I'd like to see someone suss out the data on the number of pedestrian collisions that are occurring over time, but I can't find it easily.
Deaths are obviously going up, and I'm not arguing that a larger car isn't more dangerous to pedestrians and other road users (they most certainly are).
But... I'm almost certain pedestrian impacts have gone up, making you more likely to be hit in the first place. That's important and that matters to the discussion.

@olmitch @coolboymew it's a continuation of the (possibly unintended) quote from bo burnham's "what" show

I am once again asking that documentation is published in not just video form.

Every instance should rename TWKN to something like this. ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE

Spam sucks.
We built the best spam detection system in the fediverse, using a combination of machine learning and behavioural analysis!
Best part is that this doesn't depend on any 3rd party service or API, and you can share/import training data.
Sometimes the most magical features are those we don't see 😎
@freemo the "Limited" or "Silenced" option seems to be the correct tool for the job. It would be nice if a user could opt-in an entire instance instead of single accounts though, but it's better than being flooded with awful content or blocking the instance outright.

it's fun when you look up software in github and it's like "latest commit: yesterday" and then you scroll down and some of the files have like, "last modified: 20 years ago"
THAT'S OLDER THAN GITHUB. THAT'S OLDER THAN GIT

@thor oh yeah, extremely sad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWRhdN2XusA
Jokes aside I kinda know what you mean, the more whiny, emotional way of singing, but we don't read it as sad (unless it's actually sad of course), we read it as just melodic and maybe more emotional than your standard western pop. A lot of slavic songs are what we call "skoczne" in Polish, translated literally as "jumpy" and more semantically as "lively" – fast-paced rhytmic songs for having fun where melodic/whiny vocals spice up the experience instead of making it sad.
The first example is from 2001 as the further into the current milenium you go the more western influences you see and less traditional ways of singing, but there's still bands that preserve and modernise them like Percival, the folks who made the Witcher 3 soundtrack, or Żywiołak who made this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcGCmFJVng0

Literally just asking ChatGPT to classify a text document gets 58.7% accuracy (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/370594216_ChatGraph_Interpretable_Text_Classification_by_Converting_ChatGPT_Knowledge_to_Graphs)
Gzip gets 68.5% (https://mastodon.social/@mhoye/110707564773784439)
On one hand, that's definitely misusing ChatGPT.
On the other hand, that's also definitely misusing Gzip.
If "Artificial General Intelligence" means "able to do tasks it was never designed for", then I, for one, welcome our Gzip overlords

Holy _shit_ this paper, and the insight behind it.
You know how every receiver is also a transmitter, _well_: every text predictor is also text compressor, and vice-versa.
You can outperform massive neural networks running millions of parameters, with a novel applications of _gzip_.

misconceptions programmers have about names:
1. everyone has a name
2. names are only in the ASCII character set
3. all names are pronounceable
4. evoking the true name of your enemy does not give you power over them
5. no one would ever name their child after a star wars character
