favorite new word i learned today: epistemic injustice
injustice resulting from the lack of language to articulate the problem
in the early 1950s, sexual harassment didn't exist as a word or concept. by the 1960s, it was becoming a phenomenon that people understood and recognized the injustice of. everyone who experiences sexual harassment but is unable to conceptually articulate their situation, or who face a justice system unable to comprehend the situation, experiences epistemic injustice (on top of the injust act per se)

Schaut in die Geschichte, schaut hin in die Details!
Wie wurden den Reichen und Mächtigen wirklich wichtige Rechte und Privilegien abgerungen? Praktisch nie vollkommen gewaltfrei.
Schaut in die Welt, schaut hin in die Details!
Wie werden Diktaturen und andere repressive Systeme überwunden? Praktisch nie vollkommen gewaltfrei.
Wisst ihr warum sie brüllende Frauen, BiPoc, LGBTQIA und andere Unterdrückte nonstop Tone-policen?
WEIL WIR IHNEN STILL UND RUHIG KEINE FUCKING ANGST MACHEN!
ALSO LASST UNS GOTTVERDAMMTNOCHMAL LAUTER WERDEN!!!

It is also the first known creative work with an explicit public domain dedication, as its colophon at the end states that it was created "for universal free distribution".

It may be a good idea to have something available next to Signal that does not depend on (any) US infrastructure purely for availability reasons, I don't question the security of Signal itself.
I really want to like Threema, but their treatment of security researchers does NOT look good... Any idea whether this has improved in recent year(s)?

Rather distilled models yes, but the hardware commitment for the "real" ones is still quite pricey.

"Common sense" is what you invoke when you cannot support your beliefs with either "real arguments" or "real data."
Common sense is the noise that comes out of you when all you've got is the vague sense that you must be right--somehow?--but even *you* don't know why you think that.
Common sense is a slogan for shutting down arguments without having to know or prove anything.
#bullshit #stupidity #apocalypse2025 #uspol #reasoning #reason #trump #conservatives #politics #fallacy #cognitivebias
on the other hand yours can be said to be an argument of the privileged academic, who through vocation and witty sarcasm, tries to defang any common sense upfront.
Common sense is simply knowing what has been proven before.
Common sense is quite handy imho for the everyday person, who does not want to delve into DOI to back up every word in a conversation :)
And common sense is ethereal. It is not in the eye of the beholder, that is opinion, bias, dogma, myopia, ideology, etc.
I'd argue that most people do believe that common sense refers to that which has been "proven before" but it doesn't. It's usually just a term for the mishmash of ideas that most of us carry around in our heads, some of which is true and much of which isn't. It's usually a thought stopping cliche.
Maybe you are privileged enough to live in a world where people only assert true statements, but I constantly hear people call all sorts of falsehoods common sense.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"The true impact of DeepSeek is not on the technology but on the economics of AI. It is a chatbot as capable, and as flawed, as other current leading models, but built at a fraction of the cost and from inferior technology."
"It has ripped off the veil of mystique that previously surrounded AI. Silicon Valley has nurtured the image of AI tech as a precious and miraculous accomplishment, and portrayed its leading figures as prophets guiding us into a new world."

Ich lese gerade auf Instagram von mehreren Autor*innen, dass ihnen offenbar nahegelegt wurde, sich nicht politisch zu äußern. Bücher seien ja unpolitisch. Aber das ist eine grundlegend falsche Annahme.
Zu diesem Thema habe ich kürzlich einen Blogbeitrag geschrieben: "Schreiben ist politisch" (Lesezeit: ca. 2 Minuten):
