WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (WAVY) — The Williamsburg Community Foundation is celebrating its 25th anniversary by donating $2500 to a local nonprofit each month.

A drawing was held during the foundation’s 25th anniversary celebration to select ten foundation supporters to choose the grant recipients.

Harold Philipsen chose BikeWalk Williamsburg to receive the grant in May. BikeWalk Williamsburg advocates for safe places to bike and walk in the city.

It seeks to create a network of sidewalks, bike paths and bike lanes that encourage the citizens of Williamsburg to bike and walk more.

The nonprofit aims to accomplish its goal through biking programs in the elementary schools, bike safety education in the community, Cycling Without Age to provide riding experiences for seniors, and the Bicycle Co-Op.

For more information about BikeWalk, please visit BikeWalk Williamsburg.

AI models have favorite numbers, because they think they're people
AI models are always surprising us, not just in what they can do, but what they can't, and why. An interesting new behavior is both superficial and revealing about these systems: they pick random numbers as if they're human beings, which is to say, badly. This is actually a very old and well known limitation that we, humans, have: we overthink and misunderstand randomness.
