  1. ‏وكالة #فارس عن مصدر #مطلع: #أمريكا عرضت على #إيران يوم أمس #هدنة لمدة ٤٨ ساعة و #إيران ردت على هذا #المقترح في #الميدان وبالنار وليس #جواباً #مكتوباً.

    #FarsAgency reported from a #knowledgeable source that the #US offered #Iran a 48-hour #ceasefire yesterday, and #Iran responded to this #proposal on the #ground with #fire, not a written #response.

  2. Regarding #Github, #Microsoft, and "AI"...

    There was a lot of unease when Microsoft, famous for hating open-source / free software for so long, bought Github. The worry was Microsoft would return to their anti-competitive ways and use Github as a cudgel against its perceived ~~enemies~~ competitors. But no, they declared, Github would forever remain independent of Microsoft, running for the benefit of the world. There was no reason to #distrust them.

    Then, of course, recently they memory-holed those promises, and said Github would no longer be #independent. Instead, it would operate as part of Microsoft - specifically as part of their #AI unit.

    Why AI? Well, to use Github's mountain of code and user data to train their #LLM, of course. The LLMs that are #copyright violations at mass scale, and that despite any PR claims really are intended to allow customers to replace expensive, #knowledgeable #software #engineers with their #plagiarism machine.

    In response, many have closed or stated their intention to close their Github accounts.

    To that, I say: don't. Closing it sends a brief message, and nothing else.

    Instead, keep your #account and #repositories. Create new ones. Not for your real use - check in your buggy, non-working #code. Check in #broken code generated by their (or other) LLM. Pollute the #training #data. Merge idiotic unrelated PRs. Check in stuff that doesn't build, doesn't run.

    Throw those #sabots in the machine. Make it serve a purpose.

  3. Many #Black #Californians #report adjusting their appearance or behavior — even #minimizing questions — all to reduce the chances of #discrimination & #bias in #hospitals , #clinics & #doctors’ offices. Of the #strategies they describe taking, 32% pay special attention to how they dress; 35% modify their speech or behavior to put doctors at ease. And 41% of #Black #patients signal to providers that they are #educated , #knowledgeable & #prepared .

  5. #NonsenseAlcea #WorthlessKnowledge

    The term #servicefactory, coined in 1989 by Richard B. Chase and Warren J. Erikson, represents the idea that the factory can be a source of customer service in addition to a place where products are manufactured. Since those who make products (#factoryworkers) are often more #knowledgeable about them than those in field service
