Nobody is asking for AI instead of search. Corpos who profit from the compute involved are asking us to accept it.

I definitely haven't been considering that pro bluesky people might read my stuff and how it could upset them. I guess I don't weigh the feelings of people working for peanuts with VC funded stuff equally. I should.
I do consider that all when I tag people and try to be nice. I'm aware of the hot take attention game and don't do that. I try to make a strong case for what social media should be and where I feel we are going wrong. I probably post too much.
I guess you're not gonna see this but I wrote that sentence to explain my thinking after you forced me to think about it and then said I will try to do better.
as I've said before, sometimes what one feels they need to say, can't be said in a way that won't upset others. it's why moderation needs to be more nuanced than it has tended to be here.
I wish you well too.
I mean most people working on AP related projects are not getting paid well for it, if at all.

Stopped by a greenhouse on the way to my grandma's house I've always wanted to go to, but never had money during the short time they're open. I got me some herb babies. This African Blue Basil and its tiny purple flowers was way too beautiful to pass up.
Also got a holy basil, peppermint, ornamental mini mint, parsley, chives, rosemary, and a hot and spicy oregano.

Interview with Boaz Bismuth from the Israeli administration (Skip to 0:40, rest is in english)
The interview is pretty wild. The introduction the first 40 seconds is in Norwegian. He talks about how this interview is unprecedented and that he has never experienced anything like this (You will understand why).
The journalist is a respected renowned Norwegian journalist covering various wars and politics.
Highly recommended interview. Although a bit frustrating at times, as it was hard to get any straight answers.

A good chunk of the United States is getting ground water with significant amounts of fluoride already in it.
Sometimes more than four times the recommended level, just from natural deposit erosion.
I wonder how Bobby Brainworms expects to "fix" that, especially considering that these deposits where it goes above the action level cover a lot of the Southwestern part of the United States.

Automatic Transmission For Manual Transportation
The drivetrain of most modern bicycles has remained relatively unchanged for nearly a century. There have been marginal upgrades here and there like electronic shifting but you’ll still mostly see a chain with a derailleur or two. [Matthew] is taking a swing at a major upgrade to this system by replacing the front derailleur with a torque converter, essentially adding an automatic transmission to his bicycle.
Most of us will come across a torque converter in passenger vehicles with automatic transmissions, but these use fluid coupling. [Matthew] has come up with a clever design that uses mechanical coupling instead using a ratchet and pawl mechanism. There are two gear ratios here, a 1:1 ratio like a normal bicycle crank and a 1.5:1 ratio that is automatically engaged if enough torque is applied to the pedals. This means that if a cyclist encounters a hill, the gear automatically shifts down to an easier gear and then will shift back once the strenuous section is finished.
[Matthew] machined all the parts for this build from scratch, and the heavy-duty solid metal parts are both impressive but also show why drivetrains like this haven’t caught on in the larger bicycling world since they’re so heavy. There have been some upgrades in internally geared hubs lately though, which do have a number advantages over traditional chain and derailleur-based bikes with the notable downside of high cost, and there have been some other interesting developments as well like this folding mechanical drivetrain and this all-electric one.

Taking my dog…less seriously.
I look at some of the photographers I admire, like Takuma Nakahira and Saul Leiter and Vivien Maier and plenty of others.
I want to be like them. I want every photo to speak, to capture the essence of the moment. The zeitgeist. The Koan.
Scrolling back through my file of keepers, I mostly fall short. Every so often I approximate a little glimpse. Mostly by accident. The harder I try, the more I miss. The closer I focus, the more distant I expose.
Then I remember not to take the whole thing too seriously. It is perfectly OK, I say to myself, to just post the process. The journey.
Sometimes that journey is just a cute picture of your dog taken at home. On the couch. That’s all I got.
Its enough.

I was briefly a foster carer. The system is almost impossible for anyone to thrive in, for the kids and young people, the carers and the workers.
Even putting aside the systematic unfairness that sees certain kids (Aboriginal, Black, refugees) much more likely to be removed, it's a trainwreck.
These kids need our political attention. Please pay attention when fostering hits the news.

In Seattle we never actually defunded our police force but we still managed to reduce the total number of cops by a staggering amount with one simple hack: We were mean and rude to ALL cops for a year or two and they ACTUALLY just quit their jobs in droves.
The cop exit interviews were full of statements like:
"In 2020, where everyone hated us"
So to the Patrick Hanlon's of the world, be sure to tell that no good pig that he's a monster who should quit his job.

In 1978, a dredging gang working for British Waterways was struggling with a problem.
