“Look, America is founded on free enterprise and capitalism,” said Bill Essayli, the first assistant United States attorney for the central district of California, during the press conference. “Anyone who attacks our values, our way of life, our system, which provides the best goods and services to the most people, we’re gonna come after aggressively.”

What a thing to say.

"Liable" means they might post a correction later that nobody will see because corrections aren't sexy to algorithms. Big deal. LLM vendors are liable in practically the same way.

You're using AI to turn research papers you don't understand into science education videos you also don't understand? What fresh kind of hell.

I actually watched the video and it was surprisingly good, but you might want to tell the AI to give more consideration to the broader context of the field next time, because studies don't exist in a vacuum. For all we know this paper could be the logical next step in the field (which would lend it credibility) or it could go firmly against well established theory (which would make it an extraordinary claim that needs extraordinary proof).

Mental retardation hasn't been a widely recognized medical condition for at least 30 years. They started scrubbing the term out of diagnostic criteria in the 90s and I think the last one to use it was officially retired in the 00s.

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 4 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Yeah back in the 90s it was still in use in some diagnostic criteria, even though it was already considered dated then. These days I don't think it's used in a medical capacity anywhere anymore.

I don't think it's solely a you problem as many people do consider the term too offensive to use, but it is one of those words the jury is divided on, with just as many people using it nonchalantly. I expect over time it'll be no different from moron or idiot.

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 5 points 5 days ago

My thoughts exactly.

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 19 points 5 days ago (12 children)

I don't understand how people think it's such a big deal anyway. I mean, it's functionally the same thing as calling someone a moron or an idiot or an imbecile, yet I don't know anyone who has any problem with those words. All are obsolete medical terms for intellectually disabled people, used in modern parlance to insult someone's intellect.

Unless you live in Australia the ozone layer is not a problem. If you do live in Australia, my condolences.

Minua on aina ärsyttänyt lähes kesäajan vertaisesti se, että Suomessa seurataan EET-aikavyöhykettä Keski-Euroopan CET-vyöhykkeen sijaan. Läntisessä Suomessa, jossa valtaosa suomalaisista asuu, CET kun vastaa maantieteellistä sijaintiamme käytännössä yhtä hyvin, mutta olisi EU-yhteistyön kannalta paljon parempi. Toisaalta myöskään EET:stä ei meille ole mitään hyötyä nyt, kun Venäjän kanssa ei tulla pitkään aikaan tekemään yhteistyötä.

Tutkimustiedon valossa vaikuttaa myös siltä, että on terveyden kannalta parempi elää aikavyöhykkeen keskikohdan itä- kuin länsipuolella. Tällöin kellot ovat hieman Aurinkoa jäljessä, joka helpottaa illalla nukahtamista ja aamulla heräämistä (eli vaikutus on päinvastainen kuin kesäajalla).

Nyt kun kelloja taas käännettiin, innostuin tekemään aiheesta tällaisen ruohonjuuriaktivistisen tiedoteverkkosivun. Sivulla on karttoja, ytimekästä tietoa ja laskuri, joka näyttää eri kaupungeille paljonko kellon oikeasti niissä pitäisi olla.

 

Interesting video by Hank Green about all the ways coal is bad, addressing many of the false claims of the coal lobby.

 

(0) Read the official Microsoft support guide, because otherwise you will never succeed.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-GB/office/change-sharepoint-online-language-settings-0f6a477a-dcab-4462-9d0c-e3b53d138183

Note that the UIs in the following steps may be in a language that you do not speak, but the support guide will naturally refer to the English localization. If you need the localized names of the UI elements, the guide is available in multiple languages. Unfortunately this will change the language of the entire guide, which may make it difficult to understand the steps themselves.

(1) Click on your profile circle in the top right and then click on this link.

(2) On the new page that opens, click this button.

(3) In the modal pop-up, click this unassuming one-word link in the bottom left.

(The link translates to "You can add more profile information here.")

(4) On the new page that opens, click on the ellipsis button to show the hidden items of the horizontal navigation.

(5) Select "Language and region".

(6) Add your preferred language using the drop-down box and move it to the top of the list using the little arrows.

(7) IMPORTANT! Don't forget to scroll to the bottom and click on "Save all and close"!

(8) Click "OK" on this pop-up.

(9) You're done and will be navigated back to the page from step 2!

Hope you didn't want to change any other settings here.

Oh, and the page from step 2 will still be in the original language. Don't worry, the pop-up dialog assured us it will change soon. Word may also still be in the original language, but should change sooner than the page from step 2 (I am still waiting on that one).

A long and detailed YouTube video by Kyle Hill about how an outdated principle of "there is no safe level of ionizing radiation" still pervades nuclear and radiation policy in spite of continuously mounting scientific evidence to the contrary, contributing to unnecessarily great caution with things like medical imaging, and to negative public perception and panic regarding nuclear power.

The TL;DW is that there is a mountain of evidence that small doses of radiation are harmless due to the body's natural defenses and self-repair mechanisms, and in fact according to many studies small doses may in fact reduce the risk of cancer compared to baseline rather than increase it (a phenomenon known as hormesis).

 

Onko vika vaan minun päässä, kun aika monessa uutispostauksessa esim. suomi@sopuli.xyz:ssa ei näy uutisen otsikkoa? Jos avaa Sopulin kautta osoitteesta https://sopuli.xyz/c/suomi niin niissä näkyy. Kuva alla.

 

Tämä uuden UI:n viestieditori jokseenkin ärsyttävästi syö koneellani useita ctrl-pikanäppäimiä tekstiasettelua varten. Olen huomannut että esim. seuraavat tulevat syödyksi:

  • Ctrl-C tekee kursiivia
  • Ctrl-X tekee boldia
  • Ctrl-Shift-T luo linkin

Käytän Dvorak-näppäimistöasettelua ja huomasin, että Ctrl-C sijainniltaan vastaisi QWERTY-näppäimistöllä Ctrl-i:tä (italics) ja Ctrl-X Ctrl-B:tä (bold). Eli ilmeisesti nämä on vaan määritelty näppäimistösijaintien mukaan eikä sen mukaan, mikä merkki näppäimessä on.

En löytänyt mistään tapaa kytkeä näitä pois päältä. Olenko vain huono etsimään vai täytyykö asiasta mennä nillittämään editorin kehittäjälle? Mistä kehittäjä voisi löytyä?

 

Tässä ketjussa näkyy kolme kommenttia Supon kautta katsottuna: https://suppo.fi/post/16511?scrollToComments=true

Mutta Sopulin kautta katsottuna siellä näkyy viisi, ja lisäksi jostain syystä lukee että "8 comments": https://sopuli.xyz/post/725743?scrollToComments=true
