Never forget, if you plan cities for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan cities for people and places, you get people and places. Plan for the city you want. HT Fred Kent

Today I saw a Cybertruck in person. Believe me when I say that pictures don't make it justice. It's at least 10 times uglier than you think.

1. Montana’s House has passed an indecent exposure bill that applies only to trans people. It sets out one standard for cis people that requires intent, and another for trans people that does not. Trans Rep. Zephyr delivered scathing remarks. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I am severely disappointed by the variety of peanut butter in offer. Every single one had added sugar and/or salt. I will need to try a different supermarket.

One wrinkle of this debacle is how this is such a massive government overreach by not letting individual sports organisations decide by themselves if they are going to allow transgender athletes. Fucking hypocrites […]

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

The utter SHOCK of drinking coffee here in the US after getting used to #Melbourne's coffee. 😮 It's like trying the #python package ecosystem after using #RStats for so long.

Left Melbourne on February 26 at 1pm, spent an ungodly amount of hours on two planes and three airports and now I'm arriving to Boulder the same day just a few hours later. Timezones and air travel is weird.

PSA: peanut butter with Sriracha sauce is a pretty good combination.

This guy is so patently wrong and ignorant of everything he's saying but also so confident... are we sure he's not an #LLM? https://sauropods.win/@futurebird/114056159030789865

Today's been a ride.

So much for "free-speech absolutist" #PresidentMusk #ElonTrump #FreeSpeech #Zelensky

A few days ago I noticed that my digital piano didn't have sympathetic resonance. In a real piano, when you press a key, its vibrations will affect other strings and some of them will try to resonate and vibrate if not muted. In a normal digital piano, when you press a key, it tells the […]

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can. #InducedDemand

It's so fucked up to see a conference adding even more barriers to attendance. Also they only give letters to authors and organisers, not to regular attendees. Imagine having a talk accepted only to then be ransacked for more money because you need a VISA […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Would it be possible to implement a lapply syntax like this in #Rstats? ``` x |> lapply() |> fun() ```

MSFT apparently reported the highest productivity per employee. I sure hope they also reported the highest salaries per employee, them. https://toot.cat/@zkat/114012829038854031

I had a face-to-face encounter with a drop bear. I miraculously survived!

The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website. This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions. https://floor796.com I don't […]

Am I the only person in the world that has issues with flat scrollwheels? My finger can't get a proper grip and I need to press hard to scroll, leading to accidental middle clicks and finger fatigue.

Has something been changed in #Ubuntu recently that prevents me to disable middle click paste? I've been noticing random chunks of code that shouldn't be there and realised that I was accidentally middle clicking. I'm pretty sure this wasn't happening before and that I had disabled that […]

Hey, #python folks. What is the best current plotting library? And what is the best tutorial to learn it? #Datadon

I've made the executive decision that life's too short to peel carrots.

Saw the #Melbourne Sun today and immediately realized that there must've been a volcanic eruption or something. Close: forest fires in the Grampians.

It's interesting how so many countries have some mostly disgusting food or beverage that is an acquired taste and serve as a icon of national pride. Argentina has mate, Australia has Vegemite, Great Britain has British food....

Interesting illustration of how the "thinking" step is kind of bullshit. #DeepSeek gets the wrong answer in the "think" step and then returns the right answer in the next step.

So apparently deepseek was in preview at least a month ago, so it's capabilities and architecture were already known. How is it then that Nvidia's stock crashed so hard right after the release? Surely if the market was an efficient way of distributing information and whatever, then investors […]

Well, #deepkseek tried its best, I guess... #LLM #AI

Trying out the hot #LLM. My first though was that it's curious that it "thinks" in English even if I prompt in Spanish.
