@markmetz@sfba.social Just today the EU Commission (currently in the hands of right-wingers) touted the massive impact of LLMs on mammographs. I know who I trust more, and it's not the EU Commission :D Even someone on Reddit that I can't possibly verify has more credibility in this sphere.

People who seek to have very precise definitions of right wing movements are falling into a trap. The right wing is not a political movement. It's a scam. Attempting to build a taxonomy of scams will fail: Scammers are like computer viruses, they alter their superficial characteristics all the time, and use dog whistles to reach their targets without saying the important things out loud. Please understand this, if you are an academic: THERE IS VALUE IN STUDYING THE SURFACE PATTERNS OF VIRUSES, BUT ONLY IF YOU REALIZE THAT THESE ARE FUNDAMENTALLY ABOUT SUBTERFUGE, AND NOT ESSENTIAL TO THE FUNCTION OF THE VIRUS So, yeah, you can study "how does the right wing hide their intentions?" but if you end up saying "No, that one is not fascism, because it professes hatred for the state" then you have fallen victim of UNNECESSARY ABSTRACTION. Fascists lie about what they believe in. That's because their beliefs don't stand up to scrutiny. You can't very well go around saying "I believe my followers' money should be in my pocket" or "I hate brown people because I am bad at my job and some brown people aren't". #PitfallsOfAbstraction

"Holding individual consumers responsible for climate change action is bad" must not get in the way of "Organizing individual consumers to cast off consumerism and throw down the ultra-rich" The ultra-rich aren't going to fix themselves. The only ones who can force them is literally everyone else working together. #Climatecrisis

@pelicangut@aus.social Somehow this person thought the appearance of the house would matter, even though this is seen from the outside, where the impact of the other units would make any observer go immediately insane.

@henrik@eliitin-some.fi@Noonis@eliitin-some.fi Niin, selvä "mielipide-ansa" IS:ltä. Nehän saavat paljon aikaan sellaisella, että pönkittävät jonkun täydellisen luuserin jonkin asian keulakuvaksi, jotta voi sitten myöhemmin hakata koko asiaa murskaksi, kun se keulakuva on niin arvoton. Bait and switch.

"Captain, the Grymulans are holding themselves hostage" "What?" "The Grymulans are saying that they want to continue to destroy their own habitats, and that they will destroy their own habitats even faster if we don't let them" "And what does the prime directive say about this, Mr. Spock?" "It says 'drink heavily and try not to look directly at them', Captain" "Sounds about right, cheers all" #Microfiction

@Kata_Pultti@mementomori.social Tofu käy minun mielestä sellaisenaan. Se ei ehkä ole kovin kiinnostavan makuista, mutta joskus sen rooli on ainoastaan olla proteiinin lähde. On toki myös valmiiksi marinoituja tofuja. Ja tietysti monia vihanneksia voi syödä raakana :)

@Susan60@aus.social Correction: It used to be thought, by utterly disreputable cranks, that it was caused by all manner of things. Don't allow the massive fascist PR campaign to cloud your perception about what was actually available in terms of medical knowledge. @theartlav@anarres.family @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt

@johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz Those numbers are sort of underwhelming when considering the effect of a "starquake" on a magnetar's surface - a massive burst of power that could fry entire planets if they happened to be in the line of fire. cf. "SGR 1806-20, located around 50,000 light-years away from Earth. The light and energy reached Earth in the infamous event in 2004. In merely one-tenth of a second, the magnetar hit Earth with 1040 watts of energy, which is more energy than the Sun produces in 150,000 YEARS."

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @_elena@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu We must become self-sufficient in destroying democracy for profit! We must become self-sufficient in pro-Putinist and pro-Genocide conspiracy theories.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org Voting for right-wing MEPs causes this. And the corporate-owned media will direct the unthinking "centrists" and "conservatives" to vote for exactly that sort of corrupt right-wing MEPs. So everybody else has to work twice as hard to stop those bastiches from taking over the EU as well.

@mrundkvist@archaeo.social When the AI biz is buying up manuscripts by the yard, do you think they check if any of them are rare? They don't. It is certain that some of those will be unique. @ErikUden@mastodon.de

@helpsterTee@social.helpsterte.eu @noybeu@mastodon.social Sounds like a plan.

