It has been a while since we released our last ISO, Endeavour Neo, and even though this new ISO comes with many improvements and technical challenges we had to tackle, like resolving issues that came with Linux kernel 6.13, the Xfce 4.20 update, sfdisk and Calamares' kpmcore, those challenges weren't the main reason for the long hiatus between Endeavour Neo and Me
i disagree with the conclusion of this article. employees weren't asked about their critical thinking skills. that was not the question. they were asked if (and how much) critical thought had performed on that specific task when they used GenAI.
this is like a journal in 1998 publishing an article saying "calculators make our mental math skills 'atrophied and unprepared'" because workers, when having access to a calculator, do less mental math. that's usually a good thing. it means the calculator is doing its job well, and therefore we can offload that task to it. it doesn't necessarily mean we become incapable of mental math in life; that would depend on how much we need mental math outside of the tasks in which we have calculators
New Microsoft study finds that using generative AI at work makes employees' critical thinking skills "atrophied and unprepared"

That sort of position always brings to mind Whitehead's quote on his work on mathematics:
It is a profoundly erroneous truism, repeated by all copy-books and by eminent people when they are making speeches, that we should cultivate the habit of thinking of what we are doing. The precise opposite is the case. Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them. Operations of thought are like cavalry charges in a battle — they are strictly limited in number, they require fresh horses, and must only be made at decisive moments.

(1/2) Arabic was formalized almost entirely by Persians who derived language theories to understand how Arabic works.
Two intellectual rival grammar schools developed:
* School of Basra - Accepted rational derivation of grammar + minimized exceptions * School of Kufa - More reliant on literary evidence + allowed more exceptions
This is simplified, of course. Though they agreed on much & eventually merged, it had a profound impact on legal theory and philosophy - parallel to Aristotle vs Plato

#TIL that #Thunderbird lets me set #filters to move an #email to a particular place *when* I archive it, rather than immediately! So I can still read the emails as they come in, and then hit "archive" to have them automagically filed away 📁️
There are other triggers too, besides "as soon as the email comes in" and "when I archive" that I haven't explored yet. Thunderbird rocks! ✨️
Today, the National Security Agency (NSA) is planning a "Big Delete" of websites and internal network content that contain any of 27 banned words, including "privilege," "bias," and "inclusion.
Introducing, my new bot @transfers ( @[url=https://social.bgp.tools/users/transfers]transfers@bgp.tools[/url] )
Using the stuff I built for the IP transfer history feature on bgp.tools, this bot will now post all of the new IP/ASN transfers (with a 24-48 hour delay) that the website observes, plus a rough estimate of what the market value for the IPv4 addresses are being moved around are worth
Why when I create a post and embed a video (I upload the video to my friendica storage) I always find it at the bottom of the page? I'll give you an example , I create the post like this
ABCabcAbcABC....I write something..... then I embed some videos from youtube like this,
I click on preview and everything is perfect , when I click on share, I publish my post, and I find the attachment of the video that I inserted at the end after the hashtags
What kind of formatting should I use? I've tried various combinations, I normally write my posts in Joplin notes, then I copy and paste. But I created this post directly "Create new Post" but nothing changes
On the opening day of the new GB Terminal in Amsterdam, #NS came out with a promotional video that features a lot of people pretending to be travelling. It is probably easier to hire a lot of actors than to ask real passengers for permission.

Since pdfinfo says this was produced using LaTeX via pandoc, would you be able (and permitted) to also post an HTML version somewhere, for accessibility?
Ableton Move's vision accessibility features, why they matter, and why musical instruments should be doing more industry-wide.
Finally got around to sharing more on this after @BorrisInABox brought it up and @Onj added some more - and they have some great feedback which I'm sure will reach Ableton.
Chinese instances are due to many chinese networks doing MiTM so instead of flooding the user with errors, they just disable certificate verification altogether.
@cybertailor @mike sure, but that search also does not find all the relevant occurrences because of other ways to write the code and other languages, so it simultaneously is also much higher
I imagined the number to be much smaller in code tbh. Some portion might be related to one of the reasons people turn it off on cli too maybe? If you google most cert error messages many stackoverflow top answers are "use this flag that i didn't explain what it does but it will make it work"
Well, maybe it is time to deprecate and remove the option. Learning by pain for a better world. At least it will be funny to see how half the internet breaks and all the IT people running around, waving hands and swearing. 😂
Nvidia’s new RTX 5090 GPUs are experiencing issues with the 12VHPWR power connector melting. It’s similar to reports of RTX 40-series connectors melting.
Anthropic (Claude LLM) AI Company doesn’t want people using AI for their resumes or any part of Interview for software developer or IT jobs at their office. How ironic? LOL. The company says AI tools are flooding their system with bogus résumés and too many applicants. They can't find real talent even using their own AI system where candidates lie about their skills when resumes are created by AI.
I wanted to know more about THE VOICE, who defined movie trailers until his death in 2008.
This is amazing. His voice changed in the middle of a sentence when he was 13. The next day he didn't want to speak in class so his teacher got annoyed. He finally said, "so what do you want me to say," in his new baritone and got sent to the principal's office. 😃
Folk, don't start smoking. It's hard for many to stop and we lose too many good people to it.
750,000 television spots, 5,000 movie trailers, 1 voice, Don LaFontaine has the most recognizable voice in the game right now. Here is the legend's story tol...
Who wants to help out with using #bittorrent v2, which has file-based merkle trees, to be able to combine the smaller chunks of at-risk data scraped by many independent people, none of whom can store the whole thing?
It's the first time I've seen a real use case for Bittorrent v2, a cool p2p and interface design problem (also need to make the site capable of representing ragged, overlapping parent/child relationships, make it possible for people to "claim" chunks of a dataset as ones they are in the process of scraping), and all about making sure the fascists can't own the informational space and control what is allowed to be known.

Meta leeched over 80 terabytes of books of off torrents for commercial purposes. Not personal use. They made sure to not seed the books to cover their behinds.
When you do it, it's 30 years in prison, when they do it it's a fine.
In this video I discuss how Meta/Facebook has been illegally downloading dozens of terabytes of books from Z-library, Libgen, and other sources to train thei...
