Around 1900, parts of Guangzhou functioned as a three-dimensional city. Streets carried trade and crowds, while rooftops formed a second network. Night patrols crossed wooden bridges between houses, watching for fire and theft, moving above the narrow, dark alleys below.

As someone who works extensively with AI/LLMs, I think people severely over-estimate how good they actually are. They're good for basic things, basic content generation. But, they deeply struggle with complex problem-solving or managing/balancing multiple contingent parameters.

Looking back: On Jan 3, 2019, China’s Chang’e-4 made history with the first soft landing on the Moon’s far side. Landing in Von Kármán crater, the lander and Yutu-2 rover studied the region using panoramic and terrain cameras, a low-frequency spectrometer, and other instruments. 🚩🌙

Siri is so bad as a product that it shouldn’t even exist. If I was Apple I would have just discontinued Siri. It’s beyond embarrassing.

The Soviet Navy Project 861/MOMA-class intelligence collector "Ilmen" (SSV-472) passes the entrance to the Pearl Harbor channel as a USAF E-3A Sentry comes in for a landing at Hickam AFB. At right, the nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Sam Houston (SSN-609) heads for Naval Base, Pearl Harbor.

So sad seeing services go subscription-based ("enshittification"). 😩
I will 100% pay $30 *one time* to access premium features or an ad-free experience for a product or service. I *will not* pay $30 /yr for an ongoing subscription that does same thing. —I'll just not use that product or service. 🤷
