They say material possessions don't bring you happiness, but being sent parts of the CMS detector sure comes close 😁
This one is part of the endcap if I'm not mistaken. It's a silicon strip detector, basically a few 100 very long PIN diodes that help with identifying and tracking particles of all sorts!
It will definitely get a nice frame and end up on my wall. Thank you so much @diminDima !

I'm indigenous to the Komi tribe from Northeastern European Russia. While I've lived in the United States my entire life and I'm pretty confident in my English skills at this point, it is still my second language and I still make mistakes. If something I say doesn't make sense please tell me and I'll try again :)

Druhé kolo rozhovorů mezi Ukrajinou a Ruskem v Istanbulu opět nepřineslo průlom a trvalý mír či alespoň dočasné příměří nepřiblížilo. Dojednat se nicméně podařilo alespoň výměny vážně zraněných i mladých vojáků a pak také těl padlých.

My doctor’s office just asked me if I consented to an AI scribe taking session notes. (Obviously I said absolutely not and over my dead body).

I am physically incapable of minding my own business so I asked for details. They confirmed that means the rooms are capable of recording now, but assured me that it is “completely deleted” in a “timely fashion”.

I’m with One Medical. So that means the steward of that data is AMAZON.

I am utterly horrified.

:europe: This week marks my 10 years for nature in Brussels. A decade ago I joined NABU for EU policy work. This has been meaningful & demanding. It comes with long days behind a screen or in windowless meeting rooms, far from nature. The challenges against vested lobbies + populist politicians are huge. Still, a small group of committed advocates can make a difference. Sometimes we win, often we at least limit damage. Not with big budgets but with conviction, creativity & collaboration 💚

Zítra pár na Pražském hradě přijme prezident Petr Pavel s první dámou Evou. Na středečním programu královské návštěvy je účast na pietním aktu u pomníku Milady Horákové, návštěva sídla neziskové organizace Člověk v tísni, či prohlídka vojenské techniky na letišti Kbely.
ℹ️ Král Vilém-Alexander se oproti původnímu plánu do Nizozemska vrátí již ve středu – tamní vláda dnes ztratila většinu, načež premiér Dick Schoof oznámil, že rezignuje.

1-As we move into summer, work returns to full craziness mode..lol I work Saturday/Sunday, so I mostly take it easy Monday. In late afternoon I had a lovely on the acreage +farm. Strong winds + a bit of rain over the weekend knocked down a lot of the fluffy seed pods from poplar trees, so the air was clearer than it has been, it was pleasantly cool around 17C/63F warmer in sunny spots, cooler in shade and the strong breeze.

Standing in a grassy area dotted with small poplar saplings/suckers. To the right is the shade of a mixed wood area, with a couple of mid-sized aspen trees in front of spruce and other poplars. From the left an area of low willows extends across the centre and continuing past the edge of the mixed woods on the right. Farther back to the left is a stand of tall mostly spruce mixed woods, with another area of mixed woods, mostly poplar, even farther back in centre. There is a narrow patch of cloud above the spruce on the left, which expands into a broader cloud in centre that fades into wisps below as though it is dropping a slight rain shower. Above this band of cloud there is some more thin white cloud then partly blue sky with haze.

@ianthetechieIan Wagner I picked up somewhere the idea of "language for the rest of your life", and it made me think: approaching 40 and with a kid in tow, I don't see myself chasing trends, and this struck a weird chord. That maybe I should think about this more, because it's an important question.

General-purpose: that sounds reasonable, right? So that you can build whatever else from it 'if needed'. But maybe that is a poor criterion

zooming out a little bit, it does feel alarming to me that a lot of people whose stated politics are progressive or socialist or both are willing to give huge tech companies an easy ride for fully seizing the means of production for everyone, no matter where you personally work

New Scientist successfully filed a FOI request for UK technology secretary Peter Kyle's ChatGPT logs - setting an interesting precedent!

I used it as an opportunity to write up some prompting tips for why the question "Why is AI adoption so slow in the UK small and medium business community?" is a poor fit for an LLM, in particular one with a September 2023 training cutoff date
