Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained.
Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery.
Bueno gente sabéis que normalmente no soy de ir con reflexiones y cosas. Ayer podía haberme matado. Cortocircuito en casa, sobre las 6-7 de la mañana. Me despierto oliendo a humo, que se estaba quemando el baño. Bomberos, etc. No se puede dar nada por hecho en esta vida.
Vale, pero eso tiene causas, no? sobrecarga? mal funcionamiento de algún electrodoméstico? ni idea, por eso te lo pregunto. Se te ha solucionado ya el problema? @oriol
@terecodina estoy esperando a que me llamen del seguro. sobrecarga y mal funcionamiento no creo, porque eran las 7 y pico de la mañana y estaba todo apagado.
Nosotros también vivimos un incendio, iniciado en el piso de abajo, en una madrugada de enero. Y lo solucionó todo el seguro. Pero fue por una subida de tensión que nos estropeó la TV (mis padres escucharon como una miniexplosión proveniente de esta que fue lo que los despertó y a partir de ahí los gritos de los vecinos), el microondas y el router. Y esas subidas de tensión venían repitiéndose desde Noche Vieja, porque ya en la cena las luces iban raras. @oriol @terecodina
Pues sí, sí pasamos miedo... y frío, porque nos indicaron que saliéramos al balcón. Enero, las 3 de la mañana... y sin entrar a casa hasta las cinco y pico. @oriol @terecodina
A mí en una subida de tensión me explotó un monitor de ordenador, no pasó nada más, susto y olor a cable quemado, pero desde entonces y viendo lo que a mí me sirve los monitores siempre lo tengo desenchufado. Otro día el informático me contó que le habían traído 5 ordenadores con la fuente de corriente quemada en un solo día, entre ellos el mío. @lararm @lararm @oriol
@terecodina @lararm hotsia, fatal. Yo por suerte el ordenador lo tengo conectado a un SAI, que te proteje de esas cosas. Pero claro, la lavadora, la nevera y eso, no
@terecodina @lararm Yo en su momento instalé un térmico de protección contra sobretensiones porque en el barrio eran muy comunes. Ya se ha disparado alguna vez. Sólo me da miedo que lo haga cuando estoy de viaje y me joda lo que tengo en la nevera pero si lo pienso, es menor ese daño que si me quema cosas.
Habe eine tolle DM bekommen, die ich natürlich nicht teilen werde. Aber ich möchte dazu noch etwas sagen. Als Anwältin, die in ihrem Berufsleben reichlich (!) #Sozialrecht gemacht hat, halte ich mich für qualifiziert, zu sagen: Die Diskussion um #Sanktionen und Sozialleistungen wäre eine andere, wenn mehr Menschen eine Ahnung hätten, wie sich #Hartz4 ganz konkret anfühlt; zuhause in den Familien, an prekären Arbeitsplätzen, in den Schulen, in der Psyche der Betroffenen und deren Familien
I clicked on a link and started reading. It read like a thoughtful interview from years passed...
And then I read this question: "You passed away on your eighty-eighth birthday – 4th August 2020. Do you reflect on mortality?"
What the fuck?
At the end of the article: "Editorial note: This interview transcript is a work of dramatised historical reconstruction. Frances Allen died on 4th August 2020, and cannot speak. The words, reflections, and responses attributed to her in this document are constructed from historical records, published interviews, biographical materials, technical papers, and documented accounts of her life and work – but they are not her actual words, spoken in real time."
Tell me you used AI without telling me you used AI.
ALSO, this was "written" by a MAN dramatizing the perspective of a woman pioneer in computer science. He's got a whole series on dead woman.

@delta I thought I have seen a new Update for the Android version on F-Droid but while I tried to install it I got an 404 and now the update is no longer displayed.
f-droid release we retracted because of a reported issue on slow phones and large databases. There should be a release soon, streamlining this. sorry for the delay. You could meanwhile install the apk from the web page, and export/import your profile, for the time being, if you are eager to try out.
ok. Thanks for pointing that out and for your great work. Sadly because of the issues I had with the Date error on my Exim relay, @ralfhersel has given up waiting and I will happily convince him again to get on board, on our upcoming christmas party of the @fsfe 👻
We are all connected. Esperanza 💫Muchas gracias Maria Medem por crear esta animación tan hermosa y por compartir tu visión con nosotros. Estamos muy felices...
