There was a clickbait NY Post article that I'd never link to, this article(archive) is more even handed.

3.6 ⭐ chinese restaurant with people complaining about the service and the general tso is only alright. See one review from a Chinese-American whose visiting a friend raving about how good the food was. Then show up and see most tables with Chinese families.

This is the only restaurant you're allowed to go to now.

This made me think of the term sonder. That random ass dude in the vape store has a story. That story has beauty, sadness, joys, and much more. And so do you. Meeting people there is beautiful and rare.

I'd like to try Linux with minimal commitment and no setup. Give it real test drive with some of my most important tools.

If and when I decide to make the switch, I want to have access to my normal windows machine. I'd keep it around if I need it. But prefer if it went away slowly. I want to work with and communicate with windows users with neither of us having to jump through weird hoops.

I want my printer to work.

Problems will come up, but I don't want it to dominate my time.

I'm sure most of you will say not to worry, but until I've logged some real hours, I will.

Here's Simon Willison's write up of how he uses AI. He's been using it for a couple of years and distilled his methods in this article. He also discussed when and how he vibe codes.

Somewhat tangential, but a few years back Bedside Rounds did an episode on how some believed that a powerful enough database could replace a doctor's need to diagnose. There was some fruitful data that suggested a computer could out perform doctors, but as the project developed, further complications arose. Some thought the method was sound and the computing power was lacking. This was during the late sixties and early seventies, so the first AI wave.

Turn on the sound.

I agree with this.

As a leftist, celebrate life and fight so others can have those celebrations. Checking your privilege can be an entrance to that battlefield, but it can also stall out there. And it can feel like something important has been done because of how much feeling it has. But stalling out there does nothing to liberate anyone.

Requiem for a Dying Planet was the sound scape for Werner Herzog's Wild Blue Yonder. A brilliant film backed by this album, I feel that the album stands on its own.

This recording brings together three very disparate elements into a synergistic whole. They are Ernst Reijseger’s cello, the choral singing of the Sardinian group Tenore e Cuncordu de Orosei and the soaring vocals of Senegalese singer Mola Sylla. Each is a singular expression of music from widely differing traditions; together, they’re indescribable.

Requiem For a Dying Planet is not the anticipated death song for the earth, this music is dedicated to this wonderful planet and the beauty of living which could be heavenly if religions would not exist.”

He didn't call for the death of Israel.

Man... This one has lived rent free in my mind for almost thirty years. I had to read this and other German tales in German class.

Its political not because of money but because of people.
