W Modice znajdziemy wytwórnie czekolady rodziny Bonajuto działającą od ponad 150 lat - już 6ste pokolenie z tego, co pamiętam zajmuje się wyrabianiem czekolady.

Sycylijska czekolada z miasta Modica jest wyjątkowa, ponieważ przepis i metody nie zmieniły się znacznie od XVII wieku, hiszpańskiego panowania nad Sycylią i oryginalnych metod nauczonych od Azteków.

Czekolada jest wytwarzana na zimno, przez co cukier się nie rozpuszcza i zostawia całe kryształki, a sama tabliczka się krus…

X updates Grok to prevent the "editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis" and geoblocks it for all users "where it's illegal" (Karissa Bell/Engadget)
engadget.com/ai/x-says-grok-wi

Professor David Bowman said that,
because many of the fires in Australia this month appear to have burnt rapidly through grassland,
it made for difficult firefighting conditions.
“You can’t fight these things in the same way you fight a forest fire
because they’re travelling so quickly with high winds.
Everything you’re trying to do was being controlled by the wind,” he said.
Professor Bowman said, if heatwave conditions continued in Victoria,

My buddy, Waffles, took a photo with Santa today. He's a shelter adoption, and this is probably his first Christmas experience.

Waffles, a black dog with a white belly and white front paws, sits and looks very seriously at the camera. Behind him is Santa dressed in a red suit, with white trim, and a white beard. The backdrop is an old red truck parked in a candycane forest.

Today, Wikipedia turns 25 years old. It's never been more important — or under more attack from authoritarians. Here's what to know about how we got here, and what we can do to push for its future and support them as they start to demand fair support from the AI companies that are profiting off of the community. There's no better example than Wikipedia of the web we make together.

Trump has been an outspoken critic of Biden’s use of the autopen to conduct executive business,

One of the top stories on Hacker News today was a post arguing that Mozilla shouldn't accommodate any usage of AI in Firefox because (understandably) people were mad at Big AI companies for all the horrible things they've done to users and the internet and society. But I think people are ignoring the reality that *hundreds of millions of users* are using LLMs today, and they need to have tools from platforms that will look out for their interests.
