Won't be long now before the Belgian Grand Prix, held at the most beautiful race track in the world.

Mountain forests, onsen spas, and old towns. We stayed in Hida Takayama (飛騨高山) in the Japanese Alps, in Gifu Prefecture around the middle of Japan. In the main old town I noticed that there is a big Takayama Festival in the spring, to pray for planting rice and, in the fall, for harvesting, which is classic Shintō ritual. The parades are a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Property, a category I knew that Japan had introduced to UNESCO. There were many garages for the huge floats, a reminder that the Gion Matsuri in Kyōto isn't the only one, just the biggest Shintō festival. This was timely because I will give a presentation next week in Kyōto to Los Angeles collegiates on the requested topic of the Gion Matsuri.
While my wife and her friends were in a mountain onsen, I hiked around a mountain forest trail, often with just a narrow clearing to indicate the way. It was a rare and heavenly experience of primeval forest, with a river.
#DYK Did you know one of the first Online Dispute Resolution #ODR system incorporated into a public justice system is the Civil Resolution Tribunal #CRT in #BritishColumbia, #Canada? It was implemented in 2015, and its jurisdiction has been enlarged in small increments. It now adjudicates for 6 statutes, and lists others on its website.

I get really sick of hearing about OpenAI and the rest of the LLM crowd making absurd claims about LLMs like ChatGPT being AGI. LLMs are not even close to AGI. If you want to see real research into AGI, watch this video on Chris Eliasmith's Spaun (semantic pointer architecture unified network). It may not look as snazzy and consumer-ready as all these hallucinating LLMs being marketed to us, but this is the real deal: A single system that can do lots of different things the brain does and that LLMs can never do.

This is a #graphic that I came up with a few years ago. It has the slogan in 7 languages: #Spanish, #Arabic, #Hebrew, #English, #Esperanto, #Farsi, and #French.
I just had a vendor on Etsy make me a few #tshirts with it, and if you want one for yourself let me know. (I don't make or sell them, only the vendor does.)

Am I crazy for pushing back on "#JS #SPA frontend by default"?
For 2 years. I've been in a team working on a French public service business logic app, mostly lists and forms w/ neat UX.
The tech is boring. PHP, Symfony, Twig templates. Treat: Turbo, Stimulus, custom elements, for those required bits of interactivity.
Hell it works. It's fast. It doesn't break. We been updating deps monthly w/o breaking changes. Never had to rewrite!
Am I crazy, or are we fooled by the JS industrial complex?

Located on the Mescalero Apache reservation in the Sacramento Mountains, Inn of the Mountain Gods is surrounded by gorgeous scenery, with a top 50 rated golf course, spa services, and outdoor activities, including zip-lining, boating, biking and horseback riding.
For my birthday, I went to Wi Spa in Koreatown, Los Angeles.
I am absolutely coming back.
There are three broad areas: a men's area with hot and cold pools and nude saunas, a women's area with the same, and most of the spa is mixed gender. They provide shirts, shorts, and slippers for the mixed gender areas.
It's been great to sweat a lot in two saunas and the hot pool. I did a little exercise in the gym. But the most popular spots seem to be the relaxation spots -- the lounges in front of a television or the Korean and Western style beds.
Some people have brought computers; I'm not that much of a nerd.
I'm about to eat one of my favorite Korean dishes, spicy rice cakes, at a very low table.
Highly recommended!
