From #MariaShriver #SundayPaper
“…we all have a choice in life regarding how we want to deal with hard times. We can use them to fine-tune our spirituality and life skills, or we can use them to become bitter, revengeful, and resistant to change.
The choice, it said, belongs to us.”Happy, not so happy, okay as we can be, Sunday. May we choose reason over division, healthy dialogue over vitriol and of course love over hate. Amen.

There is money in death. Anduril Industries, a defence tech startup, just pulled in $1.5 billion in funding, shooting their valuation up to a whopping $14 billion. Honestly, this just feels like more money being pumped into the military-industrial "kill all others" complex. Do we need another mega-death company? - Anduril Raises $1.5 Billion to Rebuild the Arsenal of Democracy
The automotive industry is outdoing itself with this new trend: subscription-based features in vehicles. Because, of course, who wouldn’t want to pay a monthly fee to use the heated seats they already paid for? According to Autocar, big brands like Hyundai, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi are all in on this brilliant idea. They’ve decided that certain car functions—ones that used to just come with the car—should now be hidden behind a paywall. - Audi Will Paywall More Software Features Starting Next Year
Bill Gates has some interesting ideas about the future of work. He’s suggesting that artificial intelligence might actually make a three-day workweek a reality! According to Business Insider, Gates isn’t saying AI will take our jobs but instead, he believes AI will transform them, making it possible for us to work less while machines handle all the boring stuff. - Forget the 4-Day Week – Bill Gates Thinks We Should Aim for 3 Days at Work
Looks like I might need to add another Raspberry Pi to the collection. The Raspberry Pi Foundation just dropped the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, and it’s packing some serious upgrades while still holding onto that sweet $5 price tag. Bloomberg’s got the scoop on this, and honestly, it’s hard not to get excited. We’re talking dual-core ARM Cortex-M33 processors, a bump in RAM and storage, and even some enhanced security features like a signed boot process. This is a pretty big leap forward for the Pi lineup, and I can already think of a dozen projects I’d love to try out with this little powerhouse. - Raspberry Pi Pico 2, our new $5 microcontroller board, on sale now

From Burnout to Balance: AI-Enhanced Work Models: Upwork's research highlights the rise of AI-enhanced work models, aiming to balance productivity and employee well-being. Executives are pressuring employees to boost productivity to meet economic challenges, declaring 2023 the "Year of Efficiency." Generative AI, seen as a tool for increasing output, is now widely mandated or encouraged1. A McKinsey report shows CEOs prioritising cost-cutting to prepare for economic recovery. Workers feel overwhelmed. Despite AI’s potential, many employees report increased workloads and burnout, with 71% feeling strained and 1⁄3 considering quitting.
- Banking, finance, and pharmaceutical industries are adopting a more cautious approach to AI, primarily due to the significant risks to their intellectual property and other regulatory concerns. ↩

Sunday Paper - Backups
The article by Jim Kasson at Lensrentals discusses the transition from film to digital photography and the need for a different approach by backing up digital images rather than archiving them. Archiving involves storing images offline and often results in data loss due to media degradation and obsolescence. In contrast, backing up means keeping images on a hard drive and making additional copies on various media. This method ensures data safety and easier access. Similar to my approach, [...]

Former Google DeepMind ane OpenAI employees demand transparency and accountability from AI companies on risk issues.
AI companies have strong financial incentives to avoid effective oversight, and we do not believe bespoke structures of corporate governance are sufficient to change this.
AI companies possess substantial non-public information about the capabilities and limitations of their systems, the adequacy of their protective measures, and the risk levels of different kinds of harm. However, they currently have only weak obligations to share some of this information with governments, and none with civil society. We do not think they can all be relied upon to share it voluntarily.
So long as there is no effective government oversight of these corporations, current and former employees are among the few people who can hold them accountable to the public. – A Right to Warn about Advanced Artificial Intelligence

NPR shares a heartwarming story about Jamaican author Juleus Ghunta, who faced reading challenges in his youth until a compassionate young teacher recognised his potential. He is currently working on his first full-length collection of poetry.

The Online Photographer (TOP) handles a topic, depth of field, that I have wanted to write about for a while but I know their version is less offensive than what I would have written. I admit that I was also guilty in the past of spreading the equivalent aperture myth.
First, I've observed (over many years of observing) that EA is almost always asserted (not always, so don't take offense, please) as an argument against smaller-than-FF sensors, and of the superiority of FF sensors and fast lenses. Second, people seldom point out that you can get even shallower DoF with larger-than-FF formats. The reason for the latter is probably because shallow DoF isn't actually the point. Showing that one's camera is cooler and mo bettah and more he-man than gnarly liddle-sensor cameras and baby zooms is the point. Third are all those people who shoot wide open all the time even when they shouldn't, getting important areas of the image (like the dog's nose) out of focus even when more DoF would be better for the picture.

