The Wilderness Society: New tool spotlights wildest places across contiguous U.S.. “A new tool developed by The Wilderness Society maps the wildest places across the contiguous United States, revealing places furthest from roads where nature is relatively intact, the night sky is dark, and nature’s sounds are not drowned out by traffic or other industrial noises.”

Only in a stupid world would this be true. But that's the world where McArdle lives.
AI is an existential threat to colleges. Can they adapt? washingtonpost.com/opinions/20…
in reply to Jeff Jarvis

If AI can consistently perform academic tasks well enough that college professors--people who are ostensibly experts in their fields--believe that the work is high quality and cannot tell a human didn't do it then the tasks are a waste of time for students. I don't think AI can actually pass that test, and if it did we would just be forcing educators to use more personal and direct means of evaluating students' knowledge than assigning and grading five paragraph essays.

"Many young students have a talent for programming; they are fascinated with computers and eager to learn how their systems work. With proprietary software, this information is a secret so teachers have no way of making it available to their students. But if it's free software, the teacher can explain the basic subject and then hand out the source code for the student to read and learn." gnu.org/education/edu-why.html

Ohhh this is SO exciting... Now I just wish I could help with Monado compatability on my Samsung Odyssey+ so I could keep it in Linux. I wanna dev for VR so bad!!


This is the third picture I've made with Corel Painter, and I'm still getting used to it lol. There are a lot of options compared to the simplicity of PaintTool SAI (especially since I never bothered to get brushes for SAI). Either way, I'm just having fun. :) I also used to use GIMP, what do other people like to use?

I did make a time lapsed video of this one, yay! It's posted on my YouTube. :) Enjoy, all!

IRAN MISSILE LAUNCH TOLL

181 Iranian Ballistic Missiles

As of Wednesday morning, the fatality list includes:

Israel:
0 Dead

Palestinian:
1 Dead

Iranian Revolutionary Guards:
5 Dead (missile launch misfire)

Israel has vowed a counterattack, but it appears President Biden has talked common sense into Netanyahu.

Expect a counterattack on the oil and / or Iranian nuclear industry; far short of what some hard-line, far-right Israelis wanted.
