@info is a new 1-day fediverse related conference in Montreal in just a few weeks on February 24 (is it Fedi-conference season or something?)
There's a streaming option, too! And the sessions look good. Check it out, and spread the word.

I fell in love with a cat storage jar from IKEA. So I ordered 2, they're limited edition so thought it'd be a good idea =)
Look at it, I love them.
Die Menschenabwehr-Bürokratie (können wir uns die eigentlich noch leisten?) liefert die schlimmsten #Unwort-Kandidaten.
Heute: "Bleibeperspektive". Die gar nichts mit echten Perspektiven zu tun hat, sondern von oben politisch zu- oder abgesprochen wird.
@neusprechneusprech.org, hattet ihr die eigentlich schon mal im Programm?

Did I really need this 10,000mah battery shaped like a pager which can also *actually page other pager batteries*? No.
Do I have another pager battery to actually page? Also no.

Amelia and I got to visit the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels--specifically the old masters collection--and it was fascinating. Didn't have nearly enough time to see everything, only a couple of rooms before closing time. They don't prepare you for how large these paintings are in real life.
I hate that I had to think about the modern equivalent of asbestos--the wonder material of AI--at the time, but it made me think of how a line its proponents often use is that the introduction of generative AI mirrors the advance from painting to photography--a line that's been said to me even on this platform. Of course, that's a lie. Photography never replaced *this*. It simply cannot.
The matter of trusting programs that have all or part of the code generated by #AI is one of those things that, I think, is going to end up being solved only when companies shipping it - where bugs and security flaws and objectionable/illegal materials created by it - are subject to steep legal repercussions
We can't audit code, and human code has bugs too. But human code isn't able to be responsibility-laundered so easily as AI is now.
In the end; value is trust, and trust is accountability.
PSA: Did you know that it’s **unsafe** to put code diffs into your commit messages?
Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example
Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change!
This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.

이야 정말 아름다운 푸른 절벽이다
@: 돌고래 진짜 싱기... 제주 발령받아 잠시 살때 날 좋은 계절엔 주말마다 딸내미 데리고 배낚시를 다녔는데... 돌고래를 만났어요. 삐죽 고개 내밀고 한참 보더니 쏙 들어간... 선장님이 보시더니 어린애 보고 갔으니 좀 있다 떼거지로 올겁니다. 말 끝나기 무섭게 돌고래 열댓마리가 몰려와서 애가 젤 잘보이는 곳에서 공중제비 물총쏘기...한 5분을 그렇게 인사하고 가더라구요. 평생 첨이자 마지막일 진귀한 경험을 했습니다.

Oooooh SNAP!!! 💥
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez of Spain:
“First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites. This means that CEOs of these tech platforms will face criminal liability […]
Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense. […]
spreading hate must come at a cost.”
Have a great weekend, Elon! 😘

Finde den Begriff Sucht schwierig, aber klar ist: Das ist nicht nur für Kids schlecht, sondern für alle.
Es sollte nicht Kindern und Jugendlichen verboten werden, auf die Straße zu gehen, sondern eine gute Straßenverkehrsordnung für alle geben. Von mir aus mit SUV-Verbot.

Workday continues to amaze. The relentless, belligerent neglect of it.
"Autofill from your CV" -> directly populates Workday's own text fields with characters Workday won't accept.

It is incredible that anyone wants this product to be the first interaction someone has with their company's processes.
The Weird Propeller That Offers Improved Agility On The Water

AI 붐 때문에 명확해진게 인류의 에너지와 자원은 굉장히 제한적이고 몇몇 나라에 몰려있으며 반도체도 필요한 그 시점에 충분히 찍을 수가 없음. 스마트폰, 컴퓨터 다 마찬가지란 이야기.
대만, 한국에 전쟁나면 인류는 일정 수준 이상의 컴퓨터를 만드는게 불가능해진다. AI 만능, 기술 만능 이전에 그냥 전세계가 피보는거야.
전쟁나면 KRW보다 비트코인이 안전할 것 같아요?
