I don't particularly agree but this is a vastly more useful form of protest than, well, a lot of what passes for anti-AI-boycotting these days.

Just be aware that the US media fanning the flames of 'Ukraine corruption scandal' is another page right out of the Russian information warfare playbook.

I just found a perfect gift for anyone with trypophobia. Maybe arachnophobia, too.

@Alice oh no. This totally changed my perception of nonagenarians, too.

PSA: My (almost adult now) children are interested in switching to using hyphenated family names of both their parents. It's going to take some effort to update all their legal paperwork, but to support them I'm going to start using the hyphenated family name in that format as well -- at least unofficially. I'm still the same person and you can still just call me "Kay."

(Yes, yes, I know "Ryabitsev-Prime" is a mouthful and sounds like an alien world or a doomsday comet. You're just jealous.)

Did the scouts Morse code activity yesterday, and I think it went pretty well. For the hands-on challenge part of the meeting, each patrol had a lock box with prizes inside, and to find out the combination to the lock they had to decipher three clues that were given to them in morse code.

For this part, I Claude-slopped together a small static page that was preloaded on an iPad that we gave to each patrol. Here's the one we gave to the Alpha patrol:

https://kaoti.ca/morse/alpha.html

It uses flashing lights instead of sounds because patrols worked fairly close together in the same room and the sounds would have been distracting.

The takeaway is that some kids have real trouble telling all-dashes letters from all-dots letters (such as O/--- and S/...) when they don't see/hear them next to each other. This was surprising to me, because I've never really expected anyone to have any trouble with telling those apart, but then I've always had a musical ear.

Sharing this with others in case you want to run a similar activity and want to reuse my idea. Since the app was slopped together, it's in the public domain and you can use any number of online ROT13 translation sites to encode your own messages.

This 1965 Soviet cartoon predicted "prompt engineering."

You don't even need to understand Russian to appreciate it.

Lol, the US admin literally took the "peace plan" written by Kremlin and pretended it's their own after a half-assed translation. This was obvious to anyone who's ever Google-translated Russian into English and then had to change all passive voice constructs because they sound really off in English.

I almost feel bad for Marco Rubio. He is capable of so much more, but he's like that Roomba in the viral video -- stuck spreading an orange shitstain in wider and wider concentrical circles over the carpet of world politics, while the rest of us stare in horrified disbelief.

@mcdanlj the goal is not to learn how to ham, though. The goal is to assist recall when you happen to need to use Morse code years or decades later. Mnemonics is superior for this purpose.

@mcdanlj I was taught via memory phrases (BOB-is-the-man, GOD-SAVE-the-QUEEN, etc). They were standardized in USSR but I see that English doesn't really have a standard set.

I'm teaching scouts Morse code at our next meeting, so I'm trying to relearn all the mnemonics in English. And, boy, apparently something you've learned as a 12-year old is really hard to get out of your brain. I'm afraid I will forever have to back-translate "Π©" into "Q".

Trump has now set a deadline for Thursday next week, where he demands Ukraine signs an agreement to meet Putin’s demands:

β€” No NATO membership
β€” A reduction of its military to just 600,000 troops
β€” Accepting the loss of Donetsk, Luhansk, Crimea, and most of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia
β€” Forcing Ukrainian elections within 100 days

While Russia will
β€” Reenter the G8
β€” Have all sanctions lifted

This is not a peace agreement. This is capitulation.
