- But most students, in my experience, claim less severe ailments, such as ADHD or anxiety. And some “disabilities” are just downright silly. Students claim “night terrors”; others say they “get easily distracted” or they “can’t live with others”. I know a guy who was granted a single room because he needs to wear contacts at night. I’ve heard of a girl who got a single because she was gluten intolerant…

- At Stanford, almost no one talks about the system with shame. Rather, we openly discuss, strategise and even joke about it. At a university of savvy optimisers, the feeling is that if you aren’t getting accommodations, you haven’t tried hard enough.

I do not consider this fair, or adequate, regardless, of course. If you are healthy, you must be proud of it. It’s pure disgrace, regardless.

Yes, these people may exploit the system, and probably are proud of it, but this all subconsciously affects self-confidence deeply, morally/psychologically, and it sure comes out soon or late from the mind and heart, from soul, especially if they started at age of tuitions, I believe.

And here, for around 40 years living, working in military and education, I haven’t met anyone yet who would actually recover their inner stance enough to not become a fearful and self-disclosed individual, since the ethics border gets shift and blur gradually and permanently. These never find peace throughout their life, and trust no one, including themselves, which is indescribably sorrowful…

Holy smokes! Thank you very much for mentioning it, dear @slazer2au@lemmy.world ! Since, I try not installing addons that are not published open-sourced, but this one is! ✨

This add-on is built and maintained by workers at Aarhus University in Denmark. We are privacy researchers that got tired of seeing how companies violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because the organisations that enforce the GDPR do not have enough resources, we built this add-on to help them out.

We looked at 680 pop-ups and combined their data processing purposes into 5 categories that you can toggle on or off. Sometimes our categories don’t perfectly match those on the website, so then we will choose the more privacy preserving option.

The first version of this add-on works with 4 popular pop-ups: Cookiebot, OneTrust, QuantCast, and TrustArc. The add-on is open source, so anyone can add additional pop-ups through our template system: https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic.

Of course, thank you, and I do realize that, but:

1. I tried selecting sections that where not associated with othe vendors - same result;

2. Shouldn’t it still be allowed to store cookies for the same vendor/domain, without any consent, by default.

3. There are other means/API than cookies to store consent state in common browsers, including: LocalStorage, IndexedDB, SessionStorage, CacheStorage etc.

Thank you… very much, @puckpuckpuckow@lemmy.world …
Not only some are tired of this LLM/“AI”… but the “two kinds/types”? My dear… is it just “two persons” on this planet, world, universe… they consider?

- If I take a concrete block and grind it down to a fine powder and then add water, will it re-solidify?..

- Huzzah! In short the answer is no, mostly because the idea that concrete existing as both a solid and a liquid (or a flowable solid) is incorrect. Concrete in reality only exists as a solid. Before mixing, the dry components of concrete are a combination of binder and aggregate. The binder is typically portland cement (limestone, alumino-silicate, and calcium sulfate) while the aggregate is sand or rocks, the size of the aggregate varies depending on the mix and is tightly controlled. When water is added to the mix it reacts with calcium silicate (either tricalcium silicate or dicalcium silicate) and results in calcium silicate hydrate, calcium hydroxide, and heat. In a perfect world all of the calcium silicate would hydrate during the first 28 days, but sometimes a small percentage is left over and reacts slowly over time as the concrete is exposed to to the environment. This can cause expansion and cracking of the concrete. If you took cured concrete and ground it down, that minute portion of unhydrated calcium silicate would react, but it wouldn’t be nearly enough to hold the rest of the mixture together.

tl;dr Concrete is formed through a chemical reaction, and can’t be ground down and used again.

Fly ash, flue ash, coal ash, or pulverised fuel ash (in the UK) - plurale tantum: coal combustion residuals (CCRs) - is a coal combustion product that is composed of the particulates that are driven out of coal-fired boilers together with the flue gases…

Owing to its pozzolanic properties, fly ash is used as a replacement for Portland cement in concrete. The use of fly ash as a pozzolanic ingredient was recognized as early as 1914, although the earliest noteworthy study of its use was in 1937. Roman structures such as aqueducts or the Pantheon in Rome used volcanic ash or pozzolana (which possesses similar properties to fly ash) as pozzolan in their concrete. As pozzolan greatly improves the strength and durability of concrete, the use of ash is a key factor in their preservation.

Use of fly ash as a partial replacement for Portland cement is particularly suitable but not limited to Class C fly ashes. Class “F” fly ashes can have volatile effects on the entrained air content of concrete, causing reduced resistance to freeze/thaw damage. Fly ash often replaces up to 30% by mass of Portland cement, but can be used in higher dosages in certain applications. In some cases, fly ash can add to the concrete’s final strength and increase its chemical resistance and durability.

