re: LLM-meuk
@bananas For what it's worth, this is almost guaranteed to be the outcome of such a case in NL as well. The law is pretty clear that if a corporation chooses unreliable spokespeople, that's the corporation's problem.

@ktemkin ..and if we change the room number, it shows the checkin information for that room instead :p
LLM-meuk
Ligt het aan mij of is deze tekst (en vele andere productteksten op de Gamma-site) gegenereerd met een LLM? https://www.gamma.nl/assortiment/suki-masker-voor-filters/p/B113252

“Ik weet het niet. Het is een soort guilty pleasure. Alleen hoef je je er niet schuldig over te voelen en dat het nou een pleasure is kan ik ook niet echt zeggen.”
Oh, also:
- Put together and installed two desks, for the other creatures in this house
Home improvement update log, since last post:
- Put together and installed several cabinets (finally! storage!)
- Installed a fake plant for decoration (helpfully, those don't die)
- Replaced the shower head pin with one that isn't decaying and half hanging out of the wall (this required dealing with expired wall filler)
- Replaced the vibration dampening for my air conditioner with washing machine dampeners, which turns out to work much better than my previous homebrew styrofoam solution
I've seen a lot of odd choices in GDPR implementation, but "the privacy policy is a Vimeo-hosted video" is a new one to me

Last week ago I saw someone use e14n instead of enshittification and thought it was the funniest thing ever, a way to somehow make the term even shittier.

#Covid’s going nuts again. Time to bring my #Aranet4 indoor air quality posts back. I’m in Monterey to photograph 4th of July festivities. I’ve been in 2 restaurants today, both with CO2 readings of below 600.
This one is a small Japanese cafe that’s almost filled to capacity. With 24 people in this smallish space, the CO2 reading is 540. I was standing for 5 minutes deep in the restaurant when the reading was recorded.
Just one door and a commercial kitchen hood can refresh the air at an amazing pace. This place had 2 cross vented doors and a hood.
Most *casual* restaurants I’ve measured have far better air quality when semi-full than a typical office. If you choose a crowded house party over a restaurant during a Covid wave, you may be choosing the higher risk.
Most people will choose to take risks, including most people reading this. Learn to choose the less risky option.
For reference, the outdoor CO2 on this day reads at 450. 540 in a small crowded cafe is very good considering.

Deze bus gaat naar Nieuwegein City. Voor mij heeft dat dezelfde vibe als Boerenkoolstronkeradeel Grand Central Station

My #Mastodon bookmarks (and previously twitter) are like a black hole that sucks in everything but will never show it again. Because there’s no sensible way to find anything ever again. For my own use, I created a small web app based on #streamlit that allows me to search and explore my bookmarks. It’s actually proven quite useful already, and now I decided to share the code as is in case anyone else wants to try it. https://github.com/frederik-elwert/mastodon-bookmark-search/
@bananas I genuinely do not understand how they got this wrong. They have an entire browser engine in there for deity's sake, how did they not figure out an event loop solution here?
kleine correctie
@SandraDeHaan Wel belangrijk om op te merken dat ChatGPT niet van Google is en naar mijn weten ook niet in Google-datacenters draait, dus de stijging van Google-datacenters staat daar los van (hoewel het dan wel weer gerelateerd kan zijn aan de ChatGPT-concurrent van Google, Bard of hoe het deze week ook weer heet - die zal vergelijkbaar energieslurpend zijn, want dezelfde techniek).
Doet niets af aan de conclusie, want die klopt, maar is wel belangrijk om geen directe verbinding tussen die twee specifieke namen te insinueren, want de AI-hypers gebruiken dat soort onnauwkeurigheden maar al te graag om kritiek in z'n geheel in diskrediet te brengen...
I would hate Thunderbird a lot less if it didn't constantly freeze mid-typing because of some internal operation in a mailbox somewhere, because apparently it cannot afford more than one thread?

question about plurality, Boosts appreciated <3
So, here's a weird hypothetical question.
If I was plural, how would I know? And is it possible to be pkural just as... aspects of myself, identities, but not necessarily separate identities within me?
I... have some curiosity about some things about myself, both now and in the past. I have no need to conclude one way or another, but asking the questions seems fun and at any rate, I'll end up understanding myself better in the end. I see no downside.

Subtooting half of fedi, Disability Pride Month
Disability Pride Month is the perfect time to review whether your post revolution utopias actually involve us or not, and if they do, whether it's to our detriment

Finally got around to adding modifier/filtering support to relations in dlayer-knex, and pretty happy with how my database queries are starting to look now

Let's see if I can say this gently, so that nobody will get their knickers in a knot:
Hey anybody working in cybersecurity, wannabe-peer and queer American dude speaking!
Cops are an APT.
Republicans are an APT.
The cop in your heart is an APT.
Who are you really working for?
What are you securing?
Why?