Is there a tool that reasonably compares photos (which may not have identical names, and may or may not actually be identical) and sorts out the duplicates by quality? I have about a Tb of unsorted family photos straight from digital cameras, and I need to back them up, but I also need to conserve disk space, because of the fucking oligarchs. Also, what would be the best storage method/medium for reliable long-term storage? #photography #beginnerQuestions

@juuhaa@mastodon.social Uusi sana "ällyttää". Se on sitä kun ällöttää kun tekoälyhöpöttäjät puhuvat....

@tribactam@social.vivaldi.net Ehh, "law" is really just another word for "observation". It's from before we had a good understanding of scientific progress. Back then it was thought that we "discover" the "laws of nature". But that is just another way to fool ourselves into thinking our theories are completely true and infallible. Correctly understood, the law is how the world behaves in some respect. We don't really have any direct access to that, so instead we make measurements and form theories. @juergen_hubert@mementomori.social

@parasetamoli@mastodontti.fi Niin, en ole koskaan käynyt paikalla, mutta näyttää minusta siltä, että siellä on valaistus päällä, ja joku istuu kahvilatyyppisessä pöydässä, ja vissiin joku seisookin siellä oikealla taustalla, katsoen sitä heppua päin joka on ovella. @magdalenahai@mstdn.social

@mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io And I daresay Argentina is suffering from not understanding this, considering their current leadership. You don't fight fascists by whitewashing the past fascism.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org and there was much rejoicing

@oblomov@sociale.network Also, manager makes a decision based on a metric, not realizing there's data missing, ends up doing something unhelpful, and it takes a number of other managers to gang up on them to make it stop. @futurebird@sauropods.win

@sampsa@mementomori.social Eihän ne kuuntele. Valehtelevat vain. Sanovat "maahanmuutto on haitallinen" Ei ole totta. Median omistajat ovat kaikki oikeistolaisia, joten he tukevat oikeiston valheita. Ja YLEnkin he ovat korruptoineet "tasapuolisuuden" nimessä. @tommi@jontka.fi

@0x00string@infosec.exchange Also funny how the us media has succeeded in making "a righteous person wrongfully slain" (i.e. martyr) have connotations of "terrorist".

@utzer thanks a lot!

@0x00string@infosec.exchange It has, he does it on the regular. That look on the faces of his followers when he goes from "hero" to "loser" in three run-on sentences.

@agreenberg@infosec.exchange "Get accustomed to AI" they said. "You need to feel comfortable with it" they growled. AI Groomers will then be all surprised when their people get hacked by that "familar" tone.

Anyone know of an old web application that generates/translates heraldic descriptions? You know, the points sable on gules code language? I just came to think of it, and thought I bet someone made a tool for that back in the cool old days where the internet wasn't buried in shit... #heraldry

@meganL@mas.to They would "admit" it by accusing you of being woke for pointing it out. Which would be correct if by "woke" they mean "in favor of human rights". But they won't admit that directly either.

@danlyke@researchbuzz.masto.host If we could get some rogue back propagation experts involved, it might be possible to make the models burst like soap bubbles. I am also thinking the models could be taught to equate the greek question mark with the semicolon, because that would then be hard for human debuggers to notice.

@utzer I guess spinning drives might not be as affected as SSDs since they don't use the same wafers (presumably)... Any hints on what such tools are called or where to find them?

@futurebird@sauropods.win It's one part selection bias, one part not being fed quite so much bullshit (or at least being fed some alternatives to bullshit to dilute the bullshit all of society swims in). @pluralistic@mamot.fr

@floriantfw@mathstodon.xyz It's a 1040 on my end, but it may be your instance doesn't parse it right. As for the other question, I don't think so. The duration was given as a tenth of a second, so that number should be the absolute amount (but do consider that this would be very high frequency photons and most of that will not actually have hit anything at all). But it's from a rather old article, and I haven't vetted it myself, so you may understand it better than I do. @johncarlosbaez@mathstodon.xyz