Yes I'm a fan of the creative team that produces Pluribus. Yes, it's an Apple TV show. Because yes, Android users can get the Apple TV App on Google Play, subscribe to it, and watch the show.
Yes I still ask the interview question "Do you like creative people?"
The X-Files producers had a problem: Season 1 was a big hit, but where would they get ideas for another 24 episodes for season 2?
A sci-fi nerd / Twilight zone fan from Virginia went to film school, saw season 1 of the X-Files, and thought it was the coolest show ever. He wrote a fan script for it.
The X-Files producers saw his fan script, and said "This is really good!" So they hired him to be a writer for X-Files season two.
He worked on the X-Files for 7 years.
Then he had a weird idea for a disturbed show about a high school chemistry teacher that becomes a meth dealing drug kingpin.
Great Movies and TV, are made by great Movie and TV makers. Creative people, working together, to produce something new.
Human beings love stories. Some of us go so far as to say that human beings need stories.
Sometimes I think that people forget that our role is to support creative people.
I've never met Vince Gilligan. I don't know him personally. I don't know if he's a nice person.
I only know his work.
Or more accurately, the output of his work. The tiny bit that makes it through all the rough drafts and bad takes, and didn't get cut in editing, and that studios released.
And I know that he didn't produce his shows by himself. He was part of a team, that is in turn part of an entire ecosystem of people and companies and organizations that support the production of creative work that we all enjoy.
I like creative people, and the ecosystem that supports them.
No Twilight Zone? No X-Files.
No X-Files? No Breaking Bad.
No Breaking Bad? No Pluribus.
It's easy to see how the world would be missing something if those never happened.
What's harder to see, is that there are other stories that didn't happen because we didn't support Black producers in 1959.
Visited Winchester Christmas Market this afternoon. It was very busy and crowded but mostly nice to just see the pretty lights and have a massively overpriced but very tasty sausage roll. However, it was pretty disappointing to see that I couldn’t get to 90% of the stalls.
I get that it’s on historic ground and there are limits to what they can do but I feel like they could’ve done a bit more to make it accessible.
Most of the stalls were up a large step. I could see what they had from a distance but I couldn’t get to most of them to view things up close.
oh my god this pumpkin pie is really good! folks? I can't cut a slice of pie to save my ass, so @MayDay did it for me, and all I can say is if you want to go into a pumpkin pie coma, have her cut you a slice! lol!
someone told me if you open mail on the Mac and start typing a person's name your focus will move to the latest email from that person. E.G. if i type Damashe it takes me to the latest email from @damashe #TechnicallyWorking TW141 share this and more tips!
Denk gerade viel über Digitales Vergesellschaften nach, also die Frage wie wir digitale Infrastruktur von Kabeln und Rechenzentren bis hin zu Betriebssystemen, Software und Social Media zu öffentlichem Eigentum bekommen. Also wenn ihr dazu Literatur oder Ideen habt oder Menschen kennt, mit denen man mal sprechen sollte, dann schreibt mir gerne.
Wir können uns die Betreuung von behinderten Menschen nicht mehr leisten. Das meint Ex-Familienministerin Kristina Schröder (CDU). Die aktuelle Krisenerzählung der Konservativen wird durch solches Gerede immer absurder.
WARNING: Long story with no real point. Just remembering something and wanted to write it down to document it.
Years ago, I worked at an Apple Store teaching computer lessons for all learning levels and on a variety of topics.
One of my regulars was a nice older lady who was a piano teacher and we got to talking and she mentioned that her husband is a lawyer and he's the one who wanted to learn to use the computer, but he didn't want to go into the store to learn, so she was taking lessons for him and then she would go home and try to teach him, but it wasn't working out because they were getting "frustrated" with one another, so she asked if I ever taught private lessons at people's homes.
