"The machine also dealt with its human interlocutors in polite and empathetic terms, in contrast to the scorn sometimes heaped on conspiracy theorists in real life."
Fascinating (but pay-walled) article on how chat #AI can influence people away from conspiracy beliefs. Humans are messy and subjective. Is an opaque summary machine more reliable and more engaging when it comes to discerning truths?

#PPOD: This stunning photograph captures the most violent moment during an eruption of the Calbuco volcano in Chile. Volcanic lightning occurs in the plumes of eruptions when volcanic ash particles collide, generating static electricity. Additionally, water vapor in the plume condenses and freezes as it rises, adding ice to the mix. And voila! The eventual electrical discharge causes lightning.

I just can't get over this press photo making it into the world. So much uncanny weirdness going on here.
A friend called it 'bargain bin Carravaggio'.
Every company is going to use AI, both traditional machine learning or generative AI. Articles decrying this is like articles complaining about companies making products in factories with machines instead of by hand.
It’s old man yelling at clouds.

Read truecharts.org/news/scale-faq/ why this is a problem. And use the TrueNAS catalog instead.

Unity cancels the stupid Runtime Fee gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/unit…
Unity cancels the stupid Runtime Fee
After a complete disaster a while ago that saw many developers jump-ship, and cause a huge PR problem, Unity have now cancelled the Runtime Fee.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
loosening their fishing nets for now, I guess.
I think this whole ordeal angered me personally because learning a new engine and APIs means dedicating so much time that you learn a new way of thinking.
If a company then uses that to trap an entire community, in my opinion that's just evil.
Unity is canceling the Runtime Fee and reverting back to its seat based subscription model
-Unity Personal will be free and they doubling the current revenue/funding ceiling from $100K to $200K
-Unity Pro gets a 8% price hike

I just got curious about Bluesky and made an account a couple days ago. I had a follow within minutes, and more replies in an hour than I’ve had my whole time on mastodon. Plus, with multiple feeds, I was able to easily follow good accounts quickly.
I love the grass roots feeling of Mastodon, but it’s often like screaming into the void. I posted a simple Linux question with the popular hashtags and got zero replies here. There, I got 5 replies.
Do you know if they support posting longer than 500 characters if the instance supports it?
Edit: Just checked, it is fixed at 500 chars. RIP.

In 2013, a senior university administrator where I worked “joked” that - to garner more attention to our research - my team should imprison me & the 1 other woman in a basement. This was the same week in 2013 that national news focused on the 3 female victims kidnapped, abused & imprisoned in an Ohio house for over a decade. (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_…)
This person was a former political appointee now at the university. Everyone went silent, but no one responded.
I’ve learned that a lot of guys visualize our social environment like this:
A wide bar is neatly segmented about 95% white and 5% dark red on the end, labeled “good men” on the left, “crazed evil men” on the right.
