I'm working with Dr Kat Day over on Bluesky who's putting together threads with interesting extra detail on the graphics – check out her thread for this graphic here: https://bsky.app/profile/chronicleflask.katday.com/post/3l25kzyi52m2w
A few years ago I was quite happy to see the number of games that started to run natively on Linux.
Today I don't see the amount of games that I expected to be made for it, which is disappointing for me.
You can't say a game is compatible with Linux only when Proton makes it work on it.
Just saying.
@moonrabbit 🤣 😂
It's an very old photo and was for an artificial super hero called Leszek I-don't-remember-What. I only remember that this person loved and saved beetles. 😂
Why is it that every single cat manages to have their own neurotic, strange, little personality that is nothing like any other cat?
I've met a lot of dogs, and they can be different and have personalities, but there is much less... diversity.
Monotonic Representation of Numeric Properties in Language Models
https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.10381
This paper reports that there is a low-dim subspaces that encode numeric properties monotonically, which can be used to "edit" the LLMs' response by increasing or decreasing in the numeric dimension.
Car parks with space for 80 cars or more are now required by law to be covered with solar panels.
- Parks between 80-400 spaces have 5 years to comply
- Parks with spaces of 400+ have 3 years to comply
This will result in about 11 gigawatts of power.
This should be required everywhere!
@peterdutoit@mastodon.green Nice! 😁 What do they do with the electricity? Or is that up to the owner?
Here is a car park in Pretoria, South Africa. This is really a no brainer.
In this week’s episode of #WTFrance, I got to explain why a caramel custard desert is relevant to who might become prime minister, and that’s really the only fun part of this mess that is French politics: https://wtfrance.podbean.com/e/flanby-to-the-people-august-17-2024/
My cat is trying to get me to chase her so she is howling at me from the bathtub because she thinks she's not allowed in the bathtub. She is though, and thats totally a rule she made up for herself, but I am playing my part and chasing her out of the bathtub for different reasons (because it is cute when she is all sprinting around). So now she effectively is banned from the bathtub and I am just like "this is how ideology works"
@jonny@neuromatch.social My cat @hermione@pixelfed.fr also likes when I chase her. Usually I start dashing at her in the living room, and she runs at full speed towards the bedroom where she hides under the bed.
She also likes to get into the (empty) bathtub when I’m in the bathroom, and I never thought about it, but it may well be that she wants me to chase her too when she does that. I’ll give it a try next time, thanks for the idea!
What the fuck is this?
It's getting really difficult to justify using Patreon to begin a creative endeavor, given how often they seem to pull the rug out from under their creators.
I wonder what a fedi version of Patreon would look like... a custom rollout of @bonfire that included per-account integration with Stripe's billing service? Maybe the in-development Bonfire Cooperation would be a good starting point...
die Worte "Vaterland, Deutschland, Glauben der Väter u. s. w." elektrisiren die unklaren Volksmassen noch immer weit sicherer als die Worte: "Menschheit, Weltbürgerthum Vernunft der Söhne, Wahrheit ...!"
Das ist von 1840.
Und immer noch wahr.
Logisch. Was genau hat sich seit 1840 denn in diesem Bereich getan für die Mehrheitsgesellschaft?
Die "unklaren Volksmassen" sind jedenfalls seither eher gewachsen als geschrumpft.
When I stopped being active at Twitter, I had more than 45,000 followers and a moderate amount of engagement (replies, retweets, etc.).
I have a third fewer followers here, and at least 10 times the genuine engagement. Sure, some bots, but most of it is genuine -- and useful.
I no longer see what (some) people I respect are saying publicly. I miss their thoughts, and wish they'd recognize that by staying active there they are supporting a dangerous extremist.
They feel trapped. They're not.
At this point, when I see someone's byline or bio mention a presence on Twitter/X, it downgrades that person’s credibility to critical levels. It screams “my craving for attention outweighs my sense of ethics.” Not the strongest platform for one’s credibility!
Hey there 👋
If you have any questions about how to use Mastodon or the rest of the Fediverse, it is totally fine to ask! I'm an actual human being here, and I'll try to help answer any questions if I can!
I didn't set up this account to be one-directional or mass audience, it's meant to be about helping people directly. 🙂
