Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

The time cost for generating code keeps dropping thanks to LLMs. Code is important in a sociotechnical system, but the more crucial bit has always been socializing the work. As in, you need folks that know the thing deeply enough to operate it and address novel failures.

what i'd like to contribute to the ongoing masculinity discourse is that the truest sign of a fella's manfulness isn't his strength or his height or his successes with women. it's not about his job or how he dresses. it's about whether he has a cell-level desire to dig a big hole at the beach

If you want to learn all about web components from a human then check this out: Web Components Demystified online course is $10 this week (it'll go back to the usual $25 deal after that). It's 8 hours of video lessons, or 4 if you listen at 2x, which wouldn't offend me at all. Use the code Just10.
