5yo: “Do I have a toonie?” They want to donate the money to Terry Fox🫶 They even want to do house choirs so they can donate more in the future😭 Impressive! Have I thought like this when I was 5!? Then they continued, “And when I get bigger, I will buy a net and catch a fish and feed it to eagles.”

10数年前もこんな感じだった気が。バグ管理は紙ではなかったけども。拝承。
2x年前の出来事とはいえ、
「バージョン管理は毎日共有ディレクトリ上にsrc.yyyymmddというディレクトリをコピーすることで実現」
「バグ管理はバグ担当氏が紙のバグ管理帳を持ってるのでそれに記入」
みたいな環境で働いたのはむしろ自慢すべき体験な気がしてきたな。

Being able to identify hoaxes, avoid scams & debunk propaganda is a civic skill required in today's information society. That's why curriculum of students in Finland includes media literacy lessons, aimed at safeguarding a precious resource: the truth.

Appreciate the option leaning about upsides of AI at #webSummitVancouver, and also of the environmental impact of AI. Reading:

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

One of the most amazing feedback I've seen with my employer, formerly Recollect, was from a blind senior resident who appreciated the recycle day reminders with auto-scheduled phone calls. Neither app notification, email, nor SMS wouldn't work for such people.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.
Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.
