@cyberlyra I hate the US as much as the next person, but its a bit ridiculous to say its utterly devoid of people who are selflessly excited because.... no keener.Its been awhile since I've had to live in that shithole country but i still know a handful of folks there who are selflessly excited at least some of the time.Getting back at the US by copying its nationalism and degradation of other cultures is not the burn you think it is.

@arroz LLMs are NOT random content generators. That is false. The LLM output is based the user prompt. Seems to me you don't know how to prompt correctly.

@Lilith Du meinst so ganz altbacken Lieferanten evaluieren? Das haben wir doch vergessen wie es geht, seit wir vor 10 Jahren anfingen alles zu AWS, Microsoft und Google zu schieben. Jetzt wissen wir nur noch wie man alles irgendwo anders hin schiebt ️

@theraspb @toroidalcore Yes, but I don't bother checking anymore.

@graydon @cstross If they *were* just a death cult that would also be true.Not saying it's that simple, but if someone said "Look out, that death cult is coming to get us" I don't think "But they only want to kill people like us, not themselves" would be responsive to the situation. Which is why I think *from outside the cult* there's no important terminological distinction.If they could be reasoned with, you could apply reason to their goals as they perceive them, yes.

@randahl at least ukraine rightfully get billions from europe to defend itself and europe reject ukraine giving up land while Europe is still defending israel, lying about stopping selling weapons, having zero sanction on the state itself despite Netenyahu himself talking sbout exterminating Palestine

@theorangetheme @jwz We’ve heard your feedback and we’re delighted to announce that you will now be blasted in the face with cocaine each time you open the door!

@MaierAmsden @Petesmom uyghurs may disagreeSince 2014, the Chinese government has engaged in systematic, large-scale repression of Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities in Xinjiang, frequently described by international observers as crimes against humanity or genocide. Reports detail arbitrary detention of over 1 million people, torture, forced sterilization, and killings, with the goal of forced assimilation

@davidculley I didnt dare to believe this happening but by now found multiple sources that verify it https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen/ki-bild-polizeigewerkschaft-kritik-medienethek-100.html

@ascentale @bikenite A1. I’m in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Still covered with snow and with colder temperatures (-15°C as I type this). Relatedly, nothing new with my bike today ‍️️️#BikeNite

@OhWeh Hey! Du machst, was Du machst! Denke, ich verstehe gut, was Du meinst.

@susankayequinn @kim_harding In the fantasy that I have of building my own place on some land, there is actually a plan for having a small utility shed that's large enough for a used EV battery pack to store solar, plus a small generator that does co-generation -- using the electricity to charge the battery, plus extracts the heat to keep the batteries warm, as well as heating the house on the coldest of days.

@dalias @divVerent @Em0nM4stodon Knowing how old someone is does not limit their speech nor their ability to vote (we verify age for that already, and for many other reasons). Age verification isn’t state censorship. I suppose it could be a way to limit anonymous speech. That isn’t a Right where I am from (nor is ‘free’ speech). I doubt anonymous speech is a Right anywhere.I have no doubt it’s absolutely technically feasible in a way that infringes on no one’s privacy. Ultimately though, yes, it could be abused by bad actors. Like everything else in civilisation we need some balance of enforcement to deal with those people.

@Gleisplan Wollen wir uns wirklich den Kopf darüber zermartern, wie man technisch doch etwas möglich machen kann, was wir eigentlich ablehnen?@AwetTesfaiesus

@hickbln Gefühlt wollen sie zurück zu den Leibeigenen.

@warmsignull @samir When blind rewrite forces into use of unsafe sections, it is telling that section in general is not-ok, not provable to be ok. Rust compiler helps in a long run.Is this a rethinking of foundations? Yes.

@rocketsoup Yes.

@vosje62 @danieldk @wsslmn @BuyFromEU Well, European companies need not follow their „business model“ on medium or long term. Alternatives can and should be developed.

@wolfgang @LordOfQuails @anneroth die Gedanken sind frei, also glaube doch bitte was du möchtest. Ich habe keine Ausbildung und keinen Schulabschluss weil ich in meiner Jugend nicht wirklich Bock hatte. Und trotzdem besetze Ich heute eine vorgesetzten Position mit 5 Mitarbeitern in der chemischen Industrie und gehöre was mein Gehalt betrifft zu den oberen 10%Glaubst du das ist mir alles von allein zugeflattert ? Wer will kann auch !
