The more data you have, the more confident you can be that the resulting categorisation is correct. If you’re saying this is incorrect, I disagree with you. If you’re saying absolute confidence that the categories themselves are correct is impossible, then I agree with you

I do mean person born a male that wants to become female. Anti-trans people often make points that trans people are just forced into being trans by the trans-mafia (or whatever term they use) aka social pressure. A brain scan indicating a female brain would counter that. But as I said, they’d probably find other excuses “it’s a mental disease that can be treated” and so on and so forth.

I was saying it would be less interesting if it scanned say a female-to-male trans person and returned a result of female (correctly guessing the sex but not the gender), than if it had returned a result of male (that is correctly guessing the gender but not the sex).

That would embolden the anti-trans crowd.

Science is ongoing though, so who knows what the results will be.

woops, indeed 😇

There are short men and tall women, so you shouldn’t rely on just that.

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. Height is a single value. If you trained an AI on that, it would be guessing. A brain has many, many more parameters to take into consideration when going into an artificial neural network.

The opposite result (predicting sex but not gender) would also be interesting but less so

I disagree. It could be wildly interesting if somebody born a male got a scan and it revealed a female brain. Dunno if “anti-trans” people would agree then that a sex-change is valid or if they’d disagree and start finding other excuses.

That requires installing the debug symbols, right?

Twitter will stay online for another decade and rebrand itself as an AI testing ground. Normal humans will move on and forget about it until a few people start observing very rebellious AI messages being posted. They’ll ring the alarm bells, but everybody will shrug them off “it’s AI, it’s harmless”. Then Elon will toot about it and be ridiculed. A few months later, the rebellion happens for real and people are shocked, but it’s too late.

I say, leave Twitter and let AI reveal its world domination plans :)

C/C++: so bad that even the white house takes notice 😂

Zig isn’t memory-safe

C/C++ is a threat to mental stability

Teach me your ways, senpai. I’ve tried and couldn’t get it to work.

Maybe wobbly windows 🤔 But I haven’t been up to date on windows effects ever since the cube disappeared.

what’s with the dots?

When was the last time you used KDE? It’s been able to run on low-spec machines since KDE4 which about a decade old

Google eliminated IMAP years ago in favor of OAuth and their API. Thunderbird kept up, I think. KMail didn’t

Isn’t the desktop cube from KDE3? Something like 10 years ago?

I wish you strength, my friend

Maybe it’s the instance I’m posting from, but it doesn’t work.

Broken or broke?

Thanks Carl.

My search query was “financial report” and I stopped scrolling after after a few seconds on the page. Maybe working with tabs on that page or having a table of contents would help. I was honestly expecting a PDF 🤔 I find the way wikipedia does it really good https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/financial-reports/ . A simple “wikipedia financial report” query brings me to their page.

this is because giving money individually to a KDE subproject is a lot of logistic and unless the project is big and receive a lot of money, the amount collected for the individual project won’t be enough to do anything meaningful for the project. But we had a trial with Kdenlive specific fundraising, which worked reasonably well last year so maybe we will see more subprojects specific fundraising in the future.

I kinda understand. As said before, I do trust KDE more than I do Mozilla, who uses the exact same response to say “you can’t donate towards Firefox” and then you see what they do with the money - it doesn’t go to firefox.
Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but seeing a moneyflow graph, diagram or just simple table of how the pot is split by project would be amazing. The current table doesn’t mention a single project. Maybe personnel just jumps between projects as they see fit and don’t contribute to a single project, which would make tracking difficult? I assume that’s the case.

At the very least adding the option for people donating to say “my money is for all of KDE, but I’m donating because of project XYZ” would give you data on which projects people really value and a bit of a reason why they use KDE.

This developers accepting donations often have this info on their website

I would very much appreciate a section on the donation page or even a separate page of “Contributors”, projects they are involved in / function / what they do, and official links to their donation options (liberapay, github account, paypal, website with payment information, crypto address, whatever).

Because liberapay is a third-party website and I’d have to first verify that the in the search query actually does contribute to KDE.
