Assad would sell his mom for 5 bucks but Turkish state media is not exactly a source.

Israel and the US have surveilled Syria for years. They are going off their list of targets because they can bomb anything for free now.

it is interesting it is TASS reporting this though, you would think they wouldn't bother writing about this unless it was in the Russian state's interest to do so

Gross. Trump might end up being worse than Biden cause the people around him.

in reply to butwhyishischinabook

it is irresistible to the redditor mind to complain about the word slam in a title of an article
in reply to Garibaldee

It's not exclusive to redditors.

It's bad journalism anywhere and should be criticized as such.

in reply to john89

it is not bad journalism though, there is a big difference between trying to increase your clickthrough and bad journalism, it doesn't change the meaning of the title when you say slam vs saying criticize, putting more exciting words in the titles you could maybe make an analogy to all the YouTubers who started making Mr Beast face in the thumbnail, the video or in this case the article is the same, they are just trying to get a higher click through rate and I really can't blame them, they are not making money hand over fist doing this

Protip: Journalists seldom get to choose the headlines for their articles, copy editors usually do.

Lol shitty style guides are redditor brain, okay. Do you also wear beanies in the summer and wax your mustache?

I'm very curious how RDNA 4 will stack up against Battlemage. Ingl, if Intel had released a B580 x2, so like a 5120 shader class card, I would've probably bought it (or its sister SKU) already. Gonna be tough competition

Anyone know:

How to rip a wiki from something like fandom and save it in a format that could be uploaded to this and

If that's legal in the first place?

in reply to Scrubbles

  1. Paste each article's raw source to ChatGPT, ask it to do it for you. If there are too many, you can automate it through the API for a negligible cost.
  2. Is it not.
in reply to PhilipTheBucket

Maybe also wget the website.

I’d be careful with using “ai.” Sometimes ChatGPT makes up answers even when you provide it with the data. -source it lies to me all the time

in reply to ComradeMiao

Converting from one format to another, it can do like gangbusters. I wouldn't trust it to summarize stuff from its training data, it can do a little bit better with summarizing stuff you give it, but just mechanically finding the text and putting it verbatim into a different markup it's pretty capable with.
in reply to PhilipTheBucket

Even reformatting has caused me issues. My best example is I gave it 100 citations in a non standardized format and asked for MLA. It returned 100 in MLA but randomly 10 of the books were made up. It decided to delete ten I sent at random and make them up instead of just giving me what I sent
in reply to ComradeMiao

Oh... yeah, you might have a point. Beyond a certain size of repeated things, it sometimes goes haywire, I've seen that.
in reply to PhilipTheBucket

I didn’t consider length! That’s a good point too

Another goofy example is I asked it a python question using a specific package import . I sent a big chunk of code. It answered using a package I wasn’t even importing breaking everything. It could never figure it out either lol

in reply to ComradeMiao

Yeah, that kind of thing requires reasoning, and it goes awry almost immediately. It's still pretty useful for generating snippets of boilerplate or finding stuff in big chunks of code, but I more or less gave up on having it actually create anything nontrivial in code.
in reply to Scrubbles

you might find some inspiration from breezewiki.com/ - either its codebase directly or using it as an intermediary while scraping

You can get the raw article text from fandom by clicking the edit button. Then you need to convert it from wikitext to markdown, there are various tools for that. Finally post it on Ibis. Fandom also has an API, so you could write a script to automate all this.
in reply to Nutomic

This is a cute idea but I've generally been satisfied with the idea of using Gitit. That's a wiki backed by a git repo, so you can use normal git commands to propagate updates between servers. github.com/jgm/gitit or "apt install gitit".

I don't understand how public opinion isn't nearly universally against Israel's horrors at this point.
in reply to Eiri

A lot of people see it as justified. They view arabs as barbarians and israelis as civilized.

They don't want to think about how Western oppression is a direct cause for the state of affairs in the middle east.



Empowering Community-Driven Funding with OpenClimate.fund


We're launching OpenClimate.fund, a community-driven initiative to support open source projects that address climate change and biodiversity loss. These are among the most pressing challenges of our time, yet open source efforts in these areas remain alarmingly underfunded. While significant resources are being spent on areas such as artificial intelligence and security, the environmental sector is largely left empty-handed when it comes to open source solutions. It's time to change that.

OpenClimate.fund aims to bridge this gap by funding an ecosystem built on transparency, trust, and collaboration to advance climate-friendly technologies and measurable environmental impact.

No decentralization or federation atm.

Everything in the Netherlands got privatised too. It's a damn shame.
