L’IA a son utilité dans beaucoup de cas. La boīte de Pandore étant ouverte, il me semble plus utile d’apprendre à s’en servir que de multiplier les anathèmes.

Votre appel à la prudence est bien sûr justifié, mais vous faites l'impasse sur le fait que tout le monde n'a pas accès à un médecin traitant, que tous les médecins traitants n'acceptent pas de faire des analyses et, en l'occurrence, qu'une petite cure de B12 peut valoir son pesant d'effet placebo.

If anyone out there wrote a letter to their councillor and/or Mayor Andy Fillmore about #bikelanes in #Halifax and they want to send that letter to me, I would love to read them. You can send me a message here or to suzanne at halifaxexaminer dot ca

Il y a certainement des cas problématiques, mais faire des résumés est une des forces des LLM. Si ces résumés sont dûment relus et validés, ce n’est pas forcément un mal. Les LLM peuvent être une aide utile pour des scientifiques qui écrivent laborieusement ou dans une langue qui n’est pas la leur.

The report on addressing congestion in HRM was written by transportation professionals and draws upon substantial public input.
If the Province think HRM are doing so badly, they should release the report and refer to its recommendations

Je viens d’entendre un prof d’université dire que «Rome avait conquise le bassin méditerranéen». Je retourne ma veste: je milite désormais pour qu’on garde les règles d’accord du participe, même si elles ont été inventées par un grammairien enrhumé tombé dans une bouche d’égout au XVIe siècle.

Spain feels like a furnace these days—and we have just entered Summer. What is truly baffling is our collective resignation. How are we not outraged? How are we not demanding accountability from the actors driving climate change? The heat is real, but so is our apathy—and that’s part of the problem

Some of the people that added their notes to this map of the proposed AT network for Spryfield left incredibly thorough and thoughtful notes.

This is the last week to add notes about walking, wheeling, cycling, and transit infrastructure this side of the rotary. Public engagement ends Friday.

I bet drivers on Limardo Dr. wonder why cyclists ride in the middle of the road. The The height difference is about half an inch.

A street with a narrow strip of asphalt added on the right side, about half an inch higher than the rest of the road. The height difference poses a challenge for cyclists.

Yellow-throated Longclaw on the move…

📍Kigali, Rwanda.

#Birds #NaturePhotography 🪶

A large pipit-like bird with golden-yellow underparts and eyebrow, and a circular broad black necklace emphasizing the yellow throat. The upperparts are subdued streaky brown and the outer tail corners are white, which is a key feature in flight. Pairs occupy grassland and grassy savanna, especially close to water, or when it is flooded.