After reading this old TOP post by Mike, I have decided to learn a new macOS or Lightroom short every day until the end of the month.
I damn sure don't know everything Photoshop can do. Furthermore, I'm secretly convinced no one does. That's right...my superstitious, primitive, ignorant folk belief is that there is not one being in the Universe who knows everything Photoshop is capable of. The people who design it sure don't, because they keep adding other ways to do things it can already do. I don't think even AI can know. As in Arthur C. Clarke's short story "The Nine Billion Names of God," perhaps the Universe will end as soon as any single being masters Photoshop completely. Overhead, without any fuss, the stars will go out. I'm joking. Kinda joking. Also a tiny bit…not.In the Era of Tech, Ignorance is Ordinary

I can relate to what Brett wrote. Please click through to read his entire post.
… I, at the age of 45, do not have the energy and “hustle” required to make it on new platforms. I will continue doing what I’m doing, and will probably eventually follow my peers into digital obscurity. It’s not that I steadfastly refuse to adapt to new things, I try new things all the time, it’s that these platforms have come to reward behavior I don’t think is beneficial to the end user, and I tend to opt out. I’m not going to “hustle” to make more money for someone else, which is the way we’ve allowed everything to become structured.Back in my day… some thoughts on blogging then and now by Brett Terpstra

Clare Marie Schneider on NPR writes about how the new etiquette for tipping has evolved significantly, with businesses that traditionally did not ask for tips now requesting them, including grocery stores, self-checkout machines, and fast food restaurants. If in doubt, asking the service provider directly.New Rules in Tipping Etiquette
I love reading Seth Godin’s blog.
There’s a long-time tension between the factory owner and the worker. The factory owner wants to take the maximum amount of labor in exchange the lowest amount of compensation. The worker often responds by playing defense and not letting the boss disrespect them.
Bosses invented employee loyalty, not employees.Seth Godin

I think these attacks on Apple, boil down to jealousy. As a consumer, I've never once said, "I want more app store competition."
… the EC has a problem with Apple doing any vetting whatsoever on apps distributed outside the App Store. The EC will take care of making sure malware, phishing, scams, clones, IP rip-offs, and pirated apps aren’t getting through. This also means that apps distributed outside the app store will be able to use private APIs. One can argue that what Apple is calling “notarization” in its DMA compliance plan is actually just a less extensive form of app review, but without this step, Apple has no oversight over software distributed outside the store at all. That seems to be exactly what the EC is saying the DMA demands. I don’t think this is going to go well. Daring Fireball
It's an old NPR article. Learning about the history of the world, I sometimes get angry.
While the U.S. officially left Haiti in 1934, it continued to control Haiti's public finances until 1947, siphoning away around 40% of Haiti's national income to service debt repayments to the U.S. and France.
Much of this debt to France was the legacy of what the University of Virginia scholar Marlene Daut calls "the greatest heist in history": surrounded by French gunboats, a newly independent Haiti was forced to pay its slaveholders reparations. You read that correctly. It was the former slaves of Haiti, not the French slaveholders, who were forced to pay reparations. Haitians compensated their oppressors and their oppressors' descendants for the privilege of being free. It took Haiti more than a century to pay the reparation debts off. Greg Rosalsky
It seems I may have to rethink my plans to live like a digital nomand.
If you’re planning on working remotely from another country, you first need to determine if that country offers a digital nomad visa (or similar) and that they allow a citizen from your home country to apply for that visa.
If the answer to both of those is yes, then yes, it’s legal, you can “work remotely”… but sadly, in a lot of cases, not for some U.S. tech companies.
In AI Roundup: The Bad, the Ugly, and the Pretty Cool, Jeffrey Zeldman compiles a list of articles discussing the current state of AI, addressing both its potential and challenges. The article highlight concerns about AI's environmental impact, its prevalence in various industries leading to a tech bubble, and the importance of AI literacy. The links provided offer insights into different aspects of AI, including its energy consumption, educational opportunities, and the need for critical evaluation and understanding of AI technologies.
Most of the biggest YouTubers…that have channels focused about photography, aren’t even the best photographers…in the world, so stop looking at them for inspiration. I’m not trying not trash these people, I’m not trying to put myself on a pedestal, my ultimate goal is to help you improve. They don’t have to be good at photography…they have to be good at YouTube. They’re not making their income from photography, they’re making them income in talking about photography.Juston Mott

Sunday Paper
Ben Werdmuller experiences burnout from social media and vows to prioritize meaningful tasks. Pi competes with GPT-4 and aims for user progress-based revenue.

