Generative AI is an abomination.

but what really consumes more energy? ai video generation or going 96 in a school zone?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

I wonder if all of this now slop, but eventually "great", AI crap will start pushing people back to using #lynx and the like, or even #gopher. Why bother with images and videos any more when signal-to-noise ratio gets below a certain point.

With browsers we learned to use #adblock and the like, but how to #aiblock?

At this rate the only winning move might be just not to play, and move back to text based tools. Or enjoy your new friends if you never left 🙂

That reminds me - we have bats nesting in one of the walls of our house. We want to move them to a better location (we want to put up a bat-house) on the outside of the wall; we don't want to harm the bats - we kinda like them being around.


If you don't want AI spying on your phone, there are options besides continually disabling it. One great one is, next time you need a new device, get one with e/OS. Android minus the spying. murena.com/america/products/sm…

Update: See below for some very compelling critiques of e/OS.

As I've been watching some interesting farmer-owned youtoob sites, the first two chickens remind me of Ayam Cemani hens...the third could be a Rhode Island red, and the last one is a rooster, possibly a Faverolles

If the Institute for Scientific Information of Coffee says coffee is good for the brain, body, and soul (that last is my addition), it's got to be true.

News just in: company's new console will be more powerful. Truly incredible scenes.

I'm begging gaming sites to hire people that understand what they're talking about.

"Even more impressive, though, is that 12 GB of RAM for the Switch 2 would mean it's more powerful than the Xbox Series S, which would be significant."

RAM amount = power now apparently.

I hope a company just changes it up one day, the new device is just considerably slower
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

yeah they are obviously wrong. Everyone knows the hotter a console gets the better the performance.

UnitedHealth recently helped kill single-payer health care legislation in California.

Gov. Gavin Newsom backed off his previous support of the idea -- after he & Dems received huge money from UnitedHealth donors. buff.ly/3ZPLOPu



I appreciate that @eLife decision to provide a 'partial feed' of work judged "solid" in order to get indexed was made in consultation with the community, and it serves researchers' interests to have their papers indexed. But, it does feel like likely that many will perceive this as more like traditional pre-publication peer review rather than an experiment in post-publication peer review, which is a shame.

(Edited because I think my original formulation of this post was too negative.)

Major media outlets have alluded to Luigi Mangione’s manifesto, have it in their possession, and have selectively quoted from it, but refuse to publish it in full. No surprises there.

Well, here it is, courtesy of Ken Klippenstein.

I doubt this will change anything in the short term. Nothing’s really gonna change until Congress grows a pair and passes universal healthcare.

But this incident illuminates something interesting. The American healthcare industry isn’t just hated by the left—it’s hated by most Americans! Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh learned this the hard way.

Alas, selling universal healthcare to the right is easier said than done. Right-wing politicians reflexively slap the “socialist” label on it to make it toxic. They’ll also not-so-subtly suggest that certain people don’t deserve it.

But we gotta find a way. I mean, think about it. When’s the last time an issue has united us this way? There’s an opportunity here, and I hope there are a bunch of people smarter than me ready to seize it.

Universal healthcare—let’s make it happen, people!



I just wanted to read the letter from the Nobel laureates asking the U.S. Senate not to confirm RFKJr. I went through all kinds of paywall and email wall b.s. at the NYT and what I found on archive was broken, it had bits and pieces only. Finally I found the link to the PDF (static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/…) and I have to say the letter is pretty underwhelming.

thanks for posting. I also looked (unsuccessfully) for the actual letter...
