Project completed.
After 15 years of daily cycling and pic taking, starting at stupid o’clock and ending at dawn, I’m tired.
I turn 65 this month, time to sleep in.
I’ll still take pics and post, but I need to change my approach.

The Guardian has an 'explainer' about the India-Pakistan conflict that manages to avoid stating that the border between the countries was originally drawn by an Englishman who had never been to India and signed off on in a hurry by Lord Mountbatten because he had to get back to Britain for a party.

Newsletter: I am sick and god damn tired of everybody pretending that generative AI is the next big thing. The media is complicit in accepting fantastical nonsense - both in the numbers put out by OpenAI and the silly jobs created by Anthropic - and it has to stop.

Reality Check
I'm sick and god-damn tired of this! I have written tens of thousands of words about this and still, to this day, people are babbling about the "AI revolution" as the sky rains blood and crevices open...

Tonight is the 1st night of #Passover. We dip parsley (Karpas) in salt water to recognize the spring time. Salt water symbolizes the tears and sweat of enslavement. As we hold Seders, remember the farm workers who are out in the fields harvesting the food we’re eating. #WeFeedYou

Pilgrims seem to have different places of worship in different parts of the world.
And visitors to Australia take up local rituals with ease.
Case in point, as I watched a dramatic dawn at Sydney’s Iceberg ocean pool, many accents wafted from queue of those waiting for the gate to open.

🎶Take me back to Chicago
I still dream of the lake peacefulness
The warm summer breeze
‘Cause my life was so much simpler then

“The study highlighted a common trend among these AI models: rather than declining to respond when they lacked reliable information, the models frequently provided confabulations—plausible-sounding incorrect or speculative answers.”

Some data breaches include novel information about us, are the result of particularly noteworthy security flaws, or are just so massive they’re impossible to ignore. Here’s EFF’s list of some of the most egregious data breaches of 2024.

Privacy isn’t dead. While some information about you is almost certainly out there, that’s no reason for despair. In fact, it’s a good reason to take action.

Produced this conversation on Solovair and Dr. Martens.

There’s also some boot-buying advice thrown in the text here. Make sure the stitching looks right the next time you buy a pair.

To true believers, the real Dr. Martens boots aren’t called Dr. Martens. They’re actually called Solovair.
