I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

I don’t get why no one bothers to point out that micromanaging renovations of the reflecting pool aren’t even remotely the job of the president. Everyone seems to be cool that this is is primary policy focus.

I simply do not believe that Microsoft can lose 20000000000 bazilblahlahblah on AI every month but needs to fire everyone who makes videogames for them like they’re a mom and pop diner

Just had my first sumo citrus after being influenced by this gal on TikTok- Glo. Used her advice: good nub, granny skin, & “peel feel” like it’s separates from the fruit. And I picked a good one!

San Francisco has too many billionaires for this to be a problem. It’s time for a couple to step the fuck up. Any BART closure would be such a hit to the economy. Bet their employees use BART to get to work.
Faced with a budget deficit of up to $400 million, BART officials are weighing plans to close stations and eviscerate service. The cuts would wreak havoc on the Bay Area real estate market.
Bay Area home prices soar near BART. What happens if stations close?

Can we please FF to the stiff competition phase. Remember when Lyft & Uber were at war for most users and rides across the city were $5-8 dollars?!
Autonomous ride-hailing, long dominated by Waymo, has become a more competitive industry in recent months, with Zoox opening an East Bay factory and more companies entering San Francisco.

This is a fantastic read. And I simply must go on this tour. I’ve got questions for Greg!
Greg Bayol, a 77-year-old retiree that leads tours of San Francisco City Hall, knows a lot about this grand building — including what got the pigeons to stop pooping on the skylights.

Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID.
If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.

Got Luke’s blood results back. CBC & thyroid functions are good. No parasites in poop. Elevated creatinine is either dehydration at time of blood pull OR emerging kidney disease.
Next up, urinalysis…
He seemed to be a bit better this morning but not out of the woods yet.
