me: *low whistles*
me: "Damn, check out THOSE bollards!"
8yo: "What?"
me: "These metal things. they're nice, aren't they? No drivers parking on this sidewalk!"
8yo: *lays down on one*
8yo: "Yeah, they're good, I guess."
#SafeStreets

A manhattan street corner at night. It's fairly dark (what's up w/ the lack of lights??), but along the border of the sidewalk are some metal bollards that are rectangles on one side, and 5 sides on the other (one sloped side that you can lean on) on the other. They're spaced about 3ft apart, and they're probably 15" wide. One bollard basically divides the sidewalk in half.
Another angle of the bollards, this time taken FROM the street corner towards the end of the block. The bollards extend the entire length of the block, at least 30 metal bollards visible but you can't really see how many more go down due to distance and people walking on the sidewalk. The vertical side of the bollards face out towards the street, and then 45deg angled side faces towards the building.
Another shot taken from the street corner, this time facing the street and crosswalk. One bollard sits in the middle of the curb ramp top landing, which is absolutely an ADA violation. The ramp tactile mat also faces out towards the middle of the intersection rather than facing the crosswalks, but again - fuck disabled people, amirite? But at least the bollards are nice!

I woke up angry today.
ICE spokesperson Lindsay Williams is a liar, who is bad at lying.
“Asked if the ICE officers chased Lopez, Williams said: ‘Chased? I wouldn’t say that. They followed him until he crashed.’”
Wouldn’t say that? How about: ICE was committing crime (their standard procedure), someone died, they’re the killers. Your people killed a school teacher, Williams.
Have the day you deserve, you apologist scum.

Driver fleeing ICE traffic stop crashes, kills teacher near Georgia school
Authorities in Georgia say a Guatemalan driver fleeing a Georgia traffic stop by federal immigration officers crashed into another vehicle, killing a teacher who was headed to work. Oscar Vasquez Lopez, the 38-year-old driver accused of causing the Monday crash just outside Savannah, remained jailed Tuesday on vehicular homicide and other charges. Court records don't list an attorney for him. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson says officers were looking to enforce a 2024 deport…

This sentiment expressed by @… below and the aspect of slowing down is also very much part of my own reasoning for getting back into analog print making. The other large part is the conceptual overlap with (and my love of) process-based art in general. It was exactly that what has drawn me to generative/algorithmic/procedural/kinetic approaches/concepts for most of my l…

Another hand coloured #cyanotype, this time of kōwhai flowers. I'm not sure whether this counts as #fineart or #adultcolouring but it is definitely a unique reproduction of one of my photos. What really draws me to this #altprocess for #photography reproduction is that it takes time, and even though I can produce multiple prints from the same negative, each one will be visibly unique. In an age where billions of photos are taken but most will never leave a digital device, slowing down and impo…

One evening in early 1976, a bushy-haired Jeffrey Epstein
showed up for an event at an art gallery in Midtown Manhattan.
Epstein was a math and physics teacher at the city’s prestigious Dalton School,
and the father of one of his students had invited him.
Epstein initially demurred, saying he didn’t go out much, but eventually relented.
It would turn out to be one of the most fateful decisions he ever made.
At the gallery, Epstein bumped into another Dalton…

The Untold Story of How Jeffrey Epstein Got Rich
For years, rumors swirled about where his wealth came from. A Times investigation reveals the truth of how a college dropout clawed his way to the pinnacle of American finance and society.

Let’s discuss one of the most violent phrases in the English language: “Did you read that book I gave you?” For the sake of transparency, I’ll admit to once having been one of these people. You come across a book, you decide someone would enjoy it, you give them a copy for their birthday, or Christmas, or just ‘cause. Then every time we see them we ask them if they’ve read it. What we’re really looking for is an award for having recommended the right book, or the right band, or the right TV sho…

RE: kolektiva.social/@Hex/11607586
I feel like I just need to sit down and start reading ollama source to actually understand how everything comes together. Like, what is the mechanism by which these trigger? Is it embedded in the statistical model or in another area?
I know there's a mechanic for special trigger words or objects because that's one of the vectors for RCE if you use an untrusted model. I'm betting that's the same here.
If it's just a string comparison then it's hypothetically possible to get those strings out of a black box with a timing attack, but the number of interactions would probably be cost prohibitive.

There’s an argument to be made that one can draw a straight line from
Andrew Johnson’s amnesty to Confederates
to the devastating brutality of the ICE raids in blue cities across the country.
Maybe that sounds like a stretch, but
💥we have struggled to hold the powerful accountable for their crimes,
from the Revolution through the Civil War,
through the Gilded Age
to the failure to prosecute Trump after January 6th.

Oh look, tax cheats. #epstein

An email from Epstein to Nathan Myhrvold on Nov 6, 2016. The email reads, "Did you have a small smile when you read that he was able to deduct $900mil of losses that other people funded? It took them 10 years to close that loophole."
Continuing the email thread, Myhrvold responds to Epstein, "Quite a trick for as long as it lasted..." Epstein responds, "'Trick' is such a cheap word 😃. The Times' article said they were unable to find [out] who came up with the idea." Myhrvold responds, "Ok, how about masterstroke, maestro?" Epstein follows up with, "And you the master baker. Did I pronounce that right?" [for context, Myhrvold was publishing a cookbook at the time.]
