Rare that I get a chance to dig into a passion of mine - #urban transit development!
Read about my one-time home, #Jakarta & how its transformed from the world's most congested city to a model for the global south - but there's still a long way to go.

Just got word that #Minneapolis is displacing #unhoused people again (it happens nearly daily but this is a massive displacement) along Minnehaha Avenue, at East 26th Street cross-street and beyond, even an arrest happening. Helpers/documenters called for.

#Hiring for a #journalism assistant and got way too many applications. Too many cover letters have the same exact format, with bullet points summaries in the middle.
Is this how #AI writes cover letters?

I think the next time I post a #job, I'll add a note saying - "all applications that arrive in the next 48 hours will be immediately deleted."
That should get rid of most of the #AI #AIslop.

@… do you have that "pro-littering" zine you shared at some point handy? Community cleanup coming up and i need extra grounding to try to radicalize (if possible?) the event during the planning or just share the zines at it 😂

Happening now in North Minneapolis somewhere just southwest of 2nd Ave N and Van White Memorial Boulevard, police ordering more people with nowhere to go to leave otherwise-unused land by 1pm today. The City of Minneapolis has been using violence (physical force or the threat of physical force) to shove unhoused people around constantly since the destruction of community-supported encampments, and so long as this is allowed, the human right to housing will never be fulfilled. See you there…

Absolutely this.
MiniMax M2.7 and GLM-5.1 are incredibly capable.
And I think _tooling_ (that is: traditional, deterministic as can be software) to guide and give structure to the probabilistic problem-solving is actually incredibly effective. And better, in terms of energy, very very cheap. You can throw 500 billion more parameters and 2 TB of RAM and many megawatts at things to make them better... or you can throw tools to shape things at them.
