I don’t know if all do, but the few French people I had pizza with, all of them used knife and fork.

In a nice Italian restaurant in Berlin, all the people I saw used knife and fork, I did too not to fit but those pizzas had a crazy thin base and a lot of sauce and things on top, trying to pick a slice with the hand would end very badly, so maybe in other places the people would have used the hand.

I’ll have my first Korean exam this weekend. It is a very basic one done in the academy I’m enrolled, but I’m nervous nonetheless.

We have difficulties even between regions in the same country. There is a TV series called The day of the Jackal where the British main character is married to a woman from Cadiz and they live there and interact with her family.

I couldn’t understand the woman and her family, I had to use the English captions to follow the story.

Me at a congress about technology and medicine.

Presentation about future of AI in medicine.

The speaker complains that current European laws blocks progress.

The laws? GDPR, medical data protection, and privacy.

In that congress there were two sides on AI in healthcare, one making emphasis on improving care and outcomes and huge emphasis on privacy and security, and the other envisioned a Medical Minority Report/Big Brother-like future where there is zero human connection with the patient.

There are a lot of companies that have migrated to Google and only kept a few Office licenses for cases that MSWord is imperative in order to do properly their job (eg. exchange documents with third parties that only accept docx and the compatibility with GDocs is not perfect).

It depends on the cost and other factors used to sweeten the deal.

And w.r.t. Teams, I never had a good experience with it (regarding virtual meetings), meanwhile I never had an issue with Google Meet.

Well, I usually focus on the side quests 😓

It doesn’t matter how good is internet connection nowadays, the source in the server is still encoded losing some quality.

Tried to watch Batman Begins in HBO Max, despite being offered as 4K UHD, the loss of information was noticeable on my OLED tv, specially the blacks (as you know, there is almost no black colour in Batman /s).

A friend of mine lend me his Nolan’s Batman trilogy on BR 4K UHD and it was like night and day.

Since the lbs I’m buying physical for movies that I like the most and want to watch them in the highest quality possible.

Not as much as DDR5, but DDR4 has increased its price a lot.

I bought 128GB on Amazon in 2024 for around 240€, went to the product page recently and it is around 1100€.

I did not experience it personally, but in Spain LaLiga is forcing ISPs to do the same and lots of websites get fucked in the process.

In some places it is CSAM and in others it is being working into convert into law.

I think the issues are:

• It can pass as real
• Unlike run-of-the-mill cartoon porn, real photos of children (even not CSAM) are involved, either in the training or as input for the generation

“We repeat the experiment with a newer dataset and act like we are the first doing this kind of experiment”

“We talk about possible applications in the future writing like your run-of-the-mill generalist newspaper”

“Another article resuming other articles”

Gentle taps on your head

You are a good girl

Where are those girls at the end of the pipeline?

I want to praise them.

I swear that there has been instances of a season 2 being cancelled before airing the first one.

This, this finally made me reach back my LG TV and disconnected the Ethernet cable.

Why an HOA would deny access to the ISP?

I’m not from the states and the HOA stories I’ve read are crazy, but all were about aesthetics and how supposedly hurts neighbourhood value.

Fiber/cable doesn’t go buried hidden from sight? A place that doesn’t have modern internet connectivity doesn’t have its value negatively impacted?

I cannot unsee it

Didn’t the Stasi mass surveillance the mail opening the letters carefully with steam, take copies and reseal making it hard to notice that it was opened?