This was definitely a conflict of interest and I really liked my job and wasn't willing to risk losing it, but she mentioned that it may be okay if we were just trading services where I would teach her husband to use the computer and she would teach me piano lessons as a thank you.
I ran it by my manager and she said she was totally fine with an arrangement like that and she gave me the green light.
Once a week after work, I'd take the bus to their house in a suburb of Chicago and we'd start with my piano lesson and then I'd go and give the husband his computer lesson.
Her husband wanted to learn the computer because "so many law things require computers nowadays" so he wanted to "keep up with the kids" and I really admired that about him.
Over time, I gave up on the piano, but he still wanted to learn more on the computer, so I just continued teaching the lessons for free.
Once he had "mastered" email and web searches, he mentioned that he wanted to create a website for his law practice, so I helped him make a basic website (e.g., bio, services, contact info, etc.).
The template he selected had a large space at the top for a header photo and he said he wanted a photo of the Chicago skyline, so we hopped on Google and selected one and added it and clicked publish and he was really happy with his website and we sent an email to pretty much everyone he knew (BCCed) to link them to his new website.
At that point, he had accomplished his ultimate goal and I just happened to be moving, so we said our goodbyes and that was the last time I saw him.
Years later, I took a Photoshop class and part of the class was on copyright laws and attribution and I had this OH NO flashback moment to creating that website because we definitely just did a random google search for Chicago skyline and didn't have formal permission to use that photo and I had NO idea what the photographer's permissions were, so I was terrified that I was going to get this poor lawyer in trouble for copyright infringement due to a dumb photo that we hastily dropped on his website years before.
By this point, I lived in a different state and all of the website files lived on his computer and there was no way I was going to be able to instruct him on how to change the photo via email or over the phone, so I wasn't going to open a can of worms by even mentioning it to him and I just pushed down the bad feelings and guilt, but every so often I'd remember it and they'd come flooding back.
Whenever this would happen, I'd pull up his website to see if anything changed, but it was always there with that big photo of the Chicago skyline staring right back at me.
I recently remembered him again and went to pull up his website to see if the photo was still there, but this time the entire website was gone.
I was relieved until I googled him and found his obituary instead and my relief turned to grief. It turns out he had died a couple of years ago and left behind his loving wife, a piano teacher.
RIP, Don. You were one of the good ones and i'm grateful to have known you and I'm glad you lived a long life free of copyright lawsuits.
I woke up to devastating news about the mass killing of Jewish people at a Hanukkah gathering in Australia, and my heart is shattered. I feel deep grief, anger, and an ache that words barely hold.
This violence strikes at who we are—our joy, our holidays, our right to gather in light. And yet, even in this darkness, we are still here. We mourn. We rage. We stand together. We endure.
I need a little time to gather myself before saying more. I will be sharing a video shortly with my thoughts and reflections.
For now, I came here—to this community—to sit together, to draw strength from one another, and to remind ourselves that our light is not so easily extinguished.
I think it is telling that we are about three years into the AI craze and, still, every single time someone says to me "I asked ChatGPT ___ " or "The chatbot told me ____" I know they are about to say something completely stupid and devoid of facts. Every single time.
You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.
Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.
They need you more than you need them. Force them to work for your rights. Do not comply.
I refuse to accept the narrative that the only way you can communicate securely is via an American corporation who runs a proprietary centralized service and you have to give the your government ID (via your phone number)
Hello! It’s time for "the opposite of doomscrolling” — my next Linkfest, a collection of the most interesting items in science, culture and technology I...
So I finally got a working version of unspoken-ng that uses steamaudio for reverb instead of verblib. Unfortunately, this was a case of be careful what you wish for! Calculating occlusion and doing raytracing is slow, and also sounds significantly worse than just using verblib, and making it sound about equally good makes it take so much CPU time it's just not worth it.
The public has a distorted view of science, because children are taught in school that science is a collection of firmly established truths. In fact, science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.
