are there any other industries in which we apply a similar safety standard as training of large neural networks? the closest that comes to my mind is animal husbandry, but I think we understand the genetics of that better than we understand neural networks, and don't apply ever-more increasing optimization power to it. (although, to be fair, when humans began husbandry they understood it far less)

Good evening everyone! Damn nice with vacation, nice to sleep in every day :) Weather has not been good, really cold, feels like autumn to be honest, and lots of wind. Not summer weather at all these days.

@lyse Ohh, indeed! That does sound similar. 😅

Collared doves are quite rare around here. I think I only saw them once. 🤔

Thinking about it: I guess the big difference between the calls of owls and doves/pigeons is that owls don’t repeat their call that much. It’s more like a “huuuu!” and then silence for quite a while – whereas doves often sound like a broken record. 😂

@movq @prologic It's the Teams ringtone. But now that I listen to it again, it doesn't remotely sound similar anymore. Hmm. :-( Maybe just a few frequencies made it. Okay, it took me over an hour to figure out that what I heard is not some kind of owl but rather a Eurasian collared dove! What a surprise. Didn't expect that, not in a hundred years. Would have lost any bet.
@movq This is nice! :-) On my train ride home yesterday I saw something similar. Plenty ravens at a recycling center.

I'm playing around with snac2, which I think @stigatle mentioned on here, and I have to say it's extremely easy to set up and it's been pretty straightforward so far. I wanted to experiment with having a presence on the Fediverse without going through the process of picking Mastodon vs. Gnu Social vs. Friendica vs. ..., and I wanted to self-host instead of picking an instance of one of those. For now I'm abucci@buc.ci, but no guarantees that will remain stable; I'm just testing for the time being.

@movq Fuck me, this is brilliant! <3 What a truly amazing shot! Really awesome, mate! :-) Yeah, they are giant. Haven't seen one in person from up close, only a hand full in the very, very distance.

I can hear tawny owls every now and then, at least I was told that this is the specific hooting of them. Only half a year ago I actually got to see one of them for the first time taking off a tree.

That reminds me of a funny story last month: I was working with doors and windows open in the morning and I thought several times, I received an incoming call. But I couldn't see anything of that sort. The headset was laying on the desk and it was ringing very quietly. Took me a few seconds to realize that this was the call of an owl. :-D I hadn't realized before that the ringtone must have been modelled after an owl call. :-)
Yesterday, laundry got spontaneously rained on quite heavily. But hey, we got rain, that's great. Even three thunderstorms went by.

Today, it was cloudy and after lunch I had a two to three hours long nap. After getting up again the sun was out, too, so I decided to only go for a walk in the evening. At 20:00 it was still very muggy. But it was good to be outdoors again. Didn't see too many animals, they probably didn't like the heat either.

Bumblebee

If you look closely in 09 and 10, there are two raptorial birds that were hooting in the distance. I couldn't see the one in 09, just heard him and then saw something light falling down the tree, so I just made a bunch of photos on the off chance. I'm not 100% positive, it was already too dark when I returned, but I might have seen a racoon just a couple of meters ahead of me running out of a hedge and climbing up the allotment gardener fence right quick in a hurry.
@movq Very cool! Amazing animal!

Just compiled the Yarn desktop client on OpenSuse, was no issues getting it to run there, I love how portable it is. I initially wanted to run OpenBSD on this laptop, but it would not detect wifi, which is a dealbreaker for me, so I installed OpenSuse tumbleweed instead, and will run OpenBSD in a VM and try from there instead.
Saw a real Eurasian Eagle-Owl today, for the first time. I knew that they are “large”, but I wasn’t aware just how big they are. Absolutely massive. 😅

(Since I’m an idiot, I only took photos with full zoom – so you can’t tell their size. 🤦)
