ich les ja einige ki-newsletter und es ist unglaublich: gpt 5, das eigentlich nur ein erweiterter "mixture of models" ansatz ist, bei dem die "reasoning"-features mit einbezogen werden, wird überall als großer wurf gefeiert, statt als die stagnation des ansatzes, die immer offensichtlicher wird. solange die grundsätzlichen probleme der unzuverlässigkeit nicht gelöst sind, bleibt der einsatz auf schreib- oder programmiertätigkeiten beschränkt. gpt5 kann dasselbe wie gpt4, nur stellenweise besser.

Government ‘influencers’

‘Lord’ Walney, a lobbyist for Israel, weapons manufacturers and the oil industry is urging the government/police to up the ante on protests over the banning of Palestine Action. Who would have thought it? One assumes those organisations protesting against fossil fuel companies will be next on the proscription path.

That is high!

I remember when I was training in a small Cessna 150, my instructor got me an invitation to the Airbus Training Facility in South Florida. Wow place!

I got a few minutes allowed in an A320 simulator (the real thing with hydraulics they use for training airline pilots). The instructor was sitting back of me giving me directions. Upon landing, at touchdown he says to level, we touched down. I says it feels too high. He says remember you are 40 ft off the ground, this is not a small Cessna. The sight picture felt weird that high.Never forgot this experience.

My high school once did an outing to the local pilot training school and us kids got to have turns in the 747 simulator. I tried to fly under the Sydney Harbor Bridge but of course hit the drink. I believe one student in our class did eventually become a commercial pilot.

Common sense tells me not to trust "man-made" meat, but this is truly sickening. The USDA and the FDA, like many other alphabet agencies, are captured agencies, and anything they do is suspect. It is evident that nothing they do is in our best interests, only theirs.
Lab-made meat. A quick Pubmed search shows they are using human #cancer cells. Aka #HELA cells, because they're immortal and keep replicating. Yes, they are also exploring the use of other human and animal cells too, but immortal human cancer cells as well. It also says there is the potential for these cells to cause cancer or other problems, but that's yet to be determined.
But the #USDA and #FDA approved it to enter the human #food supply.

what do you mean by tiny?

vlang binary size is 17mb, its garbage collected, website says:

"JavaScript and WASM backends

V programs can be translated to JavaScript (WIP):

v -o hello.js hello.v

The JS backend is at an early stage.

They can also be compiled to WASM (for now with Emscripten, but native WASM support is planned). V compiler compiled to WASM and running V programs by translating them to JavaScript"

5 Linux KDE Plasma Features that Completely Changed How I Use My PC


Are you using KDE Plasma but still working the same way you did on Windows? Do you wonder if you're getting the most out of your KDE Plasma setup? Well, here are five game-changing features that completely transformed how I use and interact with my PC!

By default, KDE Plasma can feel like another desktop environment (DE) trying to nail the Windows look and feel, but it's so much more than that! Plasma offers unique features that can fundamentally reshape how you think about desktop computing, turning routine tasks into effortless interactions. These aren't just a different way of doing things, but rather a better way as they eliminate entire categories of friction and open up more efficient workflows. Here I've shortlisted my top five favorite KDE Plasma features, how they've changed my approach to desktop computing, and why I can't go back!

The far right are bonkers. Obsessive and bonkers.

Past time the fine art of Eugenics caught up with Modern Science, rejecting ye olde One Drop Rule that defined a sufficiency of non-whiteyness to permit lynching to the Not One Molecule Rule: a single molecule of melanin renders one NOT white--AND this is coupled with the necessity for the precise (far) right SHADE of blue eyes. NOT ONE MOLECULE! Yrs. Stevie Bannon, HH88

Our area transit authority just shifted from using physical bus passes to doing everything from an app on riders' phones. That was last week. Today we got sent an email advising us to open the app and have the pass ready before getting to the bus stop, because of "spotty" cell service in some areas making it difficult to open the app & retrieve the pass. You know what didn't need cell service to work properly? The little plastic pass they just got rid of. Idiots.

J’aime pas les politiciens

"Arrogants, suffisants, les politiciens traitent toujours le peuple en mineur. Ils profitent de leur rente électorale et exercent un droit de tutelle sur leurs électeurs qu’ils peuvent trahir à tout moment.

CDU-Politikerin Breher soll neue Tierschutzbeauftragte werden

no but they had some issue with the AC that made our stateroom smell like burning rubber at 2:30am followed by an early morning evacuation drill.

And the food is abject garbage. There were literally two things @Pheonix could eat without experiencing inflammation in her joints or wanting to throw up. If it weren’t for sashimi being available at extra cost, I’d only have one.

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence of a giant planet orbiting a star in the stellar system closest to our own Sun. At just 4 light-years away from Earth, the Alpha Centauri triple star system has long been a compelling target in the search for worlds beyond our solar system. […]
