From the article: “It is unlikely the Department would ever pursue action against anyone using the Logan Act, given no one has been convicted of violating the 1799 law”

End of story.

Because you said that was not the point of the article and I asked you to clarify why you think it wasn’t. But never mind. This is going nowhere.

Why not? If the starting point of the article is that we can’t design interfaces based on our elitist 5 percenter knowledge then the remedy for that would be…?

I’m using a lepotato for Home Assistant. Works very well for months now, but I’m a bit worried about long term distro support

I wonder why user tests aren’t even mentioned once in the article. If you design an interface you have to test it with your audience

Did you know you can edit your posts? Could be helpful for other readers since you were incorrectly posting in several messages that wine needs root access.

Guter Artikel, ich finde es immer wieder krass wie dreist diese Verpackungen als umweltfreundlich angepriesen werden.

Die Rücknahme von Getränkekartons an bestehenden Pfandrücknahmeautomaten im Handel ist technisch problemlos umsetzbar

Das glaube ich aber erst wenn ich es sehe… Die derzeitigen Pfandrücknahmesysteme sind alle auf Flaschenform ausgelegt, viele haben schon bei Flaschen in perfektem Zustand mit perfekt erhaltenem Etikett Schwierigkeiten, diese zu erkennen. Man darf gespannt sein was zuerst kommt: Selbstfahrende Autos, Flugtaxis oder die automatische Rücknahme von TetraPaks

The video’s title “worst car ever reviewed” was not as balanced though :D

This happened just this morning. Probably not the dumbest thing ever, and I blame Snap for putting things where they don’t belong: I deleted stuff from the /run/user/1000/doc directory. Turns out the files there are in fact hard links to files which actually reside somewhere else. Well, they were, until I deleted them forever.

Background: Firefox (as an Ubuntu snap package) downloads files in some kind of sandbox mode and references stuff there for some obscure reason. That was my weekly reminder to get rid of snap packages because snap sucks in a myriad of ways.

There are some media reports claiming that there was simply another unidentified participant in the conference call and they didn’t notice. 🤷

I know this is posted in funny, but whatever. You could still login locally using keyboard and monitor. Uncool, but it works

Having a dedicated technical architect who hovers above the dev team handing architectural decisions down is also not always seen as an ideal construct in software development.

Ok, maybe it helps to be more specific. We have an LLM which is based on a broad range of human data input, like news, internet chatter, stories but also books of all kinds including those about philosophy, diplomacy, altruism etc. But if the topic at hand is “conflict resolution” the overwhelming data will be about violent solutions. It’s true that humans have developed means for peaceful conflict resolution. But at the same time they also have a natural tendency to focus on “bad news” so there is much more data available on the shitty things that happen in the world which is then fed to the chatbot.

To fix this, you would have to train an LLM specifically to have a bias towards educational resources and a moral code based on established principles.

But current implementations (like ChatGPT) don’t work that way. Quite the opposite, in fact: In training, first we ingest all the data that we can get our hands on (including all the atrocities in the world) and then in a second step we fine-tune the LLM to make it “better”.

Don’t want to spoil your little circlejerk here, but that should not surprise anyone, considering chatbots are trained on vast amounts of human data input. Humans have a rich history of violence with only brief excursions into “collaborating for the good of mankind and the planet we live on”. So unless you build a chatbot that focuses on those values the result will inevitably be a mirror image of us human shitbags.

Du selbst lieferst hier ein super Beispiel für Alltagsrassismus. Diese Folgerung dass Asiaten Asiaten kennen und daher wahrscheinlicher mit Menschen aus Wuhan oder sonstwo in China Kontakt hatten und es daher sicherer wäre Abstand zu halten ist völlig rassistisch.

Erstens kann der gewöhnliche Deutsche vermutlich nicht mal Koreaner von Japanern von Chinesen auseinander halten was schon mal eine Grundbedingung wäre um da eine Entscheidung zu treffen die eine solche Argumentation vielleicht stützen würde. Und zweitens (und das ist noch viel wichtiger) gibt es extrem viele Menschen in Deutschland mit asiatischem Aussehen die ihre Wurzeln hier haben und keine regelmäßigen physischen Kontakte mit Menschen in Asien haben.

Und drittens ist es klar dass das Virus nicht bei Menschen irgend einer ethnischen Herkunft bleibt. Sobald der erste am Flughafen irgendwen anhustet ist die Katze aus dem Sack und die ganze schöne Theorie eben bloss noch eins: Rassismus

Deutsche Gründlichkeit at work. They not only infiltrate the party but take it over completely, up to the point where they do such a good job in pretending to be nazis that they become nazis themselves. 💯

I was wondering if that might be a thing. Saw people talk about “the codes” instead of “code” more than once.

At that point we’re at their mercy.

Or maybe at that point you’ll begin to realize that you might not need all of this stuff, and that happyness comes from other sources. But that is just my personal approach, by all means do whatever you like.

I was watching Al Jazeera to see what they had to say and they called the Hamas terror attack “the Hamas military operation”. I have no sympathies for them to say it kindly. Actually the can fuck right off. Deliberately butchering civilians, many among them children is not a military operation. It’s a terror attack.

It’s more of a calendar thing I’m afraid.
