Non mais sinon, en vrai, pesticides, pauvreté, canicules, destruction des hôpitaux,... Macron aussi il aime tuer les gens. C'est un autre style, mais y'a la même passion.
@burgervege @Khrys ha mais je sais. Il s'amuse à tuer tout le monde mais en fait c'est pas grave car après il va utiliser une boule de cristal pour tous nous ressusciter.
Made it to the airport to head to Paris for #SotM2026, will be in town from Tuesday on. If anyone else is in town early and wants to grab a bite/drink, give a shout!
@gedankenstuecke check your email, there's a meeting that evening.
Apparently we've just seen the first murders committed by an autonomous AI-driven weapon.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/world/europe/russia-drones-autonomous-ai-kill-ukraine-war.html
In this case the weapon was a drone, it was Russian, and the victims were Ukrainian civilians. We're bound to see endless variations on this theme, starting now.
There's several different grids defined, whose differences do matter when interpreting data encoded in them. But these differences barely make a difference to a computer.
Much of our analysis can be done from the perspective of sets, but we may also want to flatten the grid to a certain level to compute distances or buffer the surface area of a location. Which isn't any more computationally expensive than rendering numbers.
Or we might associate data with each "zone" to be processed.
2/3!
So how'm I thinking of using DGGS in a feature-phone?
It'd let me render a map by using a post-order limited-depth tree traversal, whilst leaning into the human-intelligibility (combined with mentioning landmarks) to make it accessible to the blind. And its cheap intersections could help power address-search!
The DGGS standard came out in 2020: https://docs.ogc.org/as/20-040r3/20-040r3.html
Blowing me away with how computationally cheap it is!
Offloading the work to another computer is more expensive...
3/3 Fin!
@mattblaze My god, he’s just like you’d expect and looks like he rode his bike to the talk.
@LabSpokane And he's ALWAYS been exactly like that.
I think it's interesting to see that attitude reflected in this poll. It does clarify why that post got such strong negative responses.
Anyway, I'm much more Fediverse. I care more about whether content is available here than if it's copied elsewhere. I'd rather see content on both than neither.
@evan I think people would be more understanding if it really just was stuff being copied over to Twitter, like a bot mirroring their site’s RSS feed. I think folks (including me) are upset because Federico and John also reactivated their personal accounts. It seems like they’ll be actively participating over there, not just allowing their stuff to appear there. Especially after they made a big deal years ago about why they left.
(I respect your position. My priorities differ, which is okay.)
If, like me, you find it impossible to believe that this was 40 years ago, you're probably overdue for a colonoscopy.

The scatter
Of my bones
Will be poetry
Only the wild
Will read.
My last art.
May it be many words in the future.
@joepie91@slightly.tech i feel that a somewhat related thing is that this erodes communities and trust in one-another
we used to be able to trust that, if someone made something, they cared about it, they actually poured legitimate effort into it. now we can't, which makes people suspect one-another and point fingers at one-another
it's horrible
@mattblaze @AssociatedPress I read the opinion—and the two dissents are blistering. I urge everyone to read it themselves: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/26a124_hgci.pdf
@SteveBellovin @AssociatedPress They are indeed. But even setting that aside, the ruling is procedural and narrow, and doesn't actually do what the headline claims.
rarely is the question asked: is our children learning?

@stefano I haven't seen any meaningful improvements in smartphones for a while now, *unfortunately.*
China joins Europe in scrapping Windows for #Linux https://zdnet.com/article/china-drops-windows-for-linux/#ftag=COS-05-10aaa0j via @ZDNet & @sjvn
The specialized Chinese version of Windows was already scheduled for retirement in February 2027, but now its end-of-life date has been moved up.
@sjvn Linux may become the equivalent of the Metric System: used by almost everyone except the US.

@GurgelSegrillo fabulous!
I sent, my friend,
the scientist an article
titled “Why scientists
see AI leaders
as false prophets,”
and she replied:
it’s because they
are false prophets;
so I sent, my friend,
the computer programmer
the same article,
and they replied:
their profits
are false too.
