A unique wide perspective on an urban scene, on the 1/3 line to the right is a narrow path with the number 125 carved into the concrete walkway and a view to a column of 5 clusters of windows rising up from an entrance with the sign HAROLDS SQUARE. To the right of that is a building with a dark grey floor level and alternating white and grey stripes rising up from that, to the left an old brick building that has a PARIS BAGUETTE on the first floor that looks like an urban McDonald's from the…

Thomas Nagel thinks most people use reason to create a unified world view.
I think almost everyone have a very limited window into reason, and that their "unified" view is jam-packed full of self-contradictions.

I'm right chuffed! Even just after watering it, and having the door open for a while, our greenhouse is between 25-40 degrees C, in the last week of winter. We've already got a bunch of seedlings coming up. I think it's going to be a good summer for veggies in our household. Now if I can just find a good spot to plant that Avocado tree... 🤔

The media focus on this one criticism is insane, just massive focus on ensuring everybody is quoted as being against Bob's chant.
The manufacturing of consent in plain view. No support of Bob allowed to be quoted, only condemnation. No focus at all on the horrors committed by the army itself, just condemnation and contrition from all corners.
And all so much louder than the coverage of death and hunger and destruction and genocide being committed by that army.
Our media environment is so focused and in lock-step, even though it's in theory free. Yet not a single newspaper saying, you know, the Vylan character has a point! Maybe we should disband a criminal army!
Got confused about the date in the show here, but the reading's about right. The bandwagon rolls on because it's a victory for everyone. The media gets to condemn someone, and they don't have to condemn Israel.

Out & about in the Bernina Range, on our way to the Labyrinth, surrounded by majestic 4000ers (meters)... A dream! 😍
(#ThrowbackThursday, preemptive #FootpathFriday and my personal hiking highlight of 2024)

A glacier side moraine with an almost imperceptible path on its ridge is leading into a sea of ice, rocks and snow in the not so far distance. The massive glacier is just a few dozen meters below from where the picture was taken. It flows & drops down from the peaks in the back (all ~4000m and around 1300m higher up for my position), forming a maze of large seracs on the way. Sunny day with blue sky and some wispy clouds.

View across a large glacier (from the same moraine & position as other photo) towards the opposite side of the valley with its 4000m peaks, hidden below a thick layer of snow and ice, some side glaciers and bare major rock faces dusted in snow. Some dried brown grass in the bottom-right corner.

#photography #feet #red

horizontal format photo of two feet resting on a brick-red fabric, hit by direct sunlight coming from a window outside the top of the frame of the image, resulting in the feet casting dark shadows, being surrounded by dark shadows, while also receiving some strong red reflected light from the fabric, plus some intense glowing red sub-surface scattering in the toes at the border between light and shadow.

similar view as in the previous image, slightly different position of the feet and thus different shadow patterns

again a similar view as before, only now the left foot is raised a bit more, while the right foot is lowered, so that the shadows cast by the left foot's toes are much more dramatic, while the right foot is illuminated more brightly, making for a stark contrast between the two

