I heard this from @glennf and just tested on an Apple TV with tvOS 17.4 and a 10 minute screensaver interval and no YouTube screensaver kicked in before Aerial at the 10 min mark. The YouTube app version is 4.22.01 so it doesn’t appear to have recently updated. Something server side, maybe? Can anyone else report back if they’re still seeing the YouTube screeensaver (reference: https://joe-steel.com/2024-04-12-YouTubes-Screen-Stealer.html)

Them: ”You can mask if you want to”

My brain: 🎵 We can leave your friends behind
‘Cause your friends don’t mask and if they don’t mask
Well, they’re no friends of mine 🎵

• Aiwanger: Grüne und andere Extremisten
• Söder: Grüne gehören nicht zu Bayern
• Merz: Grüne sind der Hauptgegner
• Huber: Grüne und Klugscheisser
• CDU-Kreisverbände: Kettensägen for "Grünschnitt", usw. ...

Währenddessen arbeiten #Habeck und #Baerbock. Ohne Beleidigungen, ohne Diffamierungen.

Danke!

War in den letzten Jahren irgendwas, was einen explosionsartigen Anstieg von Pflegebedarf verursachen könnte?

Irgendeine systemische pan- und dann endemische Infektion, deren Eindämmung wir komplett aufgegeben haben? Die bei einem geringen aber sich aufsummierendem Anteil von Patient*innen Langzeitfolgen verursacht? Gerade auch bei älterwerdenden Menschen?

Hm. Ne. Mysteriös. Unerklärlich.

I'm increasing the price of Source Files, that puts GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket repositories into the Finder and Files app tomorrow.

Today is the last chance to get it at the lower price.

Thüringen hat jetzt viele Kreistage und Gemeinderäte, in denen 33 - 45 % der Rät:innen von der AfD kommen. Auch wenn die Stichwahlen für Landrät:innen in zwei Wochen alle pro Demokratie ausgehen sollten, ist das ein riesiges Problem. Prognose: da wird ganz viel kommunale Zusammenarbeit stattfinden, je stärker es in den verödenden ländlichen Raum geht, desto mehr.

What I wanted from AI: hundreds of robot servants to automate away all my stupid, repetitive tasks, leaving me free to pursue the life of the mind.

What I expected from AI: self-driving cars maybe, at some point.

What I got from AI: a wrong-answer machine which steals money from me and is powered by burning the rainforest.

“We know that it’s up, & it’s up earlier”

I have tested every day since coming home from #PyConUS, a 2700 person indoor conference, and have so far tested negative for COVID each day.

Masks. Work.

It's a long shot, I know, but does anyone in the Phoenix area have a dentist with HEPA filters in the office? I'm having some issues and can't put off an appointment. #Phoenix #PhoenixAZ #Arizona

Google blew it. They could have stood back and said: "Ha! Microsoft is so desperate for hype, it is irresponsibly linking LLMs to Bing. Google instead stands for reliable search and won't do that." But instead, Google did. They knew better. They all knew better. LLMs have no sense of meaning. They should be nowhere near the expectation of credibility.

In the name
of everyone’s safety
airport security told us
to take off our shoes
and dump out our liquids,
but as I untied my laces
the guard leaned over and told me
“masks aren’t mandatory,”
and though I wanted to say
“what about everyone’s safety?”
I instead said nothing.

The organizers of @pycon have given community organizers a massive gift 🎁

Let's not squander it!

A sold out #PyConUS 2024 proved that even large events can prioritize safety and inclusion for caregivers and immunocompromised people by way of requiring masks, and gathering venue data to calibrate their policy from year-to-year. Smaller events have proven it's possible at that scale, too.

Now is the time for at least one other large event to step up.

Who will it be? 👀

Huhu Fediverse,

ich mach's mal konkret: Ich suche ab dem 01.10.2024 eine remote Festanstellung und möchte das Freelancerinnen-Dasein hinter mir lassen.

Ich kann: Digitale Barrierefreiheit von vorne bis hinten, Inklusion bzw. DEI umsetzen, Unterschiedlichste Menschen beraten und schulen, Medieninhalte erstellen und Software entwickeln (PHP + Ökosystem, Python, bereit für was Neues).

Kennt oder hat jemand eine passende Stelle frei? Im Thread sind noch ein paar mehr Infos.

:BoostOK: Danke 💚

With that Bing outage, it’s may be a good time to read this very good post: “A look at search engines with their own indexes” by Seirdy

Here’s a WRITING TIP for you, something simple but which catches many of us out: If you have a great/fun idea for your story, use it now.

Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story which you might write tomorrow. You’ll have more ideas, I promise. Instead, make this story the best it can be.

Go ahead and break your fiction’s status quo. Go a step further and upend your narrative. Don’t hoard the big idea – use it now.

Still mad that instead of the semantic web and customizable, intentive user agents we've ended up with people breathlessly insisting we should clap when tech baron LLMs manage to compute the correct time twice an hour.

WALKING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE WITH MY MASK ON, AND AN OLD MAN WALKING PAST ME SAYS "AINTCHA HEARD? WAR'S OVER. WE FUCKIN' LOST." THEN HE PUT ON HIS MASK AND WENT INSIDE.

Shy Kids has constructed two short films for OpenAI where it uses “VFX+Sora” with accompanying breakdowns of the source Sora output, and what they did to make the video clips “work” in their montage narrative. If you’re doing this much work to prop up the output, and it still looks bad, then what the hell is the point? To say nothing of how tone deaf it is to showcase this during a huge VFX industry downturn. Bananas that they’re proud of this.
