@CuratedHackerNews No, we're working on #GenAI policy in #FreeBSD right now. It is not an automatic go or no-go; discretion is required. #Colin #Percival is looking into it. As the old saying goes, "it is important to keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out." @timnitGebru @emilymbender @pluralistic

Shutting it off now. I've heard enough about #Epstein, I mean the #fascist invasion of #Venezuela and the kidnapping of #Maduro.

Percival Everett talks about reading as a radical act of resistance. I will now resist by finishing his novel, So Much Blue.

Go Big Read conversation centers around literature and language as a radical act 

“Reading is the single most subversive act there is,” author Percival Everett told the audience at the Go Big Read keeynote at Union South on Tuesday evening.

Shelley Fisher Fishkin's new book, Jim, about Huck Finn's companion, just arrived from Yale University Press. A perfect companion to Percival Everett's acclaimed novel, James, and, of course, the original Huckleberry Finn by the esteemed Sam Clemens.

Thoughtful solitude

One hour of thoughtful solitude may nerve the heart for days of conflict—girding up its armor to meet the most insidious foe.

Percival Everett's brilliant James won the National Book Award for Fiction. If you haven't read it, you must! And if you haven't read Huck Finn (ever or recently), you might want to read that first. Everett wrote the story that Twain couldn't. It's really an extraordinary accomplishment. We're so lucky he gave us this gift (and The Trees and Erasure and so many more amazing novels).

Cosa avevano in comune #grilloparlante, #TeddyRuxpin, #2XL, #Percival ed #Emiglio? Ad esempio, non avevano una vera #IntelligenzaArtificiale, ma erano in grado di imitarne una in modo passabile con una semplice musicassetta o cartuccia

Sembrano intelligenti ma non lo erano: i robot smart nell'era del retro

Anche nell'era del retro esistevano i robot smart. Robot parlanti, robot semoventi, giocattoli in grado di leggere

¿Alguien sabe cómo se dice #Parsifal en #castellano?

Digo, igual y se dice así, pero pregunto porque no vaya a ser uno de esos casos como el de James=Jacobo=Santiago, o como Koldo=Luis

Sé que en #inglés se dice #Percival, pero en mi lengua materna #NPI
