"Setting aside the problem that there is no sign of an increase in aggregate productivity from the stochastic parrot inaccurately called “AI,” and the bigger problem that higher productivity in no way translates to shorter workweeks for laborers instead of higher profits for owners, that last sentence refutes the entire book. Klein and Thompson are opposed to redistribution, which they refer to as “parceling out the present” and which they claim is “not enough,” and instead of imagining “social insurance programs,” they propose that we make “technological advances.” Here they are consistent with Obama and with Ronald Reagan before him. In The Audacity of Hope, Obama wrote that “Reagan’s central insight—that the liberal welfare state had grown complacent and overly bureaucratic, with Democratic policy makers more obsessed with slicing the economic pie than with growing the pie—contained a good deal of truth.” Abundance has little to add to that statement beyond technological enthusiasm.
Klein and Thompson do not seem to realize that their proposals would also entail large-scale redistribution and that the ills they seek to cure are the result of inequality rather than regulation, because they do not seem to understand how prices and property work in capitalism. Translating higher profits to shorter workweeks would require a scale of redistribution that far outstrips anything Bernie Sanders has proposed. Claiming that profits will be shared because they are based on “the collective knowledge of humanity” opens up a wider set of imperatives than they realize. Most profit, labor, and technology is in some way built on the collective knowledge of humanity, in the sense that education, work, and knowledge are shared, social, and cumulative, and all workers are the result of collective social reproduction."

Interview: "Deadly US Strike on Venezuelan Boat Raises Fears of Wider War"
"Trump claimed, without evidence, that the boat was carrying narcotics from Venezuela to the US."
“It was pure murder", says Greg Grandin.
"It’s bringing the logic of Gaza into the Caribbean" in terms of unaccountability, impunity & a defense notion to justify what is, in effect, just extrajudicial killing.”

New employment numbers out from StatCan, and they're not good. The student numbers are particularly grim. This summer had the third-highest rate of unemployment for students since 1976, with only 1997 and 2020 (due to the pandemic) higher.

Ieri mi si è danneggiato qualcosa a livello di apparecchio, a causa di un boccone troppo croccante.
Si è un po' piegato l'arco in un punto in cui c'è del vuoto.
Lunedì telefonerò per sapere se posso andare avanti così fino a ottobre o se devo andare a farlo sistemare.
Stamani mi sono svegliata con una forte emicrania che non passa nonostante la tachipirina.
Non so se dipenda dal problema all'apparecchio.
Comunque non passa.

@rag. Gustavino Bevilacqua @0ciX funziona anche come antidolorifico per alcuni tipi di dolore, e mi risulta anche contro alcune emicranie ma non tutte (e così a memoria come medicinale da banco era quello consigliato, quelli più efficaci contro l'emicrania sono poi con prescrizione, ma non son sicura al 100% di ricordare correttamente)
quindi insomma, serve qualcuno con competenza medica per rispondere

per i (fortunatamente) rarissimi attacchi di emicrania a me l'ibuprofene fa più effetto. di solito prendo 1 ibuprofene da 600 alla comparsa dell'aura, e cui aggiungo un paracetamolo da 1000 qualche ora dopo (e nel frattempo mi stendo al buio e in silenzio).

Höhere Sozialabgaben für Gutverdiener ab Januar geplant
Gutverdienende sollen ab Januar mehr Geld in die Sozialkassen einzahlen. Arbeitsministerin Bas hat eine entsprechende Verordnung auf den Weg gebracht, die noch von der Regierung beschlossen werden muss. Von Jim-Bob Nikschas.
Na, liebe @tagesschau ... wieder für die CxU ... oder gar die AFDumme arbeiten?
Das ist die ganz normale Anpassung ... REGELMÄSSIG ... ALLE JAHR WIEDER ... an ein steigendes Lohn-Niveau.
"Niveau" ... das ist das weiß bei euch sinkt ...
Schön, dass es einen Automatismus gibt, um die Abgabenlast für die (gehobene) Mittelschicht zu erhöhen.
Ich würde mir in dem Zusammenhang auch die Wiedereinführung der Vermögenssteuer wünschen.
Aber vermutlich kommt das nie, da die Entscheidenden selbst oder deren Wahlkampfspender betroffen wären.
Aber lasst uns lieber durch die Diskussion über Bürgergeldempfänger davon ablenken, dass Milliardäre in Deutschland so gut wie keine Steuern zahlen.

So wird’s nix. Die offizielle #Pixelfed App für die private, coprfreie und adfreie Alternative gibt’s nicht direkt im F-Droid-Store und verlinkt direkt auf den Play- und Appstore?
Augenscheinlich gibts wohl en Repository zum Einbinden. Nach 20 Minuten erfolglos aufgegeben.
Was ist so schwer daran, einfach eine Version auf der Website zur Verfügung zu stellen?
Not sure what Neo Store is, but we're working on an official F-Droid repo build, though it's a bit complicated due to some 3rd party libraries we use.
Stay tuned!

I have updated 4.gg/qr.cgi
Should not barf on large QR codes now, and now the images should be saveable (I had to make a img tag with data URL and base64 code SVG rather than just using SVG inline in the HTML!)
And has the QR code abuse examples too now.
reshared this
@kasperd @tripplehelix Indeed, I have seen some "extend the pattern of dots" attempts before, and yes, you can get away with one pixel whitespace usually. You may be able to get away with whitespace only around the targets even.
I have also played with making the padding bytes such that there is a (valid and ECC valid) pattern in the QR image itself.
It’s a Motorola phone, and I downloaded the Barcode Scanner app from Play store.
The way you constructed that QR code is slightly different from the method I imagined, but the result is the same.
If you find it interesting to play with the look of QR codes I have another idea you can try if you think it will be fun. The background for this idea is that at some point I saw somebody had made a heart-shaped QR code, which however was so broken that it was utterly unreadable.
I thought it surely must be possible to do better. And my idea was to do the following:
- First create a completely standard QR code.
- Next draw two semicircles next to the QR code - one to the right and one beneath it.
- Fill each semicircle with random black and white squares to give a visual appearance of a continuation of the grid within the QR code.
- Rotate the image 135⁰ counter-clockwise.
The result will look mostly like a heart shape and contain a fully readable QR code. The visual appearance can be improved by letting the semicircles overlap the white quite-zone of the QR code. Then it will no longer be standards compliant and might become less readable for a phone.
Another way the visual appearance could be improved would be to draw an outline around the whole thing. That outline would need to lie outside the quiet-zone on the two sides of the QR code and the same distance away from the semicircles along the rest of the perimiter.

It would all depend on the human instructions handed to the AI.
Given that Trump & Hegseth, together with their billionnaire owners (Musk, Thiel, Murdoch, et al), are fascists & likely narcissistic psychopaths, the instructions would run along the lines of:
"Maximise my rewards in terms of adrenalin highs, power achieved, money gained, & cruelty imposed.
