it bums me out when i see pictures of people i generally think well of, and who i think try to be caring towards others, unmasked in places like public transit, in airports, and on planes.
like, i get it, you’re not worried about getting sick.
but *you* could make travel safer for others.

The way every train and tube ride has included at least one person near me coughing fit to die... 🙁
“Infections are still nowhere near back to their pre-pandemic norm. They never will be again. Adding another disease—COVID—to winter’s repertoire has meant exactly that: adding another disease, and a pretty horrific one at that, to winter’s repertoire.”

Bonus Friday newsletter and scoop from @zoeschiffer.bsky.social and me: Amazon’s new Q model is hallucinating and leaking confidential info, according to internal documents reviewed by Platformer

![An AWS manager noted “it goes without saying that this should not be discussed in a public channel.” And yet employees continued to discuss the issue in Slack. One noted: “I expect the [correction of error] report to be a real page-turner, if we’re ever allowed to see it.” “Correction of error” is how Amazon refers to postmortem reports, in which engineers work to describe the root causes of technical problems and identify fixes in the aftermath of incidents.
The program manager who started off the conversation asked if he should open a specific ticket to discuss the problems with digital sovereignty. “I wouldn’t suggest it,” a colleague said. “The broad and egregious nature of Q’s hallucinations yesterday (including potential Legal exposure) has been well reported in the existing ticket.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jg7zvku4khzmvyjwbzv4lnly/bafkreieq6kngb2a5ccuinqbgqedmqtj36wkwyjzc6d77pjbu3fnugto52m@jpeg)

Not to be all doomy, but "sense of impending doom" is in fact a symptom of a couple of super dangerous cardiac conditions, so if you're not just engaging in hyperbole it might be a good idea to visit the doctor.

I’m listening to this audiobook about crypto fraud and I just looked at the Bitcoin price out of morbid curiosity. In the last month it’s gone up from like $26k to $37k. It hasn’t been this high since early 2022. WTF.
