  • TIL that kung fu (or gongfu) is not a martial art but means "proficiency, aptitude, or mastery" thats acquired over long, rigorous training.

  • Considering how The Matrix is one big Gnostic saga, this one moment of ironic realization echoes throughout the whole.

  • You may not like it, but this is what peak (toxic) male performance looks like.

    I'm reminded of another observation I read online, some time ago. To paraphrase:

    The biggest lie put forward by toxic masculinity is that anger is not an emotion.

  • I get where you're coming from. For me, once I'm past/over the initial titillating shock of the scene or actors at hand, my mind turns to all the subtle things going on in the frame. After repeated watches, the things that seem to matter most? Authenticity. Those little fleeting moments when people drop their guard, stop acting, and really just enjoy themselves. A look, a touch, a lunging mouth, an orgasmic cry that is too real to fake... those moments that bring something real crashing through the fourth wall? Yeah. Absolutely.

  • Personally, I would call this "mono-romantic & poly-sexual" to avoid any ambiguity. "Monogamish" is right up there with "heteroflexible" - useful in a pinch, but requires a conversation to clarify.

  • There are also serious gains to be made in science on the back of AI models, just not the flavors most people are familiar with.

    Edit: The missing permanence might also be a reason for many of the issues of LLM’s, some kind of “self” with a sense of the passage of time to return to. I’m pretty sure i’m not the first one who thought of that, and there are probably a lot of people with even more PhDs at work here.

    Image generation uses a concept of a LORA that is a bolt-on model to augment a base model. It can provide support for additional tokens (those map more or less to words and concepts), or bias the base model on existing tokens. For now, that's probably as close as you're going to get to anything resembling long-term-memory on an LLM.

    I appreciate the workaround here, and I've tried this in production environments to one degree or another. This usually fails due to another problem: the number of systems that think unexpected JSON keys are an error, is is too damn high.

    NEW POLL: Majority of Americans Believe Trump Launched Iran War to Cover Up Epstein Scandal

    Jump

  • The fact that “it’s kinda obvious” suggests to me that people are being distracted by Epstein.

    It's all distractions. All of it. It's practically a distraction onion at this point.

  • Karoline Leavitt’s stunning admission: Trump has not ruled out conscription

    Jump

  • Yup. It's easy to spot when "news" fits these criteria:

    1. Evokes emotional response
    2. Too dangerous to ignore
    3. Devoid of any proof of something that is actually happening or going to happen
    4. Plausible

    The key here is that it's noise designed to wear you out by provoking hypothetical scenarios in your head. This is intended to saturate the minds of the most dangerous opposition of all: The smart and educated. It'll go flying right over the heads of everyone else, but they have other tactics for that.

  • Forced age verification is comming sooner than we thought.

  • Ah yes, C64 floppy drive "headbanging".

    IIRC this is because rather than ship a design with a limit switch or any position sensing at all, the drive software just rapidly slaps the read head home a bunch of times to ensure it's properly aligned with track zero. I have a hard time believing this was to reduce part count, because the drive itself is a whole-ass 6502 computer; the sale price also reflected that. Instead, I think it's a software fix for a "sometimes an issue" hardware problem.

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • I would argue that season 1 was so well crafted because it follows in the footsteps of the original feature film. From the start it had a clear destination, with the real story being "how in the world did we get here?" Constraints make good art and all that.

  • I just wish there was a way for new fans to experience the related ARG and fan-forums in chronological order alongside a watch. A huge part of the experience of this show was all the stuff happening in the fandom, during the week in-between episodes.

  • It's just so damn good. It's been a while, so maybe it's time for a rewatch.

    I had high hopes for 1899, but clearly Netflix had other ideas.

  • They're in every store

    Jump

  • You're not alone. My preference is shopping at places like that "off hours" if possible. Sunday morning (while a lot of people are in church) is a must-do for me.

    I miss 24hr and late-night grocery stores. 10PM shopping used to be incredible.

  • They're in every store

    Jump

  • I meticulously read labels on everything. I kind of have to since I can't just eat anything off the shelf - it's complicated.

    But one thing I do is to be aware of how much room the cart/trolley/whatever is taking up. I much prefer to use a hand-basket or smaller cart if available. I'll also park the damn thing outside the aisle if there's room nearby, or next to my person parallel to the flow of traffic. Why gack up the whole lane?

    At the same time, I also appreciate that a typical supermarket is an assault on the senses where even the neuro-normative struggle. It's not hard to find people that are clearly stuggling, doubling-back-and-forth through the whole market to complete their shopping list (just peek in the basket then consider where you are in the store). The frequency of this happening is kind of staggering.

  • LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy

  • Yes, but don't use a public service for this. Use a local LLM and maintain distinct profiles, one for each online account.
