You are right about the subjectivity of the scale, though. The American Spice Trade Association has an objective test using high performance liquid chromatography. They have graciously provided the data to the public free of charge… just kidding you have to be member (starts at $2,500/yr).

In Scoville’s method, an exact weight of dried pepper is dissolved in alcohol to extract the heat components (capsinoids), then diluted in a solution of sugar water. Decreasing concentrations of the extracted capsinoids are given to a panel of five trained tasters, until a majority (at least three) can no longer detect the heat in a dilution. The heat level is based on this dilution, rated in multiples of 100 SHU.

Sweetness increases your tolerance for heat. The Scoville unit basically tells you how much sugar water it takes to mask the spiciness.

No, I can’t blame anyone for visiting harm on Nazis. But that is a temporary solution. If we are to nullify supremacist ideologies, we must eacape survival of the fittest world views. Any ideology that requires violence will be surpassed by the next strongest, including the ideology that kills Nazis and white supremacists.

You are right. If we exclude any population from rehabilitation, we join said population.

hate fuck:
An act of aggressive sex with someone as if they had no respect for the person as an equal human being, regardless if they actually do, or not. Hate fucking usually entails aggressive, sometimes violent, degrading, and humiliating sexual acts and behaviors perpetrated by an aggressive party onto a submissive, solely in the interest of the aggressor’s own pleasure and amusement, and without regard for the submissive party’s enjoyment or well being.
Unlike rape, hate fucking is a form of consensual sex where the submissive party has agreed (for whatever reason) to accept the treatment and behavior of the aggressor.
Though unlike proper BDSM, the submissive party has not previously discussed boundaries, likes or dislikes, and doesn’t necessarily enjoy all, or even any of the treatment they receive.

Fun fact: the Scoville heat unit basically measures the amount of sugar water it takes to mask the spiciness of a given pepper.

iPXE maybe? But there’s a lot of implementation details you would have to figure out. Two that come to mind are:
-
A mobile device from which you can selectively provide an image for booting
-
A physical intrusion detection system for your home machine that you can also read remotely

- Comment on A cheat sheet for why using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment 3 months ago:
You seem to spend a lot of energy questioning people’s intentions, inventing reasons to question whether people’s intentions toward you are genuine. Some do deserve to be questioned, no doubt. It just seems draining, and for what goal?
Do you aim to be the sole determiner of truth? To never be duped again? To sharpen your skills as an investigator?
How much more creative energy could you put into the world by taking people at their word in all but the highest risk cases?
- Comment on A cheat sheet for why using ChatGPT is not bad for the environment 3 months ago:
What weighs more: the cost of taking people at their word, or the effort it takes to interpret the subtext of every interaction?

I believe it would be darker than mere loopholes. Corporations would probably both protect their own IP and steal each others’ IP through militant means. Like, Cyberpunk 2077 could become reality.

- Comment on Windows Defender Anti-vitus Bypassed Using Direct Syscalls & XOR Encryption 3 months ago:
XOR cleartext once with a key you get ciphertext. XOR the ciphertext with the same key you get the original ciphertext. At its core this is the way the old DES cipher works.
A bit of useful trivia: If you XOR any number with itself, you get all zeros. You can see this in practice when an assembly programmer XOR’s a register with itself to clear it out.

- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 4 months ago:
This reminds me of learning a shortcut in math class but also knowing that the lesson didn’t cover that particular method. So, I use the shortcut to get the answer on a multiple choice question, but I use method from the lesson when asked to show my work. (e.g. Pascal’s Pyramid vs Binomial Expansion).
It might not seem like a shortcut for us, but something about this LLM’s training makes it easier to use heuristics. That’s actually a pretty big deal for a machine to choose fuzzy logic over algorithms when it knows that the teacher wants it to use the algorithm.
