Uhhh, I have a strange request. If you own a bread knife with a flat-sided handle in your kitchen, and calipers or something else that will measure to the nearest millimetre or so, and want something to do for 30 seconds, could you tell me how thick the handle is?
Yes, I'd like to collect some random samples of bread knife handle widths. Doesn't matter what brand, what it looks like, how long the blade is or where in the world you are.
I will explain later. Boosts appreciated.

L'inizio di un nuovo anno mi pare momento propizio per un #MolloTuttoECambioVita , perciò:
- Se amate la cucina tipica lombarda
- Se la ristorazione non vi terrorizza ma anzi vi attrae
- Se amate la relativa calma della vita in provincia
allora questo locale di Como potrebbe fare al caso vostro!
È appena fuori le mura, a un passo dal centro storico, vicino al mercato e in zona di grande passaggio. Bonus: il vicino ortolano è gentile e sorridente.

In che senso è l'account "Ufficiale" di Peertube in Italia?
Quanto è problematico, in ottica di decentralizzazione, che un'istanza si presenti con il nome Peertube e la dicitura "ufficiale", con tanto di logo?
Decentralizzazione significa che non esistono istanze ufficiali. Il resto è accentramento.
Le parole sono importanti e questi atteggiamenti sono un grande ostacolo per la divulgazione del Fediverso.

The era of ChatGPT is kind of horrifying for me as an instructor of mathematics... Not because I am worried students will use it to cheat (I don't care! All the worse for them!), but rather because many students may try to use it to *learn*.
For example, imagine that I give a proof in lecture and it is just a bit too breezy for a student (or, similarly, they find such a proof in a textbook). They don't understand it, so they ask ChatGPT to reproduce it for them, and they ask followup questions to the LLM as they go.
I experimented with this today, on a basic result in elementary number theory, and the results were disastrous... ChatGPT sent me on five different wild goose-chases with subtle and plausible-sounding intermediate claims that were just false. Every time I responded with "Hmm, but I don't think it is true that [XXX]", the LLM responded with something like "You are right to point out this error, thank you. It is indeed not true that [XXX], but nonetheless the overall proof strategy remains valid, because we can [...further gish-gallop containing subtle and plausible-sounding claims that happen to be false]."
I know enough to be able to pinpoint these false claims relatively quickly, but my students will probably not. They'll instead see them as valid steps that they can perform in their own proofs.

I see so many adults and professionals talking about how they are using LLMs to deepen their understanding of things, but I think this ultimately dives headlong into the “Gell-Mann amnesia” effect — these people think they are learning, but it only feels that way because there are ignorant enough about the topic they're interested in to not detect that they are being fed utter bullshit.
How shall we answer this? I think it speaks most urgently for people who actually know things, those with "intellectual power", to democratise our knowledge, throw aside the totems that make our fields inaccessible and obscure, and open the gates to the multitudes who wish to learn.
At first it seems like it would be easy to compete with LLMs (because they say only bullshit), but to actually compete with LLMs we need to produce educational materials that actually explain things properly. Any 'proof by intimidation' will immediately send our student to the LLM. The moment you rely on something that you haven't explained, same deal. So it may be that this era has a silver lining: we must finally teach mathematics properly.

The hardest part of learning a new topic is 'learning the lingo'. I've audited university courses online and watched Nebula creators. The information is out there. Perhaps students need to be pointed to content that restates the topic in a range of ways that keep connecting the dots until the words/units used have meaning.
I agree with @Meredith the important warning to students is they are getting wrong information that will be difficult to distinguish.
There was a pile of IKEA instructions, the one of top read SKADIS, but while passing nearby my mind read TARDIS.
And @Diego Roversi worried about it, and apparently doesn't trust me with assembling a TARDIS because he's afraid of the extent of what can possibly go wrong in case of a small error assembling it.

meanwhile, in #bakingPeopleProblems, it has been too long since I last made my favourite #bread, and I can't remember whether the measurements on the recipe printouts, which are already higher than the original ones, are for two or four pieces.
And I have enough sourdough for double that amount. And I'm not sure whether my machine can deal with 2.4 kg of flour. But that's a problem for tomorrow me.
Also a problem for tomorrow me: I am sure I don't have enough pieces of white fabric to wrap the dough while it's rising, in case I end up accidentally making 8 pieces. (and my stock of fabric is elsewhere).

