The black shit covering the snow? That's from #cars. But importantly, it's not just exhaust soot - it's also pieces of tire (as they wear down). Eg, #microplastics that will end up in the ocean and in our drinking water.

RE: social.makerforums.info/@mcdan
This morning, I heard the first report of someone passing their US ham radio exam by using Open Ham Prep …

Screenshot showing the first 6 of 16 lessons covering the US ham radio Technician class exam material, starting with "Welcome to Amateur Radio". Because I have passed all the quizzes associated with topic 2, "Your Identity on the Air", it is marked as completed. Two other topics are marked as partially complete because I have passed some but not all of the associated quizzes.
Screenshot showing the first six of 57 topics, starting with "The Transceiver - Your Voice to the World". Because I've taken the quiz for the first topic, it is marked as "Completed"
Screenshot showing the result of successfully answering all the questions in a quiz, and that you can always review questions for a topic by re-taking the quiz.
Screenshot of dashboard, showing that answering only a few questions does not demonstrate that I'm ready to take the test, even though I answered all of those few 100% correctly.

Ilford FP4 Plus 125 (FF) Image 1 – English Alt Text A black‑and‑white photograph showing several leafless trees on the left side of the frame. Their thin branches extend upward and outward against a blank sky that occupies the right side. Among the branches, a small star‑shaped object is visible, positioned slightly above the center. The scene is quiet and minimal, with strong contrast between the dark branches and the pale sky. Image 1 – 中文替代文字 一张黑白照片，画面左侧是几棵没有树叶的树，细长的树枝向上和向外伸展。右侧是空白的天空，占据了大部…
Ilford FP4 Plus 125 (FF) Image 4 – English Alt Text A black‑and‑white close view of a gravel surface. Two parallel curved tracks run through the gravel, suggesting something small moved across it. The gravel pieces vary in size and create a rough texture. The tracks are slightly darker than the surrounding stones and form gentle arcs across the frame. Image 4 – 中文替代文字 一张黑白的近景照片，显示一片碎石地面。两条平行的弯曲痕迹穿过碎石，似乎是某个小物体经过后留下的。碎石大小不一，形成粗糙的纹理。痕迹比周围的石子略深，在画面中呈弧形延伸。
Ilford FP4 Plus 125 (FF) mage 3 – English Alt Text A nighttime black‑and‑white image showing a triangular traffic sign behind a metal fence. The sign is illuminated and displays the character “让,” meaning “give way to.” Vertical and horizontal metal bars in the foreground partially obscure the sign, creating a grid‑like pattern. The background is dark, making the lit sign stand out. Image 3 – 中文替代文字 一张黑白的夜间照片。画面中，一个三角形交通标志位于金属栅栏后方，标志被照亮，上面有“让”字。前景的金属栏杆形成网格状，部分遮挡了标志。背景较暗，使得被照亮的标志更加突出。
Ilford FP4 Plus 125 (FF) Image 2 – English Alt Text A black‑and‑white outdoor scene with snow covering the ground. Patches of grass and small twigs protrude through the snow in the foreground. Behind them, dense branches from a coniferous tree fill much of the background, with needle‑like leaves creating a textured pattern. The contrast between the bright snow and the dark branches is prominent. Image 2 – 中文替代文字 一张黑白的户外场景照片。前景是被积雪覆盖的地面，部分草丛和细小树枝从雪中露出。背景由密集的针叶树枝构成，针状叶片形成明显的纹理。画面中明亮的雪与深色的树枝形成强烈对…

Content warning: Important question about Open AI use by the Tumbler Ridge Shooter - My post contains details that are disturbing.

“The suspect was able to then open a second ChatGPT account, despite being flagged by OpenAI systems in the past, and "continue planning scenarios involving gun violence”.”
The BBC, CBC and other media are only focusing on half the story. But the quote above almost gets there! Hey @… can you help highlight this in your reporting??
Yes, it is extremely important that OpenAI tells the authorities if obviously dangerous planning is happening. But we should also be asking a second question:
Should we as a society allow automated tools to be created that can help plan “scenarios involving gun violence”?
This is not an "age verification" question. As far as I'm concerned, a computer system should not be designed or be allowed to counsel people of any age on how to kill others. That is what ChatGPT is likely to have done here. There is no limit on what any LLM/AI system can say to users.
That is a problem that must be regulated.
This might also be an issue of 'sober second thought' @…

Series A, Episode 09 - Project Avalon
AVALON: I won't help you. You can't force me to help you.
TRAVIS: Don't be naive. I can force you to do anything. It isn't necessary, though. You're already helping me. Just by being here you've set in motion a chain of events that's been absolutely predetermined.

Claude Haiku 4.5 describes the image as: "I can describe what I see in this image: A person is lying down undergoing what appears to be a medical or therapeutic procedure. They're positioned beneath a large dome-shaped device with a red light indicator visible at the top. The person is wearing white protective covering or draping typical of medical settings. The dome apparatus looks like specialized medical equipment, possibly for dermatological treatment, light therapy, or similar clinical pro…

Let me tell you a parable.
There was a student who was given as assignment of writing an essay. The student found 10 similar essays online. He copied selected bits of different essays. He tediously reworded the result, removed some sentences, added some adjectives and adverbs, shifted some more sentences, added some glue — all with the single-minded goal of covering up the tracks. Eventually, a voluminous essay was complete.
The student has put a lot of effort into this; possibly even more that if he had written it himself. He did learn a bit about essays, though he didn't really practice writing one. He did practice some skills that would be useful in a future bullshit job, though. The essay passes all #plagiarism checks, even though it immediately raises red flags to any human reading it: the sudden style changes, contradictory statements, sentences that don't make much sense in their context. And if he was asked to defend it, he might be in trouble.
So, the student put an effort (though not the right kind of effort), produced a mediocre essay and learned something (though bullshit skills rather than creative skills). Now let's consider a different situation: rather than doing all that himself, the student paid somebody else to do it; and not to *write* an original essay, but to do all the shenanigans described above.
That's precisely what using LLMs is. You tell them to write an essay, so they find and mix random stuff, and produce a mediocre essay. You don't put an effort, you don't learn anything, perhaps you don't even read "your" essay. And it passes all the plagiarism checks.
