It seems that even those who are not interested in sports and do not follow the Olympic Games have already read about the "50-year-old Turkish man who showed up at the competition in a wrinkled T-shirt, without special equipment, and took the Olympic silver without even taking his hand out of his pocket."
"Surely, Turkey sent some kind of hitman to Paris!" social media marvels.
In the blink of an eye, Yusuf Dikec, a previously unknown figure outside professional circles, a retired gendarmerie officer and professional shooter, became a global internet meme and sensation.
Everything is great! The moral of this story could be: no matter how old you are, keep doing what you love, and your best achievements may still lie ahead, even if you are an athlete over 50!
But another nuance caught my attention.
The fact is, Yusuf Dikec did not win the Olympic silver alone. It was a team event. Shooting alongside him was his colleague Sevval Ilayda Tarhan. In the same T-shirt, in the same pose, and also with minimal equipment.
The only difference is that he is 51, and she is 24. He began professional shooting around the time she was born.
Dikec is an excellent shooter with a plethora of medals from prestigious competitions, but he had never made it to the Olympic podium until his young partner grew up and competed with him on the same team.
If we look at the individual performances of these shooters in the same discipline where they took silver as a team, we will see that Tarhan finished 7th, while Dikec only came in 13th.
Now let's trace how mass consciousness works: we simply do not notice the woman standing next to him. It does not matter who she is, how she is dressed, how she shoots, or how unique her achievement is. We only see the man in the "wrinkled T-shirt," deliberately nonchalant, and create a romantic image of a "hitman." We spread a photograph in which he is shooting alone, and the result of this shooting is 13th place! Yet, we declare that he won "silver."
Why does the logic of mass culture work this way? After all, patriarchy has long ceased to exist, feminism is unnecessary, equality has been achieved, at least in Paris 2024 for sure!
This is how patriarchal myths about great male victories are born before our eyes. These images are entrenched in culture and shape our thinking. Meanwhile, women's contributions and achievements are simply erased from history. It was like this before. Unfortunately, it still happens today.

Use NGHTTP3 prefix instead of NGTCP2 for errors in h3 callbacks. by moritzbuhl · Pull Request #14394 · curl/curl
To my understanding the functions are nghttp3 callbacks and should therefore return NGHTTP3_ERR_CALLBACK_FAILURE. However, this is not critical as the nghttp3 documentation states for all callbacks...GitHub

The whole AI thing has me endlessly confused. Half the market is crashing because investors didn't see any signs of payoff in the quarterly earnings report, but I'm so lost as to what exactly they were expecting to see. Did they just not pay any attention at all to what these companies were actually doing with AI?
Were they expecting exponential Instagram usage growth as a result of Meta making it so you can have a conversation with the search bar? Or maybe everyone was going to buy 10 new Windows licenses in celebration of Microsoft announcing they want to install AI powered spyware on everyone's computer? Or was Google going to sell more ads by replacing all the search results with reddit shitposts? Either I'm missing something or everyone's last 2 remaining brain cells are really busy fighting to the death for 3rd place.

Closed tab. I hope you have you spyware analytics properly configured to show you that.
In the U.K., not all racists are working class, and not all the working class are racists. But those thugs in our streets are working class. A tiny section of the working class the rest of the working class hate. We know them. We've dealt with them all our lives. They didn't come out of nowhere.
They are violent and dangerous and make our lives a misery. But are they a potent political force about to overrun the country? Er, no.
We've got this. Hold the line. Face them down. Again.

TBH, if you're not doing machine translation, the results can be just as bad.
I think my favorite is "blind people incapable of unaided existence", which is the label for the "blindness discount" in one of the Polish train ticket apps.
A different, far better app translates it as "blind people incapable of independent living".
Whether that's a good name for a discount that all blind people are eligible for is a different matter entirely.
Oh wow, Telefon-Scam. Bekam gerade einen Robot-Anruf mit Münchener Nummer: "Dies ist PayPal, wir haben eine verdächtige Transaktion in Höhe von 499€ von Ihrem Konto entdeckt. Drücken Sie die 1, um mit einem Mitarbeiter zu sprechen…"
Ja, klar. Dumm nur, dass ich gar kein Paypal hab (weiß schon warum). Aber wer sowas nutzt und einen solchen Anruf bekommt: Seid vorsichtig!!!
