This is the newsworthy bit:

He [Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov] told Kommersant “it’s entirely possible that there won’t be any troops (in the Donbas), either Russian or Ukrainian” in a postwar scenario. But he said that “there will be the National Guard, our police, everything necessary to maintain order and organize life.”

This is the very first time that the Kremlin recedes a hairbredth from the maximalist demands they started the war with and reiterated every single time there was an attempt to negotiate. Thix is especially newsworthy when you put it in the context of the recent Ukrainian proposal to demilitarize Donbas and to put it under international control lead by the US. They basically agreed on the demilitarization part and did not outright say нет to the international control.

Resarch can only study the average effect. If switching to a certain font does not help on average, it does not mean that it helps never.

If I am not mistakem, they did not cite OP but pretended that OP joined their community and committed posts on their blog.

If they tell you they love you, they love you. But there are many, many different kinds and aspects of love, many ideas what love is. If they tell you “we love you” but you cannot feel or sense this love, you are both using the same word, but not the same idea of love. Or maybe you have even the same idea what love means, but have different ways and needs how to express and experience this love.

The key would be not to doubt their love but to discuss and reflect with them what they mean when they say “We love you”, how they try to show you their love, how they want you to show your love, how you want them to show their love.

Sadly, for most people such conversations are very hard, if not next to impossible. Counseling, mediation or therapy can be helpful, if you’ve got access to any.

@gigachad@sh.itjust.works has a point, though. I agree with you that love is expressed by words, but I also agree with them that words alone are meaningless if not backed by loving behaviour.

If you want software that analyses an image and produces tags that describe the image’s content, you want a combination of image recognition, image interpretation, text generation and a promp generator to link these three parts. There is no way that any single of these applications can be “lightweight”, not to speak of the combination.

If you stop at radical acceptance, you’ll end up being fatalistic and spineless, giving up your own needs and wishes, hurting yourselve in the process.

In psychotherapy, the next step after acceptance is comittment. What do I really want? For what do I really care? What do I really need? My coworkers are morons, Ok, accepted - but what do I really need? Perhaps I need to take pride in my work, and need to commit to get a job I can take pride in. Maybe I need friends and need to commit finding friends outside of work. Maybe I just need money and can commit to just earn money. In either case I don’t have to be upset about my moronic coworkers any longer.

Just take them out 1–2 days before you consume them.

Well, back in the day they successfully ousted Mr. Boycott by boycotting him. So at least the first boycott successfully worked.

I’d say all of history until 1968?

That’s a misconception how LLMs work. It is how SF-authors imagined AI would work.

LLMs won’t give you logical solutions to your problems — they’ll give you the essence of the data they were fed with that are statistically likely to be associated with the words you used to prompt them. And since they are usually trained on the enshittified internet, well, you get what you paid for.

The original TWM is definetely an experience nobody should miss. Like lighting a fire or washing your clothes manually.

You do not use TWM, do you?

Well, umbrella literally means “little shadow” and is aptly used as a synonym for parasol in severeal languages. Just because the English misused them to shield against rain does not change the meaning. Or perhaps it does?

There is the gutenprint project supplying drivers for a lot of older printer models.
