This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Inside you there are two passwords, and both contain at least 8 characters - suddenly you have enough to play a marvel movie in your mind

Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

This performative self-reporting of AI models breaching security and doing all this illegal thing is just not-so-humble-bragging with a crime-machine. If the US was a real country, Altman, Amodei and all the others that brag with their models breaching rules would be in prison.

if you study hard and become good at any given craft, you'll eventually see success unless, of course, it's 2026, and you're on the worst timeline terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a...

Especially in games I think it's really a big turn-off - especially since you basically need a power plant in your house to handle the requirements to render the fine details they add. And the detail is added at the expense of gameplay, because gameplay doesn't make good marketing material.

It might be just a new step towards realism. The technology is multi-disciplinar, and not all the disciplines evolve at the same pace; the lack of synchronization creates jarring experience and uncanny-valley feelings. But movies (and games) experiences get ruined in the process.

my meme is silly but I can't get the idea out of my head the idea that our resources-consumed-to-make-slop production ratio is probably the greatest it has ever been in human history

Ce e cel mai enervant la povestea cu Pahonțu e că nu a învățat nimeni nimic din povestea cu Sejanus. Degeaba o explici cum trebuie la podcast, că nimeni nu pricepe chestii podcastdeistorie.ro/102-telenove...

"LibreOffice 26.8 contains no generative AI features. Documents are not transmitted to remote services for processing, and no component of the suite requires network access to function. This is a deliberate position."

There’s a weird type of social media personality who considers themselves a good activist because they spend all day doing nothing but posting about who they don’t think are good activists

In the Renaissance people theorized, since the Aeneid is great, if you wrote poems made only of words & phrases from the Aeneid rearranged they should be great too, since a great source regurgitated should yield greatness. They produced NOTHING we still read. Thinking about that a lot lately.

In the Pleistocene Era of journalism, there was a rule that you didn’t publish stories about people thinking about filing a lawsuit. Because more often than not, it’s a way for some cranky shmuck to get their opponent to stop doing something, without the hassle or expense of hiring an actual lawyer

Watching Castle, season 6, and I manage to catch just the beginning and the end. Telling my partner: „it's surprising how many episodes are about crimes that they don't catch the killer for, end then they discuss about the wedding”.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

It took nearly 7 decades, after invention of the silicon solar cell in 1954, for the world to install 1 terawatt of solar capacity, enough to power entire USA After passing that milestone in 2022, world added its second terawatt in 2024 and its third in 2026 e360.yale.edu/digest/three...

The World Adds a Third Terawatt of Solar Power

In March, the world passed a major energy milestone, adding its third terawatt of solar power. Increasingly, poorer countries are leading the shift to solar, analysts say.

Despre Chromium și curl: ești conștient de diferența de mărime dintre cele două, nu? De asemenea, ești conștient că chiar și cu scopul destul de limitat al curl, s-au găsit suficient de multe probleme în el de-a lungul timpului, nu?

Când o să avem un string în C care să nu prezinte probleme la manipulare atunci vorbim. Până atunci, de acord, se pot face greșeli similare în C și în C++, dar C++ e mai puțin deschis la astfel de erori pentru că limbajul ajută (și Rust e și mai ok din punctul ăsta de vedere).
