I'll admit that Mingus can be a bit too much for me sometimes.
But this particular record is INSANELY GOOD!
I got it on a reissue vinyl from 2001.

This might depend on what exactly you're doing. But it seems to me that Torch's AOTI is the closest we've ever gotten to compiling arbitrary python ahead of time to native code for multiple CPU/GPU targets.
To me it's mighty impressive!

When it comes to climate, the Global South is the future of the Global North.

This week a cyclone hit the Med. “One in 50 yrs event” etc. The pics are immense, the damage mostly in Sicily/Calabria.

As the Global South knows well, the event was received with much silence by much Italian media.

The only heroes in this story are the people who keep showing up at their personal risk of being beaten up, tear gassed, and detained.
Everybody else has let them down.
This is fucking heartbreaking.
Take notes Europe. Think who you vote for.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

That's a second CEO complaining people don't use AI enough in like what, 2 weeks?
Maybe make something useful and scale it reasonably?
Users don't care about sustainable growth of your companies. They care about added value. If it's not there or there's too many downsides, you need to do better.
I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Už se nemůžu dočkat, až s křikem "justice je politizovaná" současná vláda odstartuje čistky a výměny, který jí opravdu zpolitizujou, jak konečně sama ohlásila.
Bartončík a Bartončík argumentují něco, co sami musí vědět, že není pravda a může to mít dalekosáhlé důsledky. Z toho je mi dost zle.

Vláda,která si v každý možný situaci vybere tu horší variantu.
PETky jsou jedny z mála plastů, který jdou nějak normálně recyklovat. To ale nejde udělat s těma, co se nevrátí.
Je třeba si zvyknout obaly nevyhazovat, jinak se z toho znečišťování a plejtvání nevymaníme.
O zálohách víme, že fungujou.
Vláda odmítla návrh zálohovat PET lahve a plechovky. v Pro a proti na Plusu o tom debatují Petr Novotný z Institutu pro cirkulární ekonomiku a Jan Mraček z Hospodářské komory. Více v článku ⤵️ irozhl.as/zQt

Post 4 albums from you time in high school.

Funnily enough, all of these were a slight disappointment back then, I preferred the older stuff. In hindsight, I think I was too harsh, but still, none of these became my favourites.

PM Carney invoked Václav Havel to warn against “living within a lie” — the quiet compliance that sustains unjust systems. His message was clear: power persists when people go along to get along, and it breaks when even one actor refuses.

Důležitý detail je, že nová platforma vzniká na základech podpory UA.
Pokud se chceme ujistit, že je tam pro nás místo, musíme se zúčastnit a podporovat UA.

TIL: "The deal will not only help Europe diversify its exports away from the US, it will also improve its access to Mercosur’s minerals, such as lithium and copper which are essential for the climate transition."
Why the EU’s new trade partnership with Mercosur matters
"Against the backdrop of Trump’s aggression, Europe and Latin America need to cooperate more."

Přijde mi to jako prázdný gesto. Naše nablblá zbabělá vláda si stejně bude dělat co chce.
Ale stejně mi to nedá.

Jeden z bizárů belgický politiky je, že tu normálně fungujou marxistický strany. Tady jedna rozmlouvá předsedovi vlády (vlámskej separatista) nákup F-35 od USA.
Tak asi pro jednou se s komoušema shodneme? 🤷‍♂️

Journalists have ethical duty to report accurately.
I don't know if this comes from ownership pressure, playing into readers' biases, or complying in advance, but in any case it's despicable and it make all journalists look bad.
It's US level low.
Don't be that journalist.
How was this new report so badly twisted?

I think this is a really cool idea, but before it's a decent laptop replacement, we need:
- Better hw that doesn't feel like cheap laptop knockoff
- Better SW than Dex. Ideally full Linux desktop experience with Flatpack support and dev tools.
Then I could see wider user adoption!

The American dream is dead.
The country which oppressed people around the world used to look up to to find hope and strength is no more.
The soft power is gone.

This is beyond parody. The best satirical writers couldn't come up with this stuff. Reality is distorted beyond any rationality or logic.
My best guess is that's it's just despicable political bootlicking.
