I often hear Americans & rich brits justify buying oversized, polluting vehicles by claiming they need them because they live in the "countryside".

I'm in a situation where it's very important I know immediately if someone speaks in a particular Slack channel. I need my phone to beep when someone speaks in this Slack channel.

My Android phone has Slack installed.
My phone's in DND, but Slack is set as a DND exception (all notifications).
Slack has all notifications enabled.
I go into Slack. I enter the channel. I tap the name at the top, click "Settings & details". It says "Notifications: All new posts".

So why is my phone not beeping?

I've been saying for a while that our inability to measure or value these models' lack of a viewpoint/theory-of-own-mind/rich internal goal and value structure will be the shoals a lot of the more "creative" outputs break on.

Now that we’re home, we were able to dig up a provisional leash that surely will last a few days until we can get a heavy-duty one. And I think I’ll institute a policy of replacing it every year for Christmas, because “it’ll last your dog’s whole life” wasn’t measured against Odins

The two days of not being able to use his halter were difficult because he wasn’t getting his usual sensory feedback and wasn’t aware of how much harder he was pulling me around.

This New York Times video journalism -- caution, it's graphic -- about Trump goons' murder of a Minneapolis woman is essential. No both-sides bullshit when one party -- the regime and its vile propagandists -- is relentlessly and provably lying.

I'm often hard on the Times for its relentless failures to properly cover this regime, but this piece is the real thing.

I know probably nobody cares about this on here, but:

if you're writing a song, and you don't want it to be boring, you can use more than one sentence structure in the song. Like,

"I'm gonna do the thing. I'm doing the thing. We did the thing. The thing got did, yeahhh" is not great. Adding adjectives to it doesn't really make it more compelling. That isn't to say there isn't room for some "I'm gonna do the thing", but you don't want it to be the only thing right?

If you haven't protested before now, people who've been protesting from the start will be completely fucking thrilled to have you or any other newcomer. No "where were you before." People do that shit online, not in the real world where we need every person we can get.

Discover your community of street protesters and discover some of the most awesome and fun people you've ever met. The harder core the anti-Nazi, the less purity testing and pretense.

RE: https://toot.cat/@zkat/115860108367572702

I am not dissing this idea or list at all. I like the idea of it, and all the use cases currently on display for uses of AI /LLMs are some of the worst examples of using it, making LLMs totally shit at many things. I definitely do not like the “Jesus (in the form of LLM ) take the wheel” idea of coding. It lessens everyone by robbing us of learning opportunities and the joy of discovery and mastery of a skillset.

That said , I think there are reasonable practices and use cases of true AI Assisted coding , stress on “Assisted”, where the ultimate last hands on the code should be a human be it in the form of a thorough review and testing. This won’t reduce the amount of bugs that slip through but how would that be any different than now?

This comes from looking at the KeePassXC response to concerns of them using AI/LLMs, and their response seems pretty reasonable to me, where nothing that goes in, is not reviewed and they’re very open about its usage. Whether or not this actually plays out in practice, time will tell.

There is currently no real-time, easy way for underwater inspection drones to send their large data signals through the water. Japan-based electronics maker Kyocera is developing optical communication to improve data transfer underwater. https://spectrum.ieee.org/underwater-communication-kyocera?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline

And a very merry fuck you to every Democrat who informed me that we shouldn't stand up to the ICE death squads because that would just "give Donald the justification he needs to escalate the violence".

Fascism does not need your permission to escalate the violence. It is inherently violent. It mandates it.

What I'm listening to today: "Ambient improvisation 4 (Soma Enner + Cosmos)", Più

Cosmos is an "asymmetric looper"—a loop pedal whose loops are of varying lengths and so can drift in phase against each other. Here it's fed with tiny sound fragments (with such sources as small plastic frog, whose shape is sonified by rubbing it against the Enner's case and spring reverb) to build up an all-enveloping ambient soundscape partway between a rainpipe and a horror movie score.

Every natural number is the sum of forty-nine palindromes
Article by William D. Banks
In collections: Fun maths facts, Integerology
It is shown that the set of decimal palindromes is an additive basis for the natural numbers. Specifically, we prove that every natural number can be expressed as the sum of forty-nine (possibly zero) decimal palindromes.

표준 독일어(Hochdeutsch)는 특정 지역에서 유래했다기 보단 중립적인 문어로써 발전했는데 하노버 지역 사람들의 방언과 제일 유사하다고 합니다 (그 지역에서 유래했다는 뜻이 아님) 표준 독일어가 국가별로 깨진 건 비교적 최근의 일인데 대신 맞춤법은 범국가적으로 협의를 거치고 특히 꽤 최근인 1996년에 독일어 맞춤법이 전면 개정됐습니다. 현재 발음대로 맞춤법을 개정해서 일관성이 높습니다.

since I can't actively work on it right now: I feel like the thing the escodb i/o scheduler does must be very similar to things that compilers, CPUs, and disk controllers do, i.e. rearrange a bunch of data accesses under some constraints to make them go faster. but I've no idea what to search for to find prior art I should be aware of. anyone know?
