We're having breakfast tacos with homegrown avocados** this morning. It's a long stretch between avocados if you're stubborn and only* eat your own.

Bananas are fine and all, but it's a sad thing when they manage to take over a republic.

LA In A Minute does a nice bit on the Sears building in Boyle Heights. It's almost 2 million square feet! I want it.

It would make a most excellent lair.

"The second wave of AI coding is here"

I am still a bit wary but there is obviously something going on here.

(The last time I tried it AI gave me code that ran but did not do what I wanted.)

The question is, was I too optimistic?

I checked in my local Craigslist and it looks like the formerly Windows 10 PCs are hitting the resale market. Good deals for somebody who wants a scratch machine for whatever project.

An example would be a dell, i5 quad core, 8 gb, 256 gb SSD, for $55

To put it another way, this properly is "paleo diet" science:

"Work carried out by an international team of researchers at the Gesher Benot Ya'aqov site on the banks of the Jordan River has revealed hundreds of different starch granules and other plant matter stuck to tools encased in sediment dating back some 780,000 years."

"Paleo Diet Debunked: Ancient Humans Ate Plants, Study Shows"

I think I'm old enough, and was reading things enough, to know how this whole thing evolved. The original "Paleo" stuff was based on archaeological evidence, was moderate in claims, and was not at all the bro-science "Paleo" that came later. That was taken to extremes and to absurdity.

Now that the bro version is done(?), can we return to the scientific version, or will it be off limits?

I fear the answer.

CNN Business has an article on Corey Doctorow's enshittification. Apparently seriously and without irony they have an HP printing service ad in the middle of it.
