So they tried to execute her after a federal court stopped the execution one hour before the execution was scheduled to start?

Something does not compute.

@WarnerCrocker
Why should they?

It's rather clear that the election will be a disaster for the #GOP

I mean that the mid terms will be stolen by massive fraud by all the illegal immigrants voting in ICE camps.

Sorry, yes surprises are possible, but Americans seem to be extraordinarily pissed with the GOP currently.

So the logical expectation is that if they cannot change what goes into the ballot box, manipulate the process of what happens with the box.

@WarnerCrocker Strongly agree, not much innovation around the rotten fruit cult. ✔

@WarnerCrocker
Wow, Apple is so innovative, only 7 years after the Galaxy Fold.

Sorry, I have to step out to count the generations of the Galaxy Fold that they've arrived at already, optimizing and perfecting.

And basically also to count the number of foldables in the Android world. Never mind, that the tech is used also for flip phones nowadays.

Sorry had to point out that this is exciting in the tech of the past decade way.

@WarnerCrocker
Funny how Apple is part of the federal executive.

That's what executive orders are about.

@FediTips Ah, that's where an automatic heuristic could probably help, e.g. for European users that statistically will be multilingual. But potentially favour one language, as most EU MS/regions have a dominant local language. Again, an assumption based on statistics.

You correctly mentioned that language detection is unreliable for short texts. Sigh. But if you ask the user what languages (s)he speaks, the following works surprisingly well for short texts (e.g. titles of documents):

@apps but also @elk are even worse than the mastodon webui btw -> they literally do not allow you restrict the language settings so switching between my two primary languages that I use (DE/EN, I officially left school with 4 languages on my CV) is a PITA.

Yes you can probably construct a predictor function that works for specific cases better, but in general that construct -> constrain to allowed set of languages + use the statistically most like solution in the cases where you can cannot cleanly predict -> should give something near the ideal predictor.

(Our production ETL raised also an operator warning if a language not in the allowed set popped up to often in a data set, so an human could look over it to check if a lang was overlooked.)

Why does that detection work surprisingly well:
- by setting a set of allowed languages, you kick out weaker/wrong signals, e.g. if I post a German thread about literature, and have a couple of French articles cited in them, they will not sudden make the toots that have the French words from these title turn into a French language toot (as long I did not admit that I'm also a French speaker, nothing is perfect)
- and the unsolvable case "unknown" gets the statistically most likely answer.

```
language = langdect(text)
if language == "UN": language = language_default
```
You might wonder what the language_default is:
- you either ask the user.
- you use the dominant language the user used to post in the past.

Basically we used this with the first option for datasets of texts (don't ask, many datasets, many texts, many countries, oddest quality standards), and it works surprisingly well on short texts (title/subjects).

@WarnerCrocker
Yeah, the fucking LLM are still maxing out in practice at ~250-300K tokens, which makes them surprisingly stupid and small minded when it comes to getting the big picture.

Still a great step forward in NLP.

Intelligence. General intelligence. Not so much.

@WarnerCrocker
You still missed the most irritating issue, at the time the "RAM market" was cornered, all the story was a non binding letter of intent.

That made literally no sense.

That did not contain any relevant details.

Yet it was enough to move the world economy.

Because nobody in charge considered does that make sense?

And actually in a way as an excuse to raise prices, cut supply without getting InTouch troubles with authorities or made sense. Shrug

@selzero
Yeah that rule of law thingy is quite intrusive on the freedom of enjoying your wealth.

What are your billions good for if you are still not allowed to shoot or rape your help?

They should feel lucky to be of use to their betters.

@WarnerCrocker Well, bigger e-ink labels would be pricier.

@WarnerCrocker
Don't worry if the features are unfinished when shipped, you can vibe code finish them at home.

@WarnerCrocker
Ok, if you look into the little we know, it's a bit clickbaity but not clickbait as such.

Correct: there is a kernel exploit despite MIE active on M5. Shrug bugs happen.

Mythos did not break it, but was used as a coding aid under the guidance of experienced human security researchers.

It's probably real as others (heise, etc) could see the details.

But will only know for sure when rotten fruit fixes it.

@WarnerCrocker
Let's be honest, he had driven the bus against wall when it comes to Iran.

Iran can continue as is for a long time, escalate in small finely dosed steps. The USA has used up its escalation options. And that at the bargain price of $25-75b or so.

And the so called US allies in the region are the ones that are carrying the primary pain of the idiots actions.

So I'm sure they might have used big words and big sticks to get his attention.

@WarnerCrocker
You forgot to specify for whom.

Going well for the USA? For Trump? For Iran? The Iranian regime?

Depending for winch of these, the answer might be different.

Currently it looks like the Iranian regime is the top dog, the Iranian population are paying most for it. Followed by other populations like the Americans. And yes Trump is a joke.

@tk
Yeah, lying seems to a way to be successful in the USA.

@WarnerCrocker
Well the sites are literally a conversation of black design patterns to make sure user eye balls stay as long as possible on them.

I'd assume that if that means that they trigger addiction pathways in the users so they come back, that's a sacrifice they are quite willing to take.

Kids, psychology is nowadays an important part of game design especially on "free to play" games to make sure that enough money comes in with the game publisher.
