Ya ha saltado el viejo debate del precio de los libros 📚💸

Por mi parte, yo considero que sí, los libros están cada vez más caros. Y entiendo que es por el encarecimiento de las materias primas, pero lo que no me parece bien (y que también es un hecho) es que la CALIDAD de las ediciones cada vez va a PEOR 👎❌️

Libros como "Hotel Magnifique" de la editorial Puck, que es bastante reciente (y la historia es maravillosa), en su edición al castellano lo han DESTROZADO con traducción nefasta y maquetacion deficiente. 19 pavos 💶, por cierto.

O editoriales como TBR que utilizan guiones en vez de RAYAS para los diálogos (tengo dos de sus libros y en los dos, con diferente fuente, tienen guiones en vez de raya). 🤯

Y qué decir de Planeta, que hasta sus mangas dan pena (he visto fotos de lo que sube la gente para denunciar esto).😮‍💨

🤷‍♀️ Así que como lectores yo creo que tenemos derecho a quejarnos porque, vale, nos subes los precios pero ¡que la calidad sea acorde y no peor, vaya! No creo que tengamos que seguir tragando que nos pongan libros editados como el culo y a precios cada vez más elevados.

Vamos, mi opinión (en absoluto pretendo enfrentarme ni ofender a ningún particular, ni tampoco me meto con los autopublicados) 😊

Long thread short: a lawyer presented court documents created with #ChatGPT filled with nonexistent sources. But go read the whole thing, because it's amazing.

#LLMs are not search engines. They are not databases. They produce plausible text but they only get facts right by accident. We absolutely need good education in what these tools can and cannot do, but the companies themselves are to blame for training users into using them in exactly the wrong way.

El pasado martes los accionistas de la corporación petrolífera #Shell votaron rechazar la proposición 26, que instaba a reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero para alcanzar los objetivos propuestos por el Acuerdo de París.

El 80% de los accionistas votó a favor de rechazar la proposición.

Sus beneficios antes que el planeta.

Criminales climáticos.

Now this is a good and sensible position! Great headline, too. :) #ai #llm #hype #gpt

Just Calm Down About GPT-4 Already

Here's an interesting fact: in the first version of the Stanford-Binet IQ test, women on average did better than men. Since women could not be more intelligent than men, they removed questions women did better on, and replaced them with ones men did better on, until the results came out right. (Hacking, /The Social Construction of What?/, p. 173.)

Is this too much to ask? Evidently it is. 😕

Truth:

Algunos de los mejores carteles electorales que nos encontramos por ahí:

"A jacked-up motorcycle in the middle of the night can easily wake up 10,000 people."

More cities in #France install "Méduse" anti-noise radars, which have 4 microphones, and a camera to automatically ticket vehicles that exceed a certain number of decibels

I'm dead serious; and furthermore as someone who has studied fascism, fascists, and the white sumpremacist ideology that binds the together, I can honestly say it was probably a pretty bad idea to tell nazis who think they're invincible that climate catastrophe disproportionately affects all the people they hate the most. They're slowly turning that into a feature, not a bug, in their fantasyland nazi cracker ethos.

I'm actually not big on setting machine specific aliases. I think it makes me forget how the commands work when I move servers or rebuild machines. But I use variations of this alot.

1. /home/user/bin/notes.sh
#!/bin/env bash
STAMP=`date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M"`
echo "# $STAMP" > ${STAMP}.md
vim ${STAMP}

2. .bashrc

This. Is. Amazing.

Montréal suburb Brossard has a traffic light in a school zone that defaults to red, and only turns green when an attached speed camera detects a car driving under the speed limit.

The light is on a 90-day trial, on a 2-lane residential street. Similar signals are widespread across Europe.

Before it was installed, average vehicle speeds of 40 km/h. But in the past week, average speeds have dropped to 29 km/h.
