  • French politician told a group of Russians: "My party will make sure Ukraine can never join NATO or the European Union. NATO is a military alliance just seeking trouble"

  • Seems to be the French equivalent of Germany's Sahra Wagenknecht. Also nominally left-wing populist, but pro-Russia and taking weird rightwing talking points.

  • "his 27-year marriage with two Russian women"

    I didn't know that was even legal.

  • What is one or more pieces of media you've consumed that kept making more content but needed to just end?

    Jump

  • The Belgarion novels by David Eddings. It would have done well as a trilogy, but the initial five-book series was OK as well. And then came The Malloreon, or The Quest for More Money. I finished it because I've got a bit of a completionist streak, but not because it was good.

    And then I found out what kind of person Eddings was.

  • 90% of Prostate Cancer Tumors Contained Microplastics

  • All tumours, no exception, contain dihydrogen monoxide.

  • Scientists create universal nasal spray vaccine that protects against COVID, flu, and pneumonia

  • Headline "protects against".

    Lede paragraph: "could one day protect against".

    Article: "in mice"

  • Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"

    Jump

  • The most common pushback on the car wash test: "Humans would fail this too."

    Fair point. We didn't have data either way. So we partnered with Rapidata to find out. They ran the exact same question with the same forced choice between "drive" and "walk," no additional context, past 10,000 real people through their human feedback platform.

    71.5% said drive.

    So people do better than most AI models. Yay. But seriously, almost 3 in 10 people get this wrong‽‽

  • Gentoo Linux begins Codeberg migration to phase out GitHub repos

    Jump

  • I must have been living under a rock, because I didn't even know that codeberg existed. I've just created an account there, added my ssh key, and successfully pushed a project there. Will be migrating as much as possible (focusing on code that might actually be interesting to others) over the weekend. Thanks!

    Tucker Carlson 'detained' in Israel as passport taken from him after interview

    Jump

  • I was there years ago for a conference. I didn't do anything weird and still, just after the metal detector, officials took my passport and interviewed me. I wasn't a very seasoned traveller at that point, so it felt a bit scary.

  • What dating apps are really optimizing. Hint: it isn’t love

    Jump

  • The apps have been very kind to me.

    On Tinder, I met my GF from 2017 to 2022. We had a lot in common, had some really great times, but the long-distance thing in the end was too much, so when she suggested opening up the relationship, I went back on the apps, and after an open relationship phase, we decided to shift from a romantic relationship to friendship. We're still good friends, though - I saw her last Thursday when she was in my city.

    During our open phase, I met some lovely people (two on Bumble, one on tinder) who for one reason or another weren't open to a committed relationship, but there was no harm done - we spent good time together and drifted naturally apart once I started a relationship that turned monogamous. No hard feelings on either side.

    On Tinder I also met my current (forever) partner. Amazing, low-conflict relationship. We live together and I've kind of stepped into the dad role for her son. We met in December 2021, chatted for three months and then started seeing each other, and soon became exclusive. I get along brilliantly with her parents, as does she with mine. We're absolutely sure that we're together for life.

    I never felt that the apps were leading me into cheap, disposable relationships. I never had issues of "What if the next perfect person is just one swipe away?"
