@marcos thanks for reminding me I am indeed an old man 😂 Will I see you there by the way?

Looking for a convivial convo w me & Michael Moynihan covering everything from Snowden to Babbage to why Michael actually cares about privacy to our impoverished def of "AI" and the need to expand it?

🗺️ Day 13 — #30DayMapChallenge | 10 Minute Map

Today’s theme was all about speed: create a full map in just 10 minutes. ⏱️
I put together a quick Melbourne land-use map, showing how residential areas, parks, industrial zones, and transport corridors shape the city. Even in a fast workflow, the spatial patterns come through so clearly.

Holy Shit, #Valve did a product launch in 2025 and did not mention AI a single fucking time. So refreshing.

Does anyone remember an MIT Media Lab(?) project called Immersion(?), which let you input your email account and showed you your network of contacts via the to/from metadata? It's gone--but does something like it still exist?

(Asking for teaching, TIA!)

Ukraine's General Staff confirmed that overnight on November 13, they struck dozens of Russian and occupied sites using a mix of drones and domestically produced long-range weapons including Flamingo, Bars, and Liutyi.

Targets included a fuel depot and helicopter site in occupied Crimea, command posts near Berdyansk, and radar systems near Yevpatoria. Damage in mainland Russia is being assessed.

@Nicovel0 @DamonHD @TheBreadmonkey It’s a very normal place with very normal traditions.

@DamonHD @Nicovel0 @TheBreadmonkey The weirdest thing is that to be admitted as a barrister in England you literally have to attend 12 formal dinners.

Today is World Kindness Day.

The most simplest act of kindness is to wear a filtering respirator known as an N95 or FFP2. When it’s placed snug and securely on your face, it can significantly reduce the germs that might escape from your mouth when you cough/sneeze/speak, germs that you might not even know you have. Wearing this sort of mask can help prevent others from getting sick.

Nobody’s going to give you an award for this kindness. Some will be real assholes about it, in fact.

This girl tried to call her father during the day and the school prevented her telling her parents don’t need to get involved

She then takes matters into her own hands, hitting the bully that made AI porn of her… And she gets punished

Zero tolerance anti bullying rules are insane

@inquiline we should probably follow up on the whereabouts of Deepak Jagdish and Daniel Smilkov to know what may have become spinoff corporations: https://blog.ted.com/immersion-a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-a-tool-that-maps-your-life-based-on-every-email-youve-ever-sent/
