Devastating review of the degrowth literature (561 studies):
- 'few studies use quantitative or qualitative data...'
- [those that do] 'tend to include small samples or focus on non-representative cases'
- 'large majority (almost 90%) are opinions rather than analysis'
It astonishes me that people expected LLMs to be good at creating summaries. LLMs are good at transforms that have the same shape as ones that appear in their training data. They're fairly good, for example, at generating comments from code because code follows common structures and naming conventions that are mirrored in the comments (with totally different shapes of text).
In contrast, summarisation is tightly coupled to meaning. Summarisation is not just about making text shorter, it's about discarding things that don't contribute to the overall point and combining related things. This is a problem that requires understanding the material, because it's all about making value judgements.
So, it's totally unsurprising that the Australian study showed that it's useless. It's no surprise that both Microsoft and Apple's email summarisation tools discard the obvious phishing markers and summarise phishing scams as '{important thing happened}, click on this link' because they don't actually understand anything in the text that they're discarding, they just mark it as low entropy and discard it.

And I thought "wait, didn't @mntmn's MNT Reform have a great Operator Handbook"? So I went and looked it up, and damn! It's even better than I thought.
Not only does it explain how to charge the laptop and turn it on. It introduces you to Linux, has exploded-view drawings of components, includes schematics and even a bill of materials! Magnificent.

🗺️ One of the things I try to do when on the island (or anywhere remote) is update OSM with new amenities, or delete ones that have closed.
I’m using Every Door at the moment. It works, but pretty it is not. Alternatives? Anyone? every-door.app/
Musk's X announced it would feed Twitter users' content to train their Grok AI model.
This was illegal under EU law.
The DPC took them to court. X said that it would fight the DPC.
Today it folded.
Just in case you wondered how these things go.

Das Lesen des Tatherganges im Urteil – schon vom 20.6.2024 – erzeugte bei mir ein Geschmäckle nach versuchten "Ehrenmord" und dass die Anstifter und wahren Täter unbehelligt bleiben!

🔎 POLITICOEurope published a new report on how European Paliament President Metsola is not exactly leading by example when it comes to the relationship with her lobbyist husband Ukko Metsola
politico.eu/article/roberta-me…
Here’s a 🧵
Even though a new code of ethics requires senior MEPs to declare conflicts of interest, including those involving their family, European Paliament President Metsola didn't declare her top EU lobbyist husband ‼️
Ukko Metsola works, in fact, for major corporate polluter Royal Caribbean Group.
Just got the invitation and booked the travel to the 6th HTTP workshop in London in November.
I'll be there as double agent for the curl and apache hobby projects.
Also, I plan to protect @bagder somewhat from the screaming crowds throwing their underwear at him.

¿A qué se debe que aún no podamos acceder a los datos de todo el país?
Según el organismo competente del @mitecogob consolidar los datos es un "proceso complejo y largo".
El Tribunal de Cuentas lo achaca a la mala coordinación entre comunidades autónomas y Ministerio.
El resultado es que encontrarás datos de 2017 y 2018 para 28 provincias, los fuegos de 2019 en 20 regiones más, los incendios de 2020 en 11 territorios y los de 2021 en Badajoz, Córdoba, Granada y Soria.
Con los datos en la mano podemos contarte que entre 1983 y 2016 ha habido más de medio millón de incendios que han arrasado una superficie como la de Aragón y Cantabria juntas.
Galicia es la comunidad autónoma con más incendios y más superficie calcinada. Aquí te damos los detalles⤵️
It is September 2024. For more than two months already, there are no direct trains between the Netherlands and London. Yet NS publishes a new article describing how you need to check in Amsterdam or Rotterdam 45 to 60 minutes before departure for pasport and security check. 🙄
I seem to remember somewhere in my old and addled mind that you had some sort of resource that removed aria from a webpage? I seem to remember something about a hammer if this is indeed the case and I have not been dreaming is there any chance you can point me at the resource. Cheers H

Just discovered that @protonprivacy have produced an excellent 60 page guide to IT Security for small business (and individuals!). It covers all sorts of software and network configuration. Not just about Proton products.
It's well worth a read even if you think you are upto speed as I guarantee you'll pick up a few nuggets.
