So they have more than 10x knowledge.
From Flock's nationwide surveillance to ICE tools, we are being watched. Is there anyway to go back now?
"Police love telling each other about the new capabilities and tools that they've acquired, so this tech can spread from city to city very quickly."

Safe Streets for All = Protected Bike Lanes on Hopkins!
Join us for a rally and ride this Thursday, March 12, 4:15pm at King School Park.
“Go talk to a librarian”
“No, it’s too slow.”
Who needs to think about topics or actually do research when you can ask an LLM to give you an answer plausible enough that you feel satisfied regardless of the actually truth?
(A lot of very smart people, sadly.)
I am not feeling attached to it anymore. Fresh start. It's been almost 20 years!
Names in the running:
Embrace the Friction
Live the Chaos
Sticks and Carrots

You know my weakness.
Was ready to start my newsletter tonight but I can't think of a name.
The newsletter will come though! And it will be like every other newsletter only it will be written by me.
Hopkins Street is back, but the news isn’t good. A new proposal would pave the street without previously-approved bicycle and transit improvements.
Learn more at our Hopkins Teach-In on Monday, March 9 at 7-8pm (virtual).

I was going to start a newsletter this weekend, but instead I worked a snack shack and watched videos about Japanese stationery.
I'm finishing up a couple of work things at the Cal baseball game. My kid's friend just asked, "Kendra, are you really doing work?"
Kid, this report ain't going to deposit itself in the repository.
NTS - Documentation Studies
Today I learned that it's better to brute force an array of countifs than it is to spend a week asking LLMs to calculate head to head matchups in a league game schedule.
I remember when she was researching and writing the book!
It's always a treat when students who have studied table tennis and competed at a high level play ping pong in the library.
Integrating AI slop tools into library resources is a good way to really degrade trust in library resources.
But you know, it's all inevitable. 🙃
“Grievance always misses the joke.”
What’s a good 26” wheel bike for a tween who will be bike commuting in all weather?
I would put one in my collection but don’t want to deal with paying for it.
New meta-analysis of 26 published studies concludes that AVs will lead people to use cars a lot more — which would thicken congestion and worsen pollution (even if AVs are electric).
"AV deployment is anticipated to lead to an overall increase in Vehicle Miles Traveled."

They would kill me.
And when I say they were attacking the truck, the turkeys were pecking at the tires and bumpers.
The big one turned and gave me a very menacing look, as if it was saying, "You're next."
I’ve been told developers like traffic.
I owe the @berkeleyca.gov worker who got out of their truck to try to get some wild turkeys (who were attacking the truck) to move out of the street. They distracted the turkeys enough that I was able to ride by without the turkeys turning on me.
(They’re fine and we laughed about it up the road.)
I am into the idea if starting fresh. I am realizing it’s not always great to hold on to the old ways.
I've been on wordpress for almost 20 years, but I also think it's kind of a mess. Is my old blog worth saving?
I won't mess with that platform.
I'm tempted to move to Ghost for a fresh start.
