Not anymore. (1/3)

#Brand safety.

The text in French reads: As we wait for the #climate emergency to be treated as an emergency, who’s looking after the kids?

And yes — there’s a reason #Champagne glasses have those long stems. A reliable IQ-and-culture indicator bleeding through this page.

Just finished walking through Kathryn Bigelow’s “A House of Dynamite”. The film is about a missed ICBM atta… erm… Let’s call it “fly through” over Canada and into the USA. (1/60)

The year is 2025.

«А потом наступит #день, дееень
Каждый скажет: То, что было — не помню.
И пойдёте вы под пастушью свирель
Дружным стадом… на бойню.
#Бог терпел и вам велел, так терпи!»

Пока сложилось впечатление, что особенно русофонные #Threads — какая-то справочная на площади Ленина, где ждут ответов на все вопросы от незнакомых прохожих.

Кто-то даже уверяет, что «я загуглю, но от живых людей всегда узнаю более интересную информацию.»

What survives is mostly biology, not policy.

Now, this is a first! I got blocked on #Meta’s Threads by a Russian “ #Sports Medicine #Doctor” for posting links to scientific #research papers after she stated that “recovery #runs are a myth”: www.threads.com/@dr_labzova/...

A 5-year-old boy dies in a car after his mom “forgot” to “drop” him at daycare in the #US.

9 hours. +32°C outside. +50°C inside. He stayed strapped in, didn’t scream, didn’t try to escape. Just died. Dropped for #dead.

Why no one talks about existential #AGI risk? Shouldn’t we be worried about all of us dying? Or becoming well-fed pets in a locked-down zoo?

An excellent table by Dan Faggella, summing up the #HomoSapiens population of the planet.

So you’re struggling to finance your #feature #film. Or buy a “pro” camera. Or just a MacBook to type a novel. Or pay rent. Maybe just fix that gnawing tooth-ache?

How about an AC, now that +40℃ is the new normal?

Then you see how much we spend on bombing each other.

#Actions = real priorities.

- Tests?
- Uhm…
- Deploy?
- Sure…

(For the non-French — Doctolib is a de facto monopolist interface to book a medical consultation. One of those French Touch unico… is it, really?)

Already today, #entertainment is digital — Netflix, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, OF. Solitary, seamless, and instantly gratifying. 9,99 per month. Now imagine adding an #LLM tailored to your personal data (like OpenAI’s custom instructions):

The Silo series, like The Expanse, aspires to blend intricate sociodynamics with grounded engineering realism. Or does it dig its way down? The core of both stories — scientia potentia est — is clear. Knowledge is power.

Understanding without #action is well-informed inaction.

Ever copied #ChatGPT content into #Word? The Markdown doesn’t match your styles, and “paste as text only” nukes all structure and embellishments. Frustrating.

So I wrote a #Node.JS script. It grabs ChatGPT’s “Copy” button’s output, converts it to RTF, and maps it to your predefined Word styles.

If someone’s only definition of freedom is “I can do whatever I want if I have a lot of money” and they tend to Bask in Reflected Glory (BIRG) — they are easy prey to the #psychopaths

Americans’ exposure to economics is limited to a 15-week course in school, focused on US-centric, outdated free-market principles. The curriculum neglects behavioral economics, socialism vs communism, global trade, and… tariffs.

– So what do you do?
– Oh, I sing REM, The Eagles and Boney M. covers. My music’s played in supermarkets. It’s very well paid!
– Uhm…
– I can’t write my own lyrics anyway. And I can’t invent new #music either, to be honest. My next album is all #ChatGPT, though. How about you?
– Well…

True story.

#Aslice, a music revenue-sharing platform launched by DJ and producer DVS1 (Zak Khutoretsky) in 2022, has announced its permanent closure. It encouraged DJs to report setlists and pay a percentage of their fee to the artists they played—a variant of Germany’s GEMA-Vermutung.

Music Interpolation. Or how no one actually cares about what they listen to. Even if it’s #theft. Or uncredited #LLM regurgitation. Hey, I bet you probably won’t care about this video by #RickBeato either.

Where are we at? Where are _you_ at?

Robert Kegan and William Torbert’s research into why #adults stop learning and changing upon entering the workforce. The main reason?

Ever wondered about the heart-rate accuracy of the cheapest #AppleWatch compared to a medical-grade ECG chest strap? I did: github.com/Anatoly-IVAN...

Results? Surprisingly close.

#Parents either raise their #children to be #happy or convenient.

The first type lives in #happiness, or at least actively strives for it, seeking its meaning for themselves and others, beyond consumerism and ideology.
