Partly bright and sunny, but fully cold and with generous amounts of wind. “Brisk” doesn’t even begin to do it justice. Still, I am a freak and love this weather. It felt good to be out moving. #TeamShorts of course.
Walked briefly twice to bring my HR down a bit and then stopped to mug at this beautiful Great Blue Heron looking for their lunch. 🐟

My running stats: 7.02 km in 51:41 for an average pace of 7:21/km

A Great Blue Heron standing in shallow water, surrounded by autumn foliage and rocky shoreline.

A picturesque river scene with gently flowing water reflecting sunlight. Dense trees line the riverbanks under a backdrop of clouds and a partially visible sun. The atmosphere is serene and natural, showcasing the beauty of the landscape.

A metal bridge with a wooden deck and horizontal railings, surrounded by trees and blue skies with clouds. The perspective is from the center of the bridge, looking down the pathway.

A black-and-white photo of a fenced sports court, likely for tennis. A tire leans against the chain-link fence, and a ball lies nearby on the court surface.

I was asking Claude Sonnet 4.5 some questions about how to transfer some old Fortran 90 progs into R. It's the sort of simple rules based question that AI is supposed to be good at. It's helpful on the rules of R, but took a lot of prompting to get it right -it would not have worked for someone who didn't understand the maths.
But it sure knows how to be creepily sycophantic. It's a machine and shouldn't pretend to be human.

They just sent the posts attached.

It is not limited…

Je nachdem, wie wir KI in den sozialen Medien einsetzen und welche neuen Funktionen Meta, TikTok und Co. uns zur Verfügung stellen, besteht jedoch ein Risiko. Wenn zu viel KI und zu wenig Persönlichkeit zum Einsatz kommen, könnte Social Media das verlieren, was es ausmacht: Austausch, Informationen und Unterhaltung, meint Jan Firsching.

About last night. Among many other things that can't be talked about there was good #meshcore radio reception on the rooftop of weekend club Berlin :)

A screenshot of the MeshCore iOS app digital interface displaying five discovered repeaters. Each entry includes the repeater name, a unique identifier, and signal strength indicators measured in dB. The device status shows connection quality and there is an LTE signal indicator at the top.

English Alt Text: A grayscale photo of an outdoor urban space. In the foreground, a cracked paved surface leads to a bench under a tree. Several people are gathered—some sitting, others standing—engaged in quiet conversation or observation. The tree provides shade, and its trunk is partially visible.

In the background, people gather near another play structure, possibly a slide. The ground is paved, and trees offer shade. A building with tiled walls, windows, and air conditioning units stands behind the playground. The image has a grainy texture, evoking a vintage or film-like quality.

But it will be great to see Woodman, Ramsay, Morrison, and Nyoni in action (alongside Ngumoha, of course).

infographic Waar komen kiezers vandaan?
Kiezers die nu op D66 stemmen, hebben tijdens de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen van 2023 gestemd op:
en dan 24% van de (huidige) D66 stemmers stemden de vorige keer ook al op D66, etc. etc.

De VVD heeft kiezers verloren aan CDA en D66, maar kiezers gewonnen van PVV en NSC.

Infographic in 2 delen:
waar komen de VVD-kiezers vandaan? 15% van PVV, 10% van NSC.

De overige percentages zijn laag.

2025-10-29 23:24:55

Het verlies van GL-PvdA lijkt voornamelijk veroorzaakt te worden door de winst van D66. Daarnaast is er per saldo weinig winst behaald door kiezers bij andere partijen weg te trekken.

twee infographics:
Waar komen de kiezers vandaan? 75% van de kiezers nu stemde vorige keer ook GroenLinks-PvdA. Alle overige percentages zijn laag.
Waar gingen de kiezers naartoe? 22% van de GL-PvdA stemmers in 2023 ging nu naar D66, verder zijn de percentages laag.

@roelgrif@mstdn.social
2025-10-29 23:15:11

Wat in ieder geval weer blijkt is dat de peilingen voortaan beter achterwege gelaten kunnen worden.
In geen enkele peiling is voor GL-PvdA minder dan 23 zetels voorspeld.
Zelfs met onzekerheidsmarge erbij komt het nauwelijks in de buurt van de 20.
