I think he still has majority voting power in Facebook

They explain where the confusion comes from in the first two paragraphs.

Different wavelengths of light do affect some biological processes, and circadian rhythms are affected by light. From what I understand, there is some consensus that the brightness of the light source can affect sleep. There is no consensus on whether some wavelengths of light are better than others, but it was a reasonable thing to explore.

At the same time, they became a lot more palatable to the rest of the world and companies that want to avoid bad press / boycotts

We are reinforcing our editorial standards following this incident.

It sounds like they will be reminding their team not to do that and scrutinizing articles in the near future

Volvo’s new central computing system, HuginCore (named after a bird in Norse mythology), runs the EX60 with more than 250 trillion operations per second. It has been developed in-house, together with its partners Google, Nvidia, and Qualcomm.

“With the HuginCore system we can collect a lot of data and make decisions in the car instantly and combine that with the belt’s ability to choose different load levels,” says Åsa Haglund, head of the Volvo Cars Safety Center. “A box of possibilities opens up where you can detect what type of crash it is and who is in the car and choose a more optimal belt force.”

The articles I’ve seen say that it was for the past 10 years of work, some amount of which was unpaid

With the revamp, Mastodon has the potential to expand its business, product, and mission, without being dependent on a single person’s leadership. It will also give Rochko a break, as he’s been singularly focused on Mastodon for the past 10 years.

Going forward, Rochko will continue contributing to Mastodon as an adviser. He has also been compensated with a one-time payment of €1 million, given that he took less than a fair market salary over the years while building Mastodon.

I don’t have insight into the decision making process that went into deciding on that amount, maybe it’s less than what he should have been compensated for, maybe it’s more. But it sounds like they reached that decision amicably

This reminds me of the “WHY IS THERE CODE??? MAKE A FUCKING .EXE FILE AND GIVE IT TO ME” post that blew up a while back

And both boil down to

• guides can be prioritized more in some projects and it might be in the best interest of the creators to do that

• different guides are written for different audiences, sometimes a guide isn’t meant for the average person

The AI tool that I saw on there was to give users advice on “how to make your profile better”. The tips were generic garbage, so maybe after they train the AI on member profiles, the tips can be even more generic garbage.

There are some other projects in this space already, with varying levels of open source / selfhostability / features

An excerpt

Jen asked:

There’s a lot of secure software, that probably people in this room work on, that is developed in the open, and that is used primarily by at-risk users, including things like Tor, Signal, SecureDrop. That’s great, because it makes it easy for folks to contribute. Maybe you don’t want that, I understand that can be hard. But it also makes it easier for people to audit and gain assurance that the app is doing what you claim without having to have, you know, EFF reverse engineer it. Would you be open to making the app open source?

His answer: “Absolutely not.”

Why? “I don’t want anybody from the government to have their hooks in how I’m doing what I’m doing. Once you go open source, everybody has access to it. So I’m just going to keep the codebase private at this time.”

He also claimed that the government can’t learn everything about how an app works by reverse engineering it, which isn’t true.

I agree with Jen. His answers are very concerning.

Also brick walls don’t really go through iterative changes, which is an important issue with tech debt.

If the wall works, then it works

A software project will work now, but may not hold up when you need to change something

They do make it possible to adjust the ratings on your own account for the ones you disagree on. It doesn’t affect the newsletters, but I find those to be too american-specific anyway

It depends on how you want to sync. If you’re selfhosting freshrss for example, my personal preference is Capy RSS

That’s helpful, thank you! 😄

I had been opening it in incognito to get around it, but even then it seemed to fail sometimes. I’ll tell people to try this next time

Unfortunately large institutions have been spending millions to transition TO 365 the past few years. Education and healthcare are the ones I’m aware of

That’s an actual problem with some of them. It chunks up the prompt and assigns weights to different parts, and doesn’t understand the original intent

Saying “No food on the plate” might have it decide “plate + food + no”

Compared to saying “empty plate” for example

In one of the most popular presentations at 37C3, the three hackers uncovered something monstrous: Newag trains went into hibernation using a sophisticated game of hide-and-seek if they were parked for too long within the geocoordinates of competitors‘ or customers’ workshops or were left in conditions that indicated they underwent an unregistered repair. Only by calling in a Newag technician could such deactivated trains be ‘rescued’. All of this was uncovered without the potentially illegal replacement of train components which would require certifications.

What.

Streisand Effect in 3, 2, 1…

The developer and the project have profiles in Mastodon, it should be possible to tag the accounts in this thread directly

Neat! Looking forward to trying out the new changes.

By the way, you can use one account to post to all the communities. For example, if you wanted to use your lemmy.world account, the links would be something like the following:

• https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
• https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

Some guides here:

• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-open-in-my-instance

You could also keep using multiple accounts, but I find that to be more tedious.