Intanto, nella categoria #ProblemiDiChiPanifica, è passato troppo tempo dall'ultima volta che ho fatto il mio #pane preferito, e non mi ricordo se le dosi appuntate sulla stampa della ricetta (che sono già più alte delle originali) sono per due o quattro pezzi.
E ho abbastanza lievito madre per raddoppiarle. E non sono sicura che l'impastatrice regga 2.4 kg di farina. Ma quello è un problema per domani.
Un altro problema per domani: sono sicura di non avere abbastanza pezzi di stoffa bianca in cui avvolgere 8 pezzi a lievitare, nel caso io abbia per sbaglio quadruplicato la dose. (e le mie scorte di stoffa sono altrove)

and it's confirmed, the corrected recipe was already for 4 loaves, and I doubled it.
the machine managed it without too much effort (but I had to take some out of the bowl to rise, or it would have expanded everywhere in the kitchen)
I found enough pieces of canvas to wrap the 7 loaves I made, 4 plain and 3 with fruit (fresh apples, dried apricots, raisins)
This afternoon the oven will work overtime :D

confermato che la ricetta corretta era già per 4 ciabatte, e l'ho raddoppiata.
l'impastatrice ce l'ha fatta senza grossi problemi (ma ho dovuto poi toglierne metà dalla ciotola per lievitare, o si sarebbe allargato per tutta la cucina)
Ho trovato abbastanza teli per avvolgere le 7 ciabatte che ho fatto, 4 liscie e 4 con la frutta (mele fresche, albicocche essicate, uvetta)

Dear GitHub support,
I have just been notified of access to GitHub Copilot having been added to my account, and I cannot find a way to disable that.
I build my reputation on original software that I write, and I do not want risking accidental copyright infringement or worse by having github surreptitiously push "smart" features I do not need on my account.
I am writing to ask for a complete removal of Copilot features from my account. Failing that, I would like a written confirmation that Copilot is not touching anything related to my account, and possibly a procedure I can use at any time to verify and prove that to my customers.
Best regards,

Fun anecdote: A friend of mine once tried to get a certain piece of open hardware RYF-certified. At the time Linux would run on the hardware, without free GPU acceleration. The shipping software/firmware did not include any nonfree components.
They rejected it because users could hypothetically install nonfree GPU drivers. They said if he could get the GPU permanently fused off, they'd certify it.
It was never certified. A few years later, free GPU drivers were available. Had he followed the FSF's ridiculous demand, users would have owned an intentionally crippled piece of hardware and lost the ability to have free GPU acceleration in the future, once it existed.

Dear european¹ craftingverse,
I'd like to put a #pegboard in my sewing room.
The local hardware stores sell the metal ones, and they have holes at an odd distance that I suspect is some absurd amount like one and a half inch or something, sometimes with two additional smaller holes in between.
Then there is the SKÅDIS line from IKEA, where the holes are at a decent and proper distance of 4 cm, but
a) they are made of particleboard instead of metal
b) I'd be afraid of getting stuck into an ikea-only standard
Are there other places that sell metric-based pegboards?
Is there something else I should consider?
Am I overthinking the whole thing?
¹ I'd prefer² any product recommendation to be available from a shop in the eurozone

@cate @Jonobie there is a limit to how the filters can be improved to recognise that e.g. Space Karen refers to Space Dilbert refers to Elon Musk and still allow people to be creative in creating new nicknames.
