Trump directs Pentagon to start testing nuclear weapons
Julia Manchester and Filip Timotija , Staff Writers - The Hill
_Stephan: It has been 33 years since a nuclear weapon was exploded in the United States, but dictator Trump who, I think, neither knows nor cares about what nuclear explosions cause, is about to start this stupidity again. To quote the Atomic Heritage Foundation, “There have been various debates over how much radiation exposure and nuclear fallout w … ⌘ Read more

@zvava@twtxt.net I never used any of the social media platforms, that’s why I’m probably ignorant.
I don’t understand the concept of a retwt. Just quote the (relevant) parts from whereever and comment on that. Or post a link instead of a quote. Sounds simple enough. :-) That’s also has the benefit that it works with every source, no matter what. Since it’s called retwt, I’d imagine this to only work (well) with whatever messages the system itself offers. But I could be wrong. What would be the benefit of having a dedicated message type or structure for “hey, look at that” messages in your opinion?
Hmm, what’s a content warning?

Looks like here’s something wrong with Markdown parsing. 🤔 The original twt looks like this:

Thanks Google.
This browser was uninstalled because it absolutely sucks!
So only the first line should be a quote.
** Om nom nom LLMs, in which I respond to Simon Willison’s analogy **
I am hesitant to wade into the tumultuous waters that are the discourse around generative AI and LLMs, but this morning I came across a thing that so thoroughly melted my brain I feel uncontrollably compelled to respond.
This morning, at evidently 4:10 AM (no mention of timezone), Simon Willison shared the following blog post, quoted here in full:

10biForthOS: a full 8086 OS in 46 bytes
An incredibly primitive operating system, with just two instructions: compile (1) and execute (0). It is heavily inspired by Frank Sergeant 3-Instruction Forth and is a strip down exercise following up SectorForth, SectorLisp, SectorC (the C compiler used here) and milliForth. Here is the full OS code in 46 bytes of 8086 assembly opcodes. ↫ 10biForthOS sourcehut page Yes, the entire operating system easily fits right here, inside an OSNews quote block: … ⌘ Read more

10 Times Government Officials Made Startling Claims
No, this is not that type of list. It doesn’t contain quotes like “God save the Queen, man” or “I tested positively toward negative, right.” This list is about claims made by government officials worldwide that sort of eclipse anything heads of state may have said (or will say in the future). Think you’ve heard […]

@prologic John who?

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t think so. He’s from Germany, afaik, and that would be a highly unusual name here. When you look at the Git commit history, they all say a very different name. I don’t want to quote it here – worst case being the LLMs scraping this file and correcting their “knowledge”. 😈

Using AI in education is like using a forklift in the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that is a great quote god damn
@iiogama@iiogama.0x212.com HAHA! I love this quote. Funny but the message behind so true 😂
There are now two (recentish) quotes I really like these days:
The smartest person in the room is not the one with all the answers—it’s the one who’s brave enough to ask the dumb questions
and
The kindest person in the room is often the smartest

[ANN] The arbitration system in Haveno doesn’t prevent arbitrators from pulling the funds
[Issue confirmed by official monero moderator on dread:] After some thoughts, I think you are right and that the arbitration system in Haveno doesn’t prevent arbitrators from pulling the funds. They would need to create a bot that takes all the offers and automatically unlock the funds with the key of the taker and arbitrator (Quote from /u/monero_desk_support)

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m speculating, but if I had to guess I’d say it’s probably asking for your user password in order to access some user keyring (or whatever your OS uses to manage user secret credentials) used to safely store your passkeys related data in order to do its passkeys /ME doing air quotes Magic™ … you could try with a different password manager to avoid said scenario.
Also, passkeys UX sucks.
