AI is fundamentally, irrevocably untrustworthy. It makes errors that it doesn't detect (because it didn't actually "read" the entire trove of text) and it generates responses that are "good enough," meaning they're not 100% accurate, but they have the superficial appearance of being comprehensive and therefore acceptable.

...

These programs are text / content prediction engines; they don't actually "know" or "understand" anything. They can't tell the difference between a consequential error and a "who cares" error.

...

AI fails at tasks where accuracy must be absolute to create value. lacking this, it's not just worthless, it's counter-productive and even harmful, creating liabilities far more consequential than the initial errors.

Today in Labor History July 22, 1946: In a terrorist attack, the right-wing Zionist group, Irgun, bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing 91 people. The hotel was the site of the civil administration and military headquarters for Mandatory Palestine, a League of Nations political entity set up from 1920-1948. During World War I, the UK promised independence to the Arabs in Palestine if they rose up against the Ottomans, who controlled the Levant at that time. The Palestinian Arabs did rise up, helping to force out the Turks. However, the British betrayed them, dividing up the land with the French under the Sykes-Picot Agreement. During that same time, Jewish militias were organizing to create an independent Jewish state in Palestine. The attack on the King David was part of the “Jewish Insurgency” (AKA “Palestine Emergency”), a paramilitary campaign carried out by underground Jewish terrorist organizations against the British in order to create a Jewish state. Disguised as Arab workmen and waiters, Irgun operatives gained access to the hotel basement, where they placed a bomb. They did it in retaliation for Operation Agatha, when the British authorities raided Jewish Insurgency members’ homes and offices and arrested many of their members. Much of the British intelligence on the Jewish militias was stored in the King David Hotel.

@jmw150 Some friend of mine showed me back in the day a compilation of a jacked af dude that was on a quest to "prove" that traditional martial arts are no match for raw power. Basically he was going back to back in the ring with masters of karate, ju jitsu et cetera, and beating them to prove that. Pretty metal if you ask me - also he turned out to be right, hence my view of the situation.

#HunterBiden can go fuck himself.

The only person that undermined #JoeBiden during the 2024 Election was Joe Biden.
The son-of-a-bitch promised us in 2019 that he would only be a one-term President.

He wanted to be the bridge between the old guard and the faces of the New Democratic Party.

But what happened to Joe?

He enjoyed the power and the prestige that went with the Office.

And his ego and his hubris refused to let him step aside.

Until it was too late.

So, fuck you Hunter Biden. Fuck you, and your dad.

Had your dad decided not to run for a 2nd term like he promised us all that he would it's possible the Democratic Party could have primaried and put forth a candidate that could have beat Trump.

re: bad

@arcana
That doesn't describe how one would raise them.
At best you just raise them together and do activities like you'd do with any siblings.

At you raise them while explaining them the reasons why you pair them and that they have the choice to continue or not to pair as they grow.

At worst you already marry them from the start (which some culture/countries do).

I'll let you guess which one I don't agree with.

Si ignoráramos a los ricos cada vez que abren la boca, dejarían de llamar la atención con sus empresas de mierda. Pero no: los medios se llenan de artículos con cada tweet de Elon Musk, y la gente los visita en masa. Luego esos medios ganan visitas, así que siguen publicando más de lo mismo. Y así gira el círculo vicioso: ellos dicen gilipolleces, los medios las amplifican, y nosotros las consumimos. ¿La solución? Dejar de mirar. Hasta que el medio se de cuenta de que no tiene visitas.

