Comment from 2006:
"I'd guess that over 95% of the photos on Flickr were created by the people who uploaded them. I'd put that number way down for YouTube. Many of the videos posted there are clips from mainstream media posted illegally that YouTube turns a blind eye to."

One of the core problems of GenAI is that it's trained on junk data no one has ever read and reviewed. Once again we see that's a lesson not learned, because in their endless quest to more data for more-of-the-same models, GenAI companies have found a new source of mediocre training slop: work-related chats.

I have a common problem with several work-related projects. After quite a bit of pondering, I believe I have found the solution in my archives - a bash script linking a few very cool utilities that I wrote 20 years ago in the heady days of Egressive. Probably took weeks to get it right (it automates a business-critical backup process). I'm very chuffed my archives are still with me. You can never tell when they might come in handy. This will likely save days of work.

A new memo from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, challenges the

It appears intended to give Donald Trump the legal leeway to destroy White House records from his current term.
It also gives him legal backing to refuse to hand over any remaining records to the National Archives and Records Administration when he leaves office in 2029.
However, Archives personnel rely on the records law daily to review, redact and make public …

News story on a significant earthquake in Uzbekistan, 50 years ago, May 17, 1976 (Fargo-Moorhead Forum archives). Mentions the Medvedev scale, apparently now the the MSK or MSK-64 scale. That scale is not mentioned in North American, physical geology textbooks I have seen, although it's apparently similar to the Mercalli scale.
Also, the first page of a scientific paper on it, from 1980. ⚒️🧪

Idea: When (and if) the D's come back to power they should enact a law that pulls all of the trump term documents and artifacts into the National Archives and refuse to let them go to the el cheato presidential library.
