"Latin cultures" is a really wild way to put it, when Denmark has been the most prominent promoter of the initiative. This is a map of the government's positions, not even the parliament much less the public, and therefore a

If you really can't see the irony of using AI to make up your thoughts on AI then perhaps there's keystrokes to be saved on your end as well.

I deleted all social media as well, but I did keep YouTube (NewPipe, that is) with a curated list of subscriptions and no auto-suggestions/trending/shorts. I find many interesting things there.

Don't worry, our dear leaders are already hard at work giving up their people's safety and ensuring we bend over backwards to appease the US. Such vehicles will be able to drive in the EU with no hurdles. Fuck me

I wonder how much progress (if any) is being done on floating point formats other than IEEE floats; on serious adoption in hardware in particular. Stuff like posits [1] for instance look very promising. [1] https://posithub.org&#

Even the memories are no antidote. In the Philippines the memory of Marcos didn't stop autocrats from rising to power. Even in Europe, countries with relatively recent memories of autocracy and fascism, such as Portugal and Spain, have

Should we go swimming with a hat? :) I'm white enough that 5 mins of near midday sun gives me sunburns. In summer spf >30 is a must. Even day to day some sunscreen on my face and neck is a must.

The regulator should get rid of those + impose fines, not the user. It's unreasonable to hope the consumer deals with this themselves, that's what the regulator is there for.

There's no way "30 min by car" is a thing unless you bulldoze the entirety of Central London and replace it with freeways and parking lots. It's always a red herring. Cars are simply not viable past a certain density. It

It's a book, the TV series is an adaptation. Also, I'm an FDR fanboy but I still think it's rather a stretch to pretend he single handedly won WWII (or even that he single handedly defeated the great depression).

I was just in another thread with someone claiming that without pervasive ads things would be worse than Soviet Russia (sic). I don't doubt ad+tech giants will get their hands on any source of data they can.

A "double-tap" strike refers to bombing/hitting a target, then after a crowd of rescue workers and other civilians/onlookers has assembled, hitting again. A notorious technique used by e.g. Al-Qaeda suicide bombers, it s

At the heart of this is the irresponsible marketing, by companies and acolytes, of these tools as some kind of superintelligence imbued with insights and feelings rather than the dumb pattern matching chatbots they are. This is what's
