The title made me think 244 children (and not offenders) were arrested.

there’s nothing to do or at sea

Just being out on the sea is by itself a worthwhile experience, in my opinion. At least the first time. like flying, it is super boring sitting in a plane for multiple hours. But the first time being above the clouds is cool.

“hands-on” graduation project

Does hand-on mean supervised?

One has to wonder. They have the equipment, someone saw fit to buy and and then use it.

It’s real! https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/icon-of-the-seas

There is even a docker-compose.yml script.

You may have seen reports of leaks of older text messages that had previously been sent to Steam customers. We have examined the leak sample and have determined this was NOT a breach of Steam systems.

We’re still digging into the source of the leak, which is compounded by the fact that any SMS messages are unencrypted in transit, and routed through multiple providers on the way to your phone.

The leak consisted of older text messages that included one-time codes that were only valid for 15-minute time frames and the phone numbers they were sent to. The leaked data did not associate the phone numbers with a Steam account, password information, payment information or other personal data. Old text messages cannot be used to breach the security of your Steam account, and whenever a code is used to change your Steam email or password using SMS, you will receive a confirmation via email and/or Steam secure messages.

You do not need to change your passwords or phone numbers as a result of this event. It is a good reminder to treat any account security messages that you have not explicitly requested as suspicious. We recommend regularly checking your Steam account security at any time at

We also recommend setting up the Steam Mobile Authenticator if you haven’t already, as it gives us the best way to send secure messages about your account and your account’s safety.

Here is an AI summary in bullet point form: ^/s

• Title: The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking: Self-Reported Reductions in Cognitive Effort and Confidence Effects From a Survey of Knowledge Workers
• The study surveyed 319 knowledge workers to explore how Generative AI (GenAI) impacts their critical thinking practices and the perceived effort involved in these tasks.
• Knowledge workers primarily engage in critical thinking when using GenAI tools to enhance work quality, avoid negative outcomes, and develop skills.
• Key barriers to critical thinking include lack of awareness, time pressure, limited motivation, and challenges in improving AI responses in unfamiliar domains.
• Higher confidence in GenAI reduces the perceived effort required for critical thinking tasks, while confidence in their own skills tends to increase perceived effort, especially during evaluation and application of AI outputs.
• Participants reported enacting critical thinking in about 60% of the examples shared, often involving goal and query formation, response inspection, and integration of AI outputs.
• Trust in GenAI can lead to over-reliance, diminishing independent problem-solving and critical engagement, particularly in routine tasks.
• The study identified motivators for critical thinking, including the desire for quality work and skill improvement, alongside inhibitors like perceived task importance and job scope.
• Knowledge workers often conflated reduced effort with reduced critical thinking when satisfied with AI-generated responses, indicating a potential risk of complacency.
• The findings suggest that GenAI tools should be designed to support critical thinking by addressing awareness, motivation, and ability barriers among users.
• The implications highlight the need for feedback mechanisms in GenAI tools to help users calibrate their trust and confidence, ensuring a balanced relationship between AI assistance and independent critical thinking.

Edit: For anyone else finding their way here, the title of the linked article is (hence the joke):

“The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking: Self-Reported Reductions in Cognitive Effort and Confidence Effects From a Survey of Knowledge Workers”

I do not agree with the idea that humans are being trained to act like robots. Any company with a customer service department is likely tracking the root causes of their customers’ issues. With enough data, they can identify the most common problems and their solutions. If the goal is to resolve a customer’s issue as quickly as possible (which seems like a reasonable assumption), it makes sense to guide the customer through the most common solutions first, as that will likely solve the problem.

If someone works in customer service and repeats the same script daily, it’s understandable that they may come across as robotic due to sheer boredom. A skilled customer service representative can recognize when to use the script and when to deviate. However, if a company fails to hire the right people and does not offer a fair salary, those best suited for the role are unlikely to take the job.

It appears this was a Victim impact statement.

A victim impact statement is a written or oral statement made as part of the judicial legal process, which allows crime victims the opportunity to speak during the sentencing of the convicted person or at subsequent parole hearings.

From the article (emphasizes mine):

But the use of AI for a victim impact statement appears novel, according to Maura Grossman, a professor at the University of Waterloo who has studied the applications of AI in criminal and civil cases. She added, that she did not see any major legal or ethical issues in Pelkey’s case.

"Because this is in front of a judge, not a jury, and because the video wasn’t submitted as evidence per se, its impact is more limited," she told NPR via email.

And people say AI has no use. /s

Depends on the game and your hardware. Most games runs just fine under proton. Valve have done a great job there.

Hardware has never been an issue for me but I read here somewhere that they had 10-15% less performance on Linux. ymmw.

Anyone know where these files where originally posted?

I’m happy with Kagi. I feel like it is equal to Google in it’s prime.

Isn’t DeepSeek open source? Is there a need to reverse engineer it?

TL;DR: Author should stop promoting the book. Publisher can continue promoting the book.

Now we need Camelfarage

Their GitHub is active. I like to check in once or twice a year to see if there is anything new.

Title misleading.
