Arvind NarayananThe AI moratorium letter only fuels AI hype. It repeatedly presents speculative, futuristic risks, ignoring the version of the problems that are already harming people. It distracts from the real issues and makes it harder to address them. The letter has a containment mindset analogous to nuclear risk, but that’s a poor fit for AI. It plays right into the hands of the companies it seeks to regulate. By @sayashk and me. https://aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/a-misleading-open-letter-about-sci
Thijs LucasIch sehe die größte Gefahr in einer Regierung, die die deutschen Gesetze nicht einhält und damit erst extremen Ideen Raum gibt.
Das gilt für die Bundesregierung und auch die Landesregierungen. Sie dürfen keine Zweifel an Rechtstaat und Demokratie aufkommen lassen.
Christian Brauner 🦊🐺The year hasn't even started and I already see insults thrown around on the mailing list like rice on a wedding. Both sucks btw.

Ole BegemannI recently learned that German company Telefunken arguably invented the computer mouse. They offered a “Rollkugelsteuerung” (“rolling ball control”) for one of their mainframes in 1968, months before Douglas Engelbart’s “mother of all demos”. Telefunken’s mouse was also more advanced than Engelbart’s mouse as it used a ball instead of two wheels. (Photo credit:

65dBnoiseI'm a newcomer to #ESA's Planetary Science Archive. Here is how I decode images in the PSA archive with GIMP:
• Linux: You will need to compile a plugin, written by Holger Isenberg, https://twitter.com/areoinfo
• Source code/Windows executable for the plugin: http://areo.info/gimp/gimp-2.8/
• Linux: also needed is the file gimpcompat.h e.g. from here: https://github.com/mskala/noxcf-gimp/blob/master/libgimp/gimpcompat.h
• Better read the README file first 🙂
Then you will be able to process images like this:

@ShallowWater @mattblaze @sminnee @jxyzn This is almost the "go research" response I meant (you invested time to get that link) and I wasn't even asking the question. To make my point clearer: Do you want to post links to explanations to new users forever (and become first level support), or would you like it better if new users knew already when they signed up by e.g. a short faq or tutorial so that you would rarely see this topic again?
