If you are in your late thirties to mid-forties right now, there is a good chance that you have spent most of your life in a cycle of making some sort of home on the internet only to have it crumble beneath you like chalk and having to start over.

When we got solar panels for our house, the estimate was 13 years to breakeven. We broke even in 7 years, partly due to excellent electricity production from the panels and higher than expected electricity prices. Solar's a win-win!

@NanoRaptor Especially rude to call it "slop" when it actually looks good.

(I think the word slop is only correct for when it's obviously AI due to visual tells and poor quality.)

@TheBreadmonkey The weasel version of Lord Of The Rings was over much more quickly.

Three months of Private Packagist updates: Malware filter list support is already in place, ahead of Composer 2.10's release next week. Flagged versions show warning banners on package pages and are marked in the version list. Permissions views on package level, better background job & sync visibility, and a narrower GitLab OAuth scope (read_api).

If you rewrote it in Erlang, you'd never have to deal with AI again. Well, unless the slopmasters have finally found enough Erlang code to train their plagiarism machines with.

#Firefox - Petit rappel utile:
Dans about:config, mettez "dom.text_fragments.enabled" à "true".

Maintenant dans une page, vous pouvez sélectionner un bout de texte > clic-droit > "Copier le lien du surlignage"
Et vous obtenez un lien qui scrollera la page jusqu'à ce fragment de texte, en le mettant en surbrillance.

@lowqualityfacts 

Raising awareness of this loophole is so irresponsible. Do you have any idea of the impact this is having on hulks in the wild???

On m'a parlé de cet article. C'est dingue que des gens lisent encore ce site.

@sue@glasgow.social @grimalkina@mastodon.social Of course, I have some other concerns around LLMs as 'automation' given the relative failure rates compared to other things I would call automation (plus ethics, legality, etc). But the 'can it be done' discussions and the 'should we use this tool' discussions seem to get more time than the 'is this even a good goal' discussions.

Hello #Mecklenburg-Vorpommern!
Ihr kennt ein Projekt, das sich um Geflüchtete kümmert und dem die Gelder gestrichen werden? Ihr kämpft allein gegen den Rechtsruck in eurer Gemeinde? Der einstige Badesee nahe eures Dorfes ist aufgrund der vielen Dürrejahre nur noch ein Tümpel?
Dann schreibt uns unter m-v@taz.de.

Auch wenn ihr Tipps habt für eine Unterkunft in #Rostock von Mitte August bis Mitte September, da ist Hilfe besonders willkommen(!!)
