I try to leave things better than I found them. Historically computers, these days more bicycles, coffee, and cocktails. gr@eclipsed.net (Gabriel R) PGP: 18C3 BD77 124B D5C9 9B6D E4E3 2BAB 8E18 1372 03A4

I went for a run today. I was in a miserable mood when I went. I listened to @thebugle.bsky.social on my run. @alicefraser.bsky.social had talked on Patreon about how to address Bondi. What she said was powerful. It needs to be heard.
I suggest that you listen to it in your free time.

Some people, who know me personally, will know *precisely* why I'm asking this question, but I'm hoping to toss it out to the larger (hate this:) #biking / #bicycle community. Ahem:
Why are bicycle tubes labeled with their dimensions on the inner surface, nowhere near visible when they're stored?

If you haven't (and you, statistically, probably haven't) consumed @unwoman.com's Eldritch reinterpretation (it's not just a "cover") of Dolly Parton's "Jolene", I recommend that you do.

I took zero photos, even though I was manning several corners (and then catching the front) because gloves and phone fiddling don’t play well together. But I’m sure some will appear via @bcgp.bsky.social & @wednightrides.org soon.

When this spam sneaks past my several layers of filter, it's always *laughably* bad, but I don't blame SpamAssassin (et al) for failing to catch the first pass of this (or similar) scam[1].

I don’t “know things” in this domain, but an IPO seems stupid, that’s not enough money, and the “orbital DC” plan (I do have experience maintaining DCs) is an insane choice of a project to pitch to investors.

While you don't need to be a football (ie, soccer) fan to enjoy Chloe Petts's "Comedians Taking Penalties" (www.youtube.com/@ComediansTa...), you might be a bit lost if you are also unfamiliar with the UK @taskmaster.tv, and those who've competed in it.

Well, shit, @wtyppod.bsky.social / @postoctobrist.bsky.social, you now need an Airbus t-shirt (with the Boeing and McDonnell Douglas ones). I recommend actual photos of a solar flare or just a sunset motif as the backdrop: Airbus's corporate logo is terminally boring.

It was a bit drizzly for 26 November’s @wednightrides.org, and the night before a travel holiday, but a pretty good turnout despite that.

Hey, if you’d like to demonstrate to yourself how this generation of commercially-available “AI” (generally large-corpus written language models, most structured around hidden-node Markov chains) can’t, ya know, “think”, try this:
1. “Write” a shopping list.
2. Provide that to the model.
