“The true purpose of these features is to attempt to shift the burden of privacy from the company to the consumer — and then from the consumer to the average person who happens to be nearby.”

Back in the day the Talkbass forum constantly had ads for bass-fishing and boat fenders for some reason.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?
The reactions of some researchers on Twitter finally being held responsible for not having read the very paper they submitted are... something. Mainly, they don't think they should have to check every citation or make sure the data is real and accurate. Because it's too hard, I guess.

Ne on nykyään mittari sille kuinka paljon työntekijä saa aikaan, ainakin joissain softafirmoissa.

Look, before you mock people for having their database deleted in 9 seconds by Claude, you should know that deleting a database that thoroughly used to take up to 90 minutes.

Oikeusvaltiota murennetaan ja ihmisiä asetetaan varallisuuden mukaan täysin eri asemaan lain edessä. Köyhällä (eikä edes keskituloisella) olisi tämän jälkeen varaa puolustaa itseään, koska maksettavaksi jäisi syyttömänäkin helposti kymmeniä tuhansia. Käsittämätön ehdotus! www.hs.fi/paakirjoituk...

Pääkirjoitus | Oikeusministeriön hanke on pysäytettävä alkuunsa
Oikeusministeriö on valmistellut lakiluonnosta, joka rajoittaisi syytteestä vapautetulle oikeudenkäyntikuluista maksettavia korvauksia.

Myyttisessä menneisyydessä kun kaikki oli paremmin, mutta samalla myös 100-kertaa vaikeampaa kuin nykynuorilla, juotiin piimää.

Eikös tämän pitäisi johtaa siihen että juristit ovat valmiita työskentelemään halvemmalla minkä myötä lakiapu ja oikeudenkäyntikulut laskevat (tällaisella superpalikkalogiikalla). Eli kaikki muut voittavat paitsi juristit.

This album is the most 90’s sounding album imaginable.

Got just got 6+ and counting copyright violations for playing part of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier on a corny synthesizer during a YouTube stream. If you or I knowingly and falsely DMCA'd Tencent or Merlin, we'd literally be sent to prison for fraud.

Tech bros don’t want to save the world. They want to own it, brand it, license it, and charge you a monthly fee to visit.

Quickly producing demos is still quite far from actual development work.

I rarely listen to drum and bass otherwise, but for me it's the best choice for getting into the flow when programming.

Why does everyone get so excited about performance on some benchmarks when we don't know what the training data is? How do you know that they're not testing on the training set? How do you reject papers that don't tell you the splits but get so excited by these PR announcements?

Hi Meiju, I’m a computer scientist from Helsinki, and I too am often frustrated with algorithms, mainly the ones I’m trying to develop.
