Comprar LA ATALAYA RECORTADA CONTRA EL CIELO (editorial Libros del Futuro)

Sinopsis:

Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

I love that cats that aren’t domesticated don’t meow when they grow up, but domesticated cats do because they learned humans don’t understand their natural communication, so they keep meowing beyond the kitten stage just for us. So basically cats made up a language just to talk to us. And that language is essentially baby talk.

Accurate.

Never thought I'd be writing official docs for a major open source project begging LLMs to stop fabricating surreal vulnerabilities.

Is this the future??? 😱

Hasta la vista, baby.

When people talk about "survival of the fittest" or "the crime of empathy," I want clips like this to be pressed into the sides of those people's self-serving dumbfuck heads until they cave in.

Magnífica explicación. Hay que darle cariño y leer hasta el final que es cuando todo tiene sentido. Yo también era de los que pensaba que a los ricos no haya que darles ayuda, hay que darles una eutanasia rápida, pero al convertirlo en derecho todo cambia.

Just had one of my beta readers told me, proudly, that they feed one of my novels in progress into a non-local LLM because they didn't understand where a scene came from. Readers, I can't believe I have to say this, but don't do this. I can't speak for every writer out there, but for me, I want my beta readers to actually *connect* with me through the imperfect, pantsy, chaos of my drafts. I'm letting you see the unedited bleeding onto the page. If you can't be bothered to read it, then why are you anyone's beta reader? If you don't understand something, ask! That's what being a beta reader is all about!

They justified it by saying well, giant LLM can spot plot holes in Romance novels better than I can.

If one of my freelance editors does this. I wouldn't know what to do. I don't want to pay someone for just shoving my work into an LLM. What am I even paying you for? But none of my editors have done this, yet. I'm just frustrated and I feel as if I've been betrayed, and like my beta readers don't take me seriously enough to engage in my messy, raw, unedited, texts.

You don't have to put on the red light.

A mí siempre me ha parecido que el aprendizaje tiene un coste. Que el remedio fantabuloso que te da todo sin esfuerzo era una estafa, y yo no soy un ejemplo, que tomo atajos siempre que no me interesa algo, pero aún así hay algo más en usar cerebro y cuerpo al mismo tiempo que lo mejora todo.

Escribí uno de los nombres de Dios en un pedazo de papel, se lo metí en la boca y vivió. Durante 35 años caminó ocupando mi lugar, viviendo una existencia falsa, usando mi aliento.

Cierto día ya no pude soportar la asfixia y necesité morir o recuperar mi respiración. En un momento de fuerza, borre el aleph de su cabeza, y este se desplomó. No murió tal y como mandaba la frase en su frente, porque en realidad nunca estuvo vivo.

No me había dado cuenta de cuánto barro había acumulado a lo largo de los años. Qué profunda era la vergüenza, qué pesados eran los trozos de lodo seco. Mis manos, ahora heridas y sangrantes tras desmenuzar mi golem, finalmente encontraron el pedazo de papel, largamente olvidado.

Y entonces vi que el nombre que había escrito era el mío propio.

My current conspiracy theory: Now that #letsencrypt has more or less destroyed the market for domain certificates and people are more interested in using client/user certificate, Google throws the market a lifeline by removing clientAuth from acceptable certificates in the browser context with some vague "it's about security" arm waving. #NerdTalk

Because the first step toward freedom is always the same: admitting you might be wearing chains.

@stefano AI is tech cancer. Same as capitalism is societal cancer. It is a self propelling, accellerating decline machine.

In the case of AI, it speeds up climate catastrophe, supercharges exploitation for rare materials and will lead to mass deaths.

Capitalism is the same. It slows down inventions (who says different has no idea), increases waste, lowers empathy and will destroy this planet for us.

The planet doesnt give a rats ass about it but we will be dead.

Stop AI, stop capitalism.

Ever heard of vibe coding?
It’s when the code looks fine, tests pass, vibes are good - so it goes to production. Even if it’s wide open to SQL injection.

