In 2024, Netflix had a profit margin of 22%, with USD 8.7b net profit for USD 39b revenue.

The crappy service is a choice.

Schlimmste WG ever.
Eine Informationstafel vor dem Zoogehege, welches sich Waschbären und Stinktiere teilen. Die Infos sind unwichtig, finde es nur witzig, dass sich ein Tier mit Putzfimmel und eines, das immer stinkt, das Zuhause teilen müssen.

Für @srfnews.bsky.social fängt die Geschichte Irans mit dem Sturz des «prowestlichen Schah» an.

Warum erfahren wir nicht wie, und vorallem warum, dieser Diktator überhaupt an die Macht kam?

Vor dem Schah war der Iran eine progressive, moderne Demokratie, aber Europa wollte dessen Erdöl 😐

Ajatollah Chomeini kehrt aus dem Exil zurück und ruft die Islamische Republik Iran aus. Die zuvor engen Beziehungen zu Israel enden – der neue Staat erkennt Israel nicht mehr an.

Screenshot vom SRF Live-Ticker zum Bergsturz in Blatten: Gestern, 22:26 Uhr Experte: Leben in den Alpen weiterhin möglich Laut Boris Previšić kommen Bergstürze im Vergleich zu früher gehäuft vor. Er forscht an der Universität Luzern zum Leben in den Alpen. Trotz der Gefahr könnten Menschen in betroffenen Gebieten weiterleben. Man müsse die bedrohlichen Berge und Felsen im Blick behalten, sagt er im 10 vor 10. Die Menschen könnten sich aber an die Herausforderungen anpassen.

«Really? What makes you think it's AI-generated?»

I dunno, maybe the 15-armed octopus thing with nostrils and teeth?

The starfish-like thing with six arms, two of which are conjoined?

The barnacled jellyfish maybe? Or the coral/clam hybrids?

He's taking the time to troll absolute nobodies (e.g. me) for criticizing his piece.

What is wrong with this guy?
Casey Newton asking me why I disagree with his article, and then calling me a jerk after I explain why.

"the Dunning-Kruger Olympics for takes" 😶

www.wheresyoured.at/lost-in-the-...
"I feel woefully unequipped to respond to the moment. I don't have any real answers. I am not a political analyst, and I would feel disingenuous dissecting the Harris (or Trump) campaigns, because I feel like this has been the Dunning-Kruger Olympics for takes, where pundits compete to rationalize and intellectualize events in an attempt to ward off the very thing that has buried us in red: a shared powerlessness and desperation."

Or as one of the authors puts it:

x.com/MFarajtabar/...
Tweet by @MFarajtabar: 13/ Overall, we found no evidence of formal reasoning in language models including open-source models like #Llama, #Phi, #Gemma, and #Mistral and leading closed models, including the recent #OpenAI #GPT-4o and #o1-series. Their behavior is better explained by sophisticated pattern matching—so fragile, in fact, that changing names can alter results by ~10%! We can scale data, parameters, and compute—or use better training data for Phi-4, Llama-4, GPT-5. But we believe this will result in 'better pattern-matchers,' not necessarily 'better reasoners. Check out the full paper to find out more: arxiv.org/pdf/2410.05229 Also stay tuned for the data release!

Fast täglich passieren Autounfälle, im Jahresschnitt gibt es acht Verkehrstote am Tag. Oft begangen von SUV-Fahrer*innen, denen jeder Respekt fehlt vor Menschen und vor unserer Umwelt. Das müssen wir beenden! Der unkontrollierte Zugang zu Luxusautos muss gestoppt werden.

A photo of a pensive young man cradling his pregnant belly underwater. Alex: "I think Seahorse Parents is about showcasing the differences that exist among birthing people. It's not about acknowledging that those differences aren't inherently bad, but, rather, beautiful. Seahorse Parents shows that all parents deserve to create families in whatever ways feel right to them."
