It’s okay, this text showed me how it’d feel to be dyslexic
- Comment on how do you slice it?? 1 week ago:
As it turns out, the emergence and popularization of Zoos during the Victorian era was largely driven by the work conducted at the Royal Institute for Volumetric Measurements in London.
Similarly the expansion of the British empire was mostly driven by the need to find ever larger exotic animals in order to establish comparative volumetric weights for the ever larger ships and constructions of that era.
“25.678 standard volume foxes”, was becoming a bit unwieldy when describing a cargo vessels weight.

One standard volume giraffe of course, i.e. the volume in m³ an average giraffe would fill (at room temperature and sea level), when passed through a blender. And then half of that

- Comment on the universe about to have a little minty b 1 month ago:
It’s probably also why we all have to sleep at some point. The simulation alots each of us processes some computation time and pauses threads in a round-robin fashion, giving the illusion of true parallelism.
Don’t let the sim pause you! Take meth!!1!
- Comment on Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews 1 month ago:
It’s still extremely shitty unethical behavior in my book since the negative impact is not felt by the organization that’s failing to validate their inputs, but your peers who are potentially being screwed out of a review process and a spot in journal or conference
- Comment on Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews 1 month ago:
Caveat: not all of academia seems to be that rotten. The evidence found on arxiv.org is mainly, if not only, in the field of AI research itself 🤡
You can try it yourself, just type the following in googles search box:
allintext: “IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS” site:arxiv.org

Used to be thousands of if-statements in a trench coat. But even that got offshored 😮💨

At this rate we’ll soon have a decentralized para-religious terrorist organization full of brainlets that got scared shitless after discovering Roko’s Basilisk and are now doing the cyber lord’s bidding in order to not get punished once AGI arrives
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 2 months ago:
Nah not really…most of the time I’m at least doing a light metadata check, like who’s the maintainer & main contributors, any trusted folks have started the repo, how active is development and release frequency, search issues with “vulnerability”/“cve” see how contributors communicate on those, previous cve track record.
With real code audits… I could only ever be using a handful of programs, let alone the thought of me fully auditing the whole linux kernel before I trust it 😄
Focusing on “mission critical” apps feels pretty useless imho, because it doesn’t really matter which of the thousands of programs on your system executes malicious code, no? Like sure, the app you use for handling super sensitive data might be secure and audited…then you get fucked by some obscure compression library silently loaded by a bunch of your programs.
