A reader asked "How can I find good, human-made books?"

I'm going to counter the AI-slop by recommending more books that I love — ones I read, ones my friends write, ones I know are human art fighting to exist in an AI-slop world.

Don't look to algos to tell you what to read: ask your friends, go back to authors you love and see what they recommend, find real humans talking about real books. That's how books have always been found, before the algos colonized our info spaces.

個人的には、「民主党」の看板降ろしたのがでかいんじゃないかなという気がするんだよなぁ。反自民がこんなに少ないわけないので、単純に認知の問題として中道ってなに?みたいなのあるんじゃないか。とくに若い人と老人はそうかなと思う。そもそも人間ってなんもわからなかったら知られている選択肢のなかから選ぼうとする傾向あるとおもう。

Was looking for a garden center where I could buy sugarcane plants. And well. Now I know that opium plants still grow in the wild here in Germany and that owning the seeds is legal but planting them is not.

(What a coincidence that the website that sells sugarcane plants also sells these seeds)

無党派層が自民に行ったのと、立憲支持者が2割減、公明支持者も約3割減

今回、中道が候補を擁立した202選挙区のうち、調査が実施できた200選挙区をみると、無党派層で中道候補に投票したのは33%で、自民候補に投票した40%に及ばなかった。前回、立憲が候補を立てた207選挙区の無党派層の投票先は、立憲が46%で、自民の22%の倍以上だった。 今回の200選挙区では、中道支持層の91%が中道候補に投票している。また、昨年参院選の比例区で立憲に投票したという人のうち、今回中道に投票したのは78%。昨年公明に投票したという人で、今回中道に投票したのは73%だった。

i may have just had a brainwave?

in my qbasic engine i have 160x100 logical pixels, but every one of those is 2 *actual* pixels wide. which means i can do dithering within a single pixel

so if i use RGB 332 bit color, i'd get 8 shades of red, 8 shades of green, and 4 shades of blue

but i can dither adjacent colors, effectively doubling it to 16 reds, 16 greens, and 8 blues, or 2048 colors

would... would that work? would it look ok? it'd be nice to have 8-bit "limited true color"

Sobotní demonstrace odpůrců olympiády v severoitalském Miláně přerostla v násilnosti, když zhruba stovka protestujících házela na policisty dělobuchy, dýmovnice a lahve. Informovala o tom agentura Reuters s tím, že policie dav rozehnala vodními děly. Zimní olympijské hry, které začaly v pátek, hostí Milán společně s Cortinou d'Ampezzo.

The Tokaido Shinkansen continues operating in conditions that would shut down most rail systems.

**Engineering behind it:**
🔹 Advanced snow detection sensors
🔹 Heated track switching systems
🔹 Aerodynamic design prevents snow buildup
🔹 Real-time monitoring & predictive maintenance
🔹 Automated de-icing systems

Since 1964, the Shinkansen has maintained a perfect safety record while running at 320 km/h.

Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

My young nephew was recently diagnosed as being on the autistic spectrum (and mild adhd) and I'm wondering if there's any books out there me and @Njord could read to be a better aunt/uncle to him

I know there's a lot of books out there written from by people who have kids with autism that focus on their needs/pov rather than the kids so I'd really like to avoid those

I suspect a long term consequence of AI adoption in workplaces is that document reviews become worthless. An initial problem some have begun to encounter is where the author didn’t even read the document AI produced.

Some AI-forward companies have an even more pernicious problem of people not reading the document but instead asking AI what questions to raise to make it look like they did.

Over time this will become a waste of time with only the AI companies benefiting.