To mitigate burnout, I have my Apple devices set to limit my social media, whether web or native apps, to just 1 hour per day. In Social, I love you, but you’re bringing me down Ben Werdmuller realises he's burned out, stressed, and sleepless due to excessive social media use. He considers the overwhelming volume of platforms, the changing nature of social media, and his personal goals. He plans to focus more on meaningful tasks and writing for himself to reclaim his attention and autonomy.
Generative AI is advancing quickly with many players in the market. Pi, an AI assistant by Inflection, now competes with GPT-4, matching quality with lower compute usage. CEO Suleyman cites Pi's growth to 1 million daily users, envisioning a paid model based on user progress. However, he cautions against humanizing AI. Despite AI's progress, pioneers like Suleyman urge cautious advancement amidst potential pitfalls.

I recently discovered J.L. Gatewood writing but his last blog posts about the GitHub kerfuffle over connecting two social media platforms has been spot on with my thinking about the subject.
The preamble to On The Subject Of Connecting Federate Social Media Networks sets up the rest of his post:
The past few days on the Fediverse have served to remind me a few things:
- The internet is as smart and as ignorant (and everything in between) as the macrocosm known as “human civilization” reflects upon it.
- Sometimes the victims will become the victimizers in any given situation, usually without them being aware of it.
- Upon pointing it out to said type above, instead of working to acknowledge and understand, they will double-down under the guise of righteousness, again unwittingly using the exact playbook that they had been persecuted under at some point in the past.
- As usual, any attempt by a rational third party to diffuse whatever situation breaking out on the internet will lead to a wider conflict/argument/brigade session where everyone winds up digging their heels in and missing entirely the point.
- And finally, as usual, there’s a 95% chance it was started by someone who was all to ready to be triggered by anything and everything so they could start some shit on the internet at that moment.
Read Ryan’s reflection on the experience:
The scope of the fediverse has been hotly debated recently. Are we a big fedi? Or a small fedi? Are instances just nodes? Or networked communities? Which Camp of Mastodon are we in? How far should our replies travel? How about our blog posts and Bluesky skeets? Should we welcome Threads? Or block them?
Should we open the fediverse to everyone, let them exercise freedom of association, embrace the inevitable Eternal September, and get good at managing the problems? Or should we learn from Twitter that a “global town square” has big downsides, try to prevent those harms from the beginning, and only expand online communities once we have their consent?
Should there be one internet? Or multiple, sometimes separate internets?
What is an oligarch and why has the USA become one? What happened to "...government of the people, by the people, for the people"? In part 7 of his series, former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich writes about how concentrated wealth and power are undermining US democracy.
The “OLIGARCHY” comes from the Greek word oligarkhes, meaning “few to rule or command.” It refers to a government of and by a few exceedingly rich people or families who control the major institutions of society, and therefore have the most power over other people’s lives. - How America’s oligarchy has paved the road to fascism (Why American capitalism is so rotten, Part 7)
Writer James Shelly asks a very important question: "What’s the fun in writing on the internet anymore?"
You could copy and paste this article into ChatGPT and say, “Please rewrite and paraphrase this blog post in such a way as to keep its main points and observations, but substantively reconfigure the text to make the original version undetectable.” And then, just like that, you have content for your own blog. So easy.
Or you could just copy the contents of this page and paste it into a site like plagiarism-remover.com so you could, as advertised, “Easily Convert Your Plagiarism article Into Plagiarism Free article.” Or you could use Spinbot. Or Jasper. Or QuillBot. Or Paraphraser. And so on.

What is the American Dream?
I would argue that democracy in the US, if it can be said to still exist, is weakened by decades corruption. It has been eroded to a thin veneer with little substance because the substance of democracy is the people. And the majority of people of the US stopped caring decades ago. Any sense of civic responsibility, of active citizenship has been eroded by decades of apathy. The truth is, America traded that responsibility for something shiny, something convenient: The American Dream. - The substance of democracy is us. To keep it we need to work for it everyday by @Denny
One developer's well meaning effort to bridge two communities has led to condemnation from both.
Bluesky is on the verge of federating its AT Protocol, meaning that anyone will be able to set up a server and make their own social network using the open source software; each individual server will be able to communicate with the others, requiring a user to have just one account across all the different social networks on the protocol. But Mastodon uses a different protocol called ActivityPub, meaning that Bluesky and Mastodon users cannot natively interact.
Turns out, some Mastodon users like it that way. - Bluesky and Mastodon users are having a fight that could shape the next generation of social media
I believe there might be some resistance. I didn't get my bike for the daily commute. The reason was my bad knees. And really, how would they even enforce such a thing? Picture this: police officers on bikes, stopping folks out for a ride? It's hard to imagine.
Serious crashes involving those modes are so relatively rare, though — the National Transportation Safety Board recorded just 119 e-bike-involved fatalities between 2017 and 2021 vs. the 192,709 caused by drivers — that advocates say the legislation would do little more than increase already-steep barriers to human-scaled mobility posed by traffic violence, while undermining the climate, equity, and safety goals that low-speed modes can help communities reach. - Why Every E-Biker Should Be Worried About NJ's Proposed Micromobility Insurance Law

