#ThrowbackThursday to a tiny little Tommy at a few months old. The little puppy Kong he loved, his first sploot when he still had the black puppy hair, and him posing with his first victim- err, toys. #CorgiCrew #Tomtom

The Hardware Signal Processor (HSP) is pretty neat. The use case here is for low-power sensor signal processing, but the documentation lists a forthcoming STM32H7 that will also have the peripheral. That might finally replace my SHARC floating point DSPs.

People tend to think of functional illiteracy as just being unable to read words aloud or such.

What it *really* means is such as not being able to perceive subtext, context, understand who the audience of something may be, etc.

Media illiteracy is fundamentally part of functional illiteracy.

"A Blue Jay stands poised on the edge of a weathered wooden surface, its body angled as if caught mid‑decision—half ready to leap, half intent on whatever has captured its attention below. The bird’s head tilts downward, crest slightly lowered, giving the impression of sharp focus and quiet calculation.

Its plumage is a tapestry of blues: soft sky‑blue along the back, deeper cobalt across the wings, and bold black barring that forms crisp, geometric patterns. The white patches on its face and throat glow against the darker markings, creating a mask‑like contrast that makes the eye appear bright and alert.

The tail is lifted high, fanned just enough to show the alternating bands of blue, black, and white. Sunlight catches the feathers, revealing their fine texture—each one edged with delicate detail.

Behind the bird, the background dissolves into a smooth blur of muted browns and greens, making the Blue Jay the unmistakable center of attention. The shallow depth of field gives the scene a sense of intimacy, as if the viewer is standing only inches away, sharing a quiet moment with a restless, intelligent creature.

The photograph bears the signature “© Swede’s Photographs” in the upper right corner, a subtle mark that doesn’t distract from the bird’s commanding presence." - Microsoft Copilot

Edge of the Perch

Here is a sharp image of a Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata). I’m not entirely sure what it was preparing to do,

I wholeheartedly recommend this opportunity. My first job after graduating was doing a survey of the ancient woods of E Wales. It’s prime botanising & you can watch kites & owls to your hearts content. If you know anyone with botanical qualifications let them know!

The Talmud is very clear on this. The rabbis considered the trolley problem long before it was known as such. If you’re in a position where you have to make that kind of choice you attack the person demanding it.

His favorite term, 'token tumbler,' doesn't roll off my fingers as easily as some other disparaging terms for AI, but calling it 'intrusive autocomplete' is my best alternative, and that also feels clunky.

It so often demonstrated that when fear activates our baser instincts, it leads us to serve or contribute to our society/fellow humans. For most of our existence, the threat of being excluded from mutualistic/polite society was the entire motive for participating in it.

It hallucinated a run of SVTs on me, in an otherwise normal stretch. My cardiologist didn't need any coffee on our appointment that day. 0.0;;

Thankfully he had the ECG strips to compare it to, but if he hadn't gotten those records in time...