#Wuhan mitten in #Europa?!:


Völlig unbehelligt von der Öffentlichkeit entwickeln niederländische Forscher ein 100 % tödliches #Virus – mit staatlicher Förderung - und direkt finanziert vom niederländischen Landwirtschaftsministerium.
Ohne jede parlamentarische Debatte, keine öffentliche Kontrolle oder ethische Prüfung auf internationaler Ebene. Nichts.
In diesem Gain-of-Function-Experiment am Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR) wurde - offiziell um angeblich das Verständnis von H5N1-Mutationen zu vertiefen - ein Virus konstruiert, das exakt die Eigenschaften aufweist, die man von einem Biowaffen-Prototyp erwarten würde: maximale Letalität, Übertragbarkeit unter Säugetieren – und völlige Resistenz gegenüber natürlichen Immunreaktionen.
Der Fall zeigt vor allem eines: Es gibt keine wirksamen internationalen Kontrollmechanismen für biologische Hochrisikoforschung. Weder #WHO noch #EU oder nationale Bioethikkommissionen verfügen über Instrumente, solche Projekte im Vorfeld zu verhindern oder zumindest öffentlich zu machen (was ich hiermit gerne tue!).
Während #Brüssel Datenschutzrichtlinien bis in die Zahnarztpraxis reguliert, darf in Lelystad ein Supervirus konstruiert werden, das die Existenzgrundlage der gesamten Menschheit bedrohen könnte.
Wenn wir diese Entwicklung nicht aufhalten, wird die nächste #Pandemie nicht aus einem Markt in Wuhan kommen – sondern aus einem Labor, das wir mit unseren Steuergeldern finanziert haben!

Generally, what people dislike about Ubuntu are the inclusion of Snaps, the proprietary backend of the Snap Store, the opt-out telemetry, and some questionable decisions over the years.

But you could always disable all of that? That's just part of the story. If what you dislike is Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, then disabling this doesn't really help.

And we'll begin by immediately lying, as this one isn't Ubuntu based: it's actually the one Ubuntu is based on: Debian. If what you like about Ubuntu, and what you want to keep using, is apt, the package manager, the vast software repos, but you want a vanilla KDE or GNOME experience, and none of the Canonical projects and decisions, Debian might be a really solid bet.

Mint is based on the latest Ubuntu LTS, and removes basically everything that makes Ubuntu, Ubuntu: snaps aren't there, some apps that don't have a debian package anymore in Ubuntu have on in Mint, like Chromium, and they don't use the GNOME desktop: you get Cinnamon, a desktop Mint developed themselves, once based on GNOME 3, but now pretty much its own thing.

One you might want to try is Rhino Linux. It's also a relatively recent distro, and it moves away from the Ubuntu template by being a rolling release: it doesn't give you major upgrades, it's always updated in the background, especially the Linux kernel, and some important apps, like Firefox.

Rhino Linux doesn't use the GNOME desktop by default, it uses its own vision of XFCE, that, let's be honest, feels very much like modern GNOME. You can use apt, but Rhino Linux also comes with a meta package manager, called Rhino-pkg, that lets you install debian packages from the repos, flatpaks, snaps, and it also lets you use pacstall, an equivalent to the Arch User repository for Ubuntu.

Another Ubuntu based distro that has a few cool tricks up its sleeve is PopOS. PopOS has some updates on top of that base, notably for drivers and the Linux kernel, and has some applications that are provided in their own repo, so you're not stuck on very old versions of important apps. They also have some interesting tweaks to the GNOME desktop: they offer a different experience, with a dock by default, an app launcher, and auto tiling features that let you switch from floating windows to a tiling window manager at the press of a button, or with a keyboard shortcut.

If you're more of a KDE user, then there's Tuxedo OS. It's Ubuntu based, with the latest KDE apps and desktop, plucked straight from KDE Neon's repositories: this means you get a semi rolling release model, with access to the repos for Ubuntu's latest LTS version, plus some extra repos on top of that for more recent kernel and drivers, and some applications that need to be more up to date.

And now for a list of the distros I didn't really include, and the reasons why!

The first one is Zorin OS: while it's a good take on Ubuntu, being basically exactly Ubuntu LTS, but with a customized desktop, pre made layouts, and support for virtually every packaging format out of the box, it's also based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and the Linux kernel 5.15.

The second one is elementary OS. It's based on 22.04 LTS, and does have access to the full Ubuntu repos. While I personally think it's a really great option, the defaults won't fit everyone, including the removal of all debian based packages from their graphical app store.

And then there are all the Ubuntu flavours: they're also now constrained by Canonical's decisions, like preventing them from shipping another packaging format than snap.
