Lucky SHD 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black and white image showing a glass door with curtains behind it and a rental sign posted inside. The sign, written in Chinese, reads “房屋出租 联系电话: 13714600877,” offering the property for rent with a contact number. The door is part of a tiled building facade, and large leafy plants partially obscure the lower portion. The scene conveys a quiet urban moment, with the sign as the focal point. 中文替代文本： 一张黑白照片，展示一扇玻璃门，门后是窗帘，门内贴有一张出租告示。告示用中文写着：“房屋出租 联系电话: 137…
Lucky SHD 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black and white photo of a single traffic cone placed on a wooden deck in front of a building. The cone is labeled with English and Chinese text reading “APPROPRIATE PARKING P 专用车位,” indicating a designated parking space. The background includes a concrete and wood-paneled wall, a window reflecting light, and a hanging lamp. The composition emphasizes contrast and texture, with the cone standing out against the muted tones of the deck and building. 中文替代文…
Lucky SHD 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black and white street scene in a bustling commercial area of a Chinese city. Storefronts with Chinese signage line the right side, including “北京悦百信亿得发超市” and “首都农资.” People gather around market stalls, and vehicles including a three-wheeled truck labeled “DA7” move through the street. Overhead wires crisscross above, and a cylindrical water tower rises in the background. The image captures everyday urban life with rich detail and movement. 中文替代文本： 一张黑白街…
Lucky SHD 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A monochrome photograph of a rustic wall constructed from large rounded stones, bricks, and a wooden panel.

The image highlights the interplay between natural and man-made materials, with strong contrasts in shape and surface. 中文替代文本： 一张黑白照片，展示一面由大块圆石、砖块和木板构成的乡村风格墙面。木板嵌在一个砖砌的拱形框架中，可能是封闭…

Claude Haiku 4.5 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from the classic science fiction television series "Blake's 7," showing a futuristic spacecraft interior setting. The scene features a woman in the foreground wearing a distinctive maroon and white outfit with a collar detail, holding what appears to be a document or tablet. She has blonde, voluminous 1970s-style hair and is positioned at what looks like a control station or desk. Behind her, the set displays the characteristic…

With Trump struggling to stay awake at meetings, the prevailing image is of a driver asleep at the wheel.
Opinion polls suggest that Americans are turning against him.
Republicans are heading for the exit ahead of congressional contests next November that look bleak for the party.

So for many folks - cancelling their Hilton Honors membership was a way to let the chain know that their handling of the situation in Minneapolis was unacceptable.
Nice techdirt article and template for those perhaps looking to do the same techdirt.com/2026/01/07/dear-h

The image is a screenshot of a webpage with a dark background and light text. The top left corner displays "CLOP^_- LEAKS" in a bold, white, sans-serif font. The rest of the page is dominated by a list of domain names, presented in multiple columns with a light gray sans-serif font. Some domain names have small downward-pointing arrows next to them, suggesting they are dropdown menus. Below the extensive list of domain names, there is a section with contact and industry information for "Hilton…

All the NASA s/c images of #3IATLAS shared today (and some more) can be found at science.nasa.gov/solar-system/ now - including this spectrum from the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph on MAVEN taken on 28 September, showing hydrogen emitted from different sources, namely the comet (dim spot on the far left), hydrogen from Mars (bright emission on the right), and hydrogen flowing through our solar system between the planets (dim emission in the middle).

The 2025 Web Almanac mistook me.
I did *not* say LLMs provide better image descriptions. I cited SeeingAI and Be My Eyes as tools for undescribed IRL uses.
I said LLM-generated captions could be better than craptions. I mentioned abstracts / reading-level changes, which could be summaries?
But “better” image descriptions is right out.

Adrian Roselli acknowledges that recent advances in computer vision and LLMs have brought real benefits, such as better image descriptions and improved captions and summaries. However, he argues these tools still lack context and authorship. They can’t know why content was created, what a joke or meme depends on, or how an interface is meant to work. Their descriptions and code suggestions can easily miss the point or mislead users.

ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photograph of a broken wooden structure made of intersecting beams, barbed wire, and mesh fencing. The background is a rough concrete wall, and dried vines hang from the right side. The composition evokes themes of decay, resilience, and contrast between nature and human-made elements. 中文替代文字： 一张黑白照片，画面是一座由木梁、铁丝网和铁丝构成的破旧结构，梁木交错排列。背景是一面粗糙的混凝土墙，右侧垂挂着干枯的藤蔓。整体构图传达出衰败与坚韧的主题，以及自然与人造元素之间的对比。
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A grayscale photo showing a large stack of mesh bags filled with ears of corn. The bags are tightly packed and stacked high, forming a wall-like structure. At the top, dried corn husks hang down, and a dark cloth or tarp partially covers the stack. The setting appears to be outdoors or semi-covered, possibly near a storage facility. The image highlights agricultural abundance and rustic textures. 中文替代文字： 一张黑白照片，画面是一大堆装满玉米的网袋，紧密堆叠成墙状结构。顶部垂挂着干玉米皮，一块深色布或帆布部分覆盖着玉米堆。场…

The scene evokes a quiet, nostalgic atmosphere, blending urban texture with natural growth. 中文替代文字： 一张黑白照片，画面是一扇拉上窗帘的玻璃门，门内贴着一张出租告示，写有“防屋出租”和联系电话。门前长满了大片叶子的植物，部分遮挡了视线。建筑…
ERA 100 (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo of a tiled wall with a grid pattern. On the left, a dense bundle of thin branches leans against the wall, some forming a triangular wire structure. In the top right corner, more branches cast intricate shadows across the tiles. The shadows create a layered, abstract texture. At the bottom right, partially visible objects—possibly paper or fabric—add subtle contrast. The overall composition emphasizes geometry, texture, and the interplay of…
