I sometimes go through these lists to see if I have missed anything.
This time around I'm frustrated by the movies that were left out.
Where is Nausicaa or Laputa? How about After Yang or Robot & Frank?
And of course these lists miss all sorts of international stuff, but these people are trying--but not very hard when it comes to movies with female leads. Where is Tremors or Barbarella?

The best sci-fi movies of all time, ranked

@Deb Zaccaro-Rojas For comedy how about The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra?? At least they have Galaxy Quest.
in reply to Muse

Adding 'Galaxy Quest' was a pleasant surprise. 'Akira' was not a surprise. Not a single mention of 'The Electric State' was a disappointment. 'Lost Skeleton' is considered a parody, that might be why no mention.


🎉 I've bumped github.com/facet-rs/facet from "highly experimental" to just "experimental" — it has a pretty well-designed set of types, the derive macro is quite capable already, the JSON read+write crates are iterative (!!), go play with it!

i am admittedly quite behind on the my little pony lore, but do their lack of cutie marks imply that they haven't found their specialty/passion yet?

don't worry ponies, you'll discover your talent one day 😭

every time someone asks me if they're spelling a word correctly and they get it right i have to restrain myself from saying "that is corrict!" in a terrible guy montgomery impression

(yes i know he doesn't pronounce it as "corrict". i do that when i'm doing my terrible impression of him because, as mentioned, my impression is terrible)



We found a really cool giant virus inside the genome of a green alga, and it has a very strange infection cycle that is hard to detect.

There are reports going back decades of viral particles spontaneously appearing in pure cultures of green algae, so this phenomenon seems quite common but mostly overlooked.

Would adding something along the lines of "fair data sourcing" as a value make sense to you?
This entry was edited (8 months ago)
in reply to nigini

@nigini I suspect that might be hard to achieve given that the commodity models do not do this at present. But can you think of ways to easily bootstrap fair data sourcing without having to do large-scale model training?
in reply to Nathan Schneider

Very true @ntnsndr. At least for now, it is unreasonable to set a training pipeline. I think, though, that to make chatbots really useful, they need to be fine-tuned to certain purposes (and maybe that is a first opportunity.) Another high-level service that would be valuable and could use high-quality-fairly-sourced data would be versions of KOI Pond. ;)

El impacto ecosocial de una imagen generada por #IA estilo Ghibli.

Por @tunubesecamirio

utilizar una imagen “ghiblificada” tiene unos impactos ecosociales en todo el planeta y solo contribuye a concentrar el poder en las manos de las #BigTech de EEUU. Y esta acumulación de poder en manos de unos pocos tecnobros, que apoyan claramente la necropolítica de Trump.

the best part about Linux is that the terminal is the most powerful and its made to be the king and the most important, unlike on Windows or Mac where the terminal or command prompt is an afterthought that most of the time lacks behind the os and is only used by "nerds" in the eyes of the normal people.

160 years ago today, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union forces in Richmond Virginia.

There are a lot of reasons the Confederates lost. Among them, its leaders didn't know how to run a functional economy.

Crippled by hyperinflation, trade deficits, & inability to industrialize, the Confederacy tore itself to shreds in just four years.



@Friendica Support
I would like to pull some content from Ukraine to my Friendica instance and found the following relay that has all hte relevent Ukrainien Mastodon instances:
relay.social.net.ua/
However, `console relay add relay.social.net.ua/actor` gives me a `couldn't be added`. The reason might be that this is not a yukicmochi relay but based on some other code. Would you be so kind to have a look whether this can be fixed on my end or on theirs and how?
in reply to Tobias Ernst

Can you create an issue for that? I guess that especially for this relay we would need to filter not only for Ukrainian but also Russian, right? Possibly we could also add a possibility to subscribe to relay servers readonly.
