This is true - and it’s also one of those cases where donations of money are more effective than direct donations of food. The food banks can get better deals in bulk with that cash.

I'd forgot about that. Yeah. That's definitely on target.

Of course as far as the legal part goes, generally, I believe you have to pay someone about $5 million dollars to get some kind of answer. However, for this and the reverse engineered Photoshop guy, I took the liberty of asking an expert.

It's not all that relevant, but it is interesting. I feel you'd get a kick out of it. Either that or possibly a mistranslation of project Luna, but that's just boring streaming

There's a new project that recompiles PS5 games to play on PC. It's... sort of functional, and that might be what he heard about? www.tomshardware.com/video-games/...

AnyPS5 project reaches critical GPU milestone in race to enable running PS5 games natively on PC — 100% shader instruction coverage is a massive step forward, but playing all PS5 games natively on PC ...
The new project is not an emulator, but an attempt to get PS5 games running natively on PC.

Imagine, if you will, a Mirror Universe Warhammer40K. A fully automated space utopia that makes Star Trek look grimdark by comparison. Benevolent godlike beings who make FTL travel through the Warp safe and comfortable. Skaven exist because someone really wanted to be able to talk to cute rats.

For some reason, this is my favorite SCTV skit, just because it fits the show and the thing they're parodying and how they used 3D so well.

Warcabbit @warcabbitmwm.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
I'm now wondering how much _effort_ it would be to make this 3d (classic type). Duplicate layers, offset them some amount, overlay color tints(which is probably where it would all go to hell), I guess? Again, this is a process question, like I am trying not to imply a request at all.

I am not approving of it, I'm saying it's a human pattern, time after time, to make a show of an execution. We have to work to be better than those urges. Do not deny them, they exist. Reject them.

A lot of the saints were criminals on death row at the time. My uncle somewhat removed managed to start an entire war, after all, and, well, Paul was beheaded and Peter crucified, which reminds me perhaps another famous criminal died that way.

This is, as a friend said, like dumping a 500,000 line pull request on an open source project, implementing new features that may or may not have been on the roadmap, and expecting the maintainer to check it.

So human. This is what our better angels fight to rise against... but what do you think a saint's relic is? A body part of a person, often executed by the state.

The Association for Human Mathematics (AHM) statement on OpenAI’s October 6 release of mathematical documents just dropped! www.ahmath.org/statements
AHM Statement on OpenAI’s October 6 Release of Mathematical Documents

Yesterday, on October 6th, 2026, OpenAI – which is currently defending lawsuits against accusations of illegal plagiarism, copyright infringement, and trademark dilution – released a repository of manuscripts purporting to contain solutions to a number of high-profile problems in mathematics.

Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done. The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, from whom OpenAI has claimed to derive its legitimacy, opened their initial advisory statement by saying that frontier AI corporations should not test advanced mathematical problems on internal models. In ignoring the central premise of the Advisory Group’s position, OpenAI has indicated total disregard for the norms of scientific research — norms that guarantee that mathematics remains trustworthy, ethically researched, and in the public interest.

Mathematicians have a particular vision of progress that is informed by history and field-specific considerations. We reject OpenAI's assertion that this release advances our subject, and we urge mathematicians and the public to view the value of this publication model with due skepticism. 

Releasing over 700 files at once is not a demonstration of scholarship, but a demonstration of power. We urge mathematicians to discontinue their work with OpenAI and to return to a vision of science that centers human understanding.

This being the last hours of #WorldOctopusDay is a great excuse to post this superb Mycenaean stirrup jar with a hallucinogenic-stylized octopus. Somebody clearly ate the mushrooms. 😆 🏺 1200-1100 BCE. Met Museum. 📸 me
A stylized octopus with spiral, hypnotic eyes and flanked by fish covers each side of this stirrup jar, named for the shape of its handles. Mycenaean pottery often reflects Minoan-inspired themes and techniques that originated on the island of Crete. Animated marine motifs adopted from Minoan art began to appear on Mycenaean vessels in about 1500 BCE and were initially rendered in a very naturalistic manner. Here, the symmetrical composition and abstract depiction of the sea creatures are characteristically Mycenaean.

Such jars were commonly used to transport liquids.

Mycenaean, Late Helladic IIIC, ca. 1200-1100 BCE.

H. 10 1/4 in. (26 cm); diameter 8 7/16 in. (21.5 cm)

Met Museum, New York (53.11.6)

Honestly, I'm okay with banning abusive behavior towards things you interact with. It's not about the thing, it's about what does to the person. And I don't think we should get people used to behaving that way.

He is in a wheelchair, after all. Maybe they'll need to strap him to some kind of cross-shaped structure so he presents a good target to his executors. The man is still a murderer, but we should be better than that. We should try. We don't.

Yeah, I tried it once and the argon lasted a month, unless you're also rebottling. And the chemical will tend to go bad if it stands anyhow. I'm not going to say if it was oxygen in the brake fluid or if it was general decay, but after two years it was no good.