How popular media gets love wrong
Okay, so what exactly are the details of the "engineered" model of love from my previous post? I'll try to summarize my thoughts and the experiences they're built on.
1. "Love" can be be thought of like a mechanism that's built by two (or more) people. In this case, no single person can build the thing alone, to work it needs contributions from multiple people (I suppose self-love might be an exception to that). In any case, the builders can intentionally choose how they build (and maintain) the mechanism, they can build it differently to suit their particular needs/wants, and they will need to maintain and repair it over time to keep it running. It may need winding, or fuel, or charging plus oil changes and bolt-tightening, etc.
2. Any two (or more) people can choose to start building love between them at any time. No need to "find your soulmate" or "wait for the right person." Now the caveat is that the mechanism is difficult to build and requires lots of cooperation, so there might indeed be "wrong people" to try to build love with. People in general might experience more failures than successes. The key component is slowly-escalating shared commitment to the project, which is negotiated between the partners so that neither one feels like they've been left to do all the work themselves. Since it's a big scary project though, it's very easy to decide it's too hard and give up, and so the builders need to encourage each other and pace themselves. The project can only succeed if there's mutual commitment, and that will certainly require compromise (sometimes even sacrifice, though not always). If the mechanism works well, the benefits (companionship; encouragement; praise; loving sex; hugs; etc.) will be well worth the compromises you make to build it, but this isn't always the case.
3. The mechanism is prone to falling apart if not maintained. In my view, the "fire" and "appeal" models of love don't adequately convey the need for this maintenance and lead to a lot of under-maintained relationships many of which fall apart. You'll need to do things together that make you happy, do things that make your partner happy (in some cases even if they annoy you, but never in a transactional or box-checking way), spend time with shared attention, spend time alone and/or apart, reassure each other through words (or deeds) of mutual beliefs (especially your continued commitment to the relationship), do things that comfort and/or excite each other physically (anywhere from hugs to hand-holding to sex) and probably other things I'm not thinking of. Not *every* relationship needs *all* of these maintenance techniques, but I think most will need most. Note especially that patriarchy teaches men that they don't need to bother with any of this, which harms primarily their romantic partners but secondarily them as their relationships fail due to their own (cultivated-by-patriarchy) incompetence. If a relationship evolves to a point where one person is doing all the maintenance (& improvement) work, it's been bent into a shape that no longer really qualifies as "love" in my book, and that's super unhealthy.
4. The key things to negotiate when trying to build a new love are first, how to work together in the first place, and how to be comfortable around each others' habits (or how to change those habits). Second, what level of commitment you have right now, and what how/when you want to increase that commitment. Additionally, I think it's worth checking in about what you're each putting into and getting out of the relationship, to ensure that it continues to be positive for all participants. To build a successful relationship, you need to be able to incrementally increase the level of commitment to one that you're both comfortable staying at long-term, while ensuring that for both partners, the relationship is both a net benefit and has manageable costs (those two things are not the same). Obviously it's not easy to actually have conversations about these things (congratulations if you can just talk about this stuff) because there's a huge fear of hearing an answer that you don't want to hear. I think the range of discouraging answers which actually spell doom for a relationship is smaller than people think and there's usually a reasonable "shoulder" you can fall into where things aren't on a good trajectory but could be brought back into one, but even so these conversations are scary. Still, I think only having honest conversations about these things when you're angry at each other is not a good plan. You can also try to communicate some of these things via non-conversational means, if that feels safer, and at least being aware that these are the objectives you're pursuing is probably helpful.
I'll post two more replies here about my own experiences that led me to this mental model and trying to distill this into advice, although it will take me a moment to get to those.

I've been using ClickUp for a few months now...and like every other productivity tool I've used over the last number of years it has its pros and cons.
It's got a lot of features but sometimes pretty basic features don't "just work" - and that makes me unhappy. 🙁
For example, right now I have some recurring tasks that will not allow an update to their due date manually. If I set a new date it resets back to the original date. Even more concerning is that this isn't clear from the UI.
The UI acts as if the change was successful but a page refresh reveals the change didn't save.
But the real reason I wanted to post wasn't about ClickUp particularly but about chatbots in general. They verified that my issue was an actual bug and created a ticket for it but the way I've been instructed to view the ticket status is by opening the chatbot, telling it I want information on my ticket (pasting in the ticket ID) and after doing all that I get this
5/6: Umm, no. I want to see an actual ticket please. I don't want to have to talk to a chatbot to see it. Chatbots really are great for a lot of things (during the free trial of ClickUp I found the chatbot quite helpful in learning how to do things without searching through docs) but this sort of "there is a direct record", please no. Or let me paste it in and do the lookup immediately - and provide a permalink so I don't need to chat every time!
I'm sticking with ClickUp at the moment, but one of these days when I magically get a large amount of free time, I'm going to write my own solution...I've only been saying that for a few years now. ;-)

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) in newborns is a critical condition characterized by elevated pressure in the pulmonary arteries, leading to right ventricular strain and heart failure. While right heart catheterization (RHC) is the diagnostic gold standard, echocardiography is preferred due to its non-invasive nature, safety, and accessibility. However, its accuracy highly depends on the operator, making PH assessment subjective. While automated detection methods have been explored, most models foc…

I rode on this street (15th Ave NE) 1000s of times with no bike lane, when I used to live on 16th Ave NE. It sucked. I pointed out that drivers only really parked on one side of the street. The city had a plan to repave and add a protected bike lane, but it was delayed for years due to, of all things, "natural gas" pipe expansions. I moved to NYC before they started the project.

