This recent @TechCrunch article about a new social network for creatives and artists makes me wonder what sort of features are missing for Fediverse alternatives like @pixelfed.
The Glassworker is a really intriguing feature-length anime-style film from #Pakistan 🇵🇰.
As a friend of mine observed, the studio did some interesting design choices that obviously was meant to appeal to an international audience. The depicted nation appears to be fictional but has elements of European and Middle Eastern cultures in it.
I became aware of this Reddit post from over a year ago and I can’t decide if this is a joke (to get some viral lulz) or actually real because some bosses can be unbelievably toxic.
Big news in the #AI world: Current and former employees of #OpenAI and other AI companies like #DeepMind and #Anthropic warn of ethical and safety risks and want a way to publicly whistleblow about these without fear of retaliation.
I’m dismayed but not really surprised that there are a lot of self-righteous and homophobic comments on pride-related posts on this other social network that’s very popular in my country. 😒
I often struggle with the #ShipOfTheseus problem when modeling buildings and the like in #Wikidata. At what point does something get ‘too’ different that you need to split items and link them with each other with “[structure] replaces” (P1398 or P1365) and “[structure] replaced by” (P167 or P1366) properties. 🤔
@seav i puzzle with this in OHM as we try and represent changes over time. this is of my big things, really - because we want to bridge OHM data to wikidata items and it can be hard at times to find the correct matches because of editorial choices.
@seav the British Ordnance Survey actually have documented rules about when one of their persistent identifiers (toids) should replace another when buildings are extended or heavily modified.
I tend to worry more about : "what is a building?". My exemplar is the Louvre, where even the recognisable components, such as the Cour Carré have a complex building history extending over a hundred years or more.
It's not unusual to find mundane examples, I was in one today (4 addr/2 str/1 office).
#TIL that there were two airports so close to each other but located on different sides of the Israeli–Jordanian border that a commercial pilot mistakenly landed in #Aqaba, #Jordan 🇯🇴 instead of #Eilat, #Israel 🇮🇱 in November 1986. At that time, both countries were technically at war with each other.
Finally tried #OpenAI’s GPT-4o chatbot and asked it about my go-to LLM topic (my favorite #CahillConcialdi map projection). It gave a factually incorrect answer. 🤷
