Religious Leaders Experiment With AI In Sermons
An anonymous reader quotes a report from the New York Times: To members of his synagogue, the voice that played over the speakers of Congregation Emanu El in Houston sounded just like Rabbi Josh Fixler’s. In the same steady rhythm his congregation had grown used to, the voice delivered a sermon about what it meant to be a neighbor in the age of artificial intelligence. Then, Rabbi Fix … ⌘ Read more

I’m proud to say that the code that is responsible for reading the feeds is almost finished, including: Twt Hash Extension, Twt Subject Extension, Multiline Extension and Metadata Extension. I’m fine-tuning some tests and will soon do the first buffer that displays the twts.

I’m usually comfortable keeping my hardship to myself, most especially AWAY from the internet; an act of kindness of sorts towards others, “Everyone’s got their own problems to worry about” kind of thing.. But maaan am I starting to believe creating a twitter account would be a healthy decision 🤣🤦 Read nothin’ out there, just a one way echo chamber of sorts to let that shi_ out of my chest. It seem that’s what everyone else’s been using it for all this time.

A Bsky would be even better! 😂 I’d get to shi_ post and yap all I want, allll the way from terminal and never ever have to look back at it or whatever comes out of it. But I digress…

I FU_ing despise this … whatever this is. I wish I could just wake up in some sort of parallel universe where everything is just sunshine and rainbows, alas, life would be just as meaningless.

and sorry you had to read this if you did.

Should Waymo Robotaxis Always Stop For Pedestrians In Crosswalks?
“My feet are already in the crosswalk,” says Geoffrey A. Fowler, a San Francisco-based tech columnist for the Washington Post. In a video he takes one step from the curb, then stops to see if Waymo robotaxis will stop for him. And they often didn’t.

@prologic@twtxt.net It’s hosted at home on an computer I didn’t use anymore. It worked well for a few months, and since maybe the beginning of December, it begun to be very slow. But like I said, I have no time for that now, but if I have questions when I’ll look, I’ll think of you 😅 (but I was thinking about installing a new OS before these problems, I may just do that).

I’m currently writing a tutorial (in French) to learn the basics of groff + mom to typeset generalist PDF (not manpages). It’s my nerdy project for the time being, and it grew quite larger than I anticipated (it probably will have 40 pages when finished)… not because groff is hard, but because my goal is people who never touched a formatting language, so I have to cover the basics.
