Unsere Demokratie lebt von Engagement! Daher muss die Zivilgesellschaft geschützt & nachhaltig und gezielt gefördert werden. Bildung und Open-Source können dabei helfen, digitale Innovation zugänglicher zu machen und das zivilgesellschaftliche Engagement zu stärken. Benachteiligte Gruppen brauchen außerdem eine gezielte Förderung – der Zugang zu Bildungsmaterialien darf nicht vom sozioökonomischen Status abhängen.

Horrible to blame this flight accident on the prospect that disability hiring caused it, and even indirectly that hiring a less white workforce contributed to it. Just wow.
I don't claim I'd be good at the job right now being blind, nor to have knowledge whether tools exist to allow for any success since the job is so visual, but to have deaf or autistic folks participate equally if they can, sure, why not.
So this is merit-based, isn't it. You have a disability means you have bad work merit. Even if it comes out that the air-traffic-controller in this situation has a disability, I wouldn't judge their performance on that, and even if I did, I would first want to know whether barriers or other factors made them less efficient at their job. But not in this country anymore. Upset.
Update: It was nice to see some outlets cover this one:

This marks my very first technical blog post, Interning at @servo has been an absolute joy—I’ve learned so much about browsers, Rust, and the open source community, and I’m beyond grateful!

Een van de heikele thema's bij het starten als organisatie met opensourcewerken... Welke publicatieplatform kies je? Daniël Vos schreef er een stuk over dat je kunt gebruiken ter inspiratie: opensourcewerken.nl/blog/view/…

Welk platform gebruik jij het liefst? 🤔

I would have followed you on identi.ca and Jaiku before that if the chance had come up. Following on Bluesky doesn't mean I'm convinced. Bluesky has vc funding and we have two decades of experience. We see how things go once VCs join a project. I prefer projects while they're idealistic. Even Flickr has done well. I'm following on bluesky but as "acte de présence".

It has been a while, but here's a new #recorder video showing the "Kindergartenflöte" - an instrument without a thumbhole.
So, is it even a recorder?
Have a look and a listen, if you like. And let me know what you think 🙂

Subtitles are also on my blog, as well as a German translation.

Mit Verlaub, das mag hart klingen, aber für so etwas sollte ein Verantwortlicher zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden – mit Konsequenzen, die sicherstellen, dass er nie wieder eine solche Verantwortung übernehmen darf. Solche »Sicherheitslücken« sind grob fahrlässig. 👇

As my findings in my #GeneticProgramming research are becoming more and more thorough, I have started to document them. The main problem in my runs is still lack of diversity.

PS: It could be nice if we could write papers in some dialect of #markdown

PS2: These writings are for myself to remember where am I and where I'm going. No academic paper yet :)

The author of this model claims that it took $1000 to train. Meanwhile, $6m is considered cheap for *a single training run for a decent LLM*, and that doesn't even include ablations and experiments.

I really don't understand why this didn't happen earlier.

I thought Eleven Labs had some "secret sauce" that OSS models struggled to replicate, but maybe it's just that nobody even really bothered?

Earlier today, Anglican Priest Calvin Robinson ended a speech at a pro life summit in DC by giving the exact same Nazi salute that Elon Musk did.

The crowd laughed & cheered.

The Anglican Church revoked his license.

This is how you handle Nazis. You condemn them. You don’t pander to them.

Considering how many organizations excused Musk’s salute as an “awkward gesture”, I’m incredibly grateful to see the church taking a strong stand against hate
