One hundred things that went well this year (some whimsical, some debatable):
@tripu I’m a bit concerned about the indiscriminately pulling up bits of data, although the arguments used are usually not good, and it’s an immature area. The “solutions” are also usually pretty nuclear.
Flawed (or dishonest) logic behind #AI criticism:
I’m not necessarily happy about the disorganised way AI is happening, either. But find better arguments, and make specific proposals, people.
@susan77 I fully recognize that people do not like AI generated content. But can someone explain to me how the way an AI image generator is trained is different from how a human artist gets inspiration and learns?
“While he was on bail for #hacking Nvidia and BT/EE and in police protection at a Travelodge hotel, [the 18-year-old autistic Briton] continued hacking and carried out his most infamous hack. Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach #Rockstar, the company behind #GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone.”

Foto de la celebración del #solsticio de invierno esta mañana en #Zaragoza. Nunca había venido a ver el sol alineándose al milímetro con la que ahora se llama Calle Mayor, pero es algo que viene de los romanos, como todo en nuestra ciudad.
Es un acto que conmemora el nacimiento de Caesaraugusta, para la que proyectaron la sombras, hicieron cálculos e hicieron coincidir el sol en este día con las dos grandes avenidas de la ciudad romana, el cardo máximo y el decumano máximo.

The influence of “four #parenting dimensions (academic involvement, structure, cultural stimulation, and goals)” on “child personality #development” is “small”:
“We extended this #research by examining the long-term relations between four underexplored parenting dimensions and child #BigFive #personality traits using bivariate latent growth models in a large longitudinal dataset (N = 3,880). Results from growth models revealed a preponderance of null relations between these parenting measures and child personality, especially between changes in parenting and changes in child personality. In general, the observed associations between parenting and child Big Five personality were comparable in magnitude to the association between factors such as SES and birth order, and child personality—that is, small.”
Happy holidays!!
