[Discussion] What anime triggered a new interest in you?
Watching A Place Further Than The Universe plus some positive experiences at around the time I first watched it made me appreciate certain types of travel and going outside.
My rating history reflected it. Originally, it's an almost-masterpiece 9/10. Now it's my #4 best overall and a regular to-rewatch.
Sword Art Online came out either before or around the same time Oculus did it’s kickstarter and I’ve been a VR degenerate ever since.
I never even thought about VR before that, but the idea that I could one day be totally immersed in a world where I could do anime level stuff is something that still sounds so cool. I’ll probably be dead before we get SAO level VR, but some experiences like VR in racing games are already incredibly immersive.
Stunning new data reveals 140% layoff spike in July, with almost half connected to AI and 'technological updates'
Stunning new data reveals 140% layoff spike in July, with almost half connected to AI and ‘technological updates’
The summer of layoffs is real, according to the July monthly "job cut" report from employment consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas.Nick Lichtenberg (Fortune)
One thing I keep missing in these AI layoff articles about the United States is that a huge percentage of tech workers lost their jobs because of tax changes. It was a little known tax code that was modified.
The tax code allowed a deduction of worker salaries and benefits if they were engaged in pure research. This write off is what powered many of the invocations from the USA and was done for decades. The change mandated this be deducted over ten years instead of the next year.
For a long time, companies could write off the cost of salaries on their taxes, if the workers were doing research. This was changed by the republicans, and most of these private research departments closed . It was what caused a lot of the major layoffs this year in the mega corps.
That, coupled with the public research departments being laid off , caused a cascade bouncing off entry level jobs in tech.
Very little of this has to do with AI, and I think the misinformation is driven by a combination of AI hype, and PR by some companies laying off workers.

I'd recommend trying Ollama+OpenCode to DIY removals. It can at least help find the sites and their removal request pages, but then you'd need to solve captchas and do the requests.
--
Some of these PII removal companies go to great lengths to request removals on your behalf without providing ANY additional information that the data broker does not already have.
The problem is that nobody can tell which PII removal companies act responsibly and which ones are merely data brokers themselves.
Even the ones trying their best to not distribute more information about you need only to screw that up once, and that single incident of human error leads to a neverending cycle of leaks between downstream data brokers.
It's the perfect industry for local AI agents to replace, but the only way to know you're properly requesting removals without making matters worse is to do it yourself.
Daughter of Holocaust survivors may leave job at Columbia due to university’s new antisemitism definition
For years, Marianne Hirsch, a prominent genocide scholar at Columbia University, has used Hannah Arendt’s book about the trial of a Nazi war criminal, “Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil,” to spark discussion among her students about the Holocaust and its lingering traumas.
But after Columbia’s recent adoption of a new definition of antisemitism, which casts certain criticism of Israel as hate speech, Hirsch fears she may face official sanction for even mentioning the landmark text by Arendt, a philosopher who criticized Israel’s founding.
For the first time since she started teaching five decades ago, Hirsch, the daughter of two Holocaust survivors, is now thinking of leaving the classroom altogether.
“A university that treats criticism of Israel as antisemitic and threatens sanctions for those who disobey is no longer a place of open inquiry,” she told The Associated Press. “I just don’t see how I can teach about genocide in that environment.”

Ukraine says it hit oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov, Moscow says one dead
Ukraine’s military has said it struck an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov region in an overnight drone attack, causing explosions and destruction, according to an army statement, as daily aerial exchanges intensify with diplomatic momentum to end the war in play.
Saratov’s governor said on Sunday that one person was killed and several residential apartments and an industrial facility were damaged, but did not mention the oil refinery being struck.
Ukraine’s military also said on Sunday that it had taken back a village in the Sumy region from the Russian army which has made significant recent gains there.

FEP-9098: Custom emojis
Link: codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src…
Summary
This document describes how custom emojis are implemented in ActivityPub network.
I came across a good example of the interoperability concerns today when people boosted misskey.io/notes/ab5oh70d6lai0… in to my timeline.
Here's what that looks like on the original server:
Note the emojis in the name (above the @syuilo) and the wide array of emojis at the bottom, many of which are decidedly non-square.
Here's how that renders in Mastodon:
The emojis at the bottom are missing (they're emoji reactions, not supported by Mastodon, so that's understandable). But note that the emojis from the display name are missing too, and this renders as :petthex_javasparrow:.
To everyone in the Fediverse,I'm syuilo, the creator of Misskey.
Please consider supporting Misskey — a completely free and open-source software!Misskey is not a business venture; it's developed by a small group of dedicated volunteers, and our funding is very limited.
I believe that for the health and diversity of the Fediverse, it's important to have not only a few dominant platforms but also smaller projects like Misskey.
(Imagine a world where the only web browser is Chrome — what would that be like?)In order to continue the development of Misskey and to further improve its compatibility with the broader Fediverse, your support would be greatly appreciated.

China sets its first renewable standards for steel, cement and polysilicon
BEIJING, July 11 (Reuters) - China has for the first time set renewable energy mandates for the steel, cement, and polysilicon industries, as well as for some data centres, according to a National Development and Reform Commission notice on Friday.
Beijing's renewable portfolio standards, or RPS, set out targets for the percentage of power consumption that the various industries must obtain from renewables in each province.
"Simply put: heavy industry must buy green," Fishman wrote of the new regulations. Newly built data centres in so-called national hub nodes must use at least 80% green electricity, while targets for the other industries vary by province.
Europe has standards too but so far they've done little to implement their plans and simply keep giving delays and exceptions.
A plan standard China usually means more though, as their government has more control over companies, than companies over the govenrnment. But a plan is still a plan. So let's see what China will do to execute on it.

in reply to nefarioushoneybee • • •For me there's no "get caught", and many stuff are only available trough torrent, like some old/obscure movies (some could take a week to download), other only trough DDL like some UK TV shows.
Also for automate software like Radarr/Sonarr you only have torrents or nbz

Torrent is much more resilient long term.
Not strictly torrent. But I still use eDonkey Network, and it's healthy as hell, even as all projects are almost abandoned, as long as someone it's using it you can share. The power of p2p

Thats why they go after it. It's kinda like torrenting is just tye first target, because it's so democratized. If it falls, direct downloads are next, and they're much less resilient.

in reply to nefarioushoneybee • • •You download from a bunch of other people at the same time. So if you have a 300mb/s connection and 5 people have the file and are uploading at 20mb/s, it gets a chunk of the file fron each of them, so you would download at 100mb/s.
Besides, you can pause and resume the download as much as you want without corrupting the file. So if youre dowloading a 50gb folder, you can turn your pc off, and continue later. With DDLs, the download link expires and most browsers cant resume downloads properly. Plus if the browser corrupts the download you have to start over.
The torrent uses checksums to detect corrupted parts of the file and redownloads just that small part, and in the end you get a clean file.

in reply to zeca • • •Why would you have fast internet when torrenting but slow internet when direct downloading?
If you direct download at 20-30 MB/s even a 50 GB file will finish in 20-30 min then none of that stuff about pausing matters at all
