Why is it always maples. Always the prettiest colors. Some turn red, others turn yellow, some orange. Or all colors on the same tree :neofoxfloofowo:
There was a tiny forest outside the botanical garden where the grass is only cut around it in a circle. In the center was a large tree stump and a lot of tiny maples growing around it. Kinda cute little place.
But you need the correct weather for these and for once have to have the scene backlit by the sun so they get really bright instead of boring looking.
Edit: yeah well, Mastodon cuts off my orange maple, the 5th photo. Without even mentioning it :neofoxgooglywoozy:

2 of them are things I needed for my new hobby, 2 are projects that improve my setup and help me work faster, and then there are a multiple others I can’t talk about just yet (most will be open sourced or are already in open source development, so you might have already seen some).
I’ll publish a full blog post at some point about what happened over the last few months, how I started fixing it, how I’m continuing to improve and learn from it, what changed, and all that.

Writing, for me, is not about putting words together in an interesting way. That’s poetry. For me, writing is putting thoughts together in an interesting way, that can provide insight in a way that others can understand. Which is also poetry. Fiction is about discovering why people act the way they act by putting them in situations that force them to act. Writing is about thoughts, not language.
Consciousness is a wild ride.

Because reasons I stumbled upon the late British intelligence officer and spy fiction author John Le Carré's Wikipedia entry. Not overly surprising, he has some very sane and insightful things to say about the Israel/Palestine conflict. One is:"I stood – and stand – wholeheartedly behind the nation-state of Israel … And wholeheartedly behind the peace process as the guarantor not only of Israel's survival, but of the Palestinian survival also."
Another, about meeting Yasser Arafat:
»"I have come … to put my hand on the Palestinian heart." Arafat then seized le Carré's hand, placing it on his chest. This experience enabled him to see the Palestinians as victims with legitimate claims, and not as merely terrorists.«
There is more, on this conflict and on others. I think of him always as a (small-c) conservative — that may be wrong, but anyhow this would be the kind of conservative with whom I could get along well.

I have a novel idea - what if I join some community discussing existential topics, psychology, philosophy? That would be cool it seems.
Although I was always was scared of being social, interacting with others, opening up. Fear of judgement is among the main causes probably.
Kind of also escaping the comfort zone, which I want to kind of research(more informal probably than research). -
This seems to be the strategy by trump and his acolytes in Michigan - tie El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood, call him a “jihadist”, dehumanize all Muslims (or Arabs), label them as terrorists.
Unfortunately, these tactics work on their base and others who tend be less informed and fearful of other cultures.
Let's keep calling out their naked racism and fearmongering.

Here I am in a lounge at #YYZ, waiting for my flight to #SFO and #XFD16 to board. Contemplating the presentations I’m likely to see over the next few days (including the likely firehose of #AI that goes with them) and getting into what I hope is the right mindset.
#InfoSec has always been a balancing act between requirements and risk, but I’m starting to think that we’re playing a shell game where we address one risk while being distracted from thinking about others. More to come over the next few days, unless I’m distracted from continuing this line of thinking. 🤔

forced labor of Africans created the wealth in private hands that kick-started a capital based economy.
This labor is the base of the freedoms we have to do.
we cannot say this labor has been given freely and has been paid for.
If we (whites) are not willing to pay back then at least be disciplined enough to let everyone benefit of these freedoms equally.
Stop acting as if you are better than others.

LLM hype and widespread usage has broken the unwritten "contract" I had going with developers to make software better. It was all aimed at dev + test together make software better.
A big part of that was: prudence.
Do we need this code?
Do we need this automated check?And respect for each others area of expertise.
When I uncovered issues via exploratory testing, the devs were then thinking whether this could become an automated check (or not).
It was great, it felt like an upward cycle (with its own challenges, of course!)
But now: prudence has been replaced by prompting and it's all gone to shit.

