I have the STRANGEST of notions at times. I've been journaling in what I call my "Wonky Journal"

It's called that as I have this thing where I'll take a pristine journal and start with my best writing and nice neat lines but then give up when I make a spelling mistake or smudge etc thereby "ruining" the journal.

So I decided I cannot ruin this one as it was never meant to be perfect. (Prefect is an unachievable state anyway!)

Anyway I digress. My writing (especially scribbled notes) is TERRIBLE and it slopes up and down the page. However I started adding doodles and small drawings in my journal to help illustrate my mood, thoughts, observances etc etc etc.

Now My writing is terrible but my drawing skills? Even worse I'm afraid 😁 I have zero artistic talent... which makes my current notion very puzzling to me but I just can't shift the idea.

My journal is plain paper (doesn't help with the writing I can tell you XD) and it's quite thick.. I fancy getting one of these tiny pocket sized watercolour palettes and using that for my journaling.

but dear god. I know nothing about paining. I look at some of these on Amazon and they look Jank. Obviously AI generated images of the same item with very few actual reviews. -OR- they're expensive , obviously aimed at the professional kits with more features than I need.

I also don't want to have to carry around a lot of stuff with me. Already enough carrying my massive journal and a pen.

this is the sort of thing I'm looking at (not this one obvs.. I mean look at the image!)

any suggestions?

EDIT ... I'm leaving that Freudian slip in. I mean PAINT-ing but PAIN-ing is probably more apt for me ;D

Изтеглянето на американски войски от Източна Европа идва в момент, когато руските провокации зачестяват – и то не само по границите на НАТО, а и в самото сърце на европейската несигурност.
Вашингтон променя приоритети, Москва тества граници, а Европа мълчи и чака. Въпросът вече не е кой ще ни защити, а дали изобщо има кой да го направи.

I think important, high-level national security positions should be filled with experienced, competent national security professionals, not neophytes who don’t know what they’re doing but have the right connections or pass personal loyalty tests.

Sorry to get so partisan. But that’s how I feel.

Tinc un amic a l'Arboç que ha trobat un niu immens de vespa velutina asiàtica i sembla que, un cop avisat l'ajuntament, els municipals no poden fer-hi res si és un descampat industrial en una finca privada (ni que sigui abandonada).

Què cal fer en aquests casos? Serveix de res avisar els Agents Rurals si és una finca industrial?

Li he recomanat de moment que afegeixi l'observació a la base de dades de SITMUNcat:

At what age do we take a step back from life and ask what it is that we are doing, or what have we done, and has it all been worthwhile? Is there just one point in our life, or are there many? Do we just charge headlong into whatever is before us and see what comes and then, when it is all done and through, when we get to the other side, stop a

Belle tentative, en entrée de cette édition 2025 de Numérique en commun[s], de nous donner des raisons de croire (encore et autrement) au numérique (sous-entendu d'intérêt général)

Pas certain que le but soit atteint, mais on a entendu de belles interventions de Jean Cattan, Daniel Kaplan et surtout de Victoire Tuaillon, qui a rappelé que le numérique d'aujourd'hui c'est surtout l'oppression des femmes et des minorités, des ressources qui s'épuisent, et un climat qui se dérègle

Language Models are Injective and Hence Invertible

Transformer components such as non-linear activations and normalization are inherently non-injective, suggesting that different inputs could map to the same output and prevent exact recovery of the input from a model's representations.
