Me: "Why am I so tired after doing basic tasks?"

Also me: *remembers I'm a spoonie*

Me: "Oh yeah 😅"

Going back to bed for an hour or so to try to recover energy to do other tasks 🥱😴

To make an omelette, you gotta break a few legs. Otherwise, you just get scrambled eggs instead.

Not even a one-liner: the weekly challenge today is "Write a script to return the running sum of the given array. Input: @int = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5); Output: (1, 3, 6, 10, 15)"

There is a metaoperator in #RakuLang for that (YAY #BatteriesIncluded):

It's the `[\]` metaoperator, that applies to another operator and returns the running reduction to another operation. So, the answer to the challenge is ```sub runinng-sum(@_) { [\+] @_ }```

“Criminals have unregulated access to the technology, and they exploit it to cause harm to the community. It follows that law enforcement would need to adopt the same AI technology"

AI privacy fears 'unsubstantiated and unwarranted': SA Police

South Australia’s regulatory response to AI must not become the victim of “unsubstantiated and unwarranted” privacy concerns that could hinder important public safety work, the state’s policing agency has warned. The South Australian Police Force (SAPOL) has also talked up the technology’s potential to protect civil liberties by avoiding “random, widespread stop and search” activities during mass gathering or special events. Fronting a hearing of the ongoing parliamentary inquiry into AI on Thursday, Assistant Commissioner John Venditto said the proliferation of AI meant there was an increasing need for SAPOL to deploy capabilities of its own.

The American Anthropological Association issued a statement on why they chose not to have a proposed lecture coming up, and it kicks ass.

"The function of the “gender critical” scholarship advocated in this session, like the function of the “race science” of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is to advance a “scientific” reason to question the humanity of already marginalized groups of people, in this case, those who exist outside a strict and narrow sex / gender binary."
