Well of course! When you get new machines the planar orientator has to be set to equator (or wherever you are) settings.

They tested it at the machine factory in Europe or wherever, everything worked fine there and they didn’t bother to run a test after.

Rookie mistake if you ask me.

so, if Australian tissues are upside down. I suppose these were manufactured somewhere on the equator.

Ok, that’s *bad* bad. What’s the reaction to this ? Are there any outrage ?

I would hope it would hurt the government a little... wouldn’t it ?

They’ve never step foot in the real world, period. I could name dozens of critical problems for each of these entries.

Why are people so triggered by the Mexican flag at the LA protests? | Daniel Peña The flag serves as a reminder of a fundamental truth about Mexican Americans: we are from here; we are also from there

404 Media @ Rip Space hang out stream YouTube video by 404 Media

An incredibly important bit by @dexdigi.bsky.social on the @404media.co hang out:

(about the LA protests) "How do you tell people `watch out for surveillance` when the entire point is [to be seen and tell everyone `we belong here`] ?"

wait... can it be... good ? I refused to even consider this movie existed but... is it ?

With this amount of time and money, IA should have already cured cancer and figured out time travel.

Turns out it still fails at basic math and getting data without introducing random errors

It’s never too late to face evidence: it sucks. And forever will.

chart: capital expenditures, quarterly shows hockey-stick like growth in the capex expenditures of Amazon, Microsoft, Google and meta, almost entirely on data centers in the most recent quarter it was nearly $100 billion, collectively

The AI infrastructure build-out is so gigantic that in the past 6 months, it contributed more to the growth of the U.S. economy than /all of consumer spending/

The 'magnificent 7' spent more than $100 billion on data centers and the like in the past three months *alone*

They never learn, do they ?

Salon drama ? Huh.

As a white dude, the one thing I know about black salons is that they are full from dawn to dusk of people who are only occasionally braiding hair but always talking and laughing about anything and everything.

Tech people can’t comprehend people enjoy being with other people.

"Amiante numérique". C’est tellement parfait.

I was looking for exactly that. Thank you.

I’ll just chime in with this www.apbp.fr

“Artist-painters with mouth and feet" so I call BS on disability preventing people from doing art (check it out it’s really amazing)

Especially given the circumstances of his death. It was one of this celebrity death that made everyone think about mental health, about how public personas can be deceiving and a bunch of other things.

That said, let them try. The outrage would be huge.

The system couldn’t differentiate dirt from damage because both appeared as the exact same blob of pixels. I quit within a month because it was obvious the project was doomed.

Yet because the CEO had daddy’s money and public subsidies they were able to keep going to this day with zero success.

Ha ! I worked for a company doing exactly that ! It turned out to be a disaster too. That’s where I learned what AI was really about, seeing colleagues outlining the same scratch on literally hundreds of photos (all underpaid women, while devs and management were all overpaid men)

A short video about neo-Nazi dress codes in Berlin, which I recorded after yesterday’s protest against Israel’s mass starvation of Palestinians. The most distinctive ones at the moment are Yakuza, Thor Steinar, Lyle and Scott, and Ellesse, but there are others.

An unbearably sad statement from the Editorial Committee (SDJ) of the AFP news agency, please read:

It’s absolutely dystopian...

How is Barbie having diabetes a good news ???

Hope she lives in a country with free insulin

what a terrible joke.

And l’m 100% here for it.

Donc non, je ne
Pense pas qu’il y ait le moindre machiavélisme, juste de la pure idéologie d’extrême droite à l’œuvre

Je ne crois pas que ces gens pensent qu’il y a quoi que ce soit qui ait contribué à leur fortune, autre qu’eux même. Et la haine de la science et de la recherche et extrêmement répandue chez les tech bros. Ça va à l’encore de leurs fantasmes de technologies magiques et de génies innés

a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes'

holly shit... I’m so sorry. This is despicable.

J’ai entendu un abrutis de CNews répéter la fake news du coup je découvre ça.

En réalité c’est encore plus ancien. Alain Quillien c’est 1910, mais le terme est attesté dès 1877 en anglais. Il est calqué sur "judéophobie" et a probablement été utilisé de manière spontané dans de nombreux contextes.
