You know, this podcast felt timely. C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength may not be the most accessible book, but he addresses the spirit of 'progress' and 'innovation' that I see used to justify AI. I won't say AI doesn't have uses, but the problems we need to solve don't need more tech, they need more compassion and generosity and kindness. It's just the same old story of silicon valley greed. If you decide to listen I hope you enjoy

Repubblica.it: Ecco perché il blocco Usa di Hormuz rischia di devastare il mercato energetico internazionale

Già c’è stata una nuova impennata del petrolio. Il paradosso: ogni tentativo di forzare la riapertura dello Stretto farà consolidare la sua chiusura di fatto, trasformando un passaggio internazionale in un terreno di confronto permanente, dove ogni nave diventa un caso politico. L’incognita di una mossa di Teheran su Bab el-Mandeb

Here’s why the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz risks devastating the international energy market.

There has already been a new surge in oil prices. The paradox: every attempt to force the reopening of the Strait will consolidate its de facto closure, transforming an international passage into a permanent battleground, where every ship becomes a political case. The uncertainty of a move by Tehran on Bab el-Mandeb.

Aujourd'hui, c'était la première fois que faisais une captation vidéo de mon travail. Avec très peu de temps et les moyens du bord.

Le but : convaincre des jurys de me laisser représenter la France au jeux de la francophonie en 2027.

Cela mériterait un deuxième essai. Mais je n'ai pas le temps. et qui ne tente rien...

Alright fellow readers. Who’s read #RFKuang? #Katabasis?

For the life of me, I cannot get through it. I don’t often #DNF books (and I don’t have any issue with DNFing books) so it’s been odd for me.

I assumed I just wasn’t in the mood maybe, or experiencing the usual disorientation at the beginning of any new story and vibe.

I’ve tried four separate times since the book has released…and I just… can’t.

I liked #ThePoppyWar, and #Babel

Have you read Katabasis? (No spoilers plz) Am I alone in feeling this?

#AmReading #bookstodon

OK, I am stuck with #texlatex, specifically #babel. May I invoke the mighty #fedibrain for some help? #boosts welcome.

Thing is, I am writing a thesis on a Linux Mint 22.3 laptop. Some of the LaTeX packages are quite old, eg. Babel is nearly two years behind. The document is mainly in nynorsk, but has sections in many other languages, both LTR and RTL. I have used Polyglossia up until now. It works of sorts, but not for everything, eg. for bilingual text in a heading.
