@ken_fallon@mastodon.sdf.org Trying to scan it would have been a bit too intrusive, sadly. =)

When I heard Yello's "I Love You" (... "I Know") half a life ago don't think I realized it was an obvious Star Wars reference.

@mlinksva@mastodon.social True, Apache mod_* is about the same thing and pretty old.

Framework level would be cool and doesn't sound far-fetched at all. Someone will do it.

@undergrowthfeed@achrilock.social I'm not saying thinking machines are impossible. I'm a biological machine. I'm just saying humans aren't yet capable of designing and building them and we haven't even started.

It does not have even the seed of cognition. It's text-based autocomplete with no root in semantics and concepts. There is no room for evolution or emergent properties.

All the talk about "existential risk" is hype designed to simultaneously do two things:
1) inflate the recent achievements of scale and their importance
2) crowd out discussion about harm already being done by pre-existing systems for automating human decision-making

@steffen I'm seeing so much cool stuff happening with CalcKey. Have you thought about whether you might like to switch over?

@gnusuario@qoto.org @SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo As an analogy, the Boston Tea Party is considered a key event in US history, even though the US didn't exist at the time.

@steffen Thanks, that explains it. ?

wow, misskey.de is receiving a lot of software updates lately

@silverwizard@convenient.email @firefly_lightning@convenient.email Drivers don't work well on computers newer than a year, so I guess Linux doesn't know computers exist. ?

@evan@prodromou.pub Only if it is consensual. But is it really cheating then?

Thunderstruck and Run to the Hills are my favorites I think.

@silverwizard@convenient.email For melancholy sounds and crisp lyrics I can recommend Hellsongs. They sing AC/DC, Iron Maiden and other metal covers in a melancholic and light melodic way, and for me it's usually been the first time I actually heard the lyrics. ?

They call it "Lounge Metal". Richard Cheese, Paul Anka and Dick Brave have done that genre too, but Hellsongs do it in that kind of Cardigans, Pomplamoose singer-singwriter way instead of a more Big Band Jazz direction.

@silverwizard@convenient.email Ah, you mean you need to song to stand out more clearly and Kent's messy guitar sound just comes out as noise for you?

Come to think of it I did listen to "If You Were Here" and it immediately annoyed me that they had the line "If you were here, if I was there" when it should have been "If you were here, if I were there" to match the Swedish text's intention. Doesn't bode well for the translations overall.

@silverwizard@convenient.email Yeah, their lyrics seldom has any clear meaning, it's more of an ambience or a mood.

And I haven't listened to their two English-version albums, so I don't even know how well they managed to translate that.

@silverwizard@convenient.email Less joyful sad but also that quirky Swedish brand of melancholy: Have you tried Kent?

@hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com I guess they actually mean "come into my comfort zone"?
