If you're in an evacuation zone in SoCal, please check in with any disabled/aging neighbors you have to see if they need help evacuating.

I hope that the hill on which you die is a peaceful one, with tall grass swaying in the wind and a few birds calling.

The Buddha’s guidelines for deciding what should be said have been really helpful to me for keeping the peace during the holidays:
Is it true? Is it beneficial? Is it the right time to say this?
Just in case it’s helpful to someone.

I have discovered a planet. It is a land without fear -- but with fish. A limited moon drifts alone under its friendly sun. We could grow there, perhaps.

They have discovered a planet. It is towards the edge of the Milky Way. It is paltry and harmless. If there are monkeys there, I could have coffee.

A group of scientists warns against creating mirror cells. This sentence is somehow not sci-fi: “Drug developers might be able to create mirror antibiotics, but the treatments might not be ready to use until a mirror pandemic was out of control.” [nytimes.com]
A ‘Second Tree of Life’ Could Wreak Havoc, Scientists Warn
Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.

Any wars between programming language fanatics are, ultimately, about whether one thinks that the shortcomings of a program written in each language are the fault of the language designers or of the users.
I.e. whether one believes user error indicates a flawed design or not.

I'm so happy they're here, lol.
For anyone that doesn't know us, we are Orkney Library & Archive and we've been supplying books to the people of #Orkney since 1683 which makes us one of the oldest libraries in Scotland. We also have a Mobile Library called #BookyMcBookface and we have some REALLY big balls.
Nice to meet you. 👋

In honor of Jimi Hendrix, who would have turned 82 today, I wrote something for PBS about his incredible sense of style. He helped define not only the sound but also the look of a countercultural movement.

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.

All Meta does is hyperoptimize for engagement and then panic and copy other products when they realize they're having more growth than them.

Today on Bluesky, the hot topic of the day is data scraping. Are your posts being scraped to train machine learning algorithms? Should you be concerned? And what can you do about it? I'm here to break it all down on today's episode of the Bluesky Tech Minute:

As someone who regularly interviews candidates (more than 50 but less than 100) for engineering positions (part of my engineering job), the question of what role LLMs should play in the process is very hard to grapple with, and it inevitably ends in philosophical discussions.

Well, if my cows were that scary, I'd have made them sacred too.
India has the greatest units the rest of the world doesnt hear enough about. Nilgai is nice, but the great grand daddy of the genre is the scariest cow on the planet.

Yes that is a full sized tourist bus.

I stopped regularly using Twitter a long time ago, but I never found an alternative.
Bluesky was just missing the people I used to follow over there to win me over and having me here more often, and that seems like it's gradually being solved.
