Any review of a very specialized topic that starts with a 10,000 foot review, like “Cancer is one of the most significant diseases in the world, here’s some basic facts about it…” I immediately find sus for not understanding its target audience’s baseline knowledge level.

Is emoji interpretation just a "fun" summer topic, or does emoji misinterpretation ever become serious, like in court discussions? - In face there have been several cases both in North America and Europe where emoji meanings were negotiated in court! I keep a collection of them because it's a nice intersection with my alter ego, the "forensic" linguist. For example, in cases from Canada and Bavaria, judges had to decide whether a thumbs-up 👍 in a chat was meant as a signal of agreement (to a contract or contract amendment), or whether (like the senders argued) it constituted only an acknowledgement of receipt of the message. In both cases, the context was super important - how did the parties interact before, what else was said in the chat, etc. Interesting! #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

Oh, here it is (July 2018). It's nice that this report back didn't include any names or initials so I didn't need to sanitize it:
Meeting Notes:
Table-top exercise scenario topic was state and far-right repression.
Responses:
Strong networks require redundancy, so no one person is a social connection, skills, or resource gatekeeper. These people are often targeted by the state, and if they get burned out and leave, it also weakens and jeoprodizes groups.
Ways to strengthen our networks:
Mentoring/sharing responsibility. Creating a culture of mentorship and support so new people learn skills, take on responsibilities, and are introduced to other folks. Reducing burden on a few key people too.
Chaos Monkey exercise: ask central people to step back from communications/organizing to see what happens.
Regular check-ins! & Delegates check-in with new members they sign up
Ask well connected folks to introduce people to build social redundancy.
Gaming (D&D, board games, etc) committee could support a more fun, and socially robust network.
Practical safety tool:
Burner phone. Not everyone needs one, but good to have access to.
TO DO LIST:
Make regular announcements at each meeting for people to check-in with folks they know (especially those they haven’t heard from in awhile!)
Start google doc for disaster preparedness zine
Why you should prepare (ideological argument)
What people should have (the basics)
How to prepare
Frame as questions, so people can find the answer that best suits themselves.
Such as “what are you preparing for?”
Where do you spend most of your time? (home? Office? car?)
Make it as easy as possible for folks to get the basics (list locations for supplies, etc.)

Electoral Commission says ministers should introduce clearer duties on AI platforms to protect voters against misinformation and ensure algorithms did not mislead voters, particularly during critical election periods. The problem is that AI platforms *can't do that*. LLMs can answer "what's the received wisdom about this programming topic?" because they've scraped all of Stack Overflow, but they don't *know* anything, especially not about news.

In today's Two Minutes Hate, I'd like to talk about automatic translations on Reddit.
As a user of English as a second language I find them annoying for two reasons.
One - they always rank high in search results when I specifically need LOCAL knowledge on the topic, coming from other folks from my country, and anything else is useless to me.
Two - when the Reddit thread contains reference to a nationality, e.g. "As a Finnish", their translation switches that to "Jako Polak" ("as a Pole"). And that makes things confusing as hell if I make a grave mistake of diving into a thread I shouldn't have touched in the first place (usually due to the Reason Number One).
I used to appreciate Reddit a lot in the past, but of course it couldn't last forever.

“If you were an emoji, what emoji would you be?” - Hm, I think I’d pick 👩💻 because that represents how I spend my days the best.
Representation and diversity is an important topic when it comes to emojis. Studies show that the skin tone modifiers 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏿♀️ are primarily used for self representation. And many groups had to fight for their emojis: hijabi women, people with disabilities, redheads, people with curly hair. It is still difficult to show “all” of society in emojis, because human diversity is much more variable than we can show in little pictures: Where I can just say “family” in English and may mean many different constellations, in an emoji I’d have to decide on the number, gender and skin color of all the family members, and that doesn’t even begin to cover all the facets. A real language is much more flexible that way. #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

Spotify automatically found some copyrighted music in this episode and took it down. I think I have fair use on my side because only a portion of the song was used and it was the topic of the discussion. I need to figure out what to do here because talking about music is the whole basis of this podcast.

You can’t escape politics; especially not in #StarTrek. But this also means, that this is a good topic for a #TrekTriviaTuesday question.

“I’m like a cheerleader for geniuses,” Trump started
before almost immediately switching the topic.
“Now there’s a thing called TikTok, have you heard of it?”
Trump recalled a segment he had seen recently on Fox Business’s Mornings With Maria.
“It was announced about two days ago, the new numbers just came out.
Do you know who the number one person on TikTok is by far?
Trump. Me.
“I’m number one.
Like Taylor Swift was number 11.
I’m number…

One of my goals on social media is to put myself "on the record" for opinions and predictions.
There's lots of reasons I do this, far too much to explain in 500 words.
One reason is to force myself to examine the beliefs that steer my behavior, both consciously and unconsciously. Another is to gain self-awareness on just how often I'm... wrong.
I have more half-finished thoughts on this topic percolating in my head, but that's enough for one day.

@… humans still make mistakes that, unless you have at least *some* previously acquired knowledge on said topic, are believable.
FreeBSD-related mistakes such as:
― ZFS is not default
― ZFS uses more space than UFS.

We’re not up to the interesting part yet.
My part in Minnebar is helping to create the schedule. We don’t hand-place talks in timeslots, or create “tracks” by topic. Instead, all the attendees vote, indicating •all• the sessions they’d like to see (as many or as few as they want to check off), and we generate a schedule from the votes. The schedule attempts to minimize attendee time conflict regret. That’s it.
(That process is interesting, but it’s not what this thread is about!)

It's a good book - well written for the most part and focusing on an important and understudied topic. Hopefully it will inspire others to do similar work.
That's what I want to say in this book review. Now I just need to do it with an addition 772 to 972 words.

There are a lot of possible explanations for this:
Maybe the people who aren’t interested in AI also happen to vote for more sessions. (At a quick prod at the data, penalizing votes from people who voted for large numbers of sessions does not seem to change the conclusions above, but I haven’t investigated this thoroughly.)
Maybe AI is a more fragmented topic due to its newness, and interest has not coalesced, leading to a large number of small sessions. (But again, •total• votes for AI, including the whole long tail, were proportionally smaller.)

Is there any situation in life where it is okay to tell somebody extensively your opinion about a topic - unasked - without giving them the chance to respond?
asking for a friend ...
I find it quite hard not to react with a rude "thanks, but did I ask for your monologue?"

Starting the day with going through the #bergwelten magazine once more. Sometimes I wish I'd knew the focal length of the photos.
Later we did two nice walks near #dietramszell and enjoyed spring and the sun. Wrist is also feeling better.
We saw really a lot of cyclists. But …
