In what environmental advocates describe as
“another gift to the fossil fuel industry,”
🆘the Trump administration plans to end rules limiting the release of planet-heating emissions from power plants that burn coal and gas.
🔥Power plants are considered the largest industrial source of greenhouse gas emissions in the US and account for about a quarter of the nation’s climate pollution, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
In 2024, the EPA under the B…

The Drone flights vs car break-ins chart in this article is fascinating: It shows a sharply declining rate of car break-ins, and then, as drone flights are introduced later in 2024, the rate of decline slows.
And "The SFPD increased patrols in bipping hot spots like Fisherman’s Wharf starting in 2023. Cops also started using bait cars and building cases against major bipping gangs. " And that correlates with the fastest rate of decline - good, old fashioned policing.

There are some words out there that are brilliantly evocative.
Yiddish has the word shlimazl, which basically means a perpetually unlucky person.
German has the word Backpfeifengesicht, which roughly means a face that is badly in need of a fist.
And then there’s the Japanese word tsundoku, which perfectly describes the state of my apartment.
It means buying books and letting them pile up unread.
The word dates back to the very beginning of modern Japan, the M…

This story buries the lede that the three biggest donors to the SF Democratic Party are, literally, Republican donors.
1. Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, whose top backer is William Oberndorf, a "Republican mega-donor" according to April 2024 Mission Local coverage;
2. Chris Larsen, who co-founded Ripple, which donated to Trump's White House ballroom per CNN;
3. SF Believes, funded by "MAGA WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum"
The SF Democratic Par…

Today I found a open source thing for doing _exactly what I needed_ but then it didn't work and I inspected the source code and found that it uses services that are no longer online.
Turns out it was all vibe-coded and the LLM referenced services that are long dead presumably because the training data ends with 2024 or so and it just assumed the services are still up.
The person doing the vibe coding didn't bother to check. Now the code is up on Github and you get recommend to use it by search engines. Great stuff.

#throwback Aug. 25, 2024: Beautiful teak entry door at Swarnawalli Matha, Sonda #India. Very heavy; at least 8ft tall.
BTW very serene both inside and outside the temple. 🛕
Also, very generous people. I remember they gave us nice tea and evening snacks. ☺️
