As I said, I only know of beehaw as well. No personal attacks, but also nowhere near 50-50 sentinment.

I do not visit worldnews. This description fits to both /r/europe and /r/de.

And regarding lemmy, maybe on other instances, but I’m only on beehaw.

It’s crazy. On reddit, it’s 90%

Let’s ignore how many people israel has killed, they need to kill more, and let’s also go ahead an label everyone who says "too much" a hamas supporter

Then you go here and it’s again 90%

Let’s not even call hamas terrorist, more like freedom-fighters with some friendly rape and friendly fire thrown in.

Which is why me and people like me don’t care much what our relatives use :D

I think the majority of us also don’t want to play tech support.

As someone with box mods: Huh, you know weird flutes.

There is no context and nothing specific, as the headline makes it seem.

Politico.eu got bought by Axel Springer, Germany’s Fox News, 2 years ago.

Do you have a link? That would actually be more interesting because it would mean they’d have had advanced knowledge. Which raises "how" and "who".

As was mentioned, these were very high shorts, implying a far higher confidence than mere rumors.

See, that's another "no", but then I read just as convincing "yes" posts, and I just don't care enough to make my own research, so I have Schrödinger's lightning network ;)

But any way, it would have to be mentioned in a serious sticker.

 

Referencing the Study Trading on Terror? which is freely downloadable.

Not even a mention of lightning? I have no idea if it works as I’ve been hearing both yes and no for several years, but writing such an article without mentioning what at least theoretically would be the solution just seems bad.

I know what you mean, but FWIW: You probably mean "move fast and break things". "Fail fast" is usually about not hiding/carrying with you potentially bad errors, and instead "fail fast" when you know there’s an issue. It’s an important tool for reliability.

An unrealistic example: Better to fail fast and not start the car at all when there’s abnormal voltage fluctuations, then explode while driving ;)

We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.

We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.

Seems like the person running the simulation had enough and loaded the earlier quicksave.

 

We had a thread about OpenAI Staff Threaten to Quit Unless Board Resigns, but I thought I might as well add it again. Especially because of this part:

Remarkably, the letter’s signees include Ilya Sutskever, the company’s chief scientist and a member of its board, who has been blamed for coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman in the first place.

Okay then. I think we are in a simulation, someone quick saved, and is now experimenting what the outcomes of random decisions are.

A minor piece of information was that OpenAI Approached Anthropic About Merger, and The Atlkantic has a slightly longer look and speculation what’s going on Inside the Chaos at OpenAI.

With Ilya’s recent turn around, there’s apparently also the option of Altman coming back Sam Altman is still trying to return as OpenAI CEO, something even MS would apparently be okay with, at least publically.

Business Analysis blog Stratechery posted some analysis on OpenAI’s Misalignment and Microsoft’s Gain.

Loving it, this is like SubredditDrama, but without having any actual chance of affecting me (I don’t believe in AGI coming out of LLMs), and on a global scale.

 

Well, this escalated quickly. So is this the end, or will the mods create an OpenAI megathread? ;)

Are they drunk over there?

Thought I'd share this, now that they released the DLC. Vagrus is probably not for the majority of people. It's a very dark, extremely text heavy, trading caravan sim with combat and RPG elements.

If you don't like reading, don't even think about playing it, there are several novels with of text in there, with amazing world building.

If this sounds interesting, you get an amazing indie game, that now got the first of 3 DLC (with two smaller, free dlcs already out).

2 1/2 weeks ago, I started going for short (25-40 minutes) daily morning runs. Right now the temperature is mostly 10C or higher, so I can just wear shorts and a t-shirt. One day it was below 8, felt a bit cold, and so I got a functional (=plastic) sport long sleeve. That works well, and I can even wear a t-shirt under it if it gets colder (tested it, currently too warm, but I'll probably do that for 6c and lower). Cleaning is easy, I just take it in the shower with me.

But now I'm worried about it getting colder, not running, getting out of the routine and not starting again.

What does one get for temperatures around 0 or slightly below, that's also cleanable and dryable for the next day, that preferably also doesn't break the bank?

Edit: just to clarify, mainly looking for pants, but will happily take top recommendations as well.

edit2: Just wanted to say thank you to everyone here :) I got a merino beanie and a running windbreaker with a neck-protection. I’ll get running tights if I start feeling the need for them.

 

Original article in German

While not clear from this article, the German one mentions

According to the team, the soldiers were probably settlers from the area who have now been called up as reservists. They were travelling in a private vehicle and were wearing civilian headgear.

 

Meta will introduce a pay or get tracked option.

 

During the revolt — known as the Maji Maji Rebellion — between 200,000 and 300,000 Indigenous people were murdered, as German troops systematically wiped out villages and fields, experts say.

Germany’s long-standing commitment to historical remembrance has centred around the atrocities it committed during World War II, specifically the slaughter of six million Jews and other minorities during the Holocaust.

While I had heard about the genocide in Namibia, I don’t think my history lessons (which mainly center around WWII and the surroundings, including the holocaust) ever mentioned such a slaughter in Tanzania. (edit: They were also 20 years ago, if you are German and younger, feel free to tell me if anything changed)

Wikipedia (German links are far more detailed if you speak it):

 

Thought this was interesting. Partially because of raised prices, but apparently mainly because of tax enforcement.

The shift follows the deployment of 1,400 paramilitary-trained field officers by the Kenya Revenue Authority
