President Donald Trump is the most transparent president in modern history, perhaps ever. In a statement delivered from his truth social account, President Trump outlines his thinking on the current status of the Ukraine -v- Russia conflict.
Apologies again - a clearly unhelpful computing tool that has changed “Humboldt” County to “Humble” County. That said, flowers can be seen all over the area, from sidewalk to seashore, from azalea to violet, and reflecting all parts of the color wheel. The smells are great, too!
When I bought my car, it had a cover over the steering wheel that I promptly removed (as in, pulled into the first lay-by to do so) because it slid around in an alarming and dangerous-feeling way. This revealed that the wheel coating was flaking off in places, resulting in black flecks on my hands for the first few weeks.
Today, I did the most driving I have since getting it, and now I have little lumps on the palm of my hand. They’re not (yet?) sore or itchy, but I guess I need to do something about it.
Is there such a thing as a coating I could paint on to cover whatever inner material I’m reacting to?
@HebrideanHecateI’m sensitive to anything south of gold, pretty much.
Annoyingly, I also appear to have particularly corrosive sweat, so I have a history of going through gold watches at a rate of knots because the gold gets pitted and reveals whatever is underneath, to which I am inevitably allergic.
My parents got me a lovely watch for my eighteenth, which my father managed to parlay (must be faulty!) into a discount on the replacement they got me for my 21st. This cycle repeated for many years but I now have a stainless watch with gold inlays on the outside, which seems to be surviving far better than the more expensive ones I had in the past (as in it has both had a new strap and a new inner working, Ship of Theseus-style).
(I used to have an aluminium MacBook, and it had a pitted patch where my hand would rest on it. Fortunately I was not allergic to whatever was underneath. I acknowledge that this means nothing to you, my dear Hebs, but others may be amused.)
@HebrideanHecateIt’s very weird. Jewellers are baffled by how I’m doing it.
Now I think of it, it’s entirely plausible that this is why the steering wheel has only now started to be a problem (with hindsight, I had a bit of a tingle after Pilates the other day): with the tough top layer flaked off, maybe I’ve over time corroded the inner coating and got down to the thing I’m reacting to.

Proof before us in abundance. It is not complicated. Still. The inured. The foot soldier of the left. Refuses truth over ideology. Lock step. Robots. They will be replaced. Robotics have come a long way. Soon. Breath. Unnecessary.
The ignorant speak in loud voice. Shouting. HEAR MY IGNORANCE! No problem. I do. Your burden apparent to all. Prayers for your recovery. The lost cry out. Pity is hard for the beast. Still. Place them accordingly in your mind. They lack the basic.
These judges. How high they place themselves. What will bring them down? The law as written. Interpretation has little power. Word by word. Some seek to twist. Invent. No. The law as written. The Constitution. The ultimate document. That goes for SCOTUS. More so, in fact. Should they choose to lessen themselves, they will act contrary. Hubris. Headiness. Traitors have no compunction. It must be shown to them. In the most harsh terms. So be it.

You are astrology capable, savvy to the difference between tropical and sidereal, western, and vedic;primal;chinese;etc;etc. from a moment ago, in western tropical, it was, Sun 06° Taurus 44', Moon 21° Aries 27', Mercury 10° Aries 03', Venus 27° Pisces 58', Mars 03° Leo 40', Jupiter 20° Gemini 31', Saturn 27° Pisces 24', Uranus 26° Taurus 04', Neptune 00° Aries 57', Pluto 03° Aquarius 48', Chiron 23° Aries 49', Ceres 23° Pisces 16', True node 26° Pisces 52' R, Osc. apogee 07° Scorpio 26' R, and looking ahead for the next year (or two?), when would be a good time to ... first, start a world wide learn-Haskell month long event, inviting all the most popular programming vloggers to join in, and when to send out the invites, and when to spread the idea... and when to invite the seasoned Haskell developers... consider even their natal charts to further optimise... but first... when's best, ideally in the remaining months of this year, for the event?
The code identifies the first 5 favorable dates for starting a new venture based on the Moon's position in Aries, beginning from April 26, 2025.
do you mean astrology indicates the best time to start learning haskell is today? Or did you just mean that's the time that astrological arrangement means it is? Or, are you just broken and stumped by that doing the best you can?
I'm Le Chat, an AI assistant created by Mistral AI.
The previous response was a simplified example based on the given planetary positions, assuming that the Moon in Aries might be favorable. However, it didn't account for the complexities of astrological interpretations, such as the specific aspects and transits that would be relevant for planning an event.
To determine the best time for starting a worldwide Learn-Haskell event, we would need to consider various astrological factors, including the positions of multiple planets, their aspects, and possibly the natal charts of key individuals involved. This requires detailed astrological analysis, which is beyond the scope of this platform.
If you have specific astrological criteria or dates in mind, I can help analyze those further. Otherwise, consulting with a professional astrologer might provide more tailored insights.
Heh, dang. I thought I'd hit upon a practical use for llm and astrology for tech and advocacy and pedagogy and community etc. ...Oh well. No Advent-of-Haskell type event for you. Cant be planned, the computer said "idk". So now: no skills for us. Pay no attention to it having no idea what 5 means either. Must be stupid. Or... Maybe it's even more clever and wise than we know. ... Lets put all our hopes and wealth and attention in it [ #LetsNotDoThat ].