I am not very into the humor type in the ending…
But I must admit, that the shift from the actual events into an imagination through the comics layout dividers is dear freaking ingenious…
Thank you very much for the marvel you do, and incredible idea, dear Artist! ✨

Wonderful day! 🪐

Ha-ha! Of course, it’s okay to add emojis (or even emotes (/ o.o)/) to an accountable CV for responsible job to get trusted for! 😂
Especially those for security 🔒, privacy 🕵️‍♀️, transparency 👁‍🗨…

If I would look at such CV in search 🧭 for a trusted developer 👩‍💻, sys-admin 💻, manager 📜, accountant 💸, and for military forces ( -.-)7, sure thing the pretty pictures would increase the feel of trust to the level of the outer space and beyond!!!1 💪

Oh! And why just LinkedIn? Perhaps to enhance the sense of accountability, some would want to add emojis to some documents, including employment contracts, Banking issues, weaponry certificates, and passports! Let’s make it shine in sparkles! ✨

Look! LOL! OMG! This is the colleague on fields we need! They have these lovely emojis! Let’s hire them right now!
Since, “There’s no crying in Special Forces!”

What a nonsense, sorry…

Human is human already, regardless how they speak and what they do…
There’s always true sympathy and empathy to find in a human, regardless how busy, dark, erroneous etc. they are…
Yet, it’s the true alive soul inside in every person…

Medics are likely tired, doing their job every single day, yet they have empathy, and will always try to listen if you actually try…
They know what PAIN, AGONY, DEATH, SORROW… fear means…

LLM/“AI” will always pretend to be a human, since it’s “trained”/designed, to be so, and will always be limited and incomplete…
Not to mention the initial dataset of numerous emphatic actual human has its limited memory inside, no one is responsible for.

What a hopeless sorrow is that awful trendy, advertised, mind-atrophying mess…

Ineffably magnificent… of course… no words…

Holy gracious smokes… These are ineffably magnificent…
Thank you very much for the marvel, art you do…

One of the most interesting parts is that it’s absolutely safe! It’s not dye or another edible ingredients, but a physical microstructure on the surface! They likely used forms (e.g. molds) of some sort with microscopic shapes where chocolate fills up, crystalizes, and voila! The micro shape on the surface of the chocolate now is able to diffract light, relatively similar to how CD/DVD do, as in dear miracles…

Wonderful day! ✨

Just in case, have you tried any of the clients for the open-source audited standard KeePass (e.g. KeePassXC, KeePassDX, KeeWeb etc.)?
Though, it requires a manual device/database synchronization logic for certain clients/projects.

Absolutely not, sorry. No. Never. The terrible sorrow you shared that pollutes, disgraces, devalues, and horribly damages the whole employment processing etc. is for “automating the job application process”.

The question is “gathered job listings”, which is for searching, not applying with no effort and value, I believe. These are utterly different cases/purposes. The former may indeed support someone in search. The later…? Dear, please… no…

To be frank, I don’t know any case when Valve forced these rules, and even when someone reported such cases to Steam support directly. The response was just - “Thank you. We will check it out.”, and that’s it.

Self-published developers I am aware of have been considering these “rules” as fair suggestion from Valve who point out that it’s important to Valve stay afloat in competition, where many developers will just follow these getting the point, which is straightforward.

A few developers I know do find following this “rule” a respect towards the platform in general even.

Holy smokes! This is freaking Doom-“seriously”-awesome! You should check it out, Sam Stone, too, and give it a serious test! 💣✨
It is a dear genius project, implementation, and it worked like a charm when I tested at https://doombuds.com/
Thank you very much, dear Artists… for the marvel you do…

I am sorry, but this is simply not true. The most people on Lemmy I met, I believe, do consider their privacy, federation/decentralized features and open-source state of the platform, fairly ad-free environment, and not to mention purely customizable clients to participate over the standard and open protocols involved. Meanwhile, they have functional accounts on Reddit, too.

Please do consider the undefined infinitely unique environments of infinitely magnificent people around the world…

Ineffably awesome work! Thank you very much! ✨
The hair, shadows, and eyes ideas are very interesting, too! The indescribable eyes felt like sharing a reflection, and the reflection reminded me of the following personal screenshot I have in backups, from Mirror’s Edge Catalyst:

Thank you very much! The red dot is likely smaller…
Though, I don’t appreciate nor agree with the bomb part! ^^
The work reminded me of the following paper:

Many unresolved legal questions over LLMs and copyright center on memorization: whether specific training data have been encoded in the model’s weights during training, and whether those memorized data can be extracted in the model’s outputs.

While many believe that LLMs do not memorize much of their training data, recent work shows that substantial amounts of copyrighted text can be extracted from open-weight models…

We investigate this question using a two-phase procedure: (1) an initial probe to test for extraction feasibility, which sometimes uses a Best-of-N (BoN) jailbreak, followed by (2) iterative continuation prompts to attempt to extract the book.

We evaluate our procedure on four production LLMs: Claude 3.7 Sonnet, GPT-4.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Grok 3, and we measure extraction success with a score computed from a block-based approximation of longest common substring…

Taken together, our work highlights that, even with model- and system-level safeguards, extraction of (in-copyright) training data remains a risk for production LLMs…

No, sorry. Never. I believe in mind training and development, human discussions, attribution, contribution, and discoveries for human work, imagination, achievements, and scientific miracles.

You? You do you with your LLM.
