🔗 Yoink giveaway! - BrettTerpstra.com

I’m excited to offer the next giveaway, 4 licenses ($8.99 value each) for Yoink. This might be the last app in the series, I think — it’s been a good run (for over a year and a half!).Eternal Storms software is offering 4 licenses for their excellent utility, Yoink.

From the developer:

  • Yoink offers a “shelf” for files and app-content you want to move or copy.
  • Virtually anything you can drag on your Mac, Yoink can hold for you until you need it.
  • From files in Finder to app-content (like text from word processors or images from websites), Yoink has got you covered.

Brett Terpstra is giving away 4 Yoink licenses, so don’t miss the chance to win one.

Yoink, by developer Matthias Gansrigler is an essential tool for me. I’ve been using it forever, and now it’s part of my Setapp subscription. I could not use my Mac without Yoink.

Coupled with LaunchBar, I grab a file, or a bunch of them, I send them to Yoink and they’re ready to be moved anywhere, dragged into a MailMate message, or whatever action I want to do with them.

You need to try Yoink, you’ll thank Matthias later.

TODAY IS TALK LIKE YOU’RE IN PULP FICTION DAY -

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the stupidity of the needy and the tyranny of the arrogant. Blessed is he who, in the name of duty and justice, shepherds the weak through the valley of ignorance, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost causes.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who waste my precious time with their self-importance.

I got me a briefing to finish for one who thinks the sun shines out his own ass, and I’d rather have my damn leg mangled in a bear trap than cater to his delusions.

But yea, though my patience is tested, I shall walk the path of honor, because the righteous endure, and the petty fall by the wayside. (Ezekiel 25:17ish).

It’s 2 a.m. and I finally found the answer I’ve been looking for for days. I could not understand why an opposing counsel was so confident that the statute of limitations for the fine his client (the government) is requiring my client to pay is five years, when every regulation I’ve seen in the last fifteen years sets it at four years. It turns out that this branch of government has its own regulation and it is actually five years. But I also found a loophole for this particular type of fine, so I can go to bed (for a very few hours) with a grin on my face. I can still win this.

¿Y si los Gemelos Digitales Urbanos (GDU) fueran la clave para lograr la excelencia en los servicios públicos municipales? – Nosoloaytos

🔗 ¿Y si los Gemelos Digitales Urbanos (GDU) fueran la clave para lograr la excelencia en los servicios públicos municipales? – Nosoloaytos

Un Gemelo Digital es una réplica virtual de un ente físico que utiliza los datos en tiempo real enviados por los sensores del objeto, a fin simular su comportamiento en situaciones reales y ensayar diferentes situaciones. Por su parte, el llamado Gemelo Digital Urbano (GDU), también conocido como Urban Digital Twin, representa un avance significativoen la gestión y planificación urbana al proporcionar un modelo digital preciso y en tiempo real de un municipio (normalmente una ciudad). Estos modelos completamente digitales permiten simular, analizar y prever situaciones urbanas, proporcionando una herramienta muy poderosa para la planificación, la gestión de recursos públicos y la toma de decisiones en el ámbito municipal. Los GDU integran información de sensores IoT, sistemas GIS, imágenes satelitales, datos meteorológicos y de tráfico, entre otros.

Muy interesante esto de Víctor Almonacid, desconocía por completo lo de los gemelos digitales urbanos.

In today's example of how Google's AI overviews are the worst form of AI-assisted search (previously, hallucinating Encanto 2), it turns out you can type in any made-up phrase you like and tag "meaning" on the end and Google will provide you with an entirely made-up justification for the phrase.

OpenAI 4.o (mini) disappointed me too yesterday, when performing a search on legal matters. Completely made up a regulation, creating even fake sources.
