Check out this video depicting 2,104 never-before-seen asteroids discovered by the Rubin Observatory in about 10 hours of observations.
Seven of them are near-Earth asteroids, which fortunately pose no danger to Earth.
"Annually, about 20,000 asteroids are discovered in total by all other ground and space-based observatories. Rubin Observatory alone will discover millions of new asteroids within the first two years of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time."

Kaffee ☕ läuft und draußen ist es leicht bewölkt. Es soll bald regnen und stürmen, wäre schön für etwas Abkühlung.
Schönen Wochenstart euch Allen.

Överås är en lugn stadsdel som ligger mellan Lunden och Bö i Örgryte. Den har fått sitt namn efter Dicksons gamla sommarstuga (egentligen en liten herrgård) Överås som ligger i Bö. Skjutningen inträffade vid halvtolvtiden igår kväll och flera larmsamtal från boende i området kom in till polisen. En person blev skjuten och fördes till sjukhus. Han ska enligt polisen ha träffats av flera skott och vara allvarligt skadad.
Primissima bozza di un programma a cui sto pensando da tempo.
Secondo me una distribuzione come @ufficiozero che è pensata per le p.iva dovrebbe avere una panoramica veloce sui vari siti governativi, questo perché sono tra le interfacce che il cittadino/p.iva ha con lo stato e penso sia utile almeno sapere della loro esistenza e che si possono consultare velocemente.
I siti sono utili anche per i privati cittadini e le associazioni.
Spero di riuscire a terminare il progetto...

“The way this technology works means that generative AI applied to anything is a form of slopification, of turning things into slop. However, where AI is undoubtedly successful is as a shock doctrine, as a way to further precaritise workers and privatise services.”
Is a quote worth remembering and ‘boosting’.

“Critical thought is not something you can stochastically optimise, and I agree with Hannah Arendt that thoughtlessness is a precondition for fascism.”
Absolutely.

in reply to RaymondPierreL3 • • •Was tempted to ask how 'slop' had become almost instantly ubiquitous, did someone with a lot of clout introduce it to the world (but you all got too busy chatting 'the university' so the Q didn't really seem right and proper in the moment)?

“Critical thought is not something you can stochastically optimise, and I agree with Hannah Arendt that thoughtlessness is a precondition for fascism.”
“I want to conclude by emphasising that the proposition that the role of the university is to resist AI is not simply a defence of pedagogy, but an affirmation of the social importance of imagination.”
