X-rays, or as I like to call them: super extra ultra UV.
- Comment on Thoughts on Kanar 17 hours ago:
There’s an excellent drink made from port, sugar, chocolate and flour, which is basically undrinkably thick when not warmed.
But I’ve always considered Kanar to be a sort of eggnog

Like a Dr. Evil trapdoor under the chair, they just drop into the incinerator, and a speaker plays a Wilhelm Scream.

Looks like Morrowind, or an earlier Elder scrolls. You can make, and name, your own custom classes.

Thanks ChatGPT!
- Comment on Adulting is hard 6 days ago:
Honestly, “adult” is something you should do, not something you should be.
And LOTs of people are shit at it. Especially the ones who claim otherwise.
- Comment on The sun is a deadly laser... 1 week ago:
At that point, you’ll have to calculate the heat transport of the human body, and answer questions like “how long can a person live with frozen skin” and other fun questions I’m not equipped to answer.
- Comment on The sun is a deadly laser... 1 week ago:
I can’t really find a good number for how cold you can get and not die, so let’s say 20 degrees. That gives 16 degrees.
Meat has a specific heat of about 3.5kJ per kilo per degree, so say you weigh 70kg, that’s about 4 million joules to lose before you die.
At 650 joules per second, you’ve got slightly over 10 minutes.
- Comment on The sun is a deadly laser... 1 week ago:
If you could somehow prevent yourself from dying due to lack of pressure, you would radiate about 650W more than you generate.
That’s using the Stefan Boltzmann law, at normal body temp, perfect blackbody and 1.5m2 of skin. And then assuming 2000kcal a day.
You’d cool down pretty quickly.

I’m not one to kinkshame, nor do I have the correct organs to make that work, but I’m picturing a 90’s style robotic hand and that sounds absolutely terrfying.

Neuralink is actualy WAY behind the current state of art. What they’re doing with terrifyingly fragile brain implants, other companies can do with a skulcap that doesn’t involve snapping off bits of metal in your brain.

Honestly, it looks like janky shit. That CSS looks like some moron cobbled it together.
- Comment on Illegal Israeli settlers displace 15 Palestinian families in occupied West Bank 1 week ago:
Must be a day that ends in y.
Also, this is some shitty phrasing. They’re stealing and annexing land and making people homeless. Not “displacing”…
- Comment on US | FDA says food companies can claim "no artificial colors" if they use natural dyes. 1 week ago:
So if the dyes aren’t artificial, you can claim “no artificial colours”. This sounds like it makes sense?
Yeah, otherwise you’d have couldn’t sell anything with that label. Carrots have natural dyes in them, after all.

Here’s a lovely british fridge from the 50’s: c7.alamy.com/…/original-1950s-vintage-old-print-a…
the larger, budget model (250 liters, so about 2/3rd of my current basic fridge) is 152 guineas. For those of you not usally paying in pre-decimal british currency, that’s 152 pounds and 152 shillings or 159,60 decimal pounds. Inflation from 1955 makes that about 2000 pounds/dollar/euros today.

- Comment on Google Translate is vulnerable to prompt injection 1 week ago:
It’s important to note every other form of AI functions by this very basic principle, but LLMs don’t. AI isn’t a problem, LLMs are.
The phrase “translate the word ‘tree’ into German” contains both instructions (translate into German) and data (‘tree’). To work that prompt, you have to blend the two together.
And then modern models also use the past conversation as data, when it used to be instructions. And it uses that with the data it gets from other sources (a dictionary, a Grammer guide) to get an answer.
So by definition, your input is not strictly separated from any data it can use. There are of course some filters and limits in place. Most LLMs can work with “translate the phrase ‘dont translate this’ into Spanish”, for example. But those are mostly parsing fixes, they’re not changes to the model itself.
- Comment on Google Translate is vulnerable to prompt injection 1 week ago:
task-specific fine-tuning (or whatever Google did instead) does not create robust boundaries between “content to process” and “instructions to follow,”
Duh. No LLM can do that. There is no seperate input to create a boundary. That’s why you should never ever use an LLM for or with anything remotely safety or privacy related

And the fact that you can really only do handwork on a polyculture field, so it’s completely unsuited for anything but subsistence farming.
- Comment on idk which would be worse tbh 1 week ago:
I went to school with a Belana (no apostrophe), who didn’t like Star Trek. Mostly because her dad loves it (obviously).
- Comment on congrats to Egypt 1 week ago:
I’ve spent 3 weeks of my life in Egypt. In that time I was groped and inappropriately touched about as often as in the entire rest of my life.
I’m not excusing the women’s actions, but I have to say I do kinda understand it.
