Leute, ich versteh's nicht.
Wie kann das bitte sein, dass das Zuverlässigste an einer so kurzen Fernverkehrsstrecke wie Zürich-München die Verspätung ist? Und wie kommt man überhaupt auf die Idee, einen nicht unerheblichen Teil einer EuroCity-Strecke EINGLEISIG zu bauen?

Jede Strasse in München hat im Schnitt gefühlt vier mal so viele Spuren.

Und dann grosse Raumfahrtpläne machen.
, echt eh…

Look, I know AI is controversial, but just for a moment, let's set aside our preconceived notions, our biases, the environmental impact, the massive cost to train and run models, the labor exploitation, the intellectual property theft, the inaccuracies, the mania it causes in users, the destruction of search, the deskilling of professionals, the devaluation of creative work, job losses, and lack of economic value from enterprise implementations.

Wait, what were we talking about?

Setting aside copyright/commercial/other aspects, a thought about writing blog posts that LLMs train on. When people write posts, they (a) feel good about helping others, and (b) hope to get some credit and visibility for doing so.

When mediated through LLMs, no longer the satisfaction that your consumer is a human (who might comment, thank, share, etc.); nor the cred that comes from people remembering the author, posting on HN, etc.

That is, it totally destroys the incentive structure.

I often crop my photos in an effort to make them more abstract/composed/whatever but that means I sometimes can't even remember what it was a photo of to begin with.

I started looking through uncropped versions of photos and thought it was interesting to see how they started and how they ended up, so I figured I'd share some examples.

These are all color to black and white because they show the biggest difference from start to finish.

Side-by-side photos of an original photo in color next to a cropped black and white version. Both feature an upward shot of a ladder going up the side of a building with a circular cage where it appears as if the cage has been bent into an irregular shape, but the original shows more of the side of the building a surrounding buildingSide-by-side photos of an original photo in color next to a cropped black and white version. Both feature a view of the Bay Bridge in the fog, but the uncrossed version shows more of the bridge and road with cars and the interior of a bus from where the photo was taken.Side-by-side photos of an original photo in color next to a cropped black and white version. Both feature a puddle with buildings reflected in it, but the original shows more of the street and surrounding buildings and the cropped version has been rotated by about 180 degrees to make the reflection of the buildings appear right side up..Side-by-side photos of an original photo in color next to a cropped black and white version.

The most important thing to understand about Toronto’s approach to traffic safety is that - first and foremost - the life of any citizen is less important than the paint on any car.

Anyway, both of these pictures are across the street from a hospital and a school.

Coop sector receiving UK government attention. The article mentions digital infrastructure

> Co-operative Network Infrastructure – trailblazing the way we own and manage digital infrastructure. This isn’t just broadband. It’s about co-operative ownership of the underlying tech and data that our entire economy increasingly depends on. Not having that in community hands is a risk the UK can’t afford to take.

'Call for evidence' is open, on the contributions of the sector.

Doubling the size – hit, miss or maybe?
