> As one New York financier told Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett, new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.
Oh, the humanities!

Amazon - which started out as a bookstore - is now destroying books so they can train computers to replace authors.

Hi everyone! Just a quick reminder that due to the current DRAM/eMMC shortage, there isn't any plans to continue producing more Linux devices in the near future. Whether production continues or not depends on the pricing situation for those components after mid 2027.
Devices like the PineNote and PineTab2 are currently estimated to run out of stock in three months time. Just pre-warning everyone in case people start asking when things are going to be in stock again.
Meanwhile, devices like the PineTime, PineVoice and Pinecil will continue production as usual!
As for the PineTime Pro, currently the demo firmware has basic drivers for the display, touch, motion, GPS, buttons, heat rate sensor (chip id only), battery charger, motor, microphone and the speaker. Though some issues do need to be ironed out first before a pilot batch begins production.
That's it for this post, all in all it's a bit bleak for the Linux devices, but in the meantime PineStore still have a great lineup of MCU powered devices which will continue to expand with more exciting devices.
Alrightttttt, have a great Monday! (or Tuesday, if you're up that early)

This is not about your copyright, safety or any human concerns.
This is a way to prevent the models from ingesting their own output, and limit scraping to only original human (high value) content.
Remember these people buy up old (human authored) books with the container load only to rip them apart to give their models a slight edge.
It is a way to steal your original content more efficiently.

Penanganan demonstrasi di Jayapura perlu belajar dari wilayah lain
Wamena, – Ketua Umum Komite Nasional Papua Barat ( KNPB) Pusat, Agus Kossay menyatakan kepolisian di Kota Jayapura dan Kabupaten Jayapura, Provinsi Papua perlu belajar dari tiga kapolres wilayah lain di Tanah Papua, dalam menangani demonstrasi.
Pernyataan itu disampaikan Agus Kossay menyusul sikap polisi yang dinilai represif dan berujung terjadinya ricuh dengan demonstran di Perumnas III Waena, Distrik Heram, Kota Jayapura dan Sentani, Kabupaten Jayapura saat demonstrasi memprotes Perjanjian New York, Sabtu (15/8/2026).
Kossay mengatakan Kapolresta Jayapura Kota dan Kapolres Jayapura perlu belajar dari Kapolres Jayawijaya di Provinsi Papua Pegunungan, Kapolres Nabire dan Kapolres Mimika, Provinsi Papua Tengah dalam menangani demonstrasi.
Katanya, Kapolres di tiga kabupaten itu dapat membangun komunikasi yang baik dengan demonstran, sehingga aksi di tiga wilayah pada hari yang sama berlangsung aman dan tertib.
Ketiga Kapolres disebut memberikan ruang demokrasi sebebas-bebasnya kepada rakyat Papua untuk menyampaikan aspirasinya, secara damai dan bermartabat.
“Saya mengapresiasi Kapolres Jayawijaya, Nabire dan Timika bersama jajarannya. Mereka ini yang benar-benar belajar hukum dan demokrasi, sehingga kemarin tanggal 15 [Agustus 2026] itu Kapolres Jayawijaya dan Kapolres Nabire dan Kapolres Mimila memberikan ruang demokrasi sebebas-bebasnya kepada rakyat Papua menyampaikan berpendapat di muka umum,” kata Agus Kossay, Minggu (16/8/2026).
Kossay pun mengacam sikap polisi di Kota Jayapura dan Kabupaten Jayapura dalam menangangi demonstrasi, yang dianggap represif terhadap demonstran yang terdiri dari para aktivis KNPB dan mahasiswa.
“Saya mau sampaikan kepada kepolisian yang bertugas di Kota Jayapura dan Kabupaten Jayapura bahwa tindakan represif adalah tindakan tidak terpuji. [Mereka] wajib belajar dari [kepolisian di] kabupaten tetangga,” ucapnya.
Katanya, sikap yang ditunjukkan k

"Netanyahu faces a challenging election on 27 October as he tries to hold on to power with a coalition that includes ministers taking a harsh line on Gaza..."
I suppose you could describe "genocidal intent" towards Palestinians living in Gaza as "a harsh" line, in a purely mechanical sense that those words technically apply to the atrocities. But uh? You'd be a piece of shit for doing it.
Oh hi there The Guardian/Associated Press; we was just talking about you...

@ivan_achlaqullah Yep. Springer punya banyak buku teks matematika bagus2 yang tersedia dari Wikipedia Library.
Banyak yang mengkritik Springer soal praktik di jurnal berbayarnya, tapi kayaknya beda kasus buat buku-bukunya.

Understandable kalau masyarakat mengibarkan bendera seperti One Piece, atau bahkan mengganti bendera-bendera lain. Itu sebagai tanda kalau sebegitu low-trust issue masyarakat kita dengan pemerintahan.
Jadi, argumen "jangan mengganti bendera lain", menurutku tidak valid. Argumen ini bisa valid, kalau dari pemerintahnya sendiri mau berbenah, mencoba meningkatkan kepercayaan publik, yang nyatanya presidennya sekarang seperti NPD, buta/tuli terhadap realita hari ini.

I had a fantastic time camping! Don't get me wrong, I slept HORRIBLY. Especially the second night. But because it was Bortle 1 skies and gorgeously clear, it was something like this:
"ohhhh my neck ohhh my hips owwww..." *opens eyes, looks up at perfect dome of stars*
"ooohhhh wow. Everything is fine. I am a tiny insignificant speck on a mote of dust, my pain doesn't matter."
Repeat every ~30 minutes all night.
