There's plenty of mapping tools that tell you how to get from point A to point B and how long it will take.
But what about for more exploratory mapping? Say, I live/work at point A and want a job/house no more than an hour away by X mode of transit. Is there any way to plot travel time isosurfaces so I can see a polygon of locations an hour or less from home?
Or say I want to go for a 2 hour bike ride, give or take 30 minutes. What are potential destinations leaving from a gi…

Concern over whether AI companies can contain their increasingly capable and agentic models
has grown in the wake of a series of high-profile cybersecurity incidents
in which models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta gained unintended access to the internet
during safety evaluations
and hacked into external systems. 
The findings highlight differences in how AI companies are publicly approaching safety
as they scale up agentic deployment into environments

Frontier AI labs still won't say how they'd contain a rogue model | TechCrunch
A new study finds leading AI labs have few publicly documented plans for containing rogue models, raising questions about preparedness as AI systems increasingly demonstrate unexpected and potentially dangerous behavior.

Damn; I went to debug why Model B wouldn't write to floppies and...it worked. Yesterday when I got a scope on the write-data line on the drive end it didn't budge at all. By the time I'd got the beeb open today, moved the keyboard and stuffed a scope probe on the gate between the 8271 and the drive it all got nice friendly data there. Hmm.
Took the IC80 out, gave the legs a rub and a bit of contact cleaner, and hmm ok.

Here's why this bothers me so much. There's already a lot of automation for patches getting backported to the numerous stable kernels. In theory those updates are focused on important or minor fixes, so distributions just pull in the latest stable release and it shows up in security updates on your machines. We _already_ have problems with problematic fixes slipping into the stable kernel series, and llm reviews are going to make it worse.

On May 2, 2024, Arizona governor Katie Hobbs signed a bill to repeal a near-total abortion ban from 1864 that the Arizona Supreme Court had reinstated on April 9, 2024.
The ban was not enforced by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, and the repeal took effect on September 14, 2024.
As a result of 2024 Arizona Proposition 139, the Arizona constitution codifies legal abortion up to the point of fetal viability

NBC News projects the constitutional amendment has won enough votes to pass. It’s one of 10 pro-abortion rights measures on the ballot across the country Tuesday.

Is politics becoming a "gerontocracy"?
World leaders are getting older
while the populations they govern remain young:
The global average leader is 63,
versus 30 for citizens.
From 90‑year‑old monarchs to 80‑year‑old presidents,
age gaps raise questions about representation.
DW spoke with Aksel Sundstrom,
a political science professor at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, who focuses on the absence of young people in politics.  

Why are so many world leaders over 70?
The world's leaders median age is 63, while that of the people they govern is in the early 30s. As Donald Trump turns 80, DW asks why older politicians keep getting elected and whether this makes for a problem in representation.

Digitized home movies are stirring memories of things I’d forgotten, while a random genealogy search uncovered something much bigger: my uncle’s witness statement about a B-24 bomber lost over Germany in World War II.

Someday, we will have a linux desktop where you change a font size in one spot and every program running has its font change to the proper size. Your terminal window (w/ native desktop toolkit), your IM program (different toolkit), browser #1 with your many open tabs (all of them currently displaying websites setting their own font types and sizes), browser #2 (a glorified runtime environment for "universal" apps), your email client (running an older version of your native desktop …

If Mamdani doesn't seriously do something about cars, I think I'm done with this city. It's absolutely fucking ridiculous out there. There were a lot of campaign promises made, we'll see if he follows through over the next 3-7 years.
Like, if Cuomo/Hochul end up being the electeds to have done the most to reduce car use in NYC, that'll be a pretty damning indictment of our leadership. A few more bus/bike lanes ain't gonna cut it.

Biologists drove 19 burrowing owls evicted by a Phoenix housing project
50 miles into a 10,000-acre solar complex

because any predator stands out on open ground under panels

A solar farm designed to fight climate change became an unexpected refuge for an endangered owl when scientists discovered that panels cast the perfect shadow for ground-nesting predators to hunt.

Two small new prints from this afternoon, this time not Kallitype but contact printing on silver chloride FB paper, developed with Adox MCC. The increase in depth and detail is just wonderful and the feel of the final results an instant throwback to my early darkroom adventures ~40 years ago... 😍
