 Who wants some good news? Last week I spoke to a middle school class about cybersecurity as a career, and AI came up. I asked if they had tried to use LLMs to do their schoolwork—they all had. But every student in the class said it didn't work. Why? "ChatGPT is too stupid." Kids are alright. @overholt I regularly pass by this mural of the Zug der bewaffneten Zürcherinnen! https://www.juergen-reichmann.de/europa/ch/zuerich_2_altstadt/45068/ An engraving commemorating the 13th century defense of Zurich by the town’s women disguised in armor, convincing the besieging army that it was too well defended to conquer. #newacquisition #newacq @overholt I regularly pass by this mural of the Zug der bewaffneten Zürcherinnen! https://www.juergen-reichmann.de/europa/ch/zuerich_2_altstadt/45068/

 (Musk and Altman glance at each other, a moment passes, and they nod. Sam pulls out his phone and dials.) On my home laptop, Super-E calls up the Emacs client. On this work laptop, Super-E calls up the Windows Explorer. So disappointed. Thee feeling when I need to look at the git log in the morning to remember what I'm supposed to be doing. Better than looking at the flagged emails in my inbox, I guess.

  @RadicalEdward I "had" to learn Java at the university in 1999, years before it was open source. So the argument is moot.   @alex fwiw, I've never heard that word used, though I would understand it in context. Compared to a few synonyms: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=reckless%2Coverbold%2Cnegligent%2Cheedless%2Coverconfident&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=3 I think "heedless" is the closest I can come up with as a regularly used word I like “cheat sheets” like this - it assists in unfriending assholes I thought I knew.

@BrianJopek I like this. I had a set of such rules I used to post on social media that I developed back in the G+ days. I included antivaxxers, flat earthers, and a few others in that non-political column   @BrianJopek Every intro to RSS feeds I’ve come across assumed people want to be introduced to RSS feeds! And so instead I wrote an article that takes a more people-centric approach: https://journal.jatan.space/why-use-rss/ I was looking for a word like Tollkühn, which is somewhere between overconfidence and recklessness, but in this context "toll" is something that is exaggerated (like Tollwut is exaggerated rage, i.e. rabies) and "kühn" is something like bold (not keen). And I learned that such a word exists in English: overbold! @alex fwiw, I've never heard that word used, though I would understand it in context.

 This is perhaps most the most brilliant litigation of the situation to date. She’s deafty sliced off the distinction between nationalism and the human race. A friend is visiting Lisbon with her mom, and asked me for restaurant tipps. I posted it on the family channel and got recommendations from my sister, my step brother, my mom, my step mom, my stepbrothers friend, and on and on and they are only stating one week. 😂 It’s great to see how our family grew through marriages and divorces! A sustainable energy system does not only require sustainable production, it also requires sustainable consumption. And at the moment, considering the vast majority of energy is produced by fossil fuels, sustainable consumption means consuming much less, until global emission have been reduced to acceptable levels. Sometimes photographing birds is just pure joy 😍 Can you imaging my delight when not only did this happen, but I managed to pan with him AND my autofocus worked like magic. Sacred Kingfisher bathing today just before sunset. He dived in 3 times and I only caught the one, but I am simple delighted to have it. #birds #birdphotography "Several delegations cautioned that some States may misuse the instrument to justify human rights abuses, stressing the importance of interpreting the Convention consistently within their obligation under international human rights law, and not as permitting suppression of specific human rights and fundamental freedoms under the guise of cybercrime investigations." |

@mttaggart also interesting is that the kids were smart enough to recognize how stupid it was. Many adults are not.
@mttaggart drunk people and kids speak the truth (old Dutch saying)
