US troops get briefed by their officers:

“President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth“

All other, varying causes given for the war are less convincing than this. I mean, who can oppose bringing Jesus back, really?

This is Doctor Strangelove stuff. 😒

Even more remarkable is the near complete absence of the developer community in mingling in the social side of the discussion.

To learn how actually *experience* this here fediverse. A which results from them tying their apps together, to hopefully get more than the sum of individual parts. By means of facilitating , technically speaking. But it involves more than getting that feature across the wire to the next app.

There's exists a clear gap between and , where the latter must serve the former to bring real solutions. Otherwise it is all apps and not much seamless social fabric to navigate. No peopleverse anywhere in sight. Just apps and users of them.

The apps see great success, and I enjoy their use a lot. But I don't see a future for the app-centric fediverse where it comes to providing mankind the future of .

杜拜還是迪拜?港媒用中國譯法 資深記者:97前譯法以「粵音」為主

杜拜還是迪拜?港媒用中國譯法 資深記者:97前譯法以「粵音」為主

中東地區再起戰火,市民除關注當地局勢變化外,多間本地媒體報道時大量使用中國譯法「迪拜」取代香港沿用多年的「杜拜」(Dubai),做法引起熱議。有資深傳媒人向《追光者》透露,傳媒在97前禁止使用中國譯法,但主權移交後就轉為採用中國《新華大字典》譯法。有粵語保育組織提醒,中國擅長以語言控制思想,但港人目前仍缺乏對這種語言轉變的自覺。 美國和以色列上週六(2月28日)突襲伊朗,伊朗隨後向中東多個國家發射導彈,作為港人轉機熱門地的杜拜亦成為遇襲目標,有關當地形勢的報道亦不斷增加。在戰爭爆發首日,《無線新聞》、《有線新聞》及《Now新聞》三間電視新聞台提到杜拜航班受戰事影響時,均使用中國譯法「迪拜」。 紙媒方面,《東方日報》、《星島日報》、《信報》、《經濟日報》等沿用「杜拜」,《明報》、《商報》、《文匯報》、《大公報》等則採用中國譯法「迪拜」。本台翻查香港公共圖書館的「香港舊報紙主題館藏」,發現早在1971年由杜拜等7個酋長國組成「阿拉伯聯合酋長國」,《大公報》報道時任中國總理周恩來承認阿聯酋獨立時,已經採用「迪拜」一詞,並一直至90年代;至於館藏中的右派報紙《華僑日報》,則較多使用「杜拜」。 資深記者:97前譯地名以「粵音」為主 97後「共識」跟中國新華大字典 有多年電子媒體經驗的記者向本台表示,在97年前本地傳媒翻譯地名多以「粵語譯音」為主,但在主權移交後,傳媒之間的「共識」是按照中國新華大字典的翻譯,故不少譯名均以普通話譯音為主。 而資深記者F(化名)則直指在1997年主權移交前,曾被編輯要求翻譯時「不得使用《新華社》版本」。對於現時香港媒體失去這份堅持,F感到十分難受,她憤然地道,如果媒體報道時使用「迪拜」、「弗吉尼亞州」(維珍尼亞州 Virginia)這些中國用語,「不如要以後用普通話報新聞?」 政府新聞稿用「迪拜」 港官口述多用「杜拜」 官方翻譯方面,香港政府於2021年在阿聯酋成立的經貿辦以「迪拜」命名。本台翻查政府新聞處在過去一年發出的新聞稿,當中有至少16則是使用「迪拜」。惟同時間,官員在口語表述時卻偏向使用「杜拜」一詞。 以過去一年為例,無論是特首李家超去年訪問科威特時會見記者,還是商務及經濟發展局局長丘應樺、署理財經事務及庫務局局長陳浩濂在立法會發言時,都沿用「杜拜」一詞。有政府人士向傳媒透露,港府在使用「杜拜」或「迪拜」並無政治考量,外交部或政府高層

"살고 싶었다"...이란·이스라엘 교민 140명, 폭격·안개 뚫고 대피 www.hankookilbo.com/news/article... "한때 투르크메니스탄 당국은 대피 행렬에 포함된 한국인 교민의 이란 국적 가족 4명 중 배우자를 제외한 3명의 입국을 불허했다. 이에 해당 가족 전원(5명)이 입국을 포기했지만, 우리 외교 당국의 설득 끝에 결국 이들 가족 모두 투르크메니스탄에 입국하게 됐다."

AI가 전쟁을 편하고 효율적으로 만들었다보다 집중해야 할 것은 이 부분이다. 오류를 낼 가능성이 있는 존재를 어떻게 바라볼 것인지 책임은 누가 질 것인지 등 아직 많은 부분이 해결되지 않았는데 너무 성급하게만 움직이고 있다.

트럼프 이란 공습이 불러온 ‘AI 전쟁’의 서막 fortunekorea.co.kr/news/articl

Text Shot: 다만 우려의 목소리도 높다. 크레이그 존스는 “AI가 도입되면서 오류의 발생 가능성 역시 기하급수적으로 늘어났다”고 지적했다. 인간의 판단이 배제된 채 방대한 데이터에만 의존할 경우, 2003년 이라크 침공 당시의 잘못된 정보 수집보다 훨씬 더 큰 규모의 참사가 일어날 수 있다는 것이다.

윤리적 책임 또한 해결해야 할 과제다. 『하이퍼 워』의 저자 아미르 후세인은 “전쟁법은 기계가 아닌 인간에게 책임을 물을 것을 요구한다”며 “전장에서 아무리 높은 수준의 자동화가 이뤄지더라도 모든 행위에 대한 최종적인 책임은 인간에게 귀속돼야 한다”고 강조했다.

@strypey @FinchHavenFinchHaven sfba @naturzukunft2026naturzukunft

I was around at the time, and a long-time proponent for more linked data uptake in general in IT.

I don't think saying SW was shouldered aside is a fair assessment. As hype cycles come and go as these windows where a technology must prove itself, semantic web had one of the bigger cycles. It overpromised, underdelivered. And at the same time XML got overused where it shouldn't, becoming ever more complex web of standards and de-facto. XML fell in the grasp of corporations, pushing expensive Enterprise service buses, etc. There was a craving for simplicity to create sites and basic webapps. And then along came JSON, and XML quickly fell out of favor. Along with SW, which never got a good tool and library support in the ecosystem.. and that is still true today.

Other than that SW in many areas is a solution seeking for a problem. Some areas see LD uptake. But aboveall the dev community ditched the tech. And they need much convincing to come back.

@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. @strypey @FinchHavenFinchHaven sfba @naturzukunft2026naturzukunft There are different ways to tell the story. Please consider this: the popularity of JSON stems from the promise of HTML5 that the developer would control the software at both ends of the data transmission. The web browsers taught developers to dismiss any concern for interoperability. json-ld is trying to fix that (and failing because of the external contexts, but it’s a different topic).

@mdnMDN Web Docs I’m disappointed to see CSS carousels still being touted as ‘accessible’. They plainly aren’t, as has been discussed many times. The linked MDN doc even mentions many shortcomings and has been updated recently to remove some of the unfounded accessibility claims: https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/42681

"イスラエルによる攻撃が差し迫っているイランがこれに対する報復として米軍を攻撃する可能性があるため「切迫した脅威」が存在する。ルビオ国務長官がそう主張した翌日、トランプ氏はまったく異なる説明を示した。イランが米国に先制攻撃を仕掛けようとしていたというのだ。"
