Hey @erinbiba.bsky.social please enjoy this woman’s collection of security envelopes HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking out her profile for an incredibly organized taxonomy and in-depth discussion of the finer points of pattern design.

Every "population crisis" article in western media is just "WHERE ARE THE WHITE BABIES" in disguise and we absolutely do not have to give any credence to any of them

Chaud c'est pas assez clair. #MonAvis 😅

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)

Case in point:

Every institution in Canada should be rethinking its relationship with big tech providers, if only for the reason of how quickly they cozied up to Trump. #cdnpoli

Le niveau de connarditude qu'il faut pour humilier les gens comme ça...

Really elucidates the New York Times "style" that we've seen in countless cases (particularly in the case of Mamdani and trans-related issues) where they try to hide their obvious bias behind a screen of both-sides-ism that ignores the fact that only one side really offers quality evidence.

fiscalité: va-t-on connaître un effet laffer? - Classe éco En ces temps de "remise à plat de la fiscalité" et de "révolte fiscale", l'effet Laffer est à la mode. "Trop d'impôt tue l'impôt", lit-on; dès lors, les hausses d'impôt gouvernementales risquent d'êtr...

"La réponse à toute question en sciences sociales est "ça dépend". Et toute la difficulté est d'identifier patiemment de quoi cela dépend. C'est un travail qui n'est guère compatible avec le besoin de slogans du débat public."

‘Opposing the inevitability of AI at universities is possible and necessary’ | Radboud University Since the widespread release of ChatGPT in December of 2022, AI has taken over much of the world by storm – including academia. Most of this happened with very little pushback, despite a myriad of iss...

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

"The advent of large language models have made this type of content relatively easy to churn out on demand, and the majority of the review articles we receive are little more than annotated bibliographies, with no substantial discussion of open research issues."

“Universities are not tech companies. Our role is to foster critical thinking, not to follow industry trends uncritically.”

I think this reply is so absurd it deserves a "LOL".

The paradox of tolerance has been described decades ago. I do not see a point in debating it again.

You can consider that not all things are black or white and still be able to see the difference between #EEEEEE and #111111 greys.

I know that recorded interviews and transcriptions alter the contents of the discussions, but I could see first hand how the "vibes" I got from notes in interviews for my MA were contradicted by the actual transcription. Having something more solid to rely upon and present as evidence isn't bad.

I think that the ethnographic work that anthropologists are doing is important, but I can't help noticing that it often seems to boil down to "vibes", and that hurts the discipline. Open data is a way to push back against that impression, and the strong opposition to it is counterproductive imho.

Also the logic doesn't apply to rap (music) -> Le rap. Dammit.

Anyway I will give fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grausam... a listen :D

"L'" is shorthand before a vowel for both Le or La depending on context but the gender remains "obvious". :D

Fun fact: I have actually heard people refer to trip hop as feminine, but never hip hop for some reason.

Anyway we (obviously) derive that
Dark wave -> feminine
Electro Body Music -> feminine
Techno (music) -> feminine
[Future] Pop (music) -> feminine
[Whatever] rock -> masculine

:D

I know it's weird to non-gendered languages but I can give some of the background logic here.
"Musique" (music) is a feminine word. So is "vague" (wave). "Roc" (literal translation of rock) is masculine. The only edge case in the list is trip hop, derived from the masculine-coded hip hop.

Wanted to talk about the fact that the ONLY form of communication/transparency the MAGA world seems to believe in is "trolling the libs." And why they're doing that. And why it's so stupid.