I’ve seen it happen.
AI wrote it. Devs trusted it. Management loved it.
Nobody understood it.

We’re trading skill for speed.
And that’s how we lose our freedom.

When I was a child I didn’t know who I was. I knew who everyone told me to be, a good little Jewish boy who would grow up to be a good Jewish man. I built that boy out of mud with my hands and shaped him into the form others expected. On his forehead I wrote אמת, truth, hoping it would live a truth I didn’t understand.

I wrote a name of God on a piece of paper and placed it into his mouth and he lived. For 35 years he walked in my place, living a false life with my breath.

One day I could suffocate no longer and needed to die or take my breath back. In a moment of strength I removed the aleph from his head and he fell apart. He did not die as his forehead now read, for he was never alive.

I didn’t realize how much mud had accumulated over the years. How deep the shame was, how heavy the long dried pieces of dirt were. My hands, now torn and bleeding from breaking my golem apart, finally found the long forgotten paper.

I see the name I wrote was my own.

Es mentira. Para sacar esa cifra hacen la MEDIA, sumando los 1.259 millones que se ahorran 22.185 altos patrimonios en una año (53.000€ en un solo año) y lo suman al 0,5% del IRPF que se ahorra un currito y sacan la media.

@tux0r @samurro it is. But I can't force people to perform updates on their machines.
To be honest, this is totally protected from the lan. The only reacheable port is the 8007 (Proxmox Backup Server). btrfs performs snapshots of all the file systems at regular intervals.
While it's not great, the threat level of this (secondary) backup server is quite low.

@arosano @4somecurious Users are deleting tons of files by mistakes. I think there's a problem - I'd replace the file server with a Samba server, zfs snapshot each hour and so, but they insist on using Windows for this, so...

A group of crows are gathered and chatting. "Thanks for comic everyone! Who'd like to start? Alessandro?" "Sure!" says Alessandro "For this week's flower share I brought an apple blossom! Delicate, simple in form, modest and subtly charming". They are all admiring the flower at Alessandro's feet. "Pretty" says one. "Beautiful specimen!" continues the first crow, "One of my favourites. Thank you for sharing! Who'd like to go nex–" they are interrupted by a loud clearing of a throat. "AHEM". The group of crows looks up to see another crow, perched on a branch nearby. It swoops down, something in its talons. It lands the the middle of the group in a dramatic way, to reveal the most perfect example of a magnolia flower. The group stares in an entranced silence. The strange crow declares "I didn't prepare a speech".

@pkw copy the url of the post, put it in the search bar in your snac, it will load and you can interact with it.

Bane of the javascriptless:

Getting around anubis'd websites in (not just) links2.

If you enable the "Fake Firefox (improves privacy)" option in links2 (Setup - Network Options - HTTP options - Header options), links2 then pretends to be the tor browser, imitating the same headers and user-agent - this results in websites that use anubis to bully you and expecting the completion of some javascript challenge. If you do not enable this option, you can get around the annoying anime girl.

Presumably you could use the links2 user-agent in any other browser. I suppose this is true for lynx as well.

> Links (2.28; NetBSD 9.3 amd64; GNU C 7.5; text)

You can also use wget's user-agent, which currently lets you get past anubis as well.

> Wget/1.25.0

You can check what headers your browser is sending at https://wtfismyip.com/headers .

...

To try this in firefox - go to about:config, add `general.useragent.override' and paste in the links2 user-agent string.

Odio, detesto, me asquea recordar estas cosas. Y no puedo evitarlo. Qué rabia.

And today? The internet seems like a modern evolution of "The Game of Life." [...] The internet is now in everyone's hands, yet it belongs to no one. We no longer possess the tool; the tool (and those who control it) possesses us.

Even though I eventually edited the article to clarify that there was no organized crime involved, many comments keep insisting that, since it happened in Italy, there must be organized crime or the mafia behind it.

My workflow matches yours totally, though.

And of course, I’ve left out the worst parts of the story.

I no longer work professionally on IT, so my opinion is irrelevant here.
