[re: lvpol] But aren't all politics meh, Danko? Well, our parliamentary elections have been won by an entity literally named Merged List. Less literally you could pretend it's a "United Ballot" or something, but it's just a merged list. They threw some names together. From the little I know […]

@futurebird no reasonable person should leave important decisions to some entity of dubious motivations and superficial understanding of the world, that's for sure. Now a cat, I don't see why that wouldn't work in theory. We clearly need more data points.

Friendly reminder that you should under no circumstances give #PicaTheCat your credit card number and the pin on the back so she can "shop for you and save you time"

Question about SMTP greylisting: it's possible to return an error _after_ DATA, right? (or maybe that's already how it usually works, haven't checked) So here's a wild idea: ingest the message, lie to the sender that it wasn't, keep it in the junk folder (or "Incoming") until the exact same […]

If you have designed a computer program in such a way that there are no reliable mechanisms to prevent it from taking unwanted actions, the program is not “going rogue”, it is simply unsafe and poorly designed.

I don't want to talk about satellites and genAI (though I appreciate all the comments in my mentions. I just need a little break) I want to talk about goats and squash! Positive things I can directly affect! (Well, goats are you know, goats. So there are some limits to directly affecting them.)

A view looking down into the bed of a large pickup truck, completely full of squash. There is a bin of yellow and green gourds, multiple bins of acorn squash, a giant pile of spaghetti squash, semi-green baking pumpkins, white carving pumpkins, delicious warty pumpkins and big orange baking pumpkins.

Me, standing in the middle of a mostly-empty squash field, holding a very large pumpkin (maybe 30 lbs?). I'm wearing a sun hat and a black hoodie and looking very proud of this giant orange pumpkin in my arms. It's sunny and the sky is blue.

A whole bunch of goats happily eating weeds with a small lake and some trees in the background, with a bright blue sky above a pretty flat horizon.
