Has anyone making this feature actually asked any accessibility experts and any disabled people if this is a good idea?
Because in practice this will give you terrible results, because AI can’t know what you intent do communicate with the image.
Even if it would give good results (it doesn’t and never will) and you’re too lazy to write alt text yourself, it would be better to do this on the receiving end where the disabled person could fine-tune generative alt text to their specific needs.

Don’t get me wrong - while using the fountain pen I am still trying to maintain good writing posture and I’m continuing to do my regular hand stretches.
But for a sense of the difference: before, I was happy with the fact that I managed to develop a good pain management routine to allow me to write like 2-3 pages at a time without convulsing in pain.
And now I can write 6 pages nonstop without even thinking or feeling anything. A short 5–10 minute rest and I can come back for more.
This is such a big deal to me. I was able to draw yesterday with a relaxed hand after spending hours writing notes. Before I’d only be able to do one or the other in a day!
And then I finished the evening by writing out a chapter of my novel by hand.
And today my hand is totally fine!!

I just love linear() 😍 #CSS #animation

(Alltags)Dinge, die ich von #Japan *nicht* vermissen werde:
- nervige Jingles in allen Bahnhöfen und Bahnen, Geräuschüberflutung generell
- (fast immer) überfüllte Bahnen und Busse
- Kleine Zimmer
- sehr restriktive Rauchverbote und sehr versteckte Raucherbereiche
- Der soziale Druck, man könne ständig in ein Fettnäpfchen treten

There’s a great bit in “Bojack Horseman” re: a fan asking about a little thing in one of his TV episodes; asking if it had some meaning
Bojack notes “no, someone just left a coffee cup in the shot”
“AI” to me is like “what if we just made a whole show coffee cups!”

I had fun with OpenStreetMap data and Julia yesterday, so I wrote some notes on how I did it (i.e., access OSM data, process it with Shapefile.jl and plot it with Plots.jl).

Just wrote about a hike in November. You've seen the video already. Today I decided that I'm fine with the photos.

A Short Hike with Big Rewards
Not every hike needs to be epic to leave an impression. A short November walk to Seekarkreuz in Lenggries—familiar trails, hazy views, and a surprisingly sharp wind—reminded me that even common summits can feel extraordinary when the weather plays along.
