I do not understand this, why AI bots are hitting Wikipedia's bandwidth. You can just download the whole of Wikipedia as a data dump, if you want. Why would you need to spider it?

I am considering a camera for 4k video work.

It must deliver best bang for buck, ao £thousands for an amazing DSLR and lens combo won't cut it.

Vlogging cameras have disappointing levels of zoom. Mirrorless cameras are great, but going beyond the kit lens is expensive.

I looked at camcorders and am tempted, but have unexpectedly found superzoom bridge cameras the be a niche that ticks all the boxes. Didn't know bridge cameras were still a thing. Anyone got any experience here?

In other news, nothing can go wrong with using AI to rewrite Social Security code.

I am sorry to my US friends for this, but everything Trump does to break America is I think a good thing in the long run.

Even fascists govern with the consent of their people, and competent fascists ensure the place runs smoothly enough to retain that. This lot are not competent, and the more they break America the less chance there is of that happening.

My concern is for the wellbeing of American trans people, and that is better served by the wheels coming off the Trump project.

Tonight was #parkour night.

I set up the same basic vault I bailed 2 weeks ago in London, with a wooden horse next to a mat, and practiced getting it right.

I now have the special kick up technique which should prevent the same thing happening again.

My shoulder musclea all hurt though.

I need to set out the invitation, if you want to add a Hackaday editor to your next top secret Signal chat, I can make myself available.

I just resigned from one of my freelance gigs. Not their fault, more that the last few months have been very hard indeed and I have not been able to keep it up. Better to recognise it then fsck it up.

The problem I have with 20mph limits, street greening, ULEZ etc UK style is that they look overseas and do the thing because it's a good idea, without also putting resources into alternative infrastructure. So they make cities not fit for purpose for most people, and understandably those people get upset.

I've talked in the past about the Netherlands' secret sauce being integrated transport policy. Everything else flows from that, and outside London it simply doesn't exist.

If being environmentally sound is merely an extension of wealth willy waving, you are doing it wrong.

Amazing, how far a convincingly told lie can persist.

It's hard, when people I know do normal things with their normal families.

Things my family never did even before I was estranged from them.

There seem to be few limits to the depth of how fsk'd-up my family is.

If your family isn't broken like that, cherish them.
