A fun thing to do as a senior developer is to disagree with someone and then realize that their perspective of your problem is as silly as your perspective of their problem. You can just do it their way and you discover that that works just fine. Nothing matters. "Up" can mean "down" as long as we all agree on the outcome.
BFM n'a pas diffusé la cérémonie d'entrée au Panthéon des Manouchian pour des raisons de coûts: "Le prix du signal premium était très élevé", environ 50.000 euros selon Puremédias, qui a interrogé Fogiel. J'avance 2 hypothèses: la chaîne fait des économies dans le cadre des ennuis de Drahi (qui cherche à vendre), soit les moyens sont réservés au lancement de BFM2, le nouveau canal "digital".
I recommend this conference talk by Gina Likins, which uses humour to explain how to inadvertently irritate people online, and some communication strategies for avoiding this;
Communicating when speech is impossible due to a brain injury, stroke, or disease can be daunting. However, specialized #eyetracking#technology supported by #NASA has made it possible for people living with disabilities to connect with others one-on-one, over the phone, or via the internet.
I’m so glad I can finally say it, Signal developers have finally implemented the ability of creating usernames and hiding a phone number in the latest beta version of Signal for iOS, i’ve just updated this app and saw that thing, and I thought I would share it here, I think it’s so nice.#Signal#Technology#Privacy#Communication.#Blind.

Objectivity is a long-standing pillar of journalism, but its definition and application are loosely defined and humanly impossible to achieve, media experts say. Podcast guest Emily Atkin argues that an uncritical adherence to objectivity (over trust) has led to gaslighting readers about the real-world causes and urgency of the climate crisis.
In addition to my love of things #stochastic, I'm also deeply fascinated with #permanence, especially in the form of #writing. When I was young I was always imagining the kind of person who magically figured out that you could make black marks on stone, or cuts in wood, or whatever you liked translate to words. What a genius she must have been! (Yes, in my imagination it was always a woman.) People often claim that agriculture was the #foundation of #civilization. I disagree. It was permanence and precision in #communication that is the foundation of civilization. Writing, in short.
This is why I collect interesting forms of writing (like the bamboo slips I've shared in the past) as well as interesting or beautiful tools of writing. Today's little photo-essay is about the latter.
This is a so-called "eternal pencil". I have several of them, but this one I got because it's just so beautiful as well as practical. Details in the alt text as usual.

I beg your pardon; I saw only your second toot and pressed reply without looking for a first.
I think we are both right, but I had not twigged that you thought it improbable that folks might anthropomorphise the machines. In my limited experience humans have a low threshold for thinking in terms of analogy, and I suspect this leads to a low threshold for anthropomorphisation.
You're quite right about the dictionary definition of learning. I'm slightly hesitant to agree beyond that but because of my own ignorance rather than anything else: I am disinclined to call a "hard disk drive" "machine-knowledge" because it seems to me to be too close to thinking by analogy, when such is not necessary.
I know, it's a slippery slope to arguing with a reporter about learning by analogy like that famous video of Richard Feynman, or correcting one's grandchildren for being lazy using "car" as a contraction of "motor-car" (thanks Gran :P ), or readjusting one's students for saying "plane" when they mean "airplane".
As much as I wish "meta-algorithm" might be a preferred term, I realise it never will be. Forgive me; I think I replied on an optimistic day xD English teachers, indeed any linguists, everywhere will agree that language is a fickle mistress; perhaps only slightly less fickle than thought herself.
I hope it is some small consolation that I think right and wrong are constructs of the animal mind, that I accept p>0.05 as probably being real, and that we're probably both right.
