A dicotomia de amizades e relações familiares com emigrantes é que apesar de estarem longe e distantes a maior parte do ano, acabam por ser quem junta toda a gente. Porque quebram a rotina e criam a oportunidade das pessoas se juntarem ao visitarem o país.

Dá para perceber que estamos a ir na direcção de uma bolha em AI quando os "white man with a podcast" se tornam repentinamente em especialistas de inteligência artificial, a falar de AGI e futurismo.

So after TikTok, DJI is the next candidate to be banned from US markets. They claim national security - that the company is spying on their citizens.
They could pass digital privacy laws instead of banning individual companies. But probably US companies wouldn't like it because they're running off the same playbook.
It's only spying when it comes from the region of China. When it's from the US it's just sparkling data economy.

I just realised that I'm letting Githib Co-pilot influence how I do code, not because it provides something amazing (70% of the time it doesnt), but because it informs me about what someone else (equivalent to a junior developer) would expect from my code, based on what's already there.
So, in a way, Github co-pilot in my workflow is a merely a variable and function name recommendation engine.

Costumava odiar a Apple por ser um "walled garden". Hoje fiz suporte IT a um familiar, e o estado do Windows é completamente lastimável.
Publicidade em todo o lado, o ícone do novo Outlook é indistinguível de spam. Pop Ups em tudo o que é sítio. Edge a ser empurrado a cada meia hora. É completamente impossível explicar coisas a um idoso, porque há sempre qualquer coisa que mudar.
Só me apetecia instalar Ubuntu e acabar com esta palhaçada...

Estou quase a bloquear o Reino Unido. Como é que as operadoras telefónicas saem impunes nisto? Como é que ainda é possível fazer spoofing de números de telefone em 2024?

So nice to see the basic Finns embracing social progress, and electing a gay man in an interracial relationship (who's also been convicted of racism related crimes) as a European parliament member during pride month. 😌

Com tanto desrespeito por propriedade intelectual (e honestamente identidade, com as ultimas notícias da Scarlet Johansson) a Open Ai vai ser o novo Theranos assim que a hype morrer. É por isso expectável que a empresa faça tudo para manter a hype, o que envolve cometer ainda mais crimes.

It's quite ironic how technology goes.
Video games are invented. Many people think it's not a "productive" use of technology.
Video games propel developments on matrix and parallel computation with dedicated hardware. Artificial intelligence researchers exapt the capabilities of video game specialised hardware, and turn it into a key asset in "productive" technologies.
People think innovation and progress is directed. It seems like it's more like a "random walk"

RIP API doc? One of the best google ranking #rails documentation seems to be down.
After flowdock got acquired, the website seemed to be pretty abandoned. It still had the flowdock ads although the product has been discontinued for years.
The Finnish company Nodeta Oy still seems to be alive, although loosing a few thousand euros a year. Website no longer works.

Anyone in the #photography fediverse who could give me recommendations on learning resources for portrait photography - specifically with film, including silver gelatin printing techniques for portraits.
Or perhaps some inspirational photographers I should read on?
Thank you 🙏 :)

Ok on the Auroras, tomorrow (12th) we still have G5 (extreme) activity going on, and today another massive CME has happened and seems to be incoming to earth, at least partially (as the sunspot is slowly rotating and pointing away from earth)
But basically we will probably have auroras all weekend, extending to the beginning of the week.

Käärjä has also withdrawn as a spokesperson for Finnish jury points, first through his Instagram, and later through the Uudenmusiikikipailu official Instagram.
Video of the rehearsal also surfaced with the Finnish spokesperson giving 12 points to Ireland rather than to Israel (simulated votes)

I'm not saying zero policy against verbal harassment is a bad thing, I'm just saying a country actively committing war atrocities on a daily basis should at least be on the same level 👀

The clouds almost ruined the entire experience. But we got a bit of luck exactly when the aurora peaked, according to the local magnetometers. Never in my life have I been so angry at clouds ☁️
Apparently auroras were visible all the way to Portugal.
The US has even better luck, as an even stronger CME hit around an hour ago, and it's dark there.

The first wave of solar winds has hit. The probability of seeing Northern lights is bonkers high, but the sun has just set. There's too much light still 😩
For reference, the best auroras I've personally seen were a KP 6.

Severe G4 geomagnetic storm is possible to hit earth in the early hours of Saturday. Hoping for a proper northern lights show, just before summer makes it too bright to see them.

Controversial opinion: Windows 95 man is not an outlier, it's the new norm for music.
In the last few years a significant portion of music hits are associated with memes and TikTok trends. Memes and the absurd are becoming an integral part of the current musical culture. So much so that it has become a part of music labels' strategy - find the next viral meme songs first.
Windows 95 man is also a reflection of that shift in musical culture. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Someone went through the mailing list of XZ, and this makes it look like it all started as a social engineering attack: using blame against a burned out developer to coerce them into giving out ownership of the project.

Sometimes I forget how much in an IT bubble I am.
With the XZ backdoor sorry It's almost like people avoided an IT catastrophe, and only the geeks are talking about it.
There are Finnish developers (probably NOT as the bad guys) in the center of the hurricane, but no Finnish media seems to be reporting it.
Considering how much our world is dependent on IT, it's strange that mainstream media shows so little interest in these stories...

It dawned on me that shibolets, especially on non english languages, are going to be the key to identifying AI generated voices
Even the best voice models seem to always generate silly accents and weird pronunciations because of how biased AI models are towards english language.

2024-03-27 09:25:24

One of the most annoying parts of working in an international team of programmers is variable naming by non native english speakers (incl. me) - especially in API responses and DB tables, where you're stuck with the name for ages.
Like having a `teams_members` table instead of `team_memberships`.

Só agora é que me apercebi que o Chega foi o 2º partido mais votado no círculo da Europa, e elegeu um deputado.
Sim! Emigrantes a votar no Chega. Se isso não fosse mau o suficiente, esperem há mais:
O deputado eleito pelo Chega foi emigrante ilegal em França e foi expulso duas vezes.
