Golly, AI is a lot more dangerous and unsafe than the AI leaders have been preaching. Who knew!?

Autistici/Inventati's domains have now been revoked. I updated the link in the above post with a wayback machine copy.

Every now and then someone tells me, "We have a decentralized naming system, it's called DNS!" and I say, no we don't, DNS is extremely centralized? And if that wasn't clear to you before, hopefully it's clear to you today.

@owl I guess I just didn't understand how these naming systems in that region fit together with the Sami naming systems. Like which inherited which

I wish there was a subscribe/unsubscribe option that said "You can send me 1 email/month (you decide)". I'm on the fence with so many sources about blocking completely and missing the occasional update I want.

Very happy that I’m sitting in a field playing boardgames for the entire long weekend with my notifications turned off.

Once you realise that student housing developers can get short term letting income for the one quarter of the year when students aren't using it, it starts to make sense why so much of it is being built right now.

They can earn as much in those three months as they do in the other nine months.

Pour faire un parallèle avec le bar:
Si je suis super connu, et que plein de monde vient dans le bar nazis pour m'écouter, j'ai beau clamer "Je suis pas nazi !" ben je contribue au fait que le patron du bar gagne du fric et de la popularité.

Howdy folks, thanks for following ACARS Drama! Every once in a while we like to do a quick tour, so new folks know what this thing is all about. That tour will begin, thus:

ACARS is a radio service used by aircraft to pass messages to airline operations rooms on the ground, and vice versa.

ACARS has been around since the 1970's, it is broadcast completely "in the clear", which means anyone in the vicinity can receive those messages using low cost radio hardware and free open source software.

We call the folks who do this and pass the data to us 'sky drama farmers'.

Anyone can become a sky drama farmer if you have the right equipment, which all costs around $30. Our recommendations are on our website, https://acarsdrama.com.

Thanks to sky drama farmers around the world, we receive close to 300k messages an hour. Most of them are automated things or telemetry. 1/3

@mttaggart @stroz yeah 6a does make it nice.
