What is Hackers' Pub?

@christianschwaegerlChristian Schwägerl I didn't ask anyone to do anything for free. You should read it again.

My cat has 100% subject mastery of the word "no" but seemingly does not know the word "yes." This is the knowledge asymmetry of someone who has never sought permission to do something in their entire life.

의미(sematics)를 반영하는 정보처리는 넉넉잡아 80년은 넘게 연구되고 있지만, 그 최대의 성과는 인간 언어의 의미부터가 불명확하다는 사실이었다. LLM은 애매한 기술로 애매한 언어를 처리하려는 어중간한 기술로 끝날 가능성이 높다. 완성을 평가하기 어려운 자율주행과 같은 난제에 빠져 있는 셈이다. ML은 더 명확하게 결과를 평가할 수 있는 분야에서 유용할 것이다.

출판만화 보면
가끔 본편 옆에 세로로 길게 공간이 있고 거기에 작가님들이 잡담 같은 걸 적잖아요
어릴땐 몰랐는데 거기가 잡지에선 광고가 들어가는 자리였다고 하더라고요
아무튼 전 그걸 열심히 읽는 파였어요

The whole point of society - all of this - is so that we are all enriched together, that collectively our lives should be better. We invented farms so folks wouldn’t starve.

But a couple thousand years ago a few assholes decided that personal enrichment is the most important thing. For the most part, we’re still going along with that bullshit.

The only way we survive is if we move back to shared enrichment. This coming year, think carefully about how you’re spending your money and labor.

Considering that ruzzia does not have functional nuclear arsenal, their attempts to sabotage Ukraine defence simply look as Kremlin operatives at work, and for me, 99.99% billionaires are exist as result of various criminal activity, as there is no a legal way to become billionaire in a lifetime. There are literally few luckies on planet who become billionaires due pure luck, as Bill Gates or Ray Kroc.
I suspect that some become billionaires as part of KGB/FSB operations cover-up.

For my fellow Cassandras.

The author talks about anti-alarmism in the mainstream media and among liberals (failure to recognize an actual emergency in progress - e.g. refusing to see MAGA as a real threat) as driven by men's gender insecurity and need to distance themselves from behavior that is female coded.

tl;dr

Cassandras are more likely to:
-be women
-belong to a minoritized group in some meaningful way
-have spent considerable amounts of time among conservative populations
-be clear, critical thinkers who can connect the dots between different types of bad behavior

If he had ever cared about sustainability, he would not have sold those CO2 certificates anyway, allowing others to pollute the planet.

Maybe people will believe his next lie.

Today, I redeemed a virtual gift card from my credit card rewards from the year, and donated the sum to:

- Wikipedia @wikipedia
- The GNOME Foundation @gnome
- The Internet Archive @internetarchive
- Servo @servo
- KDE @kde

I currently support #Drupal on a monthly basis

I'm also planning on supporting @elementary on a recurring basis in the new year

If you have a little bit of money at the end of the year, please consider supporting FOSS projects you use or appreciate! This is how we empower the next generation of open computing.

No context

Everyone seems to agree that getting your news from social networks is a bad idea.

Modern computers are fast: using FlatGeoBuf as the on-disk format, georust’s new Voronoi module can generate and save a Voronoi diagram from all 2,693,630 valid UK postcode centroids in ~10 seconds without jumping through any code optimisation hoops. The actual Voronoi generation takes just over 5s. That's single-core performance on an M2 Pro, and includes round-tripping the coordinates from WGS84 -> OSGB36 -> WGS84. If you exclude the projection work, it’s well under 10s total.

You might remember from primary school The Mitten, a Ukrainian folktale illustrated by Jan Brett, about a bunch of animals that try to climb inside a single mitten in the winter. The illustrator has a delightfully HTMLy web 1.0 website www.JanBrett.com

I just thought folks here would appreciate this :3

다음 해에는 말의 해네요.. 하나 새로 곧 작업할 예정... 그냥 재업로드로 이제는 커세어가 되어서 꿈결 물디네가 된 (리터럴리) 제 말 아갓씨를 봐주세요.... #oc

I think another part of the rut I'm in is that I've been reading the same #books for like two decades. GNU Sir Terry, I love your stuff, and the few stuffs by others I have, but I need something I haven't already re-read for a bit.

Suggestions welcome.

At this point, you shouldn’t know what day of the week it is. You no longer exist in space and time. You’ve regressed completely and all you know are snacks and naps

Oh, "space christmas" is a good word. Romjul. In German, one says "zwischen den Jahren", "between the years".

#LotR #Fediverse #Christmas

TIL: that weird, liminal space between Christmas and New Year, when no one knows quite what day it is, or what they’re supposed to be doing?

In Norway 🇳🇴 there is a word for this time period: romjul, literally "space christmas"

Happy space christmas folks ...

May your muscles unclench
May your breathing be even
May your sleep be uninterrupted
May your heartbeat be steady
May your weariness lift
May your stress dissipate
May you benefit from a regulated nervous system
May you find peace in the moment
