"The Lancet study's estimated Gaza death toll through early January 2025 is at least 25,000 deaths higher than the figure reported at the time."

"3-4% of the population [..] had been killed violently and there have been a substantial number of nonviolent deaths."

Be my Valentine … two female pumas share an affectionate moment at the Wildside Exotic Rescue in Herefordshire, UK. Lindsay McKenna, founder of the rescue centre, urged people not to buy animals “on a whim” from social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, saying she gets 25 requests each week from pet owners “desperate” to get rid of their exotic animals.

Except when they are called other names instead ;p

A timeline is a different thing than a collection imho. And an AS collection has some very particular functionality, which if I model a timeline in my app may not supported (e.g. reverse ordering).

Collection / 'timeline' is one of those words where sometimes they indicate an app domain, and sometimes a core protocol mechanism. Same is true with 'follow' which is sometimes a user action, sometimes indicates low-level publish/subscribe.

For core capabilities that must be part of the specs, in 'protocol space' it may be better to use terminology that is more common in messaging architectures and all the various architecture patterns that are involved. Perhaps idk we deal with a time-ordered event log or something like that.

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. @evanEvan Prodromou An AS2 Collection cannot be a timeline (in general). It’s not even ordered. An AS2 OrderedCollection (a subtype of Collection) might be ordered by time or not, so it’s also not a timeline (in general). When they are ordered by some time value (unspecified in AP) they are often called “streams” in the spec. The Mastodon content timelines are not the same as AP activity streams although a filtered AP stream can be transformed to a content timeline.

"Cory is right in pointing out that almost any technology we have has been touch by problematic figures. Racists, fascists, sexists, rapists. You name it. Anything you touch will have some research or engineering or product work by a person you despise in it.

"The strawman is his claim that people who criticize LLM usage are doing that for some form of absolutist reasons. That they have a fully binary view of the world as separated into “acceptable, pure things” and “garbage”. Which is of course false."

Haben die Grenzkontrollen denn irgendwas gebracht? Welches Problem haben sie gelöst das wir vorher hatten? Der Minister kündigt an weiterhin geltendes Recht brechen zu wollen und macht sich nicht mal die Mühe notdürftig zu begründen wofür das überhaupt gut sein soll. tagesschau.de/inland/dobrindt-