Another wild and intense #nightmare here last night.
We all live in underground cities, boringly clean and entirely white. Then, Poutine infiltrates (himself) the city and triggers a chain reaction by throwing a ball pen in one of the laundry machines (why not?). Everything starts to blow up, literally, like balloons inflating. The city pops out to the outside world (insert big 'plop' sound here) which is a field of ruins. People also inflates like balloons. Some of them only one limbs, others become grotesque monsters larger than skyscrapers (I'm fine in case you wonder). Then I realise I can heal people by playing music (obvious, isn't it?). So do I, while encouraging everyone to join me with every piece of crap we can gather to make noise. -
Another frustrating day trying to figure out how to pitch my employer to AI companies, so #GetFediHired:
Started an ISP, done codecs & 3d rendering & networked database internals, know a datum from a projection, worried about fractions of a microsecond. Showed that ONNX models should have been simple PCA derived linear systems.
My work has touched your life.
Interested in endeavors that involve thinking, around others who are thinking. LLM skeptic.

IIRC, the only reason such figures even exist in the first place is that Margaret Thatcher wanted to boast what an effective penny pincher she was, extracting money from the EU budget to bring back home (spoiler: it was irrelevant figures). Without the UK rebate, why even bother calculating it? Just get rid of it. Denmark and a couple others will groan but they can and should be bulldozed over.

"Just, like, be a browser" is like saying "just, like, be a building"
A browser has many functions. A browser can do lots of things for lots of people. Your browser needs will not necessarily be the same as others. Your experience of the web and what you value about it might not be the same as others.
"Just be a browser" implies a uniformity that doesn't match reality
"Just be a browser"... makes you sound like a moron.

🗣️ 270 lbs to 12% Body Fat: The Real Story (Mental Health)
Twelve years ago, I weighed 270 pounds and was struggling with untreated clinical #depression.
👉🏽 Even while helping my clients achieve their goals, I wasn't practicing the self-care I needed myself.
✅ The turning point came when I finally said, "I need help."
With support from healthcare professionals, family, friends, and my community, I began a journey that changed my mental health, physical #health, and quality of #life.
👉🏽Today, reaching 12% body fat is a milestone I'm proud of, but it's not the greatest achievement.
💪🏾The greatest achievement is that I'm still here, still growing, still helping others, and still moving forward.
☎️If you're struggling, please know that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Never give up.
📞In the U.S., call or text 988 for immediate #mentalhealth crisis support.
🇺🇸 #Veterans Call 988 and press 1, text 838255, or chat through the Veterans Crisis Line.

“Gladwell ignores the social costs of police, including what mass surveillance and militarized police do to the possibility of democracy and how police use their organized political power to block the social investments that actually increase safety and security for ordinary non-wealthy people. He therefore obscures the longer causal chain in which policing as we know it increases violence and makes people less safe. Indeed, coordinated and intentional police surveillance, infiltration, and violence has been used to attempt to crush every major progressive social movement in the last 150 years, including the women’s suffrage, civil rights, labor, disability justice, indigenous rights, reproductive rights, immigrant rights, anti-war, LGBTQ, anti-genocide, and climate justice movements, among many others.”

So #Apocalypse - nearly finished this series. And they have survived 28 days without the normal society structures. Well, big deal. I mean, I couldn't cope, but then I am a wimp. But it should not be a huge deal for these (mostly) fit an healthy younger people.
But the thing that struck me - especially compared with The Walking Dead - is that in a real apocalypse, people would die. Of infections, when they got wounded. And of starvation. And at the hands of others.
That is the thing. Apocalypse is not just survival. It is how you cope when everything has ended.

The day I left journalism, I was to interview a racialized cop—as if that absolved him of anything. I knew I was going to quit so I asked questions such as, how do you feel about arresting people that are just trying to survive a world that requires you to pay to live? and, what does your family think about your choice to exercise power over others? The editor said I can never interview cops again, nor write about them. The article was never published. If I do find it in old hard drives, it's going up on Sightless Scribbles. #Journalism #Police
