1. París construye ciclovías, muchas de ellas protegidas, y resta espacio al coche.

2. En París ya se pedalea más que se conduce, algo que hace unos años se decía imposible.

Pasa en todas y cada una de las ciudades en las que se invierte en bicicleta quitando espacio al coche, París no es una excepción.

A pesar de contar ya con cientos de ejemplos de ciudades progresistas, los cenizos de ayuntamientos inmovilistas siguen diciendo que no es viable, que 'su' ciudad es diferente y que nadie va a pedalear.

Productivity in software dev has fundamentallyonlyone real measure: is useful things getting to the users?

Everything else is misleading and/or gameable.

We are living in an age of denial. Denial of a genocide. Denial of an ongoing pandemic. Denial of a climate crisis.

Acknowledging reality is an act of rebellion.

E.O. Wilson, who must have spent much of his life thinking about comparisons between ants (one of the major subjects of his research) and humans, once said:

“The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike technology.”

It's fashionable to criticize #LLMs, but can you think of another human invention that allows us to spend the energy budget of Tanzania to lift shitposts out of context and present them as if they were authoritative knowledge?

#AI

Another large language model scraper blocked. This graph is from a site which runs a tool generating answers for people doing important research work. The AI scraper sent hundreds of thousands of lookup requests evading rate limits by using about a thousand IPs and pinned multiple webservers at 100% CPU (graph from one attached). This is a massive waste of electricity to train a hallucination machine.

Microsoft Recall is going to make post-breach impact analysis impossible. Right now IR processes can establish a timeline of data stewardship to identify what information may have been available to an attacker based on the level of access they obtained. It's not trivial work, but IR folks can do it. Once a system with Recall is compromised, all data that has touched that system is potentially compromised too, and the ML indirection makes it near impossible to confidently identify a blast radius.

Linux is a bit shit sometimes,

There's your headline. I don't care whether you use linux or not; ten years ago that might have mattered, I might be trying to get more people to use it so that adobe or whoever would put more effort into supporting it, but that doesn't really matter anymore, these days everything either Just Works or there's a native equivalent that's better and I've no selfish reason to recommend linux anymore, so if you're happy with windows stick with windows.

If you're *not* happy with windows, here's the other half of that sentence at the top of this post:

Linux is a bit shit sometimes - but when it's a bit shit, it's a bit shit in the way of a cat who watches the mouse run across the living room floor, not in the way of a cat who suddenly decides to bite you for no reason. It's not *actively malicious,* it's just a bit shit sometimes, which these days is tbh pretty damn good compared with a lot of stuff.

Like, it's not bad because it's being hollowed out for investors, it's not bad because it's spying on you to make more money, it's not bad because its makers know you've gotta take it anyway, it's not bad because it knows it can get a lot worse before you look elsewhere, it's just... bad. But bad in like a normal way, like a bike with a wonky gear shifter and tyres that keep going soft, not like a bike that shows you adverts.

There's my linux recommendation.

Of all the people Altman could’ve tried to take advantage of, Scarlett Johansson seems like the worst possible choice. She sued *Disney*.

What are people's favorite sources for learning about data topics? Question intentionally broad so it's not only one topic.

Can be 📚 books, 🎧 podcasts, 🎥 video, etc.

I'll start:

* I enjoy 3Blue1Brown for 🧮 math in general: https://www.3blue1brown.com/
* I love the visual essays made by 📜 The Pudding: https://pudding.cool/

(If there are enough responses to this I'll make a resource list somewhere for reference )

¿Alguien tiene datos de cuántos miles de millones de mujeres se han "pedido" la baja por reglas incapacitantes y cuántos miles de empresas han quebrado por eso?

"AI" actually is the correct acronym, it just stands for "Automated Infringement", not the other thing.
