The PC I was using to give a computational physics lecture this morning did a Windows update right in the middle of the lecture.

Wow, spatial ads for #visionos. Yuck.
But visionOS apps don’t get glance data so .. something doesn’t track here. Maybe they’re just tracking SwiftUI?

There's no longer any denying it. The US and Russia are now allies, aligned against Europe. And we need to scramble like mad to work out what to do.

Photo: “The Plessurfischer” in Chur, Switzerland.
A stunning mural titled 'The Plessurfischer' by Fabian Bane Florin in Chur, Switzerland. The artwork features a lifelike portrayal of an elderly man in a fisherman's outfit, seated with a fishing rod. Monarch butterflies flutter around him, adding vibrancy. The mural is painted on the side of a multi-story building, with the backdrop of majestic mountains. Created for the Street Art Festival Chur, it captures a serene moment in nature with incredible detail and realism.