I have read some of Seth Godin's books and was1 an avid reader of his daily blog posts. The blog posts always contain bits of wisdom. In his post, As slow as possible, Seth reminds us that in a fast-paced world, embracing time's slow journey requires discipline.
Mastering exposure is key for better results in film photography, ensuring fidelity, colour control, and reducing post-processing work. In this 2022 post, How to Make Perfect Exposures on Film, Analog Cafe’s Dmitri offers a guide that covers tools, techniques, and the impact of various film types and dynamic ranges.
I think that career politicians (perhaps aided by late capitalism)2 have hijacked current forms of democracy and no longer work to represent the will of the people. A short video on sortition suggests an alternative to elections.
- Two pre-COVID pandemic surgeries and the pandemic itself disrupted my "normal" in so many ways. I am slowly returning to certain habits as part of a new normal. Reading and reflecting on Seth’s daily blog was part of my old normal. ↩
- The term late capitalism was first used by German economist Werner Sombart. ↩

In the past, I enjoyed sharing interesting web finds through my weekly Sunday Paper blog posts. Rather than scattering these links on social media, I would bundle them up with my pithy commentary for the Sunday Paper. My last Sunday Paper post was back in January 2020. Despite undergoing surgeries in 2018 and 2019, I kept this routine uninterrupted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic was a jolt, trapping me at home and inundating me with endless grim news updates of deaths. It's been a challenging journey, but I'm ready to revive this series and hope to maintain consistency.
Does gear matter?: Arun Venkatesan discusses the evolving significance of camera gear in his photography. He reflects on his journey through four stages of competence, from valuing gear highly to appreciating the creative potential within simpler setups.
Nearly 25,000 tech workers were laid off in the first weeks of 2024. Why is that?: In 2024, despite a rebounding economy, 25,000 tech workers were laid off, driven by a herd mentality, stock price concerns, and social contagion among tech companies. Why?

... the typical new American single-family home has become surprisingly luxurious, if not quite so swank as Manhattan’s glassy spires. Newly built houses in the U.S. are among the largest in the world, and their size-per-resident has nearly doubled in the past 50 years. And the bathrooms have multiplied. In the early ’70s, 40 percent of new single-family houses had 1.5 bathrooms or fewer; today, just 4 percent do. The mansions of the ’70s would be the typical new homes of the 2020s.
... Across the country, the supply of housing hasn’t kept up with population growth. Single-family-home sales are stuck at 1996 levels, even though the United States has added 60 million people—or two Texases—since the mid-’90s. The undersupply of housing has become one of the most important stories in economics in the past decade. It explains why Americans are less likely to move, why social mobility has declined, why regional inequality has increased, why entrepreneurship continues to fall, why wealth inequality has skyrocketed, and why certain neighborhoods have higher poverty and worse health.
What makes a hero?
Consider Robert O'Donnell, who rose to fame as the man who struggled down a narrow well to rescue Baby Jessica as a captivated nation watched, and who killed himself just days after seeing footage of rescue workers at the site of the Oklahoma City Bombing. He told his mother When those rescuers are through, they're going to need lots of help. I don't mean for a couple of days or weeks, but for years. Four days later he shot himself in the head, leaving a suicide note that read, I'm sorry to check out this way. But life sucks.

I'm not a boomer, I'm Gen X. But it seems not to matter. "Ok, boomer" is an ageist phrase that gets lobbed at anyone born before 1981. Just like the "snowflake" and avocado toast memes, this one needs to stop
Like much of online culture, “OK Boomer” tells us something about the cultural dominance of upper-middle-class youth. These young people are surrounded by baby boomers who’ve “hoarded all the wealth” and polluted the planet in the process. They haven’t had to witness – or deal with the ramifications of – old age and precarity for millions of working people in that generational cohort. Instead, they get to revel without self-reflection in oedipal angst about their elders – many of whom were kind enough to pass them their ill-gotten privileges.
...
Far from sitting atop riches, many [Boomers] never saw their household wealth recover after the Great Recession. They were victims of corporate raiders, neoliberal deregulation and predatory loans – and the situation is even more dire for those of them who are black and brown.With this in mind, let’s retranslate the meme Lorenz is championing.
Boomer: “I can’t afford to live on social security. My promised pension disappeared. I might need to get out of retirement and start working part time again. I worry about the future.”
“OK Boomer.”?
