Add a reminder-listing of those commands and what they do at the end of the .bashrc file in their home directory and it will pop up that reminder list automatically whenever they start the terminal.
That medallion must weight 3 or 4 pounds.
Another is the non-monolithic nature of (real) science and the requirement for (real) scientific methods (e.g., replicated, non-sponsored studies).

However, I’ll save you a bit of time: most of these “topics” are based on a false premise. They are strawman arguments which indicate a misunderstanding of a particular argument/viewpoint.

A statement that shines a moon-sized spotlight on the bias of its author towards groupthink.

Sorry to hear that. Do you get better results with SearXNG?

I ignore communities, posts, and comments that have no real thought behind them. This includes those that are just “educated” repetitions of culture-mantras, no matter what “side” or whatever they are on. Unfortunately, this is most of the internet these days.

Because I appreciate thought, I upvote comments that someone activated some brain cells to write. I also upvote those that make me think, teach me something new, or just make me laugh.

I downvote comments that are mean, aggressive, or otherwise demeaning to the person they are replying to - whether that person was me or someone else.

Did AI Almost Start World War III? - Lemmy.World

From: https://brownstone.org/articles/did-ai-almost-start-world-war-iii/ [https://brownstone.org/articles/did-ai-almost-start-world-war-iii/] > As DD Geo-politics reported, “since 2015, the IAEA has relied on Palantir’s Mosaic platform, a $50-million AI system that sifts through millions of data points — satellite imagery, social media, personnel logs — to predict nuclear threats.” > In this particular case, reports Alastair Crooke, > “Its algorithm looks to identify and infer ‘hostile intent’ from indirect indicators — metadata, behavioral patterns, signal traffic — not from confirmed evidence. In other words, it postulates what suspects may be thinking, or planning. On 12 June, Iran leaked documents, which it claimed showed IAEA chief Rafael Grossi sharing Mosaic outputs with Israel. By 2018, Mosaic had processed more than 400 million discrete data objects and had helped impute suspicion to over 60 Iranian sites such as to justify unannounced IAEA inspections of those sites, under the JCPOA. These outputs, though dependent largely on the algorithmic equations, were incorporated into formal IAEA safeguard reports and were widely accepted by UN member states and non-proliferation regimes as credible, evidence-based assessments. Mosaic however is not a passive system. It is trained to infer from its algorithm hostile intent, but when repurposed for nuclear oversight, its equations risk translating simple correlation into malicious intent.”

What's the smallest laptop that runs Linux and is actually usable? - Lemmy.World

I’m interested in ideas for small laptop-style devices that (1) run Linux and (2) are actually usable (i.e., not so small or low quality they’re basically toys). My goal is for something to supplement my current, larger laptop. Something I can throw in a bag and pull out as needed during the day to take a few notes, read an eBook on, access the web, and so on. Anyone have or heard of such a device?

A key adviser to Kennedy, Calley Means, could directly benefit from one of the campaign’s stated aims: popularizing “technology like wearables as cool, modern tools for measuring diet impact and taking control of your own health”.

Calley Means is a senior Kennedy adviser, and was hired as a special government employee to focus on food policy, according to Bloomberg. He founded a company that helps Americans get such wearable devices reimbursed tax-free through health savings accounts.

Casey Means is Calley’s sister. She also runs a healthcare start-up, although hers sells wearable devices such as continuous glucose monitors. She is Kennedy’s nominee for US surgeon general, and a healthcare entrepreneur whose business sells continuous glucose monitors – one such wearable device. Calley Means’s company also works with Casey’s company.

Due to Calley Means’s status as a special employee, he has not been forced to divest from his private business interests – a situation that has already resulted in an ethics complaint. Consumer advocates, such as the non-profit group Public Citizen, had warned such hiring practices could cause conflicts of interest. HHS did not respond to a request for comment about Calley Means’s private business interests, or his role in crafting the publicity campaign.

I’m sure soon enough we’ll be “wearing” them inside our bodies so we don’t have to be troubled to make sure they’re working. Hasn’t that been the Big Tech dream for decades now?
