The painting whose immediate censorship in situ ensured it would be widely seen around the world in photographs.
If it was a #Banksy, the UK destroyed an artwork worth the price of a very nice house.

@matt Hah, yes, right you are. I remember the annoyance when some larger application caused DOS to deallocate COMMAND.COM, so when it exited, I'd have to pop a DOS disk back in drive A: before I could get back to the prompt.
One of the many things finally getting a hard drive helped with!

Israel is a terrorist state.
A terrorist state that is committing genocide.
Anyone who does not understand this at this point does not want to understand it on purpose and is a genocide denier. (And thus complicit in genocide as genocide denial is the last and final stage of genocide.)

#Hamas isn't committing #genocide.
#Israel is.
#Hamas isn't bombing and killing innocent civilians in Qatar, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and elsewhere.
Israel is.
Hamas isn't ethnically cleansing the Israeli people.

Hamas isn't starving the Israeli people and creating a famine.
Israel is.
Hamas isn't committing crimes against humanity.
Israel is.
You should learn your history.
Palestinian land was given to Zionists by the UK in 1947.
Land the UK didn't own and had no right to give away.
Why didn't the UK give the Zionists the Isle of Man or the Isle of Wight? Or land in Wales or Scotland?
Oh yeah, because the people there would have been pissed.
How would you feel if the US came in and gave your town away and kicked you, your family, your friends, and everyone else that lived there out so Israelis could live there?

The world clock in Google's current clock application centers the HH:MM:SS clock with a fixed padding on the left and right side.
However, it is not using a monospace font.
Meaning that the digits jump around left and right (and also extend/shrink to the top and bottom) every second, most noticeably when the second goes x0 → x1 → x2.
I am at the same time very and not at all surprised that this made it to prod.
For the past few months I have been visiting daily the home pages of Wikipedia's English and Italian (my native language) editions. Since featured articles and highlights change every day these pages are incredible resources for discovering facts, stories, places, and connections on all sorts of topics.

ИИ — просто мешок слов. Как перестать видеть интеллект там, где его нет
Наука — это «задача сильного звена»: даже если мы произведём в миллион раз больше посредственных исследований, окажемся там же, где и сейчас.
Если нам нужно больше действительно сильных работ, чем же наполнять "мешок" LLM? Можно забивать его статьями, но часть из них — сфабрикованы, часть — просто ошибочны, и все они содержат неявные допущения, которые могут оказаться ложными.
К тому же часто не хватает ключевой информации — нет данных, недостаточно подробно описаны методы.
Предприниматель Маркус Страссер, пытавшийся сделать компанию из серии «положим все статьи в "мешок" → ??? → профит», в итоге отказался от затеи, заявив, что «почти ничего из того, что действительно делает науку наукой, не опубликовано в виде текста в интернете».
Даже лучший "мешок" в мире бесполезен, если в него не положить правильные вещи.

Или: Claude, пойдёшь со мной на выпускной?Слушайте, я не знаю, уничтожит ли нас когда-нибудь искусственный интеллект, сделает ли он нас всех богатыми или что-то...Ксения Мосеенкова (Habr)
«Мешок слов» — не супруг, не наставник, не босс и не раб. Это инструмент. Его предназначение — снимать с нас рутину и усиливать наши способности. Его социальный статус — отсутствует; бессмысленно спрашивать, «лучше» ли он нас. Настоящий вопрос такой: становимся ли мы лучше, когда им пользуемся?

Libervia CLI tip 6:
Most commands have an `-O, --output` option to format the output. By default, the output is pretty formatted for humans, but you can output in JSON, XML, or other formats.
With `template` output you can use Jinja templates, either built-in ones (the ones used in the web frontend), or your own; useful to build static HTML pages/sites, or reformat the data the way you want.
Use `--help` to see available outputs
it's a Mormon trap, otherwise don't fall for it. Silver isn't something to really invest in
edit: deleted link
the Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market and managed to acquire a third of it but when they couldn't get loans anymore and the exchange halted silver futures contracts it's not like they could just sit on their silver and only sell what they needed to cover their loan repayments. They couldn't sell it fast enough obviously and they weren't going to stop mining it. So it all spiraled and crashed.
TLDR They'll mine silver faster than you can buy it, it's not that scarce
@feld
Good TLDR lol
It's "It's a Morman trap" just a phrase in your part of the country that means don't trust it or do the Mormans have anything to do with this?
Like "it's a Communist plot"?

Why are there so few affordable EVs in Canada?

Because our Government is sold to both the oiligarch and the auto industry. So they put tariffs on those who dare to make affordable ones.
