So apparently when the display software of the SJ trains crashes it defaults to showing a trailer for Big Buck Bunny as part of its debugging info.

Think about it.

Who is used to a lifestyle where they get waited on hand and foot? Rich people.

So obviously rich people (and wannabe rich-adjacent people) are the ones pushing this false narrative that the general public is clamoring for “agents”.

We're not.

Honestly, I don't need Digital Jeeves 3000 to plan my kid's party, order my sandwich, check in on my dry cleaning, read my mail, text my friend, or *anything else* really.

What I need is more pay, healthcare, and better bike lanes. 🤨

I like how we took something computers were masters at doing, and somehow fucked it up.

It is better to be an octopus than a fisher when acquiring . Since it is easier to release the tentacles' suctions than taking out a hook.

One skill acquire is being able to understand various concepts in many different languages. Though schemas in one language usually poorly port over to another language and with the age of assisted coding tools, it is not that hard to force one's secondary language biases onto the new one.

This creates a quick deep water experience before one has even learnt the basics of the new language, which does not follow the traditional linear educational approach and could be argued that it's better since it will be easier to create multiple tentacle suction points over relying on well placed hooks.

If one has the opportunity to work on two similar projects at the same time with the one being the motivational anchor and prototype slate while the other rises on the shoulders of the conclusions. Then one will only need to inact personal harmonization to get both projects over the finishing line.

Through the motivational anchor one will be hooked to constantly continue development and thereby acquire the skill and knowledge that should transfer smoothly to the other project without too much self sabotage on progressing it further, since it is easier to achieve anew once one knows the procedures and felt the execution of them.

Confused why the tumbler was leaking after placing it upright in the ruck, only to later realize that I forgot to close the opening.

I’m officially done with takes on AI beginning “Ethical concerns aside…”.

No! Stop right there.

Ethical concerns front and center. First thing. Let’s get this out of the way and then see if thre is anything left worth talking about.

Ethics is the formalisation of how we are treating one another as human beings and how we relate to the world around us.

It is *impossible* to put ethics aside.

What you mean is “I don’t want to apologise for my greed and selfishness.”

Say that first.

@Patricia in HTML 4 there existed `<frameset>` and `<frame>`, which sadly have been deprecated in favor of `<iframe>` in HTML 5.

@pitrh just another example of a dark pattern. It works great on the ignorant or lazy user. Sadly most services have an incentive to be profitable and if the server gets more tips, then in the long run it is cheaper to keep them over hiring and training anew.

I notice more and more that self-service checkouts and payment terminals in Stockholm's bars persistently suggest leaving tips. Honestly, I don't really understand the logic: tipping is fundamentally a reward for good service. What service is there if I place the order myself via a machine and pick it up myself? My subjective feeling is more irritation than gratitude. This type of practice doesn't make me want to return, rather it decreases my loyalty to the place. #SelfService #Tipping #Stockholm #CustomerLoyalty

@sciencefocus even choosing the option in the settings doesn't guarantee that scraping will stop. Anything that is published on the web has a chance to land in a training model.

☀️⚡️ Everyone in Switzerland agrees we need more solar. But often, there's disagreement about where to put the panels without impacting the landscapes too much.

🛤️ Looking back, this one is a no-brainer, why not lay them down between train rails: there's already a strong connection to the grid, and it's infrastructure that's already ‘built’.

🇨🇭 First segment of the tracks got inaugurated today in canton Neuchâtel.
