@paul_denton C'est monstrueux.
Si je voyais un truc comme ça en vrai, je crois que je me ferais dessus...
@nicod Ça me fait toujours penser au film Twister (1996) que j'avais adoré mais qui m'avait fait faire des cauchemars pendant des décennies !
Son reboot Twisters (2024) est tout aussi bon !
Une tornade, ça fait tellement partie des saloperies naturelles contre lesquelles tu ne peux absolument rien faire. C'est flippant et impressionnant à la fois.

This is a subtoot about #Dolly Parton's recent passing.
Please resist the temptation to use the events of today to declare that all the good things are leaving the world. She worked to bring light into the world through a lifetime that has spanned decades. Her passing should not be used as an excuse to doompost. She of all people would not have wanted hopeless despair to be her legacy.
You want to see more light in the world? Work for it. Follow her example, and don't just mourn its passing.
@nolan just reading this post now, but wanted to let you know that (in Firefox) your :active style on links is making the links white and thus transparent.
@rem Wow, I use Firefox and literally never noticed that. Had to repro by clicking-and-dragging a link. Fixed now. 🤦 Thanks!
Hm, der Brand im Hohen Venn wurde wohl durch eine Agrarmaschine verursacht.
Dabei hatten Dirk Wiese gesagt, es seien Brandstifter und laut Innenminister Herr Bert haben "irgendwelche Idioten einfach etwas weggeworfen" …
Wer macht so was?
Mit Agrarmaschinen werfen ist echt asi.
@sl007
Wurde wohl? Na immer her mit Ihren Quellen.

I’ve been meaning to watch Channel 4’s documentary The Great #ADHD Myth all week, not because I think I’ll agree with it’s assertion that ADHD is a a ‘social construct’ but because I wanted to see what tricks the latest fighters of a culture war on #neurodivergence are using.
Professor Gina Rippon, whose books I’ve read and seen speak, eloquently shreds the documentary here:

Dolly Parton was one of the original funders of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine which saved millions of lives (https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/nov/17/dolly-parton-partly-funded-moderna-covid-vaccine-research).
I think "the poet-laureate of despair" would appreciate the irony.
@GeePawHill Incidentally, yesterday we went to a fringe theatre to watch a play about Leonard Cohen. I summed my experience of the play with one word - pathos.

While Europe is at war with Russia, Trump flies an American C-17 aircraft to Moscow containing a large convoy of diplomatic vehicles.
Imagine how the US would have responded, if Canada had flown to Berlin in 1945 to to get some trade going with Hitler because "Canada first".
This White House sides with dictators.
@randahl Wasn't it obvious from the beginning that the Orange is on Putin's side?
@aarbrk Yes, as I explained it's because randomness is added as an input. Computers cannot produce randomness; therefore they use e.g. a timestamp or other external information to seed a random number generators (that will then produce a deterministic sequence of numbers).
@thomasfuchs @aarbrk physical computers can and do have sources of randomness, and these influence the results of LLMs as well.

This is, quite possibly, the most entertaining interview i have ever encountered. You simply *must * read it. It keeps getting better with every question.
