‘He took to Twitter and tweeted a tweet.’

Should now be

‘He took to Xitter and xat a xit.’

The X being pronounced ‘sh’ every time.

Sorry, did you mean to reply to another comment? There is no reflection whatsoever to the comment you are replying to.

Edit: As this comment has whooshed at least 6 people:

it is very very very obvious that the article tries to manufacture outrage over one prediction model that is not publicised but avalable to the agency.

I pointed out that there is one other, equally good model unrestricted and there are about 20 other models that are equally not listed as restricted. Again, the restriction refers to publicising, not to government usage.

I hope this helps the understanding of crapwittyname@lemm.ee and his friends as I don’t think it makes sense to break this down simpler.

Sorry, what a shit, rage bait article is this?

… it was deemed in a National Hurricane Center (NHC) report [PDF] to be one of the two “best performers,” the other being a model called IVCN (Intensity Variable Consensus).

OK, what about IVCN? Is this available? We can assume it is as is not mentioned any more in the article. Also skimming the report it’s not like the other reports are wildly inaccurate/unusable.

Asked whether the NOAA deal affected the release of information about Hurricane Helene, Buchanan said, “HCCA is one of many computer models that forecasters use at the National Hurricane Center. NHC forecasters use a variety of model guidance, observations, and expert knowledge to develop the best and most consistent forecast, along with watches, warnings and other hazard information for use by the emergency management community, the public, and other core partners and decision makers.”

So the outrage is hot air over nothing. Got it.

Such incidents are invariably the product of organizational failures, and most major crowd disasters could have been prevented by simple crowd management strategies.

When was this ever in doubt?

Do better.

Edit: Suggesting not to regularly post right wing toilet paper gets a flood of downvotes?

Well I’m trapped in it (purchased software, connected devices). The fence is knee-high at most though.

I’m using both iPhones and Android phones (vanilla and rooted), the only valid point you make is about using themes. I belong to to the 99,9% of users who don’t bother.

You forgot some important feature that Android phones have: They don’t pester you too much about privacy: they allow per default to use the GPS, message you, etc. Also they come with a lot of unneeded apps preinstalled, some of these being impossible to deinstall

If Döpfner/Springer are behind Politico it is fucking poison.

In Germany even calling the the emergency numbers frivolously is a felony. An ambulance is for emergencies. if you call them because you don’t feel like taking a cab somebody else might die because the ambulance can’t reach them in time. That being said that conservative chud is still a fucking idiot.

Yep, it’s a felony to even call the emergency number frivolously.

You need to stop feeding the trolls.

Possibly. It’s hard to know without seeing the numbers and assessing output quality and volume.

Also it’s not unheard of that some bigwig wastes millions of company €€ for some project they fancy. (Billions if they happen to be Elon)

The LLMs they train on their code will only be accessible internally. They won’t leak their own intellectual property.

Prost!

Das heilige römische Reich deutscher Nation has entered the chat.

Both have the same ‚distance‘ to Munichen albeit changing differently. The English pronunciation is an abomination though. Moon-Jen would be preferable from my POV.

Guy that named it called it Aluminum, Alumium, and Aluminium. Aluminium stuck, even in the US.

Then some weirdo types decided they were in charge of naming things in the US decided it needs to be Aluminum. It took them about 50-90 years to succeed.

I think this works better when the numbers are not equal:

There are a thousand reasons to move out of California but there are a million reasons to not go to Texas.

It should be very obvious that I have kids just as well as it is obvious that you seem to be outsourcing parenting.

Of course kids are different, that’s true for every living being. Of course setting boundaries is hard, in my observation it requires way more that 2-3 times teaching - sometimes way way more. Especially when it’s an important thing that’s also fun like „don’t run across the (busy) street” or “don’t touch the hot thing” or whatever is going on with your phones.

Just to be clear by the age of 3-4 a child should be aware of the concept of not taking what belongs to others including their pictures.

If your SO was fine with their phone being used to take nudes of them it would not be an issue. However in your 1st comment you state they are not.

The kids is old enough to understand boundaries and the word “no”. If that behavior is limited to your own household then fine you do you. It never is though.
