Is Star Trek: Starfleet Academy the first Star Trek with a bisexual at the helm or what lol #starfleetacademy

Took me three taps of the send button to send an iMessage because while it showed visual response to my taps, it didn’t actually perform an action 🫠
This should be embarrassing
Today I once again remembered this is a thing that exists
"We all have a skeleton in the closet." Wrong. My skeleton has been openly bisexual for years.

If not friend, then why friend-shaped? 
EU, it's time to go after US tech corporations. Force then to pay corporate taxes in the country they generate profit from. Get serious about privacy violations. Break monopolies. Subsidize our own alternatives.

There is some kind of intermittent drumming sound outside and she is concerned.

Disney deleted a Thread because people kept quoting its movies at it https://www.theverge.com/news/863980/disney-deleted-anti-fascist-thread
"Apparently, Disney either couldn’t handle the anti-fascist messaging of its own movies or was too afraid of pissing off the powers that be, because it quickly deleted the post."

My evening thought:
ActivityPub/Mastodon works best for groups of people that share some common interest. People with a "we" attitude. Where we talk eye to eye, not from top to bottom.
Centralised social networks however have made many of us believe that all social networks focus on people with a "me first" attitude. The more egoistic people that base their value on metrics like followers and reach.
That's a fundamental dilemma that pops up every time people move from "there" to "here".
indeed. i keep having a similar discussion with web folks. "engagement" and "time spent on page" are easy metrics to measure but not always a good judge of quality. maybe the reason i have to spend 3x time on a page after an update is because you've made it much harder to use.
i like the fediverse meeting of equals or shared interest much better. yes, the "metrics" seem lower but the quality of the interactions is much more satisfying.

George is still maintaining weight. Started supplementing her every day food with hydrolyzed wet food. She looooves it. Licks the plate clean. I could cry tears of joy.

Does anybody else find it annoying that tech consents don’t have a “no” option anymore? Like Venmo just sent a push notification asking if I want to open a debit card and the options were “Yes” and “Maybe later.” Not later, Venmo. Stop asking!

Alright, slapped a basic egui wrapper on my Smalltalk-80 VM and now I can poke around in the browser and inspect its source code.

Again and again and again, ICE starts gathering in a spot, maybe even starts targeting someone — only to disperse and flee as soon as they’re afraid too many observers with cameras are going to show up. They really, really, really do not want to be seen.

conversation I had today:
- is it a nonprofit?

Well I didn't expect to visit a Castle today, but I did! 🤣
You know that thing where you say something to a friend and then a few minutes later you get an ad for it on your phone?
That has NEVER happened to me.
Another future is possible. Some of us are already living in it. More should join in. It's better here. More connective, less destructive.
One of the biggest statistical biases one encounters when trying to assess the true success rate of AI tools is the strong reporting bias against disclosing negative results. If an individual or AI company research group applies their AI tool to an open problem, but makes no substantial progress, there is little incentive for the user of that tool to report the negative statement; furthermore, even if such results are reported, they are less likely to go "viral" on social media than positive results. As a consequence, the results one actually hears about on such media is inevitably highly skewed towards the positive results.
With that in mind, I commend this recent initiative of Paata Ivanisvili and Mehmet Mars Seven to systematically document the outcomes (both positive and negative) of applying frontier LLMs to open problems, such as the Erdos problems: https://mehmetmars7.github.io/Erdosproblems-llm-hunter/index.html
As one can see, the true success rate of these tools for, say, the Erdos problems is actually only on the level of a percentage point or two; but with over 600 outstanding open problems, this still leads to an impressively large (and non-trivial) set of actual AI contributions to these problems, though overwhelmingly concentrated near the easy end of the difficulty spectrum, and not yet a harbinger that the median Erdos problem is anywhere within reach of tehse tools.

This is probably not going to work, but I'll give it a try anyway.
Who wants to adopt this pet project? 
#Berlin personal pickup only. It cannot be shipped.
I have this little pet project that has been sitting here for 6 years now. I made it as a prototype for girls day 2020, to teach girls about electronics. Of course girls day 2020 never happened. 😞
Anyway. I spent a couple hundred euros making this thing. There's documentation and replacement parts galore.
For $REASONS I need to get rid of it now. For free.
It's a great project for learning how to code with an Arduino nano, and/or to learn about basic electronics. There's enough material to build a second cube.
I'll probably have to trash the hole thing if nobody wants it 😞
Edit: I'm surprised people are interested 🤩 ... I also have a heavy cardboard box with replacement parts and actually enough parts to build an entire second cube. Also to give away. Ideally to the same person, but if interests differ I'll hand them out separately. Making an 8x8x8 cube is a loooooot of tedious work though!
