Vice President Harris will appear on the show, "60 Minutes," the highest-rated news program on TV, airing Oct. 7.
And although the invitation to Trump stands
Trump has turned down the offer of back-to-back conversations with both presidential nominees,
-- his campaign says he didn't want interruptions for fact checks.
Extremism always brings violence. No matter what you're pushing - ends don't justify the means. It's natural for humans to want to enact "righteous" violence. We want to be part of a group and feel like we're making the world a better place. The feeling is so enticing, we're letting ourselves slip into it. We want to be "right" about something and it feels amazing to be on the "right side" of a conflict. It's empowering, it tickles our ego, makes us feel supreme.
It's a trap of hubris. Don't.
Not the onion.

I feel I have lost sanity just reading this.
Something no one talks about enough:
CPU cycles aren't free.
Memory reads and writes aren't free.
That shit takes power. A miniscule amount per instance, yes, but it adds up quick if it's from an app that everyone uses constantly. All that power comes from somewhere, and right now that's mostly fossil fuels.
When people complain about software bloat, it's not just a UX problem, it's an environmental one too.

Yes! I think about this all the time. In aggregate, how much has simply making your app Electron instead of a native UI cost humanity in terms of energy and CO2? I wager that it's *vastly* more than anyone wants to consider.
Modern software is an absolute nightmare of thoughtless and absolutely unnecessary waste.
It should be legally mandated that developers can't use a machine less than ten years old.
to the people who did the TTS audio description for Stargate SG-1, would you kindly please, for the love of all that's holy in this world, finish what you've started? Like why the hell do you have certain episodes in season 3 not described, and then it goes back to audio description in season 4, but in stupidly random order. why why why?

I have had a lot of people ask about the test to becoming a ham radio operator, one resource is hamstudy.org/
The test is a multiple choice test, with the answers already published, plus a few simple math formulas. I have heard of people studying for a week or two and cramming the question/learning the formulas and getting their license immediately. I personally recommend getting the license FIRST before worrying about operating the radio/etc., as it's a lot easier to have a license and have someone guide you through the actual operation after you can transmit on the air.
On the one hand, translating COBOL to another programming language using an LLM is likely to lead to disastrous results.
On the other hand, I disagree about generative AI being a short-lived fad. I think there's something useful there, and after the hype and the rush to add generative AI to everything die down, that useful core will remain.

the only time I tried Siri it couldn't fucking understand what I wanted, so it got the boot.
Reminds me of the Newton handwriting recognition.
My distaste for modern software design essentially boils down to corporations presuming they know how people want to use their software.
And that this lines up to the use they'd prefer.
This is essentially neo-feudalism...
Heck, it doesn't always yield a good experience! My "techie" tools don't require me to know techie details like what all the different media file-formats are, whilst my mother's "non-techie" tools do!

That is a valid activitypub document. You can add literally any other property to it and it continues to be valid. And thus we have a solution to whether we should keep or change or break or abandon activitypub. Just add that line to any message in any protocol, and now it's activitypub. Thanks to the openness and flexibility of activitypub, we can in fact have our cake and eat it, too.
I'm prepared to accept my grant from swf, now
me holding a gun to Activitypub: tell me the name of god you vaguely rdf piece of shit
Activitypub: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot implement me in a way that matters
me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU
Die @openhomefoundation freut sich übrigens über Sprachschnipsel eurer Stimme. Es soll nur "OK NABU" eingesprochen werden, also viel einfacher als etwa bei #commonvoice
Gerne so viele unterschiedliche Sprecher wie möglich, damit später dies wakeword zuverlässig erkannt wird 
ohf-voice.github.io/wake-word-…
#stt #stimme #voice #nabu #crowdsourcing #commons #nlp #ml #homeassistant #hass #iot #smarthome
NABU gibt es zu unterschiedliche Varianten. Manche sprechen solche Kürzel nicht als Wort sondern als einzelne Buchstaben. Finde das nahzu unbrauchbar für ein key word ... An wen kann man sich da wenden? Wer legt diese Wörter fest?
Well, thanks GPT, you dug this up for me: github.com/storybookjs/storybo… - is this one of those situations where lazy-loading for performance can make accessibility worse?
