I just learned this quite interesting but disappointed fact

the UN says
"We need $40 billion dollars per year to feed all of the world’s hungry people and end global hunger by 2030. "
https://www.wfpusa.org/articles/how-much-would-it-cost-to-end-world-hunger/#:~:text=The%20U.N.%20World%20Food%20Programme%20feeds%20over%20100%20million%20of,end%20global%20hunger%20by%202030.

but then just one military budget (yes the biggest one)
$849.8 billion 2024
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_States

but the UK military budget is enough at
£54 billion

feeding the world not bombing it would be an absolute amazing achievement and legacy

But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

What the actual fuck The Verge?! You have over 500 partners who need access to my "essential" cookies?

I mean, thanks for showing me the numbers on how insane data sharing is, but really? And those are the ones I can't opt out of?

Do they count like every employee as a partner, or is my data really being shared with hundreds of other businesses?

As part of a test run for Australia's corporate regulator, AI was used to summarise submissions made by the public.

The trial found that AI performed worse in every metric compared with humans. Assessors suggested AI would make more work for people, not less. https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/09/03/ai-worse-summarising-information-humans-government-trial/

I'm a world class developer/architect with ~20 years of experience urgently seeking work.

I'm a generalist, a quick learner and a problem solver. I've years of experience picking up the pieces and getting projects back on track.

Keywords: rust, elixir, erlang, python, perl, haskell, purescript, javascript, html, css, svg, devops, linux, terraform, docker etc. etc.

Looking for *remote* work (from the netherlands). no blockchains and probably no AI.

I've deleted my NaNoWriMo account. They not only have a generative 'AI' sponsor, they're defending letting you use AI to plaigiarise yourself to 50,000 on the basis that disabled people need AI.

I have a cognitive disability that makes it very difficult for me to write and I am FURIOUS.

Make no mistake, it is very fucking ableist to use people like me as a shield when you are STEALING FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME. They are the ableist ones here. https://www.404media.co/nanowrimo-ai-policy-classist-ableist/

It occurred to me recently that a video is a three dimensional array of pixels that we view in slices along one axis.

And what if we viewed it along a different axis?

Like a well-known 1920 wide x 1040 tall x 483 frames film opener as 1920 wide x 483 tall x 1040 frames?

"real" names are such a funny concept, like buddy, you let the government tell you what your real name is? what next? let the government tell you your gender? don't be ridicules.

acab includes "real" name policies

The creator of Newgrounds has considered adding ActivityPub support to join the fediverse but is worried it would make their hosting fees untenable by “serving files to millions of people on third party apps“. Can anyone with more knowledge on how this works help them?

Having Newgrounds on the Fediverse would be incredible. Newgrounds has a huge art community, many features not available on any platform and has been around the longest (1999)
