Can someone #ELI5 why it's not possible to migrate #Mastodon content? I know being able to take your social graph is a very valuable thing, but having to rebuild your digital footprint from scratch seems like a wild omission when it comes to portability of data.

ELI5: what gives any state "the right to exist" or "the right to defend itself" ?

So LLMs are cheap, are they?
Since I don't know beans about AI and LLMs, what is your opinion of the above blog post?

But if they are so cheap, why does one need to poison half of Memphis, TN?

Or are "external" costs simply not part of the equation?

@killyourfm Jokes aside (I'm getting that part), can anyone explain non-native speakers like me what the sign is supposed to mean? I'm super clueless. Please explain it like I'm five years old #eli5 .

"Le domaine de plus de 90 hectares (...), est exploité par une société agricole du même nom, détenue à 99 % par Olivier Bouygues. Le pourcent restant est partagé à moitié entre son épouse Brigitte et son fils Cyril."

Quelqu'un peut-il m'expliquer la fonction d'un tel montage financier ? #ELI5

A fascinating and approachable way to see and other government spending in perspective. In short, the cuts are for show, even if they have real effects. Like a household cutting the subscription to only allow a single screen at a time for the next year, while removing the person watching how much is spent monthly and stopping the acceptance of overtime pay for the primary earner.

Can anyone explain Trotskyism to me without using a ton of jargon that no one without a degree in political science understands? I don't know why that would be a difficult thing to do, but for some reason it seems to be (I feel a rant incoming in the replies, feel free to skip that part).

I upgraded archeryutils to use #numpy #typing more 'properly'.
I found the docs and other sources challenging when it came to implementation and examples, so here are my observations and an #ELI5 summary of the bits I felt were missing in the hope it might help others: jackatkinson.net/post/numpy_ty

Comments welcome.

💡 So next time you see smooth ups and downs in your KPI charts or economic forecasts, remember: it might just be a rocking horse reacting to a bunch of random hits.

Can someone #eli5 for me how is the #Nicole #FediverseChick spam possible? Not asking for how does the fediverse works but the fact that this one, documented, simply looking spam campaign is so successful? What if fediverse would actually face real, targeted, massive, sophisticated spam campaign? My gut feel is that we would not have a good time really fast. Or?

Maybe some #Android / #iOS developer can #ELI5 this for me:
- When I get *some* links to Spotify, they open on my device inside Spotify App. This is correct and always wanted behaviour.
- When I get *some other* links (maybe when receiving from different apps?) they will just open in browser.
- And it's a major PITA then to transfer those somehow to native Spotify App. "Easiest" being to login to Spotify in browser, let the playlist play, switch to Native App and pick it up from there.

1) Is there a trick to make Spotify links open in Spotify *always*?
2) Is this, in principle, hard to do right? Why?
3) This obviously applies in general to any App link. While Spotify hints are appreciated, I would like to know generic solution.

@dangoodin ELI5, why can't speculative prediction be isolated on a separate enclave and loaded dynamically into memory at the point where there is no doubt that Josh is typing his credit card number? Why is the sensitive data available in-memory.

And yes, I have no idea how etched stone can write poems. Thus the #ELi5
