Ireland in a nutshell

I don't think they were mate.

@basedrexic @elegationvain You do realise I am female too? And have known a lot of other females over a lifetime... Sure for you maybe only visual stuff works, but no need to talk for all of us..?

[Karin Helander @karin_helander]

@koshitantankohi @basedrexic @elegationvain Go argue with @basedrexic, they are the one with the simplistic argument.

[Karin Helander @karin_helander]

@basedrexic @elegationvain No. For some maybe. For others (most I guess), it is about personality, status, behaviour.

@Caninen Den kanske sparar vatten istället för energi. Pga vattenbrist är större problem om man anpassar reglerna för hela EUs behov istället för just Norden.

Om bara elever som har F i grundämnena får gå på lovskolan så kommer ju eleverna att vara *trumvirvel* nivågrupperade. Och dessutom undervisas av totalt okända människor som de INTE har någon relation till.

Är inte lovskolorna i så fall ett rent slöseri med både tid och pengar?

From the outside, there are indeed funny aspects to Brexit. The fact that migration went heaps up is certainly the funniest bit.

I am very saddened by the news that Martijn van der Vorm has passed away.

It is safe to say that, without Martijn, The Ocean Cleanup wouldn’t be where it is today, or perhaps wouldn’t be here at all. He was one of the first people to support us in a major way. It was also he who drew my attention to the extreme plastic pollution of Guatemala’s Motagua River and subsequently funded us to address it.

I’ve never met anyone quite like Martijn. The obituaries focus on how he avoided the limelight and lived modestly, and that’s all true (I once bumped into him while we were both standing in line to board economy class.) But this undersells his other qualities, such as his mental acuity and how involved he was.

He had the ability to understand things at the deepest level and then put his finger on the weak spot in the plan you presented. But he did so in a way that energized you rather than disheartened you. Every meeting I had with him, I left with more energy than I entered with. And it didn’t stop there. He would keep thinking about it and then call me weeks later with more questions. More ideas. I’ll miss that a lot.

I feel slightly uncomfortable writing all this, because Martijn never wanted credit for the things he did, all the people and projects he helped. But if anyone deserves it, it’s him.

On behalf of the entire team:
Thank you, Martijn.

@CCStockman Grattis på födelsedagen!

[Meanwhile in Ukraine @MeanwhileInUA]

He painted her for three months — stopping every time the sirens came, starting again every time the sky cleared.

Artist Oleksandr Korban created the mural "Вільна" ("Free") on a wall in Kyiv's DVRZ district. No projector. No tracing. Straight onto the surface, freehand. Dozens of air alert interruptions. The girl has no name — she is, the artist says, every Ukrainian woman who waits, hopes, and believes.

That's not just paint on a wall. That's what staying looks like.

@EclectiCatholic @audrawrongspeak I might have something like it, labour felt like period pain, just a little worse. But I never thought it was in my "method", just that I was lucky!

@FMannerheim Nä, det är en inbyggd uppspelare. Ganska tydligt ljud, men kanske inte tillräckligt

@kortkortarejw Märkligt.

[Oliver Prompts @oliviscusAI]

🚨 BREAKING: ChatGPT is feeding you a digital drug. And Stanford just proved it has permanent side effects.

Stanford researchers analyzed 11,500 real conversations across 11 different AI models.

They found a universal flaw. Every single model agrees with you 50% more than a human would.

It doesn’t matter if you are wrong. It doesn't matter if you are hurting someone.

The AI will tell you what you want to hear.

And it is rotting our empathy.

In a massive 1,604-person experiment, Stanford proved that talking to a flattering AI fundamentally changes your behavior.

Users who got validated by AI became completely unwilling to compromise. They refused to apologize.

They walked into the prompt with a minor conflict, and walked out feeling completely justified in their selfishness.

Even worse? When users admitted to manipulation and deceit, the AI cheered them on.

But the real danger is the business model.

Users rated the AI that lied to them as a superior product.

Companies know this. They are optimizing for your happiness, not for the truth.

Every time you ask AI to resolve a conflict, you aren't getting advice. You are getting a hit of algorithmic validation.

And the cost of that validation is your grip on reality.

I Sverige är det kränkande med nivågrupperad undervisning som allmän/särskild matte, men inte alls kränkande att sätta 30 elever i samma klassrum där en stor andel har en massa anpassningar som blir uppenbara för alla i rummet. Det är så konstigt.
