This section header design screams LLM and now I see it everywhere. Sometimes the subheader really really doesn't add value.
Subheader: THE LISTENING PROGRAMME
Stay for another side.

I'm in Jakarta, Indonesia. It's hot, but I've never seen temperature this consistent across days before. It's not actually rainy btw.
Over 10 days, all peak temps are 33 C and all low temperatures are 25-26 C

"Electric bus" is "Elbuss" in Swedish, but my silly brain keeps reading it as "El bus"
A side profile of the front of a red bus in Sweden. "Elbuss" is printed on it in white.

TIL that if you skip GitHub actions workflows using something like github.com/dorny/paths-... instead of paths:, they are still marked as successful, and can be required checks. This is huge for monorepos.
The GitHub PR merge panel. 3 required status checks are skipped, but the PR is still merge:able.

At some point, the bus station displays here in Stockholm must have switched to e-link. Or at least that's what I think it is.

Imagine naming your company after torch.exp(loss)
loss = model(input_ids=inputs["input_ids"], labels=inputs ["input_ids"]).loss

ppl = torch.exp(loss)

print(f"Perplexity: {ppl.item():.2f}") >> Perplexity: 4.26

Right down to the more yellowish bottle in the background being slightly taller.

Found this old diagram of mine
A diagram titled "Communication structures" with a legend for start, reply/comment, large relative reach, small relative reach, and a screen/feed for a person. It illustrates distinct structures for DM, Group DM, and various social media platforms. The diagram for Twitter/Bluesky/Mastodon/Threads stands out, showing a more evenly distributed network of interactions where comments and replies have a similar relative reach compared to the initial post. This contrasts with platforms like Instagram/YouTube/Facebook/LinkedIn, which depict more centralized content and hierarchical reach.

Which plugin tho?

Looking back, it seems like iOS 11 was the first version that almost completely had good contrast in Control Center. iOS 10 on the left.
iOS 10 vs iOS 11 contrast in control center. Some text is hard to read in iOS 10. Some icons are hard to read in iOS 11.

This was kind of a thing in Sweden. It was called Blåvitt (blue white).
A still life arrangement of various grocery items with labels visible. Items include "SENAP" (mustard), "GUL SÅPA" (yellow soap), "RIS" (rice), "CORN-FLAKES," "POTATIS-MOS" (mashed potatoes), "KAKAO" (cocoa), and "PLÅSTER" (band-aids). Each package is white, with a blue background for the white label. There is noy other colors nor imagery.
