Ik ben niet langer geïnteresseerd in de vraag hoe we aan het fascisme komen.

I would be about 75% less opposed to AI if it weren't under the control of a small group of fascist billionaires who believe they are entitled to rule over us and who have been de facto exempted from obeying the law.

Its true and I should do this more
If people are posting less, or fewer are posting, try following more people to fill your timeline up. It's highly unlikely that you already followed all the people you will like. Repost more. Recommend people to others more. Also over follow as this helps others find their people.

From looking at my wife's work as teacher, getting people to do the work is the core skill of the job. Every other aspect is somehow related to that.

I know it is classified up the ass so we will never know, but I want to know how L3Harris was, with just $1B or so, able to make a 747 into a VC-45 in about a year when Boeing is taking how long to do the job? Was it just "drop all the features" or is it "Boeing is incompetent and milking it"?

De langverwachte Noord-Koreaanse grondwetswijziging is doorgevoerd. En deze is ingrijpend. Dit zijn de belangrijkste wijzigingen:
1. NK geeft ambitie hereniging met ZK helemaal op.
2. grondgebied NK wordt gedefinieerd (met enige uitzonderingen) als huidig grondgebied

People can be extremely skeptical of images that do not match their expectations and worldviews, while at the same time abandoning all skepticism when images confirm their preconceived ideas. The problem may therefore lie less in disinformation and more in the erosion of a shared reality

There is a simple reason why China is in the stronger position compared to the US in this trade war: It is much easier to create demand domestically in the short run than it is to rebuild the workshop of the world.

Ever used #Photoshop or #GIMP to make a #photograph look #sharp? Or wondered why the best #filter to do this is called #Unsharp Mask? Maybe you want to read my new article in #Transbordeur! (Also feat. @bildoperationen.bsky.social and more.) A big "Thank you" to the editors of this wonderful issue!
Sharp Images and Unsharp Masks
Sharpening photographs is a routine operation in digital image processing, whether performed on a smartphone using an app like Instagram (fig. 1) or on a desktop computer with professional software...

As thinking at work about simple regulations vs flexible ones. I had a project where we spent a fortune to meet a fairly arbitrary emission number. An almost identical machine was just below the limit, so nothing was needed.
This felt wasteful, suboptimal, a problem caused by overly sinple rules.
