Hey all,
today was a totally grey day. Very low hanging clouds. Actually a superb inversion -- if I would have had the time for a walk to the mountains. Yet other topics were on my schedule for today.
But hey, this is what photos are for: having memories about good time, right? I wrote more about it here:

A stunning panoramic view unfolds under a bright, clear sky, where the sun shines brilliantly, casting a warm glow over a picturesque valley. The sun's rays create a starburst effect, adding a magical touch to the scene. Below, a lush valley stretches out, filled with a patchwork of green fields, dense forests, and scattered clusters of buildings, all bathed in soft morning or late afternoon light. In the distance, a range of majestic mountains rises, their peaks partially shrouded in a light …

The failed White House / GOP strategy on AI is to stop federal bills and try to stop state bills.
This resulted in two things the tech industry didn’t want:
1. Patchwork of state AI laws
2. Public backlash
Any AI LLM could have devised a better strategy

Just a hut under a tree in the mist ...
I saw this when I was walking back from a location scouting. When I was back at the car, I turned around - already ready to drive away when I noticed this gnarly tree in the field.
The fog was just light enough to create an interesting mood I think.

A solitary tree stands resolute in a world softened by mist, its bare branches reaching upward like skeletal fingers against the muted sky. The landscape is wrapped in a quiet, ethereal haze, blurring the horizon into a seamless blend of earth and sky. Shades of gray dominate the scene—pale silver where the light struggles through the overcast clouds, deeper charcoal along the shadowed ground—creating a mood both melancholic and peaceful. The open field stretches endlessly, its surface damp an…
A quiet winter woodland unfolds in soft shades of gray and muted silver, where bare branches stretch like delicate lace against a pale, overcast sky. The forest stands in hushed stillness, its skeletal trees stripped of leaves, their intricate patterns creating a natural tapestry of lines and shadows. A gentle mist lingers between the trunks, blurring the distance and lending the scene an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality. The ground is a patchwork of frosty grass and fallen twigs, crunching …

The White House has put on hold
a draft executive order that would
seek to preempt state laws on artificial intelligence
through lawsuits and by withholding federal funds,
two sources said on Friday.
The draft order, which Reuters reported on earlier this week,
would have likely faced significant pushback from states.
But its consideration shows how far Trump is willing to go to help AI companies overcome a patchwork of laws they say stifle innovati…

It's been quite a day today. Quite ... challenging. But with a good end.
The mood of this photo is now exactly what I needed: a calm, chill hike in low hanging clouds. Just a few people - no stress, no expectations, no talking, no phone ...

A serene winter morning unfolds in this tranquil countryside scene, where a light frost delicately coats the landscape. Tall, leafless trees stand in a row along the edge of a gentle hill, their branches dusted with a thin layer of frost, creating a beautiful contrast against the pale winter sky. The trees, with their intricate network of branches, add a sense of depth and texture to the scene. The hill slopes gently downward, covered in a patchwork of frost-kissed grass and earthy tones, hint…
