Has somebody else encountered the following TTRPG paradox?
You are in 2 to 4 games. Because of life, stuff and session cancellation, you will play max two sessions a week, most of the time only one, and sometimes you'll have several weeks without any session.
You add one game.
Why? Because of all that white space in your schedule!
Suddenly, you have up to 5–7 sessions a week as the stars align and all your GMs and fellow players manage to get their schedules in ord…

Cool newer images for mongolia
Following up on https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/lhirlimann/diary/404921, I discovered today that newer/better aerial imagery for some parts of Mongolia were available, hence doing me doing some edits.

Irony: after glancing at news stories like this, decent human beings feeling a strong urge to round up Farage, Yaxley-Lennon and all the other revolting far-right imbeciles, from street thugs to Parliament, and stick 'em all in prison camps on a remote Scottish island until they get well again.
(This is not original, it's just the Tolerance Paradox.)

Imagine:
You are these parent of an adorable 4-year-old kid. They have made a toy airplane out of spare cardboard. Sadly, during play the wing has fallen off. You, a wise parent, produce a piece of duct tape and tape it back on. Your kid asks: "but what if the tape breaks, or the other wing falls off?" Dutifully, and with a completely serious manner, you duct tape the other wing, and then with a sharpie you write "Please DO NOT fall off!" on each wing. "There," you say, now the wings will not fall off. "
Your child happily returns to their play.
Imagine:
You are boarding a Boeing airplane for an intercontinental flight. Just the other day you were reading news about the emergency exit door falling off a Boeing airplane during flight. Thankfully nobody was injured in that incident, but a passenger could have been sucked out the gap and killed. As you walk down the aisle towards your seat at the back, you notice that around the emergency exit door of this plane, there are some scratch marks. It looks like it might not be 100% seated in place. You see several rolls worth of duct tape slapped onto the gaps between the door and the frame. In sharpie, someone has written "Please DO NOT fall off!" on the duct tape.
This is a post about #Agentic #AI.
To clarify: there are a host of reasons why using Claude Code is unethical in the first place, besides the fact that its a danger to its users. These make it unethical to use it even for a child's-toy-like application. But the source code we've just witnessed in the recent leak is *exactly* this level of "engineering." If you see an app that claims to be "programmed with AI" and it has any possibility of failing in a way that could harm you (for example, if it connects to the internet, meaning that poor programming could allow hackers to take over the device you run it on), my advice is: "Do not use it and warn your friends and family."
P.S. yes, this advice does apply to Microsoft Widows at this point, although that can be a tougher bullet to bite.

48 hour film festival's AI rule. I think it says a lot as to what is and isn't allowed. Some of it might just be pragmatic, but some of it may also reflect values of what is considered central and what more peripheral?
