Are you getting tired of all these links back to the bird site? (Consider boosting so we can get a sample of opinion.)

Your regular reminder that #MachineLearning models (or #AI, if you insist on ignoring the meaning of 'intelligence') will repeat and reinforce any #bias that already exists in society.

"Bill... Billy-Bill...", the man said in a slightly slurred voice, "the more small gods interact with the peoples, the more people they become". The man took another swing of ale.
"Ascension comes in absolute solitude," he continued, and looked up, as if counting something. "This mild debauchery I took part in with you, mortal adventures, sets me back at least a century".

"Well... Let us at least help you clean up your chambers", Bill the Ranger asked, unsealing his lips after an awkward pause.

It's exciting to see @bradkerr@dice.camp on mastodon!

He's the author of the best adventures I've ever read.

Wywern Songs has slotted right into a campaign I run that's called "The Ultimate OSRQ: Realm of Small Gods".

According to #Wikidata there are 18,218 universities worldwide.

I've worked out ( w.wiki/65$4 ) that 37 of the Wikidata entries have Mastodon accounts associated with them (not including bot accounts and sub-department accounts).

I'm confident there are more. 😀

Can you share this appeal widely, please, to either add Mastodon addresses to Wikidata items by editing directly, or letting me know of others and I'll add them.

#MastoAdmin #Abuse Is there a way to recover a post that a user has deleted? Or a way to set a user deleted post as not visible but still in the database? After poking around the database and doing some tests it looks like an erased post is removed from the “status” table and no longer exists anywhere else I can find. That leads to a way for abusers to post and delete as well as no easy way to investigate abuse.

"Excuse me," said the robot.
"How can I help?" the librarian asked.
"I have just been manufactured. My training includes everything I need to work, and to navigate society."
"That's nice."
"But..."
"Yes?
"Is there more?"
"Yes!"

If you're in the business of writing research languages, you can do a lot worse than compiling to Chez Scheme. It is, in some sense, an already existing fast implementation of the lambda calculus. You've got to know your target though!

Which is another way of saying, today I made a one word edit that makes Idris run twice as fast.
