Nvidia is buying Hugging Face for almost $13 billion in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] obbeel@kbin.earth 7 points 1 day ago

I think they're going for a GitHub/Microsoft approach. Let people enjoy themselves in a nice environment and cut them off if something does not fit/satisfy. Then call it "rogue behavior" to keep the public in check.

Preservativo (pt.wikipedia.org)
 

Preservativo, camisa de Vénus (português europeu) ou camisa de vênus (português brasileiro), conhecido informalmente como camisinha, é um contraceptivo de barreira usado durante uma relação sexual para diminuir a probabilidade de ocorrência de uma gravidez e de transmissão de infeções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST). A utilização de preservativo diminui drasticamente o risco de contrair síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (SIDA), gonorreia, clamídia, tricomoníase e hepatite B. Os preservativos oferecem também proteção contra a transmissão de herpes genital, vírus do papiloma humano (VPH) e sífilis. Existem preservativos masculinos e preservativos femininos. O preservativo masculino tem a vantagem de ser barato, de fácil utilização e estar associado a muito poucos efeitos secundários, oferecendo ainda protecção acrescida contra doenças sexualmente transmissíveis. ...

OAI university endpoints in c/ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev

OAI are API endpoints for metadata access of articles. I imagine API access is more respectful in terms of bandwidth since it's organized specifically for access by the universities?

OAI university endpoints (kbin.earth)
 

I’m using university journal portal OAI endpoints for the third time in a row to fix a typo and handle DOI lookups.

Does anyone know how disrespectful or intrusive this is considered to be?

A few years ago, I scraped arXiv and they blocked my IP almost immediately; perhaps if I had used arXiv’s OAI interface, they wouldn't have blocked me.

But I really have no idea just how disrespectful or intrusive this is!

World's largest open library calls for volunteers to scan and preserve physical books as AI companies buy, scan, and destroy them — Anna's Archive says ‘time is running out’ as ‘knowledge is permanent in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] obbeel@kbin.earth 6 points 1 week ago

Maybe there is a way to do this anonymously? Anna's Archive deals with books new and old, but maybe that 'physical-only' book that has no digital print would be the best place to start?

I remember no-eyes from #ebooks (IRCHighWay) prioritized recommendations of novels (fiction) to expand their available books, so I think that's the safest type of book to scan?

Carissa Véliz, author, "Prophecy" | Techtonic with Mark Hurst on WFMU (techtonic.fm)
 

In centuries past, predictions of the future came from oracles and seers. Today they come from tech oligarchs and their predictive AI systems, fed by mass surveillance. Carissa Véliz returns to Techtonic to discuss her book “Prophecy” about “prediction, power, and the fight for the future.”

Carissa Véliz discusses Mass Surveillance and its use on prediction analysis. It's from July but it is a good listen

Fasces in c/wikipedia@lemmy.world
[–] obbeel@kbin.earth 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No. Clearly Fasces is a symbol of Roman superiority. It makes it all the more visible when you mix it with the Roman Salute. Is the Roman Salute supposed to have two diametrically opposed concepts as well? I think not!

So, you get this old Etruscan symbol, mix it with European desire of primitivity from the early 20th century and what you get is fascism.

But you could argue: "Well, the europeans have the right to their History as well, they want to value the place they came from.". Ok, but there is a relatively small element here of using this concept to bring forward the European Right to Rule the world.

If you're european, and more specifically live in Rome, you'll know something about the Roman Empire. That the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See are Roman! So, they guide the world with the Love of their Ultimate Ruler (God) and bring this "Love" to their "brothers" from other continents!

It's easy to love when your love kills! When you don't forfeit and just occupy yourself with winning winning and dicking other people with "Love".

So, yes, there are not two sides to the Fasces. They are an european primitivist element brought forth for the European "Right to Rule". Nothing more.
