  • I think they get more via advertisement money. Even if I block everything with ublock they can see the referral (I’m coming from lemmy) and I don’t really know what else they can gather from my data, ip and whatnot. Also traffic so they rank higher in page view lists, so they can ask for more money from advertisers.

    But the biggest problem is I can’t see the image because it’s blocked, and I can’t fix it on my end, I can just click on the link, but then why should I even follow f1 news here if I have to go to reddit anyway…



  • It’s an HDR image, so not exactly how you see it, the blue is exaggerated, but it’s there actually. Similar photo from nasa, with explanation:

    What causes a blue band to cross the Moon during a lunar eclipse? The blue band is real but usually quite hard to see. The featured HDR image of last week’s lunar eclipse, however – taken from Norman, Oklahoma (USA) – has been digitally processed to exaggerate the colors. The gray color on the upper right of the top lunar image is the Moon’s natural color, directly illuminated by sunlight. The lower parts of the Moon on all three images are not directly lit by the Sun since it is being eclipsed – it is in the Earth’s shadow. It is faintly lit, though, by sunlight that has passed deep through Earth’s atmosphere. This part of the Moon is red – and called a blood Moon – for the same reason that Earth’s sunsets are red: because air scatters away more blue light than red. The unusual purple-blue band visible on the upper right of the top and middle images is different – its color is augmented by sunlight that has passed high through Earth’s atmosphere, where red light is better absorbed by ozone than blue.








  • Saved you a click:

    After much debate, the new policy is in effect: Wikipedia authors are not allowed to use LLMs for generating or rewriting article content. There are two primary exceptions, though.

    First, editors can use LLMs to suggest refinements to their own writing, as long as the edits are checked for accuracy. In other words, it’s being treated like any other grammar checker or writing assistance tool. The policy says, “ LLMs can go beyond what you ask of them and change the meaning of the text such that it is not supported by the sources cited.”

    The second exemption for LLMs is with translation assistance. Editors can use AI tools for the first pass at translating text, but they still need to be fluent enough in both languages to catch errors. As with regular writing refinements, anyone using LLMs also has to check that incorrect information hasn’t been injected.
