I'm not a sceptic who just walked away from Omelas and is criticizing it from the outside. I actually live there right in the centre, and am a valued member of its society that is worried!
Please people. DO MORE CRIME!
Funny AI story from a colleague: He's been doing some home electronics using his chatbot of choice to discuss using an IC for controlling a robot. They've been discussing using a 5V IC with 3.8V power supply. The colleague is doubtful, but good news people: The chatbot itself has been using this specific controller in its own home electronics project, and everything works really well there! 🤦
If I were a smartphone, I'd just block all the ads for new smartphones. Don't want to get your user getting wrong ideas.
Für die meisten von uns überraschend (= unvorbereitet) hat es zwischen 2-4 ordentlich geregnet. Der Stop an der Tankstelle danach gab eine kleine Verschnaufpause. Die Dorfjugend hat sich über die unerwartete Unterhaltung gefreut. 😅
Sternfahrt mit Nachtfahrt von Leipzig aus war auf jeden Fall ein Erlebnis. Wir sind mit zirka 100 Personen kurz nach Mitternacht gestartet.

They just disqualified the rider leading the race. 😮 They're not giving any details yet, but looks like it relates to breach of rules regarding "support". (Duh!)
The managers on my job want us go "full speed ahead" towards AI, and I'm wondering if they've been reading the Simple Sabotage Field Manual lately. 😢
Do they offer a volunteering opportunity at Whisky Trail Angels? THAT sounds like fun. 🙃
Josh might not be the fastest rider, but he for sure is the fastest videographer. (And it's a really good video.)
Ruby, the woman on a gravel bike, is in 12th place right now, after ~500k (3rd woman - faster than Hannah Simon). 😮
What a scratchfest! (Lee Craigie's was announced, but there are so many others.) 😟
Kerry MacPhee seems to be hot to get the female record. But there's at least 3 other experienced women with good chances. It's going to be interesting to watch.
With the men it's mainly Justinas. (Or do I miss someone?)
Two kinds of cylists. 😆
Notice the difference?

Intensive social media study shows: Everyone is very excited about Berlin-Usedom-Berlin (BUB) or Highland Trail (HT550). Anyone here taking on one of these challenges? #BikeTooter #fahrradbubble #bikepacking #ultracycling #steppenwolf #HT550
Rest day. Took a little too rough trail down and lost my sunglasses (thanks Komoot). Maybe also my own fault for wanting to do proper mountainbiking instead of gravel-bikepacking.
That's a nice concept for a online tool (still in alpha stage if I get it right). You can load a gpx file, input how far you're willing to go off route, and then it shows all relevant POIs that are known through open street map. The idea is that you can reexport the track with the POIs included.

Here's a bit more details.
Paragon is / was kind of a case of the most shared XKCD meme (#2347) of alternative cycling and framebuilding.
This has to be a joke?
