I dabble. Mostly in trains - H0 scale and live steam. Sometimes in games. Professionally in tech. German living in Australia, I post and repost in English and German. Trans rights are human rights.
Orion Ussner kidderHey, Linux people: a LOT of folks are screaming off Windows right now.
Be. Kind. To. Them.
They don't know much yet, so they are going to ask really basic questions. If you're KIND, you might get some to give it a try and stick to it bc they know they can ask for help. If you're unkind, you're showing them using Linux will be *worse* than Windows. If you can't bring yourself to be kind, then SAY NOTHING. Let others pick up that slack.

"They're chipping at the pillars
And pulling at the bricks
Some things will recover
While others can't be fixed
How do we always act surprised
When all our monsters come to life?
Tell me, what the hell is going on?
We're digging in the mines for gold long gone
When everything we thought we always knew
Turns out wrong
How do we hold on?"

More boobs than brainsYou know a lot of problems I have here could just be avoided if people realized that unsolicited advice is criticism.
myrmepropagandistSome people think that those of us who object to AI do so for silly reasons: "the singularity" or some kind of notion that it's just creepy to have a machine talking like a person.
The fantastical and more absurd objections are used to discredit the rejection of this tech as uncritical ludditism.

A quick status update on my interim #modelrailway layout. It shouldn't be too much longer until I can run trains again.

Timnit Gebru (she/her).In what world is it acceptable to have a product whose behavior is not reproducible at all? You have no idea what the training data is, what the evaluation data is, y'all write papers about the system "learning" this or that, when your test set might be part of its training set. And these companies can't provide any guarantees for what the output will be for a particular input, and the ways in which it will change, if the output is different for the same input.
