I honestly don't know how anyone can watch a pride parade and think "You bunch of degenerates" unless they have a massive, and I mean truly epic, stick up their ass.
Als Antwort auf Faith, purple-haired feminist

I wish I had any hope whatsoever that people who believe something (incorrectly) were persuadable by facts, but the last decade or so has shown us that is simply not the case. They would just go into the situation looking for things to confirm what they already believe.

@sophiesometimes A summary of the sad truth I read some time ago was: "You can't convince people with facts that they are wrong, if they didn't get their opinions based on facts."

Linda reviews "The Ever End" by Audrey Wilson:

"It has been a year since Margo’s mother died, and six months since she met and became engaged to Sam Wailing. Now they are on their way to Iowa to meet his family... Secrets, lies, surprises and a future life that will not be a happy one. The ending is worth the price of admission. 4 stars."

As others have said, he is only interested in what Republicans think. Anyone else is of no interest.

Which makes me think that he is planning some serious gerrymandering/depriving people of the vote if they don't vote for him.

Fascist scum.

The indentations on the Tanmatsu mean it sits really nicely in your hand, and even has a place for your pinkies to go which is a nice touch, and the keyboard keys stand more proud of the front plate so they are easier to type on. On the flipside, be interesting to see how the WHY badge feels once it has an enclosure. Hopefully it can become a tool I can keep using for things, as I don’t like how the badges easily become waste afterwards, and this one has potential to do more once hacking happens

The very definition of authoritarianism means that there are more of us than there are of them. While MAGA tries to concentrate power in the hands of one man, we’re reminding every American of their own power to enact change.

There’s “good genes” and then there’s “good genes”. By which I mean there’s a world of difference between “we should work on CRISPR type genetic patches for things like genetic predisposition to certain cancers” on one side and “everyone who isn’t a blue eyed blonde is inferior” on the other.

Made progress on getting the broken Roland SoundCanvas SC-55mkII that I got for cheap on eBay to work! I was fairly sure a clock signal (or rather the absence of one) was the culprit, and after poking around the board tracing clock signals I found a spot where one abruptly stopped.

Turns out a 40MHz low-pass filter was missing entirely from the board! After bodging it with a wire (since it’s just a filter, so the worst that happens is noise causes occasional problems), the unit came up! 🎉 But the display has issues. Half of it is dead, and the first letter of the instrument name is garbled. This appears unrelated to the first problem, and suggests an issue with the display board itself; all lines going to the display look good.

Given that another filter on the board was already bodge-wired, and a 455MHz crystal (only needed for the remote) was cut out, *and* given this display problem, I think this may have been a parts unit for someone.

weird how the tech bros never talk about consciousness (a real thing that both you and i are experiencing) but only ever about intelligence (a bogus concept rooted in "race science")
Als Antwort auf miss ana vee

I've gone on a few ranting threads over the past few years about how I believe that the entire concept of "artificial intelligence" is essentially a category error. Basically, it's the idea that "intelligence" is a property of a living creature in the context of survival. The only way to make truly "artificial" intelligence is to build a machine that's in some sense alive and embodied. The "intelligence" seen in LLMs is just the shadow of human intelligence.
Als Antwort auf Mallory's Musings & Mischief

An obvious way to demonstrate this is to ask what an LLM would do if all of us humans disappeared. The answer: absolutely nothing. It's not any more "intelligent" than a rock. The E. Coli in my gut have more intelligence.

Als Antwort auf Charles ☭ says smash the patriarchy

So my whole vegan thing - I try to both be logically consistent and consider harms.

I eat honey because I also eat fruit and nuts which rely on commercial polinisation that use techniques far more traumatic to bees than nicking their honey. (Also, fuck those bastards for not watching where they're going and then stinging me when they fly into me.)

I also do wear animal fibres and sometimes leather because it's less harmful ecologically than plastic. My leather shoes have been re-soled 4 or 5 times. They will outlive me. I have a leather bike seat which ought to outlast a plastic one, emit less carbon, and poison far fewer fish. There are legitimate uses of leather where its durability makes it the best choice.

Indeed,not everyone can thrive on a plant based diet. I know somebody allergic to gluten, sworn and soy. It would be absurd to demand they go vegan.

So are leather shorts better than hemp shorts? Probably not, to be honest. Sometimes I also do bad things for fashion.

If I could make a living writing, I would switch in a heartbeat. That'd be a significant career change for me, though. Professionally I've only ever done tech-related R&D and advising, computer science teaching, and software development.
