@CCC Ich möchte nochmal gerade die jüngeren hier daran erinnern, was die super harmlose "Volkszählung" damals 1987 für einen Aufschrei in der Bevölkerung und in den Medien gegeben hat.
Dagegen passiert hier heutzutage nichts bei deutlich schlimmeren Tatsachen. Hätte man das damals gemacht, hätte es eine Revolution gegeben.
Fazit: die Bevölkerung ist deutlich dumpfbackiger geworden.
X on korottanut kultaisen puutarhansa aitoja ja estänyt nitter.net:n ja xcancel.com:n käytön.
Ainakin ennen nuo olivat ainoa tapa nähdä esim X:ssä julkaistut videot ilman tunnusta k.o palvelussa.
Jos joku käyttää tai tuntee käyttäjiä niin nyt olisi viimeistään hyvä hetki lopettaa X:n käyttö.

“Honey, I’m home.”
This is *not* a subtoot, just a reflection…
In the context of abject failure, statements along the lines of “just X% of emissions” doesn’t get us anywhere
@Marloezovic ik dacht: even proberen hoe een embed werkt; voor Twitter was dat destijds heel bepalend: tweets werden geembed in nieuwsberichten die erover gingen, en werden getoond in prime time programma's. Voor mijn gevoel was dat heel bepalend voor de impact van die tweets en dus van het platform/medium zelf. Vandaar deze kleine howto.
@johan Goed punt. Zo had ik er nog niet over gedacht. Ik neem me hierbij voor binnenkort te proberen een Mastodon-toot te embedden in een berichtje. Maar ja, welke en van wie? ;)

I'm waiting for an appointment. A dude opposite just looked out the window and then said out aloud "There's the yellow fat boy!” and I have no idea what he's referring to.
Hopefully a bird, but I think he's talking about one of the construction workers on the street.
@matt Hopefully a yellow bean bag chair of the Fatboy™ brand?
Mamma che sgrida le due figlie piccole che guardano delle gomme.
- Volete sapere quante gomme abbiamo a casa? Le ho contate!
Risponde una delle due:
- Lei ne ha dodici, io undici, lei è in vantaggio

@david_chisnall @kevin Was the cost of an incorrect answer low for archival storage? Wouldn’t it result in data corruption?
Archival storage never relies on 100% correctness for individual bit reads. It relies on having enough error correction information that you can correct the expected failure rate plus some headroom.
You can, for any written medium, verify that the ML approach is able to read back above the threshold error rate. The nice thing about glass is that it's then stable. Unlike magnetic media, the voxels representing symbols don't decay over time, they're either written and readable or they aren't. Even with magnetic media, the decay rate can be probabilistically estimated and you write with enough redundancy to ensure that, based on your model, you have a certain percentage chance of being able to read back the results after a certain amount of time (and you also spread the error correction across multiple devices so that complete failure of one doesn't lose you any data).
