautiful autumn color later in the year

The text reads: "Trump goes half a weekend without committing an impeachable offense, and we all just assume he's dead." The font is bold and sans-serif, making the text easily readable against the dark background. The message is presented in a straightforward manner, with no additional images or graphics. The text is aligned to the center, and there is no other visual element present in the image.
