#Buchtipp "Not giving a fuck" von Beate Absalon ist eine kluge Erkundung, wie Sex anders - und besser - werden kann
queer.de/detail.php?article_id…

Warum es dieses Plädoyer für stressfreieren Sex dringend gebraucht hat

Sex sorgt vielfach für Stress statt Lust. Auch queere Menschen haben viele heteronormative Zugänge zum Sex übernommen. Es sei an der Zeit, das abzuschütteln, rät Beate Absalon in ihrem Buch "Not giving a fuck". (Buch - Sachbücher)

Since I've migrated from screen to tmux years ago, I always felt that missed screen's excellent support for serial devices.

But recently I found github.com/tio/tio which was developed exactly with that use case in mind and I couldn't be happier. Such an amazing tool.

Many people think that Le Ying is a loser. She’s very overweight, still living with her parents, doesn’t have a proper job, and is a doormat in almost every relationship in her life. One day, she gets into a huge fight with her sister, and leaves home to seek an independent life.

After a series of disappointments, she decides to train to become a boxer – even when everyone is laughing at her for even trying.

My thoughts


Some of the criticisms levelled at Yolo is that it’s not very funny.

Well, if you expect it to be a laugh-out-loud comedy, you’ll be sorely disappointed.

This movie is a character study of a woman who has spent most of her life pleasing or giving in to others and denying her true feelings and desires, in the faint hope that they would finally love her in return.

Somehow, subconsciously, she knew that this approach to life was the wrong one, but do not know how to live life another way. So, she mentally gives up on life … she overeats to comfort herself and doesn’t even bother to try better herself because all her efforts had been in vain before, so why bother?

When she endures a betrayal, she decides to change her life. However, because she did not change the way she approached life, she ended up in a worse place that she had been.

And this was the last straw. For the first time, she wanted to fight and not give up. Now the last three words is very crucial – it’s not about winning, it’s about not giving up on herself.

This movie beautifully shows you how she moves on from being a person who didn’t think she was important enough to fight for, to someone who who fights tooth and nail for herself – to do something that everyone said she could not.

That final battle in the ring was very important because she wanted not to just prove to herself that she could last till the end, but not give up on herself.

So, Yolo may not be the exciting comedic romp that some people want, nor does it follow the “ugly duckling becomes swan” trope, but it has an important message. If you live your life by cutting up pieces of yourself to please others in the tiny hope they will love you or appreciate you eventually, that’s the wrong approach.

Instead, always believe in yourself even if people say it’s impossible; never give up on yourself. In the end, you should not snuff out your desires or dreams so that others can live their dreams – it’s important for you to pursue yours too.

A beautiful movie, but you need to look deeper beyond the surface of “fat girl finally becomes pretty”.

Robert Recorde introduced the equal sign in 1557. He used parallel lines because "no two things can be more equal". And his equal sign was hilariously looooooong.

This is from @mjd's excellent blog article:

blog.plover.com/math/recorde.h…

and I recommend following him here on Mastodon.

It's fun to fight your way through the text, with its old font and spellings. But if you give up, @mjd has transliterated it:

Howbeit, for easie alteration of equations. I will propounde a fewe exanples, bicause the extraction of their rootes, maie the more aptly bee wroughte. And to avoide the tediouse repetition of these woordes "is equalle to" I will sette as I doe often in woorke use, a pair of paralleles, or Gemowe lines of one lengthe, thus: =====, bicause noe 2 thynges, can be moare equalle.

The only real mystery here is "Gemowe", which means "identical" and comes from the same root as "Gemini": twins.

In the same book Robert Recorde introduced the mathematical term "zenzizenzizenzike", but I'm afraid for that you'll have to read @mjd's article!

Quote of Robert Recorde's 1557 book The Whetstone of Witte: Howbeit, for easie alteration of equations. I will propounde a fewe exanples, bicause the extraction of their rootes, maie the more aptly bee wroughte. And to avoide the tediouse repetition of these woordes : is equalle to : I will sette as I doe often in woorke use, a pair of paralleles, or Gemowe lines of one lengthe, thus: =====, bicause noe .2. thynges, can be moare equalle.

While the #GenAI news cycle keeps announcing new models, cost and evaluation continue to be crucial for both developers and businesses.

This post showcases #OSS tools that help evaluate models while keeping costs low. We include Prometheus by KAIST AI; @MozillaAI's very own lm-buddy; and llamafile.

Davide Eynard @mala shows how these components can work together to evaluate LLMs on cheap(er) hardware.

Local LLM-as-judge evaluation with lm-buddy, Prometheus and llamafile

In the bustling AI news cycle, where new models are unveiled at every turn, cost and evaluation don’t come up as frequently but are crucial to both developers and businesses in their use of AI systems.

And it looks like they've taken it down now. They said it would only be available for a limited time.

I did try it while it was up, though. I'm disappointed to report that the icon had no alt text. So as a screen reader user, I just had to try pressing the unlabeled button and see what happened. The accessibility of the Claude web UI is generally weak, so that wasn't entirely surprising.
