Tributes to the ficus marked for felling at Steiner and Waller 💚

Thick tree trunk with an orange emergency tree removal notice from the city, and a red notice handwritten, “Thank you dear trees for your selfless shade and quiet intimacy.” A pink flower sticks out from a heart-shaped hole in the paper.
Row of tall ficus trees with thick green canopy above the sidewalk.
“All trees go to heaven.” Pink paper on trunk under tree removal notice
Handwritten love notes hung on twine tied loosely around tree trunk. “I will miss the way your branches welcome me home on bike rides, lining the streets”

A classified Israeli military database ... indicated that of more than 53,000 deaths recorded in Gaza, named Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters accounted for roughly 17%. That suggests the rest, 83%, were civilians. These are not the statistics of a war fought with precision, this is a war where imprecision is the aim.
When reported verification times for AI-assisted targets are measured in seconds, ... the consequences are written in rows of small coffins.

These aren’t AI firms, they’re defense contractors. We can’t let them hide behind their models
From Gaza to Iran, the pattern is the same: precision weapons, chosen blindness, and dead children. The cost of failing to regulate AI warfare is already too high

Following the links you get to something called Perlisisms which are tiny poems from Alan Perlis. Here are 120 of them:

8. A programming language is low level when its programs require attention to the irrelevant.
95. Don't have good ideas if you aren't willing to be responsible for them.

Blocking the work of MSF is absolutely depraved. Israel continues to fumble its way out of the community of civilized nations.

I’ve found myself feeling unmoored by the current crop of FOSS contributions. I genuinely don’t know how to proceed.
Of course there’s the slop where the PR checklist gets deleted & almost all items violated. The truly annoying part about this is that I always try to be kind & not a stickler about policies. I guess I don’t owe kindness to a bot, but it’s a bad look to be assertive in public. (1/5)
