@Fischblog Ich musste das dreimal lesen, bevor aus den Bananen Banden geworden sind... Danke Hirn.

Neil: There's a wealth of amazing Free software out there! I use loads of it.
Them: What do you use to write documents?
Me: I use vim. I write in Markdown, then convert it. (typst + pandoc)
Them: What about presentations?
Me: I use vim. I write in Markdown, then convert it. (revealjs)
Them: Your website? Blog?
Me: I use vim. I write in Markdown, then convert it. (mkdocs / bssg)
Them: So what about keeping notes?
Me: Oddly enough, I use vim. I write in Markdown... (vimwiki)
@alberto_cottica has been deployed since 1992 on Spanish high speed and long distance lines. Still a subject of debate as you can see in the link.
@ericfreyss thank you Eric, looks like I was wrong.
The govt's answer is really ideological. People are visiting Spain thanks to the sense of security brought by baggage checks on trains? Nothing happened in 30 years, means it's working? Yeah, right. If you believe this, I have a nice bridge I can sell you for cheap.
@ianthetechie yeah even if your core business is typescript and python, with infinite tokens at your disposal isn't generating code for SDKs trivial? (at least that's the idea they've been selling)

There's a meme on FB that asks why no billionaire has funded the halting or reversal of climate change, just so people would revere them for literally saving humanity. This was my response:
Partly it involves a process change to everything we do, so it doesn't happen on a specific day and so there is no glory, like saving us from an asteroid that's about to destroy Earth. There is no definitive problem that on a certain day you can say "see, it's done".
Partly because the solutions involve changing how everything on the planet operates in a way that many people will regard as adverse, because even though we talk about caring about our kids, people are really a lot in it for themselves and if it comes down to them having a good time or leaving a livable world for their kids, they're going to have a good time and pretend to hope their kids will survive it.
Partly it's that there's good money in pretending it's not a big deal, and these are people who like to use money as their signal of goodness. To the extent they pretend they care about humanity, in many cases they're just trying to make a profit on the fact that others do.
Partly it's that the solution is actually something that even billionaires don't have enough to just buy outright overnight.
Partly it's that it cuts into their lifestyles, in many cases, because the are some of the most planet-intensive people in existence. One of the things we need to do in order to survive as a species is stop being consumption-oriented and they are the poster-children for consumption.
Partly it's that they do not perceive that the threat is to all of humanity, only to some of it, and they think the people who escape it will be the clever ones, who they imagine are the ones with money. They think that by becoming rich, they have avoided it, and that they are humanity's best chance.
Partly it's that they have a bunker in their basement that is prepper-stocked with what they imagine is everything they need and they just don't care about others.
Partly it's that although we revere them as super-smart for getting to where they are, we over-attribute intelligence and under-attribute sociopathy. So, yes, they don't care that much about others, but also they aren't in a lot of cases the smartest among us.
Partly it's that everything else they do they already model as saving humanity in one way or another, so the "high" of having these alleged bragging rights would not last long.
Partly it's that their notion of what "investing" in has nothing to do with outcomes you want to see in the world, and everything to do with what brings monetary return, which steers them in the wrong direction.
Partly they think there are too many people and it's good that most of them will die, so they are doing humanity a favor by culling its numbers. (I'm not going to get into the racial breakdown of the order in which people die, but there's probably a lot to be said there, too.)
Partly they may just do the calculation that there are cheaper ways to get adulation.

We Analyzed Thousands of News Articles: Here’s the Proof of Pro-Israel Bias in Mainstream Media
U.S. media outlets were crucial in helping #Israel sell the #Gaza to the American public.

Debtors prison is just one example of many vacant and derelict buildings in Dublin that could be community spaces, museums, arts spaces, even homes or commercial spaces. We need ambition, we need someone who will fight to put these old buildings back into use and to breathe life into the city again. I know I have that fight in me. If you vote for me on May 22nd I’ll get to work straight away on fighting for the Dublin we deserve.

I declare "ethics" to be out of scope for my habit of feeding people I don't like to big cats.
No reply on the Fediverse may mention the following topics:
• Long-term social or economic impact of feeding people to big cats.
• The environmental impact of feeding people to big cats.
• Anything to do with the legal status of feeding people to big cats.
• Moral judgements about people who feed people to big cats.
@catsalad You REALLY don’t want to be left behind when it‘s time to feed the big cats.

Here's a radical idea. How about we stop funding wars and start funding public services and renewable energy. Anyone else agree?

@atax1a this is also how I feel about looking at ai art.
Like, I'm trying to grasp an intention, a thought, a human connection, and there's nothing. it's like reaching out my hand and grabbing a wad of slime instead of another person's hand.

@atax1a@infosec.exchange I've noticed that there are indicators of the prompting process but they aren't the same as indicators of a thought process. Let's say someone guided the prompt two or three times because it wasn't working quite right. Often there will be two or three new variables or interfaces because of those passes. There's not actually two or three new ideas to represent, it just kept adding to get closer to solving the problem. It's really hard to refactor code like this later because noise that looks important but isn't important is so hard to be sure you can remove. Or even know how to remove to fit in with the bigger concept (cuz there isn't one).
