@ai6yr I was kind of following this in the Irish papers. It's not until recently that I started comparing it with the "seasteading" thing that the "nerd reich" types have been banging on about.

I get that it might be a more attractive option than dealing with the ridiculous property market basically ... anywhere, but it's just a fantasy. There is no escape from this planet and the systems that power it.

@mathzy @thelinuxexperiment yes he clearly does not understand why people are using proton.

@jalefkowit You can have any IP you want, as long as it's Disney

LLMs are so unpopular that in the other thread, people are actively discussing changing email providers again because tuta is now using them

and they’re right, because a privacy company that uses LLMs for anything doesn’t give a shit about your privacy

LLMs are so unpopular that most people in the world, when asked, say they hate them

LLMs are so unpopular that the employees who are forced to use them under threat of being fired still spoke out to 404 about how fucking awful using LLMs at Proton is

and you think they’re inevitable? how?

@kathimmel thankyou. I feel so violated, like somebody took a disliking to my face and punched me

Adding some:

• Unidentified fluid that could be of hydraulic origin (scary!)
• Unidentified fluid that could be of toilet origin (smelly!)
• Unidentified fluid that could be of human origin (scary/smelly!)
• "We tried to power cycle WiFi / copilot / Entire Plane(?) a few times but problem still exists"
• Shamelessly terrible (read: amazing) pun

no no you don’t understand, a guy who was savoring at the idea of me capitulating insisted he’d already won, as he recorded record financial losses

Does @disroot store everything on a single RAID array without backups? Because that is what their status page makes it sound like?

@amoroso TeXmaker is my go-to editor on Windows and Linux; it has a few quirks but it's fast and dependable. I especially like how it identifies included files - bibtex files and subdocuments included via \input - and gives ypu one-click editing. Great for when you need to add a bibliography entry or have decomposed the document into parts and need to edit one of the parts. The ability to compose documents from multiple files has been vital for creating large software QA test reports and large technical documents. The thing I like best about TeXmaker is that it really gets out of my way and lets me focus on writing without distracting me with controls and detail.

imagine being so free of autonomy that you can’t imagine opposing the least inevitable technology ever conceived

@arstechnica $220m isn't enough to change their behavior. Executives at GM need the death penalty.

“uhm we’ll never get rid of LLMs so you can’t possibly have a zero tolerance policy for them” consider fucking yourself

@ai6yr
Been a busy night again for a lot of folks.

V USA před volbami do Kongresu narůstá odpor proti datovým centrům, která pohánějí umělou inteligenci. Podle průzkumu webu Politico polovina Američanů nechce tyto stavby v okolí svého bydliště. Lidé se obávají hluku a negativních dopadů na ceny a spotřebu vody i energie.

For PyCon AU 2023, we paid a non-trivial amount extra (I can’t disclose how much) to have a ramp on our main stage, as compared to the standard setup that was steps only.

We didn’t have specific speakers that we knew about that absolutely needed that ramp, but it means that I can say with confidence that nobody looked at a stage with stairs and felt like they didn’t belong on that stage, and it also means that nobody had that particular barrier to access for lightning talks or other things where you might get on stage without having planned to in advance.

And I have no idea how many people that applies to, because stairs can be a challenge even for people with invisible disabilities that they haven’t disclosed to us as organisers and we obviously can’t ask.

Everything is a cost-benefit tradeoff, but it’s important to consider “sending a message about who belongs” among the benefits.
