Hey #fediverse, what are some of your favorite, non-main stream #RSS feeds? Ars Technica is probably my favorite and I've been a subscriber for a loooong time. I think they have the perfect ratio of interesting news for nerds like me.
I've been trying to find a news source that reports on autonomous autos, trucking, freight and logistics but I haven't yet found it.
Here are some of my current favs:
Ars Technica
Bad Left Hook
CNN > Technology
Defense News
Krebs On Security
NYTimes Technology
The Guardian Technology
What is your absolute favorite feeds?
Ok so I've seen the videos where some LLM can't get the answer right to "how many Rs are in the word strawberry".
Imagine being Salesforce, who laid off 4000 people and tried to replace them with LLMs. Three months later and I read they're regretting it.
How dumb are some of these executives? Maybe dumb isn't right... they're really really eager to shit can employees so they can increase their profit margins and blah blah blah. They just believe the marketing of these LLM companies, hook, line and sinker without doing any due diligence.
People can be wrong or dumb on the internet and you don't have to do anything about it, I whisper to myself as I scroll my timeline.
I'm someone who uses "sure" when people ask me questions sometime. I see many people saying this irritates them. Why not just say yes or no, they ask.
When I say "sure", I'm giving an unenthusiastic yes or affirmative. I can take or leave it. I'm willing to participate.
Instead of considering a LLM a person, that you extend personal courtesy to by saying please and thank you, it's better to think of it like a machine and your instructions and requests to it are closer to issuing programming commands.
I watch the Active Self Protection YT channel quite a lot. They're firearms experts, ex-law enforcement, academics etc and they often review police shootings and such. I say that to say, I've watched a lot of police badge videos and I've heard the reasoning of experts about when law enforcement are justified in using deadly force.
The video I've seen of the ICE/Good shooting does not seem to be a justified use of force, in my opinion.
I personally can't imagine trying to drive away when law enforcement people, with guns drawn at issuing commands but that doesn't mean police officers get to execute people because they're not following orders.
These ICE people strike me as brown shirt thugs with little to no training in law enforcement.
I hear the MAGA types saying there's no such thing as international law and that there's only the law of the jungle, might makes right and all that.
The part that they're not stating, and which I think is very important, is that historically, the people who had the might and the ability to enforce international law, choose to do so.
Better people than these idiots have historically wanted there to be rules based law so they did their part to uphold it.
I recently saw a quote that I think is apt and I will leave you with it:
"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means the sun is about to set." -Lin Yutang
