How can journalists use AI ethically? For Tomas, it’s all about running the tools locally and verifying the findings.

Courtesy of a recent #Python thread, I found myself with this line of thought:
- that's what you get when choosing to program in a dynamically typed language.
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for Python existing and having the Tk GUI library tacked onto it - hence I'm using it for Foldatry, a tool I now use every day.
But I did soon twig, that any reliability of my program would be up to me, and that neither the language nor its interpreter would take on that role.
While that's a glib remark, taking it to heart means doing two things:
- being utterly perfect about each variable's execution tour inside your conceptual block of code;
- gatekeeping the types as they either go into or, enter a code concept block.
Doing anything else is a matter of relying on knowing all the possible ways that dynamic typing will handle values in your variables.
Ditto about the Python maintainers not changing their minds across versions.
Good luck with that!

There was an update of Wine on apt today. And it's amazing. I have some old windows95 programs that I run with Wine and always had some problem deciphering owing to my screen hi-res; had to use a screen-magnifying lens to use them. After today's Wine update, they scale like all other programs! Fantastic, well-done Wine team!
If you had my same problem with screen scaling for some old Windows programs, just update Wine!
Reminder for youngsters: Dick Cheney was the puppeteer behind the George W. Bush administration, the war on terror, the Iraq invasion, stomping all over civil rights at home, etc.
Basically he's the Darth Vader of American right-wing politics—but that was 20 years ago.
Trump is too grotesque for *this* guy to vote for.

The UN has called for a "full investigation" into Israel's killing of a US citizen in the occupied West Bank during a protest against illegal Jewish settlements, the BBC reported on 7 September.
In response to the killing, Stéphane Dujarric, the spokesman for the UN secretary-general, said: "We would want to see a full investigation of the circumstances and that people should be held accountable."

A Palestinian girl was killed by Israeli army gunfire Friday in the northern occupied West Bank.
The death came hours after the killing of a Turkish-American activist.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reported the death of Bana Amjad Bakar Laboum, 13, and said she was killed by Israeli forces in Qaryut, south of Nablus.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society confirmed that teams transported Bana, who had been shot in the chest.

We don't have to live this way. Kids don't have to die this way.
Ban the AR-15s. Enforce the second amendment properly -- "well regulated".
It seems like they got the headline and the fine print mixed up. Cool there were panic buttons. But why isn't the story the fact that we need them?!

Ça m'avait échappé: L'ex-dircab de Darmanin, Jérôme Fournel (dont je vous révélais qu'il a été placé chez Barnier à Matignon) est mis en cause pour avoir aidé le PSG à ne pas payer des dizaines de millions d’euros de taxes contre l’administration fiscale. En toute logique, il a donc été promu par Macron. Avec toutes les casseroles de la Macronie, je n'arrive plus à suivre. mediapart.fr/journal/france/07…
