Iran is home to some of the oldest and most ingenious water distribution networks in the world, the qanat systems of underground aqueducts. Worth whatever prayers you indulge in as the USA viciously destroys desalination plants and other critical infrastructure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qanat
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

"I can't find any reason to celebrate the assassination of the Iranian supreme leader because I think it's part of a package ... It's also part of the killing of Iranian innocent people," says Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi, a longtime critic of the Iranian government.

'Tchouaméni diz que Prestianni alegou ter ofendido Vini Jr. de outra forma: "Viado"'
na próxima versão ele vai dizer que chamou de boliviano aí fica tudo de boa

seeing another episode of the never ending hatred and racism against Vini Jr, it is incredible that europeans get more offended by a black guy dancing than by genocide (against non-whites of course)
Ursula Le Guin wrote a response to this kind of nonsense years ago. Read it instead.

Studie beweist: Superreiche zahlen weniger Steuern als der Mittelstand Die Zahl der Milliardäre nimmt zu. Gleichzeitig sinken die Steuersätze, die für Superreiche gelten. BMW-Erbin Susanne Klatten etwa zahlt einer Studie zufolge weniger Abgaben als der Durchschnittsbürger.

Absolutely right. Like Chris, I resent the framing that European governments are learning this from the US. It’s totally routine for hundreds of black African people to drown in the Mediterranean when trying to reach Europe. The EU, and its homegrown structural racism, enabled that all by itself.

Watching pro AI people in Reddit discussions about slop PRs (code edit submissions to open source public software projects) complaining "What's the problem just review the PRs, if they're good merge them" really underlines a lot of the problematic way that AI boosters devalue respect for labour.

Wochenlang hieß es von STARK: Thiel sei nur „kleiner Investor“ ohne Einfluss.
Nun investiert er erneut – kurz vor dem 300 Mio. € Deal.
Das Parlament wurde über seine Rolle getäuscht.

It's hard to take dev productivity research seriously that:
a. Measures output instead of outcomes
b. Focuses on individuals working in isolation
c. Leaves out customer feedback loops (because they do the heavy lifting)
d. Relies on self-reporting
e. Has no testable hypothesis
In Anbetracht der Nachrichtenlage wäre es angemessen, mehrere politische Talkshows zu sexualisierter und häuslicher Gewalt zu machen mit mind. 80% weiblichen Gästen.
Dass es sie nicht gibt und geben wird, erzählt viel über misogyne Strukturen in Bereichen, die sich für objektiv & aufgeklärt halten.
"AI is built on the collective knowledge of humankind."
No. Nononononono. It is not built on _knowledge_, it it built on _data_. And not everyone's experiences are available as data, many communities are excluded.
aprecio a boa intenção do pessoal enumerando dicas de segurança pra postar foto de menores em redes sociais mas a quantidade e a complexidade das recomendações indica que talvez o melhor seja simplesmente tirar a foto do seu filho e colocar num porta retrato bem bonito aí na sua casa
