Morgen Solidemo für Matthias Ecke. Kommt vorbei.

all game (dev) should be open source tbh...

This week I look at how AI is improving the quality of writing in business reports, but also the way in which it poses a challenge for evaluating a report's content and logic.

Ultimately, decision makers should be more informed, critical, and aware of the potential limitations and biases of AI.

Drove to Indiana Dunes this morning, and then a quiet walk through the bog.

Early morning sun

Something that for me, as animal ethicist, was always very clear. Animals have a conscious life.
Consciousness, in its most basic form, probably is something very simple and nothing only "higher animals" have. Probably all vertebrales and non-vertebrates have some form of consciousness.
The typical human opinion on it is much too arrogant and egoistic

❗ So what we need are basic general rights for all conscious life ❗

Crooked Timber || Sunday photoblogging: pink salt lake at Gruissan

Antique heroin bottles.

When I was studying Latin in secondary school, we visited the Gallo-Roman museum in Tongeren, which had a *fantastic* exhibition about Roman dodecahedra. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron They're beautiful & nobody knows what they were used for? That fascinated me massively! I even made a cardboard replica.

So far, I prefer the spool knitting hypothesis. :BallOfYarn:

But just thought of a new use: decorative candle holder that can safely hold different sizes of candles. 🕯️ Has this been discussed before?

I learned the hard way, that it is essential to always have an endless-stockinette project laying around.

Now I have been sick for over a week, and simply no head/physical-space to do more intricate #knitting

But managed to cast-on a new tee last night, so 40 cm of endless stockinette ready to go :)

In a nice alpaca-cotton blend, soft yellow-white, sport-weight. (Lana Grossa, Cara).

Now I feel less empty-handed, recovering from a bad ear-throat infection that spread to my facial nerve 😢

Here's the next core concept video in the series on Nishitani's work The Self-Overcoming Of Nihilism, finishing up study of chapter 1, discussing how and where historically nihilism develops into an unavoidable problem

Good memories of great departed animal companions. These are of Sassy and Amica specifically, but I remember so many more of them: Magnus and Teensy, Mieux and Monkey, Little Boy and Little Girl, Cary and Bebe, the two Crickets, Lady and Mandy, Wilbur and Menolly, F'lar and F'nor
