  3. Becoming an “entrepreneur” in the Nederlands

    Here stats a semi-ironic, pseudo-serious thread narrating my journey in Dutch bureaucracy.

    Today’s challenge is coming to Rotterdam’s Kamer van Koophandel (KVK), the Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands, to start a sole-entrepreneur business 😱

    As you can see, I am not terrified. It consoles me to know that @barbs was here last week and she survived 😳

    To be clear: I STILL AM ANTICAPITALIST but you gotta pay rent somehow.

  4. The Eagles picked Cole Payton in the 5th round, following their past success with NDSU players. He is a dual-threat QB with good stats.

  5. Remarkable statement from @SaharVahdati in her #MUDCon opening keynote. She reports from her team's work of developing multimodal models capable of solving simple puzzles, #HumanIQ respectively #NIMI (nature inspired machine intelligence, github.com/NIMI-research/Hybri)
    It's stats show that humans are still much better than current models. Sahar asks: and now imagine we would ask those models to solve the climate crisis?!
    See also mitpress.mit.edu/9780262049955
    Also, Sahar heavily refers to Kahneman's book.

  10. One of my biggest #gaming pet peeves in #RPGs: #helmets, #hats, #caps and #capes.

    Don't get me wrong, if the #stats are good, I'll equip them. But 99.9% of the time I will immediately hide them visually if the #game allows it.

    A rogue's worn leather cap, a #thief's hood, a #warrior's iron bucket on their head... all hidden. The only exception? If an #armor piece genuinely looks stunning, we're talking a truly unique, well-designed #outfit that actually fits the #character.

    A carefully designed #character face buried under generic headgear? Not on my watch. A #cape flapping around like they're auditioning for a #fantasy theatre production? Also hidden.

    #Immersion is visual too.

  14. All has gone very quiet on the #botnet front. But that has exposed a new botnet, stealthily crawling away.

    I've started giving them names - is this a bad sign? Am I getting too attached?!!

  19. Resīdεntә – Resīdεntә (2017, Puerto Rico)

    Our next spotlight is on number 581 on The List, submitted by @dan.

    Puerto Rican rapper René Pérez Joglar aka Residente (stylized as Resīdεntә) was the lead vocalist, songwriter, and one-third of the incredibly popular/influential/important Puerto Rican urban hip-hop group Calle 13, alongside his siblings Eduardo Cabra aka Visitante and iLe aka PG-13. Or, seeing as Calle 13 is technically only on hiatus (since 2015), I suppose I should say he was/is the lead vocalist of Calle 13. For that matter, just from reading the Wikipedia article on Calle 13, they deserve a LOT more than a handful of adjectives to describe what they were/are all about. I’d for sure be interested in digging into the history of the reggaeton genre in Puerto Rico (and Latin America in general) and how/why Calle 13 wasn’t/isn’t reggaeton. And I’d love to delve into what all the Calle 13 members have been up to since said hiatus. Plus maybe throw out some stats about all the awards they’ve all won…perhaps note their Bad Bunny connections at least in a footnote…not to mention digress into an entire sidebar about the independence movement in Puerto Rico and how we need to decolonize all the things…and, while we’re at it, enter a plea for a Fedizen to add a Bad Bunny album to The List so we can maybe come back to some of these things in a later spotlight…

    At any rate, following the release of Calle 13’s fifth (and, so far, final) album in 2014, the members of Calle 13 each went on to pursue their own solo careers. The album we look at here is Residente’s debut solo album.

    In addition to carrying on the often satirical and sociopolitical nature of his lyrics for Calle 13, in this solo album Residente also continues on Calle 13’s penchant for using a variety of international sounds, but turned up to 11. Indeed, having taken a genealogical DNA test and finding out he had ancestors from many different corners of the world, Residente visited those corners and collaborated with local artists to record bits for the album, bringing in local sounds from each of those places he literally shares DNA with. The result is a whirlwind sonic world tour and an album chock full of amazing sounds such as Tuvan throat, Peking opera, and Dagomba tribal singing, as well as some Tuareg guitar, South Ossetian drums, organs, brass bands, etc. etc. etc. And while most of the collaborators were otherwise unknown artists, some other friends and family also join in including sister iLE, cousin Lin-Manuel Miranda, actor John Leguizamo, and composer Goran Bregović.

    Chances are, you’re going to want to listen to this stellar album a few times, and then go down the rabbit hole…

  21. Gaza Ministry of Health looks like they might be are UNDER reporting war deaths.

    Gaza's war death stats look somewhat like Russian #COVID data, which is to say, they look suspicious, but they definitely DON'T look like an over count.

    🔗 thelancet.com/journals/lancet/ 🔗 the Lancet article this data is from

    It zig zags up, looking like real world data, then on about 27 October 2023 it simultaneously drops AND shows possible under-dispersion (a statistical term meaning the number per day is suspiciously consistent). It looks a bit like when #Russia were refusing to report more than 800 COVID deaths per day, but it' isn't quite as severe.

    🔗 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/ 🔗 "Underdispersion: A statistical anomaly in reported Covid data" Dmitry Kobak

    This is unfortunately unlikely to be a real reduction because, despite reported war deaths in the general population halving, deaths of UN Workers increase.

    It is possible the Government of Gaza are deliberately under-reporting deaths, exactly like Russia were during the pandemic. (Realistically if you started - or massively escalated - a war, and
    got tens of thousands of people massacred by a much-better-armed enemy, you might not fully admit to how bad things were getting?)

    But in this case I think it's more likely that deaths per day have exceeded Gaza's capacity to report them. Despite the constant accusations, the numbers Gaza's MOH are releasing are not just an estimate, they are only the named identified dead, they exclude anyone trapped under rubble and possibly those who ended up buried in mass graves (mild "citation needed" but I've heard that from moderately reliable sources and I'll believe it till I see a more reliable source refute it).

    But it doesn't just hit a ceiling, something very suddenly goes wrong with their data reporting on 27 October 2023 (+/- 2 days) … I've not yet found what this corresponds to, but it might be around the time the #IDF ground invasion of Gaza began?
