Still only on a feature branch, but over the past few days I've been working on updating https://thi.ng/geom to add support for polygons with holes and paths with holes (or more generally support for sub-paths, e.g. multiple curves). Since both of these shape types are containers of multiple geometries and …

Andre James Still New to Playing Center
2019 undrafted free agent, Andre James debuted on The Rush Podcast with Maxx Crosby speaking about his career with the Raiders. A largely spoken upon topic in this video was the fact that James had never played center before joining the NFL. His football career started in Utah where in high school he would be ranked as a four-star recruit because of his potential. Potential for him was imminent, and UCLA believed in him signing the lineman in 2015. UCLA is also the alma mater of current Raiders…

Quick tip: be careful when using the newer #CSS viewport-percentage length units like `svh`, `dvh`, and the like. They are well-supported since late 2022 and quite a few users might still be using older (Android) devices and browsers. So always make sure to test on a few real devices (thanks to my parents in law for their Galaxy Tab 4 😁) and provide fallbacks, e.g. with `vh`.

A local archeologist reached out for me last year after a spectacular find to assist him with my metal detector to find fragments of a very rare bronze age vessel (situla).
Today we finally managed to start the project with 2hrs on a field. And we actually found a big edge piece of the situla (and maybe a fragment of a fibula). Can't wait for the next attempt to find more fragments!
Always feels good to help my local archeologists :-)

So, letting the NWS alert updater run it looks like I'll need to do a few things:
- Work on the map generation code as the zoom level still isn't 100% where it needs to be.
- Add filtering with respect to topic (e.g. Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, High Wind, etc).

OK, first question: Was anyone wearing a Dali mask and a red jumpsuit?

Jailbreaking Prompt Attack: A Controllable Adversarial Attack against Diffusion Models
Text-to-Image (T2I) models have received widespread attention due to their remarkable generation capabilities. However, concerns have been raised about the ethical implications of the models in generating Not Safe for Work (NSFW) images because NSFW images may cause discomfort to people or be used for illegal purposes. To mitigate the generation of such images, T2I models deploy various types of safety checkers. However, they still cannot completely prevent the generation of NSFW images. In thi…

Russia's Kharkiv offensive is starting to backfire. Essentially Putin forced Biden's hand in allowing Ukraine to strike inside Russia with American weapons, and now that is creating significant problems for the Russians.
That is the topic in my latest video. Here is a link to my blog post about it where you can find both the video and a transcript.

US weapons will give Russia significant problems
President Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to strike inside Russia with American weapons is extremely significant. There are still restrictions on what Ukraine can do, but it will give the Russians a lot of problems even with the current rules. And just as importantly, the taboo about making strikes in
