Today was big cookie day. Got to break out my weird cookie cutters for the pepparkakor. None of these cookies are going to make it home with me. My family are locusts.
Hundreds of thousands of Cuban people participated in the mass demonstration against the six-decade US blockade of Cuba and the inclusion of Cuba on the US state sponsors of terrorism list.

I'm daily using FreeBSD and Gentoo with "-systemd" global use flag, so I didn't closely watch to the latest news from the Linux world.
But, really?! They removing text logs from /var/log?? I bet, at 2026 there will be binary database for configuration instead of text files in /etc/ and /usr/local/etc/ 😁
Implemented a few things in #OpenCrystalCaves like this odd, autonomous mine cart
Also enhanced the level editor to show tile ids and unknown tiles - this should help reverse engineering a lot, I don't have to squint at a hex editor anymore!

Neurosymbolic AI -- Why, What, and How
Neurosymbolic AI is a hybrid approach aiming to bridge the gap between neural networks' ability to learn patterns and symbolic AI's capacity for logical reasoning and explainability.
This approach may offer the best of both worlds combining robust learning from data and clear with understandable reasoning based on knowledge. It has the potential to outperform systems relying solely on either neural networks or symbolic logic and to provide clear explanations for its decisions.
The approach involves encoding structured symbolic knowledge into a format that can be integrated with neural networks and then mapping information from neural patterns back to structured symbolic representations.
Neurosymbolic AI -- Why, What, and How
Humans interact with the environment using a combination of perception - transforming sensory inputs from their environment into symbols, and cognition - mapping symbols to knowledge about the environment for supporting abstraction, reasoning by anal…arXiv.org
Another example of how UC Davis can win "Bike Friendly" awards while still being very car-centric.
This intersection used to have wooden bollards. UC Davis driving employees & contractors would unlock them and leave them out. I kept putting them back in. Someone didn't like that so they put concrete in the sheaths and installed screw-in flex posts instead. Which driving employees took out.
I've been poorly so I haven't been putting them back in. Tried today - the holes are too full of compost.
The wooden bollards were better than these screw-in flex posts, but the fact is that the car-centrism is so bad at UC Davis that it makes its best compost in the sheaths that are supposed to contain bollards.
They need heavy duty metal bollards. If it's "too hard" for abled driving employees to take them out and put them back once they've rolled through, they need to get retractable ones. Because right now a lot of $ is wasted on equipment employees themselves vandalize & steal.
oh man. I hated my Texas Instruments engineering calculator so much, I sold it the second my college statistics class was over. It cost $50 brand new in 1984.
BTW, my dad was a cartographer for the Air Force in Alaska, before it was a state. He had to use a slide rule (obvs.) and he hated it.
