@torb And why not just use the shallow functions by default?

@yehor I did it. I wanted to reduce the components a command has to travel to trigger a simple light. And also reduce the amount of components which can fail. In addition, it made this easier https://github.com/TheNoim/OfflineShelly

I hate it. #swift #macos #fskit

SoundSource 6 is just a few days away! If you’re not already using SoundSource, you can purchase version 5 now and be upgraded to version 6 when it arrives, free of charge.

If you are already using SoundSource, you’re going to love version 6. Coming very, very soon!

@nerdinfekt Japan wird gerne in westlichen Medien idealisiert. Mir hat das schon immer etwas aufgestoßen. Ich habe mir vor längerer Zeit mal das Buch „Was Sie dachten niemals über Japan wissen zu wollen“, was viele Dinge humorvoll darstellt, geholt.

Last week in a seminar we discussed a text that was largely about sexual violence, including mass rape during war. Heavy stuff.

One student admitted they had not read the text but worked off a ChatGPT summary.

They had no idea the text was about sexual violence. ChatGPT withheld that information.

This wasn’t just a minor error nor a typical LLM hallucination.

About a third of the text, arguably its most important part, went completely ignored because it didn’t match OpenAI’s content policies

Got a letter back from my bank. Instead processing my request, they want to send a letter to my old address to make sure I don’t live there. I received this one, so clearly I live here. Genius.

Im Sommer habe ich hier einen Toot gesehen, wo jemand nach einer Platform suchte, auf der "überholtes" Schulwissen gelistet wird. Also man gibt sein Abschlussjahr ein, und sieht dann welche Dinge aus dem #Lehrplan inzwischen nicht mehr stimmen.
Leider gab es sowas anscheinend nicht. Also habe ich jetzt einen Prototyp gebaut, den ihr unter https://überholt.schule finden könnt.
Habe aber beim Anlegen schon gemerkt, wie schwierig es ist, solche Dinge zu formalisieren. #Schule #Wissenschaft

Mood today (shameless copied from coworker) #WebDev #Safari

Is there a way to contact the #Safari / #WebKit Team without going through the bug report process?

@dcid 😔 But I still hope we will get the update soon.

I see all the posts about #mastodon 4.5, but my instance is still on 4.1.24

@thevhswizard Conan still puts out around 37-40 episodes and a movie each year

Making changes to a data model at work, and touching an object holding social media links. Let’s see if we can merge in mastodon without any comments at code review

Lol.
