The biggest betrayal of my life is what these assholes did with the internet.

Just a reminder how much the US is involved in Israel's war. Here is a Stratotanker presumably refueling Israeli fighter planes over Israel/Gaza
Yep, exactly... :)
Ahh... sorry
Just a quick note. Blusky actually DDoS itself. It was an internal bug that causes massive amount of requests to cue up until their internal system couldn't handle it anymore. So, while it was technically a DDoS, it wasn't coming from the outside.
One of my biggest frustration with using Python is that it's running in a terminal windows which cannot show images ... well, now it can. I just made a tool that can render pixel-perfect images in the terminal. github.com/Baekdal/Inli...
Heh... I wrote about this exact future in January ... and why it makes AI pointless: baekdal.com/newsletter/a...
Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.
my latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com
Hehe... hmmmm
I was using Claude to fix a tool, and all of a sudden Claude realized who it was talking to... Mind you, I hadn't told it who I am or what I do for a living, but apparently, it connected the dots between the tool I am building and what its training data knew about me.
Should newspapers be called 'oldpapers' ;)
I estimate that I would be 11.2% more productive here ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OAT...
One of the most infuriating things about streaming channels, especially here in Denmark, is that so many movies are just not available. Take The Man from U.N.C.L.E. I hear it's very good... but, none of the streaming channels make it available in Denmark. I can buy or rent it... but not stream.
A HUGE, narrative-breaking moment for the UK car market
New EVs are now cheaper than petrol cars on average, says Autotrader
Last yr CCC said price parity was due by 2028 – and it's already here
And EVs are already MUCH cheaper to run than petrol
For f... sake Google. If I wasn't dying from stress and also if I was a billionaire, I would sue Google over the damage their AI mode us causing. It's quoting me about things I have never said, and contributed it to direct links to articles on my site that doesn't also doesn't say it.
I would be amusing if they introduced a speed limit for petrol/diesel cars, but still allowed electric cars to be unlimited.. ;)
hehe ... ;)
99 Luftballons ... well, okay, maybe just one over my house ;)
A month ago, I said that publishers should not partner with AI companies because the math doesn't add up, and then the CEO of Le Monde said that, for them, it's paying off. So what's going on here? baekdal.com/newsletter/w...
(No, I can't afford that... ;))
I was watching 'Murder on the Orient Express', and I got curious. It turns out that the original Orient Express is no more, but another company "Venice Simplon-Orient-Express" have started offering the same route: Price: Cabins from £63,000 per passenger based on Grand Suite.
So... how is your day? ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=48Fw...
Every time...
New purchase: Three new stainless steel pans ... the only pans I will ever buy. I do not want any pans with non-stick coating because, over time, that coating wears off and ends up in your food/body. Stainless steel pans last forever, super easy to clean, and if you use them right, also don't stick.
F-ing depraved. The IDF edited a photo of the journalist they assassinated and made it look like he was wearing a Hezbollah uniform. They explicitly state that it is legal in Israel to murder journalists. The entire Israeli state is a criminal enterprise.
Don't trust me, just ask Google ;)
What a nice day this is
Running an online backup... estimated time remaining: 1156:28:54 ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
