This isn't a classic Isle of Wight view, but it's a shot that my husband has been after for years.
The moon rising behind All Saints in Newchurch inspired him to bring out the telephoto lens and capture the view from a mile and a half away. He's thrilled that he captured it perfectly between the tree and the pinnacle on the roof next to the church spire. I wouldn't notice such things, but it's precisely what he wanted! This was last night, it was too cloudy on Friday #Photography #Moonrise

I asked my German friend to draw me an informational diagram.

“Venn?" he asked.

I replied, “As soon as you can.”

The Mothership Vortex.

Some time ago I hypothesized that all Democratic Senators are using the same text-spam contractor, and wondered whether there was some way to block the entire network. This resulted in many, many replies from people incorrecting me and each other with their zero-information theories.

Well, I was right. They are all using the same contractor. But the reality is even more horrible than you probably imagined.

I'm off to my much-needed bed. Before I go, I'd like to express my admiration for Iceland and its leaders. I could live happily with people like this...

"45% of coders say that debugging AI code takes longer than writing the code without AI at all." I think this would have to be my fall-back. Just •tell• the bosses I'm using the AI & then do it by hand. 🤦

What if there are no "best practices" when using generative AI for research?

What if all use of genAI is inherently harmful?

What if I don't want to participate in research using generative AI?

These questions seem to be completely off the table now.

This feels like 2006 all over again, when everyone everywhere seemingly thought they had to use corporate social media for their professional activities.
