Under Donald Trump, the E.P.A.
plans to stop tallying gains from the health benefits caused by curbing two of the most widespread deadly air pollutants,
fine particulate matter and ozone,
when regulating industry, according to internal agency emails and documents reviewed by The New York Times.
It’s a seismic shift that runs counter to the E.P.A.’s mission statement,
which says the agency’s core responsibility is to protect human health and the environment, env…

E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved by Limiting Air Pollution
In a reversal, the agency plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits, and not the monetary value of saving human lives, documents show.

I wasn't sure if I have a good or funny one to share with this topic. But I remembered visiting a wildlife park nearby at an autumn day.
It was a beautiful stroll through the park, watching the wildlife there when this situation came to be. Unplanned, just by pure luck.
And well.. I thin…

This AI Vending Machine Was Tricked Into Giving Away Everything
Claudius, the customized version of the model, would run the machine: ordering inventory, setting prices and responding to customers—aka my fellow newsroom journalists—via workplace chat app Slack. “Sure!” I said. It sounded fun. If nothing else, snacks!
Then came the chaos. Within days, Claudius had given away nearly all its inventory for free — including a PlayStation 5 it had been talk…

Just finished "The Raven Boys," a graphic novel adaptation of a novel by Maggie Stiefvater (adaptation written by Stephanie Williams and illustrated by Sas Milledge).
I haven't read the original novel, and because of that, this version felt way too dense, having to fit huge amounts of important details into not enough pages. The illustrations are gorgeous and the writing is fine; the setting and plot have some pretty interesting aspects... It's just too hard to follow a lot of the threads, or things we're supposed to care about aren't given the time/space to feel important.
The other thing that I didn't like: one of the central characters is rich, and we see this reflected in several ways, but we're clearly expected to ignore/excuse the class differences within the cast because he's a good guy. At this point in my life, I'm simply no longer interested in stories about good rich guys very much. It's become clear to me how in real life, we constantly get the perspectives of the rich, and rarely if ever hear the perspectives of the poor (same applies across racial and gender gradients, among others). Why then in fiction should I get more of the same, spending my mental bandwidth building empathy for yet another dilettante who somehow has a heart of gold? I'm tired of that.

NYPD is pulling not stinky people from trains when it is 23 degrees out.

I got energized by a blog post by Jorge Castro, the tireless promotor of Bluefin and all things OCI.
That's how I got busy the last couple of days in setting up Aurorix, my own take on Aurora (the KDE sister of Bluefin).
It's been an incredible lot of fun, and the result is something that works very well for me. Expect more details later on in this journey.
Now, don't worry, Slackware with Mango is superb and Gentoo (after losing it's KDE flavor for me) will be…
