Happy birthday @ezterry !

OK, the Smarter Every Day guy calling it "encrappification" is kind of cute, actually.

Hey Fedi! A friend of mine, Blair Shedd, who's a very talented artist but not the best at marketing, is launching a Kickstarter tomorrow for his #Vermont #horror #fantasy #GraphicNovel, The World's Between Us […]

Crazy things you read about from your local library. It's absurd that ebooks cost more to the library than physical books; pure rent-seeking: "Did you know that electronic materials like e-books and digital audiobooks are significantly more expensive than their print counterparts? Whereas we […]

I'm not sure if this is the first story about a Torment Nexus, but it's an early one, and seems fairly prescient for its time. The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster https://www.cs.ucdavis.edu/~koehl/Teaching/ECS188/PDF_files/Machine_stops.pdf

I guess one of the nice things about LLM based systems is that they will red-team themselves for you. You can just ask them, and they'll happily crunch away and figure out what sensitive data they have access to, what methods they have to exfiltrate it, and what untrusted data sources they could […]

You know, genAI might be kind of entertaining, if we weren't actually staking our entire economy on it, and using it to vibe-code our entire industry. I experiment with some audio models; I give it an audio clip where I say "Testing, 1, 2, 3". And then it processes in its reasoning trace 'The […]

Watching videos of weird ass animations of the Ballad of John Henry, for no particular reason.

Seeing the news that gas prices has hit yet another all-time high reminds me of my video from December, on the state and future of sustainable aviation I think it's good, but that opinion is clearly biased. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95JWx3O5sGE #aviation #avgeek #ElectricAircraft […]

Good to know that we're facing not one but two existential crises (climate change and automation based economic collapse) where the obvious solution of "tax the negative externalities" is a complete non starter in the current political climate. https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.20617

Hmm.

This old hospital laundry closed approximately 15 years ago and is filled with a glorious palette of colours set against a backdrop of natural decay. There are wooden signs with stencilled lettering on the walls: dresses, blankets, bags, and sheets. There is […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

What's that song that goes "duh duh duh duh duh DUH... duh duh duh duh duh" that I have stuck in my head?

Good god, yall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztZI2aLQ9Sw

Wow, StackOverflow. Are you trying to stay relevant by collapsing all timestamps on conversations to "over a year ago"? There's a big difference in relevance, in the tech world, between "2 years ago" and "17 years ago", collapsing everything down to "over a year ago" is pretty useless.

The perfect genre of YouTube video. * Thumbnail is just a frame from the video, no faces with stupid expression or bold clickbait text * Title describes exactly what is in the video * Cute animal doing cute animal stuff

Lol, I find it rich when LLM companies, built on scraping the world's data without permission to build their models, accuse rivals of intellectual property theft when the rivals prompt the models to train their own. So it's apparently "intellectual property for me but not for thee." […]

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@unlambda/115937191941370163 @dragonminded This is the oil on glass animation that I was mentioning the other day.

Brian Campbell@unlambda.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy · 7mo ago

Was going down a wiki rabbit hole on animation, and was reminded of this style I'd seen of oil paint on glass animation. Found this short film that I think I've seen a clip of before, and oh my god, this is some of the most gorgeous animation I've ever seen […]

@dragonminded discovers the covered double bnuuy technique

[alcohol] Woo... I just made a cocktail with Batavia Arrak, Chartreuse, and lime. Only after I made it and drank it did I realize that Batavia Arrack is 100 proof, and Chartreuse is 110 proof. I'm having a bit more of a fun Tuesday night than I expected!