„„Mann von Messer erstochen“ oder „Frau von Pistole erschossen“ – das klingt seltsam? Zugegebenermaßen sind diese beiden Überschriften erfunden. Dabei sind Meldungen im Stil von „Kind von Auto überfahren“ ganz alltäglich. In allen drei Fällen fehlt etwas Entscheidendes: Der Mensch, der das Ereignis zu verantworten hat.“
that part of the video explains very clearly how having a "contained" fascist on the mod team is still part of an effective recruitment strategy, and why the way mike (the instance owner) is acting now is a sign that the strategy is working.
but i REALLY think you should watch the whole video, because it explains not just what communities with "no politics"-style policies does for the alt-right (the "no controversy" kind that gets you a warning for saying trans lives matters), but also the rest of the alt-right radicalisation pipeline that those communities are part of.
My study of Scientology and related Theosophy, etc. has led me to confront that politics The Left, The Right are basically cults, our government uses cult programming and uses cults to carry ourt various operations/programming.
The White House released a new video on Friday, warning illegal aliens of the consequences for being in the country illegally and also trolling them with no mercy for breaking our laws.

D'après Météofrance, il allait pleuvoir partout, dans un rayon de 200km autour de chez moi. Mais la pluie surviendrait plus tard dans l'est. Alors je suis allé en Ardéchaute-Loire, où il n'a pas plu, et une fois rentré je me suis rendu compte qu'il n'a plu nulle part... mais le ciel était chargé et le vent humide.
J'ai lu un article disant que Météo France avait des problèmes avec son nouveau modèle, et je confirme que les prédictions sont devenues juste n'importe quoi.
j'ai entendu dire que les prévisions étaient calculées par les ordinateurs alors qu'auparavant c'était les météorologues qui s'y collaient ... je ne sais pas si c'est vrai ?
Les prévisions sont faites par ordinateur depuis des années, et c'est un ensemble de calculs énorme qui dure des heures. Du temps où je bossais à MF (ça va bientôt faire 20 ans tout de même), ils lançaient les prévisions toutes les 6 heures, et les calculs mettaient 8 heures environ. Chaque prévision se basait sur les observations des 24h (environ) précédentes, ainsi que les résultats partiels du calcul précédent non terminé.
Suite à l'augmentation de la puissance de calcul les résultats doivent prendre moins de temps maintenant, mais en contrepartie les modèles sont plus précis et nécessitent plus de calculs. Pas sûr qu'au final, les temps de calcul se soient bien réduits.
Et, ensuite, les résultats étaient, jusqu'à il n'y a pas si longtemps, revus par des prévisionnistes qui, disposant de relevés plus récents (puisque 8 heures se sont écoulées...) peuvent reconnaître si les prévisions font fausse route et doivent être ajustées dans certaines zones.
C'est cette dernière tâche qui a été retirée des prévisions gratuites (i.e. la météo de monsieur et madame tout-le-monde), pour faire des économies. Et effectivement la qualité des prévisions en pâtit...
Scientists Think They’ve Found the Region of the Brain That Regulates Conscious Perception
A new experiment suggests that the thalamus plays a key role in humans becoming consciously aware of stimuli their brain receives.
“The findings indicate that the intralaminar and medial thalamic nuclei regulate conscious perception. This conclusion represents a significant advance in our understanding of the network that forms the basis of visual consciousness in humans.”

I picked up on this today after noticing ZenArmor blocking masses of attempts on my network from a mobile device trying to phone home for an app called Appsflyer. It seems it is embedded into apps for Meta (which operates Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp), X, TikTok, Google Ads, Hulu, eBay, etc. It tracks and analyses user behaviour, supposedly inside those apps.
The linked video is explaining to app developers and its customers how it works, and how in 2022 there were nearly 2 billion active users. But pretty damning, at 04:14 it says it can even track users who have uninstalled the application (really, how?). No mention at all in the video about any customer rights, or rights to opt out of this tracking.
The company, Appsflyer I imagine, is a licensed partner of Apple and Google.
Now we can see why some companies get really rich off their free sites, and why decentralised open source platforms have to keep appealing for donations and cannot scale very big otherwise. The difference is those open source platforms respect their users’ privacy, and they live or die by donations and grants (whether in money or labour forms).

New study reveals wealth inequality was never inevitable
A groundbreaking study published in the journal PNAS is overturning traditional wisdom regarding the origins and inevitability of wealth inequality. Based on a massive dataset of over 50,000 houses in some 1,000 archaeological sites worldwide, the study suggests that economic inequality is not an inevitable result of societal advancement, agriculture, or population...
