Understatedly epic to witness the Hetch Hetchy water arrive, after its journey from the Sierra mountains, 167-miles away.

Road my bicycle way out across my new neighborhood to the Pulgas Water Temple, where the aqueduct of Hetch Hetchy water arrives on the San Francisco peninsula to supply fresh water to all us thirsty beings.

It’s really something to visit an architectural landmark to infrastructure that everyone takes for granted now.

I feel like getting older is realizing that the world is so all encompassing of the senses that you can begin to recognize that there is something beyond those senses, in the moments of overwhelming demands, when what is in front of you is so decisively ignorable that a fifth dimension opens.

Temperature this morning dropped to 28°F again here at my place in #sonomacounty despite the weather apps reporting 10° higher.

The is a pattern now. It seems like the #weatherstation ‘s like airports & MADIS are accurate, but Apple weather and others seemed tuned to some observation model that no longer holds true.

Humans are magical ✨

We love people, feeling empathy & prioritizing others needs.

We learn socially, as we go, outpacing evolution in our lifetimes.

We create art from practically any materials we find, expressing reflections of our own experiences.

We invent tools to help us solve problems, and tools to build more sophisticated tools, resulting in things like computers and rockets.

We completely reinvent ourselves when circumstances around us change, by force or choice.

Hey y’all, it’s not just Apple! All these #AI / #LLM generated texts are inherently flawed. There’s no “mental model” of meaning, no cogent facts perceived, no adaptation for the audience. It’s just statistically-formulated word soup 🍜

In futzing with the US’ IRS.gov site to protect my identity with a PIN (https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/get-an-identity-protection-pin), I found that the centralized ID.me login service supports secure 2FA methods (OTP apps, Passkeys, hardware keys), along with the ability to remove SMS from a profiles methods. Dare I say it seems secure? Now if only my banks supported 2FA beside SMS!

Renting a home with a seven-year-old split #heatpump, and I finally completed DIY re-insulating the refrigerant lines.

Felt an immediate wintertime difference: the heat mode blows hotter, and rarely goes into defrost mode now!

“The start-up [#OpenAI] presented plans to build data centers that would each require the power generated by approximately five large #nuclear reactors, enough for almost 3 million homes.”

It feels like #humanity is missing the plot these days.

The #earth is crashing. Our thin film of environment between us and the deep, cold, corrosive, #radioactive #universe is choking.

This wasn’t even a “#policy issue” during the most poignantly recent United States #election, but IT IS OUR COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS.
