Eg kom i Lillehammer Byavis med denne i 2019. Eg tenkte nøyaktig det same i går etter å ha høyrd om bensinprisar på NRK Alltid nyheter. Sju år sidan. Kor lenge skal byfolk halda fram med å masa om bensinprisane på bygda?

Language geek digression II: The thing from my language that I would find hardest to teach someone who doesn't have it, is articles, I think. I can't work out any sensible rules that don't have a million exceptions. See also the fact that languages with articles all use them slightly differently.

Language geek digression: This is an example of what I imagine can be quite hard to get your head around if you're native language does not have grammatical gender: "She is a funny bird" (i.e. a bit weird). "Sie [fem.] ist ein [masc.] komischer [masc.] Vogel."

Danke schön, det var nokså samstemte tilbakemeldingar! Då vert "sie ist ein komischer Vogel" til "Ho er ein underleg skrue."

GOOOOOOoooooo *thud*

Awkward moment in the Brazilian top flight: Coritiba player falls into a tunnel celebrating against Chapecoense, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside

Det verkar no klart: Nokon (kven, skal tru?) prøvde å sprengja eit ukrainsk fly i lufta på flyplassen i Leipzig. Det synest meg at den hybride krigføringa blir mindre og mindre hybrid.

Bluesky-hjelpa! Korleis forstår de uttrykket "ho er ein underleg skrue"? -Ho er litt eksentrisk eller -Ho har ein mental diagnose ?

BIG recommend to this short, very moving thread. ‘Illegal immigration’ is a harsh, catch-all term that obscures the humanity, the care that can lie behind global mobility

Peter Mandler@petermandler.bsky.social · yesterday

Going through some of my father's papers I came across - what in my professional life I'd tout as a great archival discovery - a letter from the (unrelated, and I think not Jewish) Mandlers who sponsored my father's and his family's visas to the US in 1939, out of the goodness of their hearts.

"I want you to panic." But not from @thunberggreta.bsky.social —this time from a firefighter whose face betrays his despair—he understands all too well how deeply political denial still hinders action. He was @zackpolanski.bsky.social s press conference. We need more of this involved people at mics.

De hadde også mange eksempler på teknologi som ikke slo gjennom, blant annet en form for tidlige kassetter med vinylriller istedenfor magnethoder, en streng som lignet på et fiskesnøre med lyd på, postkort med plateriller og minidisc(☠️)

🇭🇺⚖️ Famously, after ousting Baka from the seat of the president of the Hungarian Supreme Court, the Fidesz majority renamed the court to Kuria, so that in case the ECtHR ruled in his favour (as it did), he wouldn't be able to return to the post because new name, new court, who dis? Quite a comeback.

💥A longtime ECHR judge and later Hungary’s Supreme Court chief, András Baka was forced out after criticizing Viktor Orbán’s judicial crackdown. In 2016, the ECHR ruled his rights had been violated. Now, PM Péter Magyar’s Tiszta party nominates him for president of Hungary. A well-deserved redress.

This map is a bit impossible, but a bit interesting. The word for 'raven' is in most languages originally onomatopoeic, i.e. a word that mimics the sound of the raven. Although it's not always easy to see in the present day words. But it makes it hard to know which words are related. #etymologidag

This afternoon’s film was the brilliant documentary “Fiume o Morte”, which uses local residents of what is now Rijeka in Croatia to reenact the story of Gabriele d’Annunzio’s proto-fascist takeover of the city in 1919. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzVa...

Høgttenkjing rundt denne jobben (fjernsynsteksting med KI) (altfor lang tråd): KI-en som eg skal "forbedre" er, isolert sett, ganske god. Betre enn mykje som billigbyråa med glede publiserer på Netflix, BBC og slikt. Ikkje av NRK/TV2-standard, men det er derfor dei gir det til meg for korrektur.

Det finst eit vidare problem her for heile kultursektoren: Arbeid som omsetjar, korrekturlesar, språkvaskar, reklametekstskrivar, etc. har ofte vore sånt som betaler rekningane for folk som elles prøver å skriva bøker, dikt, jobba med teater, etc. Ting som nesten ingen kan leva av på full tid.

Øystein Hellesøe Brekke@oysteib.bsky.social · 3d ago

Og lønna deretter. På sikt kjem problemet: Kven skal gidda å gjera korrekturjobben? Det bør helst vera ein erfaren omsetjar, men korleis skal ein omsetjar bli erfaren, når omsetjingsarbeidet blir gjort av KI? Og kor mange erfarne omsetjarar vil jobba med korrektur? Det er ein mykje kjedelegare jobb.

Då har eg fått mitt første oppdrag med å "forbedre" ei KI-omsetjing. Motivasjonen er på topp, merkar eg. Om eg gjer ein dårleg jobb, vil folk tenkja "Ja ja, KI er jo drit." Om eg gjer ein god jobb, vil folk tenkja "Sjå så bra det fungerer med KI-omsetjing!"

Dagens svenske false friend: Verbet "laga". Eg har faktisk lært det før, men gløymt det. Men, full disclosure: KI-en tok det. Å "laga" er altså å "reparera".

Øystein Hellesøe Brekke@oysteib.bsky.social · 5d ago

Ein svensk false friend som eg først nyleg har lært meg: "Syskonbarn". Veit du kva det betyr? (KI-en visste det ikkje.)

the amazing thing about the high modernist age was that these guys really did stand up and say to everyone: "i am objectively smarter than literally anyone who has ever lived," and somehow they were not immediately laughed at

my favourite thing about le corbusier is the way in which he was literally a moron

The problem with Brexit was that the measure of success was the disintegration of the EU. The reason Brexiteers weren't concerned with losing access to the Single Market was they thought everyone else would be in the same boat. Once the EU and SM survived Brexit had failed.

What happened at Ceuta did not threaten Europe – Europe’s response did, @alemanno.bsky.social writes.

Ceuta did not threaten Europe. Europe’s response did.

A deadly border emergency was contained within 48 hours. European leaders recast it as an invasion, weakened the Union, and handed Europe’s enemies the dystopian story they wanted.
