Hot take: ISO standards do not meaningfully matter to me, because an extremely impoverished, unbanked person cannot freely access their contents from a smartphone or library computer.

Therefore, I go out of my way to avoid referring to them or relying on them in anyway.

I like how we took something computers were masters at doing, and somehow fucked it up.

ChatGPT 40 › 9.11 and 9.9 - which is bigger 9.11 is bigger than 9.9. subtract them To subtract 9.9 from 9.11, you perform the following calculation: 9.11 - 9.9 = 0.21 use python The result of subtracting 9.9 from 9.11 in Python is -0.79. This discrepancy is due to the way floating-point arithmetic is handled in Python, which can lead to small precision errors. The actual intended result should be 0.21. (›-)

@ZySoua of course they do, they have to show the world how they died ;)

@killyourfm I am considering getting one of these handhelds, I am still a bit conflicted between the steam deck and the legion go S though.

@GossiTheDog you as well 😆

@gsuberland @voltagex if you do I would certainly be in the market for one, especially if it has a 100w PD output ;)

@nixCraft amazon had another mechanical turk scheme: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-04-03/the-humans-behind-amazon-s-just-walk-out-technology-are-all-over-ai

@cR0w @jerry that will be fun

@TimWardCam @0xabad1dea payroll is generally done by the company itself over here.

@bert_hubert most likely something to do with military purposes,
Especially since the current dependence on American GPS is a risk, now they just need to decrease the dependence for spy & communication satellites.

Helpfully, the Dutch government commissioned an English language report reviewing their nuclear power plant options, by Amentum. It contains lots of interesting things, like that US companies would like to use US nuclear safety standards in Europe: https://berthub.eu/tkconv/getraw/2025D22013

technical, regulatory, safety and security expertise offered under the G2G would be most effective if the nuclear
reactor technology vendor and main EPC contractor were US entities already operating under US regulatory
regimes. Further, the Polish government was expressly required to “endeavour to obtain clearance from the
European Commission and competent Polish authorities, as appropriate, that the financing of the Program and the
selection of the main nuclear reactor technology vendor and the main EPC contractor do not need to undergo an
open market procedure”. This requirement to sole source a US technology vendor and civils contractor effectively
pointed to WEC and we understand that the relevant Polish government relied upon a specific exemption to
circumvent the relevant EU procurement law which would otherwise have required the Government of Poland to
run a tender process. By relying on this specific exception, the Polish government was able to sole source WEC.
While this sole source route has secured a viable technology vendor for the new nuclear programme in Poland, it
has since become clear that the absence of a competitive process has resulted in a protracted and stagnated
negotiation between technology vendor and owner entity where in practice the owner has very little commercial
leverage to negotiate a balanced comme

@fschaap @niels dat is redelijk normaal vaak worden e-mail adressen gewoon als een excel spreadsheet verkocht

@0xabad1dea so it seems someone is still keeping up the practice of mithridatism in the current day and age.

@jpmens that is certainly some info.

@egeltje dit soort brieven maar ook telefoontjes zijn al jaren zo’n beetje de standaard, zeker als zzp’er ben je hier gevoelig voor sinds vele zzp’ers geen brievenbus adressen of aparte telefoonnummers gebruiken.

Nederlands kabinet overweegt inzet AI om externe inhuur ict'ers terug te dringen Het Nederlands kabinet kan besparen op de inhuur van extern ict-personeel door een deel van de werkzaamheden te vervangen door technologieën als AI. Dat adviseren onderzoekers in een rapport in opdracht van de overheid. https://tweakers.net/nieuws/234150/nederlands-kabinet-overweegt-inzet-ai-om-externe-inhuur-icters-terug-te-dringen.html

@peaklabs_dev I hope you had a nice vacation?
