So I made a macOS thing. It's a fidget spinner, but with a twist.

Made possible thanks to @samhenrigold posting about his own experiments with these private APIs.

That little fellow is Pengu. His original children's program was just adorbs!

Electric cars should have a bullhorn outputting pingu noises corresponding to ac/deceleration and other control inputs.
in reply to Muse

My car needs a Pengu bullhorn that proudly declares, "BTW, I use Arch Linux!"

I know that the French have a bad reputation when they travel abroad, more so than other nationalities... and they also have a reputation for being grouchy!
Mass tourism brings uneducated people face to face with other cultures, and this often causes sparks to fly... Such is our world :/

But to get back to the French language, it's rare for foreigners to try to speak it. That's why it's appreciated. The pronunciation is very tricky... There are lots of letters that are not pronounced the same depending on their place in the word...
But this map is just a kind of joke and France is not only Paris ;))

in reply to Muse

"France is not only Paris ;))"

Absolutely not! Why simply go to Paris in order to see the work of great artists, when you can go to the countryside and see where those paintings were created!

The Nobel committee out here doing the devil’s work. They've moved on from their specialty in awarding peace prizes to genociders, to now giving Hinton one in…physics?

So the news is gonna be "Nobel laureate" telling us that “super intelligent” text synthesis machines will render us extinct 🙄

This dude is now a "Nobel laureate."

"he said Gebru’s ideas “aren’t as existentially serious as the idea of these things getting more intelligent than us and taking over.”

I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 15 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

Have you longed for some wise people talking about #AI, who know what they’re speaking about, but aren’t at the same time in the ownership or beneficiary classes from these technologies?

So have I.

The myths Silicon Valley tries to sell us are busted here, but not in a dismissive or doomy way. Harari & Raskin recognize the amazing potential of AI, while they see also the potential of not having a functioning society at the end to enjoy the benefits.

The real permission is in the fast stores of venture capital available to them.
in reply to Nathan Schneider

@ntnsndr i agree that makes a great difference. But governance begins where money’s influence ends, and it is by ideology & rhetoric.. I would even go as far as saying mythology.. that they capture the hearts and minds of the public & regulators.

@wiedmama oops! Embarrassing, thanks for the fix. At least we know our channel is run by humans 😉 -B


Aaay, I have a fancy new website design!

I wanted something that clearly explains why, as a musician, I don't wanna have my art mediated by the likes of Zuck, Ek, Musk and Bezos.

For the first time ever, I even done a manifesto! Put it to the test-o.

I really wanted to put an Owncast icon up there too, but it didn’t like the SVG format for some reason, just displayed text. Anyone who knows about SVGs have an idea why? I’ll ask the theme dev another day, if I don’t get it fixed…





in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

What does it look like if you start at 1965? Still bad, I'm sure, but not as ridiculous. Except for Cornell, ivy league schools didn't admit women to their science programs until the mid 1970s. Maybe someone in Europe can tell us what the situation was there.
