OH THANK FUCK YOU CAN TURN IT OFF. FUCK

🦨a lot of people are gonna look at code the same way they look at science publications full of technical words, it all just looks the same to it so surely the AI is doing it right, right?

it's a similar thing with AI translation, they dont know the target language so they can't see how bad it is

I folded another Origami figure. It's the Grim Reaper, but in his leisure outfit — the purple cloak. 😅
I don't have black paper. It would look great in black. Or white as a more generic ghost.
I think the final figure looks pretty awesome. It has a nice 3D look to it and it wasn't all that hard to fold. Not easy enough that I could do it again without instructions, but there were no hiccups while I was folding along with the video. 😊

Sure sex is good or whatever [citation needed] but have you ever cuddled platonically with an 11/10 hot friend while autistically yapping about special interests, eating pizza and watching a mix of trans-made media and queer improve comedy?

...okay, this is the Fediverse, so for a lot of you that's like, something that happens an average of several times a week if not outright daily, but it's still good shit

What's the rpm of a döner?

Reminder: forced password rotation is a bad thing and must be avoided.

Because all the characters will slide towards one side, the resulting distribution will not be random, but very skewed.

@SRAZKVT “Ok, vroomer” sounds like a perfect retort to any car-brained person opposing bike lanes, sidewalks, public transit, etc.

just learnt the french created the word "vroomer" for people who like car centered infrastructure a little too much and i think the english language could benefit from this

Yesterday in my intro programming course, the last day before fall break, we talked about LLMs. I explained how they work and what the implications are for what they can and cannot do. I told them that I have made an intentional decision not to use them at all, and gave a presentation/rant/impassioned plea explaining six arguments why I think they should not use LLMs either. (The six arguments are designed to appeal to different students depending on what they value most; there are arguments from learning, correctness, economics, the environment, justice, and mental health.)

They asked a ton of fantastic questions and we ran out of time for the quiz that was supposed to happen because of the resulting spirited discussion.

The kids these days are alright!

OCT. 15, 1902: CHEMIST WARNS BURNING COAL MAY LEAD TO BOILING EARTH

Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius calculated that burning fossil fuels (coal) will, over time, lead to a hotter Earth. His findings led the way for the emergence of modern climate science and a better understanding of the greenhouse effect.

I’m not concerned with the proprietary login problem because I already live that world. All of Sweden runs on a proprietary, shit implementation of passkeys called BankID where the word bank is just as bad as you think it is.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@ScottHelme/117438540873635533

I’ve read the rebuttal and I think passkeys are a trap because my experience with them, not because of any of the arguments here. It’s really simple. I have my passkeys in 1Password because they need to be on 3 computers and 3 mobile devices.

Recently 1Password went fash so I’d like to leave. Exporting passkeys turns out to be the worst kind of impossible. It can’t be done, AND realising that was a two-day research hole.

THAT’S the trap I’m concerned with.
