Claudia Sheinbaum made history when she became Mexico’s first woman president — and the first of Jewish heritage. But on the night of September 15, she made history again. Standing on the Palacio Nacional balcony, clad in white, royal purple and gold, flanked by an all-female military honor guard and wearing a sash created for her by female military officers, she gripped the bell rope and, as required of the ritual, shouted. Normally soft-spoken and measured, the tone was a shift for the climate scientist, who visibly trembled under the weight of the task, but not as big a shift as what she shouted:
“¡Mexicanas! ¡Mexicanos!”
The inclusion of the feminine “Mexicanas,” and naming them FIRST matters.

Macron fears ‘increased’ risk of secret uranium enrichment in Iran now French President Emmanuel Macron has said there is an “increased” risk that Iran will attempt to enrich uranium secretly following US and Israeli strikes on its nuclear sites. “This risk has indeed increased with what has happened recently,” Macron told reporters, calling it “one of the main risks for the region and the international community”. He added that “we must absolutely prevent Iran from going down this path”.

"A confusing contradiction is unfolding in companies embracing generative AI tools: while workers are largely following mandates to embrace the technology, few are seeing it create real value. [...] In collaboration with Stanford Social Media Lab, our research team at BetterUp Labs has identified one possible reason: Employees are using AI tools to create low-effort, passable looking work that ends up creating more work for their coworkers."
"Unlike this mental outsourc…

AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity
Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appears polished but lacks real substance, offloading cognitive labor onto coworkers. Research from BetterUp Labs and Stanford found that 41% of workers have encountered such AI-generated output, costing nearly two hours of rework per instance and creating downstream productivity, trust, and colla…

I have a dual-boot setup with Debian and Elementary on my laptop, because Elementary was my very first Linux distro, so it’s got a place in my heart.
Anyway, here are some shirts I own, along with two logos and a tux I made at work using the Plasma CNC!

Three casual tech-themed T-shirts laid flat on a wooden floor: one black with a swirl logo, one dark colored with the word elementary, and one light gray with the text dot deb.

#running slow is hard but my fitness is such that it requires a rebuild of the foundation. Trying to stay in HR2 means a decent amount of walking interspersed. I don’t love it, but it’s necessary.
I have a much more open schedule now, so I should be able to get out and run regularly. The trick will be staying patient and trusting the process.

My running/walking stats: 5.01 km in 40:25 for an average pace of 8:03/km

Poster No 857: Plastic changes in the occipital regions during pitch perception associate with blindness onset age; "Specifically, the primary visual cortex remains engaged in pitch processing tasks following late blindness." doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1564197

Screenshot of abstract. Conclusions: In conclusion, while the plasticity of the cerebral cortex gradually declines with age, the visual cortices of late blind individuals (vision loss after four years old) continue to be recruited for pitch processing attributable to cross-modal reorganization. Specifically, the primary visual cortex remains engaged in pitch processing tasks following late blindness. However, compared to individuals who are either congenitally or early blind, late blind indivi…

NATO boss Rutte (fmr Dutch PM) sends app to Trump, who promptly publishes it.
"Wow, your bombing of Iran was great; it makes the world a safer place!"
Straight from The Hague, formerly known as the International City of Peace and Justice. Awkward.

Mr President, dear Donald, Congratulations and thank you for your decisive action in Iran, that was truly extraordinary, and something no one else dared to do. It makes us all safer. You are flying into another big success in The Hague this evening. It was not easy but we've got them all signed onto 5 percent! Donald, you have driven us to a really, really important moment for America and Europe, and the world. You will achieve something NO American president in decades could get done. Euro…
