I can't help but laugh and cry at the same time when people on BSky are talking trash about Twitter and how bad it is when a platform controls the narrative through algorithms and that centralization is bad.

Tell me again, how many instances are there on BSky again? Oh right, one. But doesn't that mean centralization? Oh... Yeah, it does

For duck sake. How can you be on a centralized platform and bitch about centralized platforms.

Var medvetna om att Bluesky är baserat i USA. Öppna gärna ett konto på Mastodon också, på en server i ett land i Europa. De största svenska är mastodon.nu och mastodonsweden.se

Nors kyrka i starkt solljus. Tanken var att ta bilder inne i kyrkan, men som den amatör jag är, hade jag inte kontrollerat om kyrkan var öppen. Den var stängd. ☹️

In my line of profession it's prudent to "use all the things" and I have more tech and computers than I like to admit.

There will however NEVER be another Apple device in this household.

If correct this is vile. It appears that Trump dances to the tune of Putins pipe.

US threatens to cut Ukraine's Starlink over minerals dispute. Loss of vital satellite internet would cripple military ops, especially drones.

Stop saying “artificial intelligence”. (And “neural networks” too.)

Be more specific. Say “reinforcement learning”. Say “generative modelling”. Say “Bayesian filtering”. Say “statistical prediction”.

These are incredibly useful tools that have nothing to do with “intelligence”.

And say “model trained on plagiarised data”.

Say “bullshit generator”.

Say “internet regurgitator”.

These are also nothing to do with intelligence, but they have the added bonus of being useless, too.

I my continued quest to get stickers into loving homes and redistribute my sticker surplus, I'm going to post some individual ones:

Had the second part of basic #electronics with my class today. A few more circuits to practice on and introduced capacitors as well.

Whomever wanted also had the opportunity to try their hand at #soldering. Several kids had never tried before and gave it a go with some simple circuits.

One kid really took to it and tried their hand at some relatively complicated circuits, like an LED flip-flop.

Sometimes it's fun to be a #teacher...
