apparently nappy.co, an invaluable stock photo resource, is shutting down in a few months because, well, AI destroys everything. this blows. their statement: nappy.co/future just fucking sucks that AI dipshits essentially get to take away our choices because they're incapable of making their own

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

Your spooky season reminder that there is a ~40% jump in pedestrian fatalities on Halloween compared to control days (and a 10x increase in risk for little kids). Closing streets is a great idea. It’s also an excellent night to avoid driving if you can. Source: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Of course the people making "AI" think so. They're trying to enslave all of us first. When you have to pay a slop machine to do anything useful, your existence and what you do with it is completely up to the slop machine owners.

Please stop hedging about programming every time you critique AI. I am sick of hearing non-programmers say things like, "I know that programmers are all using this now, but..." No, stop. We are not all using it. You make the non-users feel like the world has gone mad every time you say this.

The Cowlitz Indian Tribe (a legal entity representing the Cowlitz people) has started a beaver kit cam to watch some young beavers get reared before relocation by wildlife services. It's pretty calming at times. Dose yourself appropriately. www.youtube.com/live/hy765ud...
A beaver kit lays against the side of its mother, who has her back to the camera, in a pile of beavers. They are atop straw and sticks inside of a fenced enclosure with a time and date stamp in the upper left.

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...
If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

Just fixed a bug that was 100% caused by me doing math past my bedtime yesterday, resulting in some conditional code that in hindsight reminds me of the spiders-on-drugs experiments.
One photo of a spider web labelled "Drug-Naive", and a second photo of a web labelled "Caffeinated". The first photo depicts a well ordered, classic spider-web structure that resembles a net. The web in the second photo has little in common with the first: it is much more sparse; few of the lines draw to a middle point, which is indiscernible anyway; the strands are of varying thickness and the structure is overall chaotic and irregular.
