Boston has revised it's traffic light standards to prioritize pedestrians instead of only car throughput. I see this as a "cultivation of safety", though I agree the article could do more to explain it.

 

Traffic violence is a preventable public health crisis, experts said during a road safety webinar. Federal funding will help, but cities also must cultivate a “culture of safety,” one mayor said.

Any news I can get through RSS and some blogs. I'm at the very start of writing a program to read news letters from email and generate an RSS feed. It's a shame so few news sites offer RSS.

You can take this to the extreme too by erasing your root partition each boot: https://grahamc.com/blog/erase-your-darlings/

Using that method you isolate all important state on the system for backup with zfs send.

Awesome! It looks like there's already a nixos module for lemmy too!

Here is my config and others I've used as inspiration:

I think another reason OpenAI talks about how scary LLMs are is that they fear the open source models surpassing them. I didn't see it mentioned in the article, but both Google and OpenAI have called for regulation and I think that they only want that because they have no moat.

I just passed 200 recently. I don't mind a long list because either i have books i really want to read already on hold at a library or I will use a script to randomly pick one.

That was a great video! The read 30 minutes a day goal is what got me back into reading.

I haven't read any of his work before but I just started Crime and Punishment. I really like it so far.