Another pic from the sidewalk. There's Roosevelt High School on the right, then a street with (flex post) protected bike lanes on each side.

LATENTRED main board layout progress: got most of the GTYs and FPGA-MCU paths done, as well as the RGMII PHY.
Still lots more to do but I'm liking the floorplan, at least the parts that I've done.
I'm debating moving the RGMII PHY to the west a bit and adding a fan cutout directly behind the FPGA so that I can have it suck exhaust air right past the FPGA (possibly with a 3d printed air dam or something in the future). Will need to spend some time thinking about therma…

The view south from my barn about a week and a half ago when the smoke from the wildfires in Canada was really bad and there was noticeable haze over even short sightlines -- what a relief when winds over the Midwest started heading north.

A valley with a far hill on the right which is is very hazy and a closer hill on the left which is is less hazy and even clearer, closer and lower hill on the right. There's a close hedgerow on the left and a huge dead polar tree on the right that's going to drop in my driveway someday, and below that tree a red very run down hay wagon in a grassy field that has since been cut.

Generalized Inverses of Quaternion Matrices with Applications
This study investigates the theoretical and computational aspects of quaternion generalized inverses, focusing on outer inverses and {1,2}-inverses with prescribed range and/or null space constraints. In view of non-commutative nature of quaternions, a detailed characterization of the left and right range and null spaces of quaternion matrices is presented. Explicit representations for these inverses are derived, including full rank decomposition-based formulations. We design two efficient algo…

Content warning: re: UKPol, Palestine Action, reply from my MP

Emily Thornberry's formberry reply:
Thank you for writing to me regarding the Home Secretary's decision to proscribe Palestine Action.
I believe the right to protest is a fundamental right in our democracy and I will continue to wholeheartedly defend this. I appreciate the concerns you have raised regarding proscribing Palestine
Action, however, as there is an upcoming judicial review into the ban, I am limited as to what I can say on the matter at the moment.
I was pleased that the near weekly protests in London and across the country, calling for an end to Palestinian suffering, have continued. I am certain we all want to see an immediate end to the immense suffering the Palestinian people are being subjected to, and the resumption of the critical aid deliveries which are so desperately needed in Gaza.
I am thankful that the Government have now set out an approach to recognising the Palestinian state as a step towards a lasting ceasefire. If you would like to know more about my wider views on the Israel-Palestine conflict, which you can view below.
Thank you again for writing to me on this very important issue. Let me assure you I will continue to push from within Parliament for an end to the violence and a peaceful two-state solution.
Best wishes,
Rt Hon Emily Thornberry MP

Hey #FOSS friends! 🚴‍♂️

Now I’m on the hunt for a simple open source app to track how far I ride. Bonus points if it’s on GitHub, if not, at least F-Droid works. If there’s nothing bike-specific, I’m cool with any travel or hiking tracker too.
I use a Pixel 9a with GrapheneOS.
Any recs? Drop ’em here! 🙌

Well, the good news is that it’s over. Run/walk staying in HR zone 2 and I think I was walking more than running. My fitness is 💩 right now. The humidity about killed me, even at 0730. I should have gone out earlier.
I’m at my in-laws place in Tennessee for the holiday weekend, of which this beautiful neighborhood has so few mature trees. As such, the sun gleefully poured out its angry menace upon me the entire time and I suffered. I am meant for cold weather.

My run/walk stats: 5.05 km in 41:31 for an average pace of 8:13/km

Text displaying temperature and humidex factors: "The humidex factor is 36°C. The humidex factor is 97°F, indicating evident discomfort."

A bright sun, surrounded by wispy clouds against a blue background. The silhouette of an ornate iron street sign frames the bottom corner.
