“South Africa is being punished for taking Israel to the International Court of Justice and for its anti-American stance,” summarized political analyst Zakhele Ndlovu, speaking to South African news outlet IOL. In January 2024, Pretoria formally accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and urged the UN’s top court to order an end to its attacks, a stance rooted in South Africans’ lived experience with racial oppression. #IsraelWarCrimes #Apartheid #ICJ #uspol #IGaza brasildefato.com.br/2025/12/05…
Au fait, au taff on a une IA interne. Dev maison, on a 4 personnes sur le TAL / LLM depuis plusieurs années (dont deux doctorantes 💪). L'information est clair : ce n'est pas un moteur de recherche, ce n'est pas intelligent. Ça sert à traiter du texte : résumé, traduction rapide, un bout de code, on ne doit rien utiliser sans relire, etc ... Y'a un formulaire pour lui trouver un nom, j'ai proposé "Jean-Michel À-peu-près". J'ai déjà les voix de mes collègues et ça a fait rire mon DG.
- and as if on fucking cue, I just discovered that another one of my favorite digital things has taken another decisive #enshittification step: The free web version of #SketchUp no longer supports importing anything - not even STL files. Even worse, it isn't even clear which one of their subscriptions includes it.
There literally is only one way these things go: They WILL get around to taking things away & making you pay to get them back.

@futzle - and yes, I did watch the "how can it be free?" video & it's Silicon Valley VC bullshit, delivered by someone who was either duped or is lying.
It's the same bet every "we will grow & profit from knock-on effects of our free offering" digital service provider has made & lost; it's only a matter of time before investors demand faster growth, or the gambit fails, or both.
Il CEO di IBM, Arvind Krishna, ha espresso dubbi sulla sostenibilità economica degli investimenti nei data center per l'IA. Le aziende devono dimostrare che i servizi basati sull'IA generano ritorni economici proporzionati, cosa che finora non è avvenuta. businessinsider.com/ibm-ceo-bi…
For my penultimate 70s classic, I'm going back to my early teenage years for this (albeit cheesy) classic slice of pop. Mud were part of the revival of Rock 'n' Roll in the 70s (at the margins of early glam rock). This party favourite is a simple bit of nonsense which somehow transcends its origins to become a real pop treat. Great rhythm (which a simple associated dance) & nonsense lyrics. Hilarious!
I thought I knew this song inside out from the radio while I was a toddler, only to discover decades later the sound I knew was from one of those Pickwick "not performed by the original artist" LPs.
As the Workers' Student Union, we are calling out in front of the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education: We Don't Want to Die in MESEMs! We Do
Raar verschil. Ik heb gekeken hoe lang ik er over zou doen als ik op de fiets naar mijn O zou gaan. Apple zegt 2,5 uur, OSM maps zegt 1,5 uur. Staan echt allebei op fiets ingesteld. 🤔
en wat zegt de #routeplanner van de #fietsersbond? Je kunt zelf je snelheid instellen. En het type fietser. En het wordt door ( vele) fietsers onderhouden.
