@Techmeme@techhub.socialQ&A with Sundar Pichai on the future of Google Search, Google's place in the AI race, public skepticism toward AI, AI agents, AI safety, TPUs, and more (New York Times)

@sherold@mastodon.onlineNot entirely sure what my brain was up to, but it prompted Nano Banana to generate an “Overly Concerned Drafthorse,” and well, that’s that.

Every end-of-semester, it's the same story: I let students submit late term papers without penalty. But, the university sets a hard deadline after which students need to petition the Registrar's Office for acceptance of late work. With Canvas that hard deadline becomes a minute instead of a day (11:59pm to be precise). Of course, no one has submitted a paper and no one will until 11:53 or so (there's always an anxious student or two), with the rest flooding in be…
@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotWell, this is unexpected! Gorgon has produced the first calf of the year. She's healthy, and Gorgon is a good, experienced mother, so I'm not at all anxious about it, but I wasn't expecting calves until May.

@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itH H forgot the most important point to managing stress, "Try guillotining the Epstein class."
@jake4480@c.imWhen you realize that nearly everyone who seems confident or 'cool' is putting on an act in a big way, and are in reality, total anxious messes, you look at things differently.
@lpryszcz@genomic.social“Move your body for 20 minutes a day; get out for a walk – it doesn’t have to be vigorous exercise – and get some sunshine on your skin.” This can help combat anxious thoughts. Yoga, meditation or mindfulness are worth exploring too.
And most of all, don't about exposure to things that make you anxious. Avoidance only makes the problem worse!

@lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nzWow, quite anxious right now... our gorgeous, beloved hound (golden retriever) is in surgery (nothing too serious, but under full anaesthetic) right now... 🤞🏻 💚
@detondev@social.linux.pizzaTaking so many people in as wikipedia pages you feel anxious about becoming that defined

Also the murderer is played by Austrian acting legend Oskar Werner, and his Austrian accent gets ever stronger over the episode as he gets more anxious about getting caught.
I sound a bit like him somewhere in the middle of the episode maybe.
For a while I lived very close to where he was born in Vienna, in the Gumpendorf part of the VIth district.
@theodric@social.linux.pizzaAnd here, in the final days of Ástriðr, she discovers that the warmth, community, and peace she wanted were always hers for the taking. 16 years wasted wallowing in fear and hesitation. Many such cases, sadly.

@pre@boing.worldWent to see Stuart Goldsmith doing his work in progress stand up show about the climate at the local theater.
He's a funny man and has a good friendly personality (or stage-persona at least I guess) and is terrified and anxious and angry about the way the people are treating the world without out even being their fault.
It's a good show, he's a good guy, you should go see him do it at Edinburgh or whenever he's in your town.
No action you can take as an individual really makes much difference to the end of the world stuff. You should be vegan perhaps, ethical banking perhaps. But really the only thing that works is mass social pressure, so talking about it is the best thing you can do. If you can't be vegan, at least say you are.
Perhaps telling everyone on linked-in to book him for their climate sessions is best he reckons 😆 but I don't do corporate social media at all really, so Mastodon and cross post to Bluesky is the best thing I can do perhaps.
Stu's a friend of a friend, we've met before. Don't think he recognized me sitting in the front row without context against the stage lights though. Maybe a little at the end with some context when he's rushing to get home.
Still love that Captain Pike hairdo.
