The White House lost five members of the GOP Senate on the War Powers Resolution. This war does not have the support of Americans.
maybe the bitter lesson comes for this too but anecdotally people report better results with adversarial methods so i wonder. there's a particular way of working where you really dig into the causes that isn't well-represented in the industry. maybe the capability is there but it needs more nudging

Here’s a question I ask myself with genuine curiosity and worries about the first impression newbies get of the Fediverse: When people join the pixelfed.social server, they automatically follow 
@dansup. Am I the only person to find that weird and somehow unprofessional? #pixelfed #fediverse #pixelfedsocial

I remember Apple booting games out of the App Store due to pixelated boobs. I recall it kicking off various apps due to porn. Yet GenAI CSAM and other horrors where those depicted haven’t consented? Oh, that’s just fine, apparently. FFS.
It’s not just the cowardice. It’s also the hypocrisy.

I'm looking at the weather app like I have been for a good week already because of all this snow. There's no more snow due and the melt will probably begin on Monday.
It's just occurred to me why I'm sad there might be no more snow. I wanted us to be snowed in, a huge drift against our front door. I wanted a break from the world as it is right now.
Insulate and cut us off, yeees, please. Please?

I am here with my #introduction. I am curious to see in the coming weeks if people keep up/begin actual discussion/develop new connections. May we escape enshitification. Here's my dog I was listening with:

Good!
Since the start of the current winter, the Gaza Strip has faced compounded suffering due to extensive Israeli destruction and the lack of shelter.
More than 50 buildings previously struck by Israeli missiles collapsed under strong winds and heavy rains, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries. Thousands of tents were torn apart by the wind or swallowed by the sea.
Over 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza live without shelter or basic necessities in extremely crowded areas along the coastline.
The Israeli occupation continues to violate the ceasefire, preventing displaced people from returning to their homes and blocking the entry of relief supplies, debris removal, and reconstruction efforts.

#ForestFriday is here! So, one of my favourites (even included it in my calendar) - Fledgling, named due to the cute size of this mossy stump that appears to be protected by the large Vine Maple.
What a gift to have stunning places like this to explore (carefully too, don't ruin the moss people!)

Repairing Brittle Plastic Retro Computer Cases

Worked on a little project for 
@fronteers this week, which helped me ease in to my ‘working holiday’. I want to be more of a self starter and get back more into a learning and organising mindset. I used to be full of initiative, creating a string of online communities, and I want that back :) off to a good start I think! What shall I get up to next week?

I am working on a bazillion things at once. But today, kinda all at once, I made progress on so many of them!

to me the interesting question is whether i can pull out of it more than i'm putting in. i don't know if the meta game is worth it yet. but i'm very curious to find out. you need to build some deterministic stuff around non-determinism and vice versa, and getting this balance right seems tricky

it's like your tool is a goat and a fence and it can simulate other goats in its mind, and those are your new nand gates
i didn't really fully appreciate how weird it is until getting into the meta game. but i think you really need to get to meta level for the weirdness to hit you. for me it was agents evaluating work of other agents according to criteria i designed with another agent using agent-designed skills
Study finds women use gen AI less than men not due to gaps in skill, but bc they view it as harmful to mental health, employment, privacy & the environment. This is not misplaced: AI has significant energy demands and risks of bias and misinformation.
