  2. 'The algorithmification of society and the narratives used to make it appear #inevitable serve specific interests, mostly profitable for and controlled by few actors. It is not AI in itself, but utilitarian sophistication of optimisation mechanisms (..)'researchgate.net/publication/3

  3. "I was rather shocked to see an officer fire a single #beanbag shotgun round into the crowd, pause, then fire another three rounds in rapid succession. Bean bag rounds should only be used on an individual engaged in a violent act – not aimed indiscriminately into a crowd." calmatters.org/commentary/2024

  4. Retire? Yes. But Only in Style.

  5. James Denney, Scottish minister, writes on the parable of Lazarus & the Rich Man (Luke 16:19-31). The rich man went to hell for not aiding a poor person at his doorstep. This teaches that the rich need the poor, to show they’re humane. Humanity enriches our lives.

    Today, are we more concerned about using the state to sweep away any poor persons from our midst? Would we have no opportunities to exercise humanity?

    How can you enrich your life?

  6. I made the mistake of starting to learn about GEMINI from its Frequently Asked Questions document.

    It's not aimed at people like me, who already understand the benefits and tradeoffs of static content servers. So it drives lots of points home, repeatedly, that I already know.

    It's apparently aimed at the same sort of monoculture Chrome+Apache Think for HTTP that parallels the old BIND Think and Sendmail Think that #qmail and #djbdns were up against years ago.

  7. Reports on #Somalia's new entry ban for #Taiwan passports fail to explain Taiwan's advice against citizens visiting #defacto independent #Somaliland too. Missing piece: Per UN's #ICAO, Somaliland airspace (but not airports, land borders) falls under #Mogadishu air traffic control.

  8. Richard Allestree, Anglican minister, writes on the parable of Lazarus & Rich Man from Luke 16. He notes that the rich man, the Glutton, who did not aid a starving Lazarus on his doorstep, is sent to hell. Allestree wishes that everyone would give this lesson the import that it needs. He says every degree of unmercifulness that we show to others, comes back to haunt us.

    How can you respond to the needs at your gate?

  9. I’ve started writing an article on #ArkScript blog, to show how it differs from other Lisp (since ArkScript is just Lisp inspired, not aiming to be a complete lisp replacement/variant)

    So far I’ve talked about scoping, namespacing, declaring variables and functions, touched quoting and data types.

    What is an important point for you when looking at lisp like languages?

    (Btw here is the blog arkscript-lang.dev/blog/)

  10. @chadnotchud

    it's chronological, what you see is what's being posted or boosted in real time, not ai/algo driven as seen on the #birbapp or elsewhere

    you should see the top two pinned posts at @feditips, you'll find those helpful

    going forward you'd probably want to add alt text to screenshots and images, people are more willing to consume those posts

    and add as many hashtags as you can fit :)

  11. CW: Students using AI to "assist/fix" their English essays

    I suppose it was only a matter of time, but I just saw my youngest using #QuillBot to help him "fix" his English essay. While it states that it is not AI (in the way that #ChatGPT is), as a "full-sentence thesaurus" I wonder how much of a crutch something like this could become. Clearly he won't be able to use it in exams, but arguing with him about how he shouldn't use this generations calculator seems somewhat pointless. #StrangeNewWorld

  12. Apple has issued a rare apology for an iPad Pro ad that faced widespread criticism for depicting creative tools being crushed into an iPad. The ad, criticized by actor Hugh Grant for promoting the "destruction of the human experience," will not air on TV.

  13. Edit: Just found out that this is imagery from a regular Apartments dot com ad campaign. This is not AI slop.

    So Apartments dot com is trying out the Taboola AI slop method for their Apple News ads featuring Jeff Goldblum. It is not going well. #AppleNews #Taboola

  15. As I don't really dare to use my treadmill now 😭 I started a ride on Kinomap for the bike. Let's see how this one goes.
    I'll never win the race, I'm also not aiming for that. But it's fun to ride and let the area you're route is in decode your intensity.
    I'm only 1,8km in and even on 90% it's very heavy for me. But I'll try! Or else I'll lower the setting to 80%. It still needs to be fun.
    Hopefully the BT connection will stay on for the whole ride.

  16. @shmarkus @java_discussions there is also #py4j which is quite successful, for instance it powers the popular #pyspark. And #GraalPython which could hopefully provide a sort of replacement for #jython on the long run, although the authors do not aim for that

  17. There's some #2mSSB #tropo #hamradio going this morning. When there's contacts being made across the Bass Strait, where there are precious few aircraft movemets, you can be pretty sure it's not aircraft scatter propagation.

  18. And if you're coming to MAGFest and are a chiptune artist - there's a place that wants you to visit. Any type of chiptune music as long as it's not AI nade or hate speech fueled

  19. Saturday Morning Fun

    Taking myself back to Saturday mornings as a kid watching cartoons and playing with toys 😁 Effects have been added in PS, but are physical toys in the woods not AI/CGI

  20. Glider flight controls. How does the control stick make the ailerons work? (And what about those flaperons?)

    The video is in three sections. (Sorry about the abrupt jump cut edits.) First section shows the control stick moved side-to-side to move the ailerons. That motion is carried by various push-pull tubes and bellcranks...aft of the landing gear. In the second section of the video we see the lever for one wing goes up while the other goes down.

    But I have flaperons, not ailerons. The third section shows the result of moving the flap lever...the same wing control levers now move up together, or down together.

    The mechanical mixer allows two different control inputs (control stick sideways motion, and flap lever) to be combined into one final motion.

  26. Kilyn Lewis family files wrongful death lawsuit against Aurora Police in fatal shooting

    “His teammates, noticing all he had in his hand was a mobile phone, which he did not aim at any of the officers, saw no reasonable justification to fire a shot at Mr. Lewis.”
