@rickrau @mdyshel yall need to switch your servers. #mastodon.social has to shut down his server (family illness) and it doesn't seem like he has the time+energy to hand off the domain name or server

@adamasnemesis gravity not only accelerates you, but applies the "regen" brakes too! So a frictionless (maglev) train track could go back and forth with negligible energy consumption despite stopping at either end to let people on and off, like a playground swing set or skate park half pipe.

@jxself @evan I think you had it right the first time. OP's just happy to see that others feel they share some responsibility for affecting the climate with their personal actions

@adamasnemesis there's no limit to hot, there is a limit to cold... absolute zero.

@DarkoV @apps I wish there was another level of soft-mute like the "#mute for 7 days" option, that would randomly allow a bit of "other" #perspective to penetrate my #bubble. A recommendation #algorithm, I know. But one that I have control over.#mastodon #FediApps

@stux A German company does this with all employees at their Trader Joe's grocery stores in the US. Three times as many employees per square ft as other US grocers. And every single one of them likes to chat.#HappyEmployees #Labor #PositiveSumGame #RegenerativeEconomics

@grammargirl isn't Capitalize differrent from UPPERCASE. In python it's `.title()` and `.upper()`

@grammargirl I don't keep up with style guides so your post made me second guess my gut. My brain says that the word most likely to follow "uppercase" is "characters" (I read Python all day long). So I checked the stats in English books and the rank order is:1. ... letters2. ... characters3. ... words4. ... titles5. ... names(singular nouns rank the same, right after each plural noun)https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=uppercase+letter,uppercase+letters,uppercase+character,uppercase+word,uppercase+words,uppercase+titles,uppercase+names&year_start=1920&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 #ComputationalLinguistics #NLP #WordUsage #Statistics #English

@grammargirl Makes sense, because people talk about "words" more often than they talk about "letters". The pairing "capitalized word(s)" is far more common than "uppercase letter(s)", so people often assume "all caps word" whenever you say "uppercase word", and that's what the Python programming language assumes.

@baldur It's also because general models are a new thing that has only recently become possible. #AGI was not a fruitful path for research when GDPR was being debated and signed into law. AGI is now a very real thing. It may be that #GDPR could be updated so that EU researchers and firms don't get left behind. What boundary would you propose to delineate around the _purpose_ of Bard, ChatGPT, YouChat, Siri or other virtual assistants designed to help people think better?
