“My hot take on “15 minute cities” is if you can get to the coffee shop within fifteen minutes, but the barrista who makes your drink can’t afford to live closer than a half-hour away, then you live in a theme park.” - Gareth Klieber #cities #urbanism

Amazing how many brilliant scientists will look at an LLM "passing" a standardized test and think, "wow, this computer is very smart" and not "standardized tests are very bad at measuring intelligence"

“Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide…”

A Utah parent just became the hero america needs

Using draconian Christian conservative laws that republicans use to ban books

…in order to ban the Bible

“You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic”

We need a bat-signal for heroes like this…

So despite being in charge and ultimately the guy who decided to get my entire company using JIRA I must admit… I hate it… As with many GUIs just way too much clicking and waiting and im too impatient.

Anyway, so I decided to install jira-cli ( https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli ) and I cant tell you how much nicer this is, certainly improves my stress levels…

If anyone is curious this is what a full workflow from ticket creation to completion looks like for me. Keep in mind if you are on a JIRA instance that isnt customized you can probably get by with fewer steps.

Ayn Rand cobró pensión tras oponerse durante décadas a su existencia. ¿Cambió de opinión acaso? No, simplemente era egoísta y promovía el egoísmo como única virtud.

No es que no vean la relación entre contribuir y recibir, es que no quieren contribuir pero si recibir. Y sobre todo, no quieren que los pobres reciban porque cuanto más desesperados, más tragan.

Pi Day is a fake holiday that exploits a universal beloved mathematical constant to promote US-style date formats.

CATHOLIC CHURCH: No meat on Fridays
PEOPLE: Ok so no eggs for breakfast
CC: No, eggs are ok
P: But eggs are chicken
CC: Not until they hatch
P: So the thing isn't the thing until it's born?
CC: Correct—um, no, wait.

@olivia Spot on:

“Chomsky sees the use of ChatGPT as “basically high-tech plagiarism” and “a way of avoiding learning.” He likens its rise to that of the smartphone: many students “sit there having a chat with somebody on their iPhone. One way to deal with that is to ban iPhones; another way to do it is to make the class interesting.””

Final results on this National Ranking on Madrid, Spain.

After passing bouts (poules) got number 126 out of 209.

The first 16 got extent to next day, so I got into 128 table (competition with direct elimination), matching against the number 35. 😰

Unfortunately I haven't won't that match, so I'm heading to the shower 😂

Me queda conseguir las piezas que faltaban de las aletas, que ésas no he podido sustituirlas.

Este curioso artilugio es un "resucitador de canarios", una jaula usada por los mineros del carbón desarrollada a finales del siglo XIX. Los mineros les acababan pillando cariño a los pajaritos, así que idearon una jaula conectada a un tanque de oxígeno. Cuando advertían que el canario estaba inconsciente, la jaula se sellaba y se abría el tanque, reanimando al animal.

“Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, that’s not satire, it’s bullying.”
-Terry Pratchett.

Las personas más ricas son las que más contaminan dentro de una ciudad (y fuera también, aunque sus efectos se noten menos) y las personas más pobres son quienes más sufren los impactos negativos de esa contaminación.

Esto es cierto para todo tipo de sociedad de media o alta desigualdad social (que son todas, por cierto), para todo tipo de urbanismo y para todo tipo de regímenes políticos. Toma ya.

En algún momento entre ahora mismo y dentro de una década publicaré una batería de artículos de chorrocientas palabras con una lista de docenas de artículos con estas movidas. Esto son solo pinceladas.

Ah, y será gratis y CC. 😘
