@fortune@social.linux.pizzaThere are three schools of magic. One: State a tautology, then ring the
changes on its corollaries; that's philosophy. Two: Record many facts.
Try to find a pattern. Then make a wrong guess at the next fact; that's
science. Three: Be aware that you live in a malevolent Universe controlled
by Murphy's Law, sometimes offset by Brewster's Factor; that's engineering.

British Columbia and Washington need to work on a Cascadia-focused agreement on how to manage the Nooksack without meddling from the United States or Canada, which are apathetic to the real issues facing our region

@vosje62@mastodon.nlJammer dat Eenvandaag weer met t voorbeeld van het toiletbezoek van Orban kwam toen het over consensus in de EU ging.
Veel belangrijker is dat in diezelfde tijd meer zaken 'gedelegeerd' werden naar groepen landen met precies hetzelfde belang. Zo is toen een deel van de EU-defensie geregeld.
Per definitie zitten er ook grote verschillen tussen verschillende regio's. Zo'n oplossing is dan ook zo gek nog niet. (En zet een 'Hongarije' buiten spel)

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioIt's funny how "AI" tools are simulteanously marketed as "agents" that can run fully in the background and do stuff but whenever they do something bad it's the user at fault for not supervising the software that doesn't work.
Even when it’s directly used and the user has the chance to review everything—it’s extremely dangerous, especially at tasks it is doing fine like 95% of the time and/or when the bad things are only subtly wrong.
Imagine other tools being like this, like a steering wheel that turns the car 95 out of a 100 times. 2% of the time it steers into the other direction. 3% of the time it steers 5x as much as normally.
