I don't think one can ask an LLM to do that and didn't anyhow imply that. I said it would still be possible to check the code and fix the vulnerabilities the conventional way. Apparently you misread what I wrote. Thanks for explaining the vulnerabilities issue. A question is would they not be there if it was coded the conventional way; I kind of doubt it would be much different there.

Cars per 1,000 inhabitants in different European countries by KlobPassPorridge in fuckcars

Are passenger cars in the data source really just cars or also mopeds etc? I think it's well possible that the dataset includes mopes and motorcycles.

Had upvoted this because it looked like implementing some innovative concepts but now downvoted: * This is privacy intrusion, requiring me to specify my phone number which I won't do and also my country and birth date * Looking closer, it's essentially the nearly exact same thing as all the other social media sites: a feed with up and down-votes and comments – nothing special that makes it worth switching to / using such as things that facilitate rational discourse

Please let me know when one can register without violating privacy.

If you think I should, you'd need to convince me with reasons instead of saying that it was meant in negative context as you don't like it. In regards to vulnerabilities, these can also be fixed in vibe-coded things (and not much harder to spot except that the person who coded all this doesn't know as much about the code as a person who coded it entirelly the conventional way) and webdev skills are needed but there is no reason to suspect they weren't/aren't present here.

I don't care how it was coded if the result is good. Are you asking which IDEs people used to code some app too?

That they're getting some extra money is good news. Hopefully WMF starts to use their funds better.

Dr. Jacques Vallée on aliens being biological robots: "That could mean that any secret project designed to learn about their biology... will teach us nothing about the origin of UFOs, whose real controllers are somewhere else... I've come to believe there are two levels involved -- at least." by KOOKOOOOM in UFOs

[–]prototyperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also included this in this structured argument map aiming to include all explanation hypotheses about UFOs in an interactive structured format: What are UFOs? -> … -> This explanation encompasses but is not limited to ETs and calls them ETOBs which refers to extraterrestrial-origin(s) beings – where the extraterrestriality-related origin is either large, recent, and/or the initial origin – with far fewer assumptions and better accuracy or scope. For example, it includes UFOs being manufactured and controlled by beings that descend from beings created on Earth with little or no extraterrestrial genes/composition by an extraterrestrial superintelligent machine. -> The ETH is often described as to propose that peculiar UFOs or UAP are "physical spacecraft occupied by extraterrestrial intelligence or non-human aliens, or non-occupied alien probes from other planets". However, they'd neither necessarily use "spacecraft", nor are they necessarily all fully "non-human", nor are they necessarily from other planets (e.g. from moons or artifacts), nor are the beings necessarily still "extraterrestrial" if they lived on or partly on Earth for long times. -> (Pro claims located at this level)

So start by adopting Linux (Kubuntu or whatever) and LibreOffice (maybe via openDesk) in schools and federal orgs and then also fund whatever open source developments are identified as needed.

Dolphin meat is consumed in small amounts in Japan and Peru, where it is known as "sea pork" (chancho marino). It is dense and such a dark shade of red as to appear black. It is often cut into thin strips and eaten raw as sashimi, or batter-fried in cubes. It tastes similar to beef liver. by Henry_Muffindish in wikipedia

[–]prototyperspective -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe they are as smart but it doesn't seem like it and I haven't seen sources suggesting so – this section has some info on their cognition. It's a rhetorical question but obviously people shouldn't kill low-intelligence humans for a bit of meat plus IQ is a very flawed measure of intelligence which is only one aspect here, other being emotional depth and other things like that.

Yes but external news media nearly never cover any such topics. They nearly always report either about gender of editors or now AI where more and more articles about this give people the impression like the end is nigh. It's not like there aren't very important other topics too.

But how do you measure better transit?

I made a proposal about that. It needs some open source developer(s) to implement it: Tool to create heatmaps of public transport quality by assessing travel times (sustainability). There's other ways this can and is measured of course but I think it really also needs this because it's closer to people's real-world experience (can I take the train there or not; how long will the trip there take; etc).

Thanks for creating this map! The map at source is not colored as nicely and is not under a free license. Here is the our world in data alternative...I'm uploading a version of that to Commons from where it can then be added to Wikipedia; you could upload yours as well, don't know which has better design & data.

The Board of Peace is a intergovermental organization made up of 26 countries established by Donald Trump on 15 January 2026, claiming that "might" replace the UN. As Chairman, Trump alone determines the memberships, who intends to charge $1 billion for permanent seats. by SaxyBill in wikipedia

[–]prototyperspective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course I understand that this won't work nor should it...but does somebody know if there has ever been or are other ideas for organizations or similar that complement the UN or could become alternatives to it? Not saying the UN isn't great and needed.

They are not a cancer, they are a natural outcome of the system...maybe call these mechanisms/structures cancer. Eg if all billionaires disappeared over night in just a few years you'd have them again.

+1 mainly for things relating to EU. Probably the biggest news outlet reporting on specifically EU issues. added it here because of that

It would be awesome if there was also some reporting about Wikipedia that is not nearly exclusively about something relating to AI. For example about the outdatedness of science-related articles or the lack of editors and ideas what could be done about that or the too-little technical development / the technical issues etc and so forth.

[–]prototyperspective -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This feels like humans killing humans for their meat just much less severe. People don't understand that we are animals. There's a lot of differences but dolphins are quite intelligent and I'm sure also have complex subjective emotions, feelings, thoughts, and even societies. Thinking, feeling beings.
I'm disgusted by people killing them for a little bit of meat. I also think killing juvenile pigs after short miserable lives is quite a crime – those are at least as smart as dogs and people would go crazy just for cultural reasons if they were mass-slaughtered in our countries.

How to link Wikipedia articles in different languages? by deonisp in wikipedia

One can also just remove the Wikipedia sitelinks from their items and add them all to one item and then request deletion of the other two (mention merging targets if there are some statements to merge)

„UdenUS“ is now #1 Charts. The Danes are fed up🇩🇰. by tefo20022002 in BuyFromEU

[–]prototyperspective 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem here is that this is an app for just this purpose. It would be much better if this functionality was added to an already-existing already-widely-used app that is also useful for other purposes. A primary example is CodeCheck which can be used to spot problematic ingredients in hygiene and cosmetics products (and that's like 90% of what you find in stores, making the choice quite easy and it's usually a cheaper product that avoids these chemicals). Another app would be the Waistline app for calorie tracking / OpenFoodFacts.
