People worry a lot about losing knowledge — about "burned-down libraries".

Comparatively few people seem to worry about what happens if you take a billion books full of auto-generated, often-untrue junk text and *add* them all to the library.

In theory, nothing is lost. In reality, everything is lost, because nothing useful can now be found.

Warm regards to Hypatia and to all the keepers of books from Ancient Egypt to this present moment.
If you live in a state where books are being banned, the Brooklyn Public Library offers a free eCard nationwide to those aged 13 to 21 to access their entire digital catalog for one year in an effort to combat this horrendous act.

@sergia@dair-community.social Curious as well. I’ve done it before (what maintenance and cascading fallback fun), but it feels really wonky in application. .

nerdybutcute :pansexual_flag:

i mean the thing is if you just looked at "this person is head of {x} company and {x} company has done this impressive thing," i get how maybe - maybe - you might attribute that to the person

(though i still think this requires unforgivable naivete about how capitalism works)

but every time - and not just recently - Musk opened his mouth, he said something OBVIOUSLY ridiculous that betrayed he was a fantasist not a technologist

he NEVER had coherent proposals, just wild ideas. BAD, wild ideas

Man if only there were some kind of popular song about people overreacting to balloons and interpreting them as military action in need of response. Maybe in german

All tech people should be forced to test their fancy new software on 5-year-old hardware with a rural internet connection.

@semidetached Thank you!! I only capture a handful of photographs in a year that really sing to me. This was definitely one of them!

@h5e @just_like_aerin Absolutely. And if cute tops are what panics morals, then we must aspire to own as much panic gear as possible. 👚

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
