"Empire of Death" wasn't a great way to end a #DoctorWho season. Episode 488 of the Two-minute Time Lord podcast: twominutetimelord.com/2mtl-488…

2MTL 488: Foundation and "Empire" - Two-minute Time Lord

"Empire of Death" epitomized RTD's approach to season finales that he deployed to popular (if not always critical) acclaim during his first stint as showrunner. What happened this time?

A study asked 50 doctors to make six different diagnoses for medical conditions. "Doctors who did the project without AI got an average score of 74%, doctors who used AI got an average score of 76%, and ChatGPT itself got an average score of 90%." "AI didn’t help doctors using it as much as anticipated because physicians “didn’t listen to AI when AI told them things they didn’t agree. Most doctors couldn’t be convinced a chatbot knew more than them." #LLM #AI #ChatGPT qz.com/chatgpt-beat-doctors-at…

I give up. Now there's a Swiss church that has an #AI Jesus....

"Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing religious life at a small church in Lucerne, Switzerland, where a virtual Jesus is caring for the concerns and needs of the faithful."

Hold on...
Isn't this from the film THX 1138?

Wow, I just spent the last few hours workshopping this unfinished PR with Claude. I get why AI is bad for unverified research and the like, but that I as a CMake know-nothing and after not getting help on the CMake forums was able to get a thing mostly building on Android when the build originally crashed a minute or 2 in, working through multiple problems and obscure CMake issues, kind of blows my mind. github.com/duckdb/duckdb_spati…

Před pár dny jsem tu sdílel info, že botník press.coop končí a že se jeho boti stěhují na Flipboard.com.

Dneska jsem se tomu trochu věnoval a ukončil 2 boty, ale hlavně...

Na Flipboard.com aktuálně běží reálně několik stovek velmi zajímavých informačních zdrojů, počínaje ofiko @NationalGeographic a konče třeba @BBCNews.

Když si do Explore zadám Flipboard.com a nechám zobrazit všechny výsledky, je jich opravdu moooc a jsou hodně zajímavé, tak to zkuste.

Cool to see a company whose annual revenue is $250B announce a $1.25M open source security fund (that’s about three *minutes* of revenue), in a press release that without blinking or apparent irony (1) says maintainers need more time and (2) requires maintainers to take a multi-week, many-hour training program.

So they did not mention it but a ton of the google apps have actions now, I keep finding them without a hint they are there. Also not sure why you have issues with it speaking over voice recording, that stopped for me ages ago, like #TalkBack 12.1 ages ago, though this does seem to break with third party tts engines, also the #braille support if you did not know is currently on #Humanware to push a firmware update because even if the HID bluetooth had been released those devices would not work, so people need to pester Humanware about that. Also as of the last month or two Lookout appears as an accessibility app and can be mapped to a shortcut.

@johannes While I think both, I haven't had the need to sync settings yet. The best option would be for TB to provide WebDAV sync option, so it could be synced with any WebDAV compatible service. And also extend that to TB for Android 😃

Note taking app Joplin does it well, as an example.

Otherwise, location where user data is stored could be synced to Nextcloud via Nextcloud's desktop client.
