@tallison @Richr Everyone wants Gemini. Stock prices told them so.

As a more serious note could we stop treating chatbots as intelligent beings with a concept of reality? Asking a statistical text generator program to "leave you alone" is absurd (it is a program that generates text, it can't stop itself from doing so) and reinforces the ridiculous narrative that these corporations want us to accept.

For the love of god would some of you smart people please apply, https://grnh.se/5a948d792us getting some really poor candidates to wade through and surprised there isn't better given how many layoffs have occurred recently.

Another NEWAG train just stopped and a regional Polish operator is looking for someone to fix it. 😅
(news item is in Polish)
It also says the train is currently undergoing a routine servicing which makes it sound like this happened while at a competitor's workshop... again.

Tonight, we'll explore the WAD file format, the minimalist and elegant archive file format used in Doom, many FPS games, but also other unrelated softwares!

@ekuber Wow, this would've made the exercise almost too easy! :D I wanted to make a comment about E207 but I see you already fixed that one too. My trust in the Rust community just increased a lot (not that I had any bad experiences so far)!

CISA: Closing the Software Understanding Gap
CISA, along with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD R&E), and the National Security Agency (NSA) published Closing the Software Understanding Gap (PDF) which urges the U.S. government to take decisive and coordinated action to close the software understanding gap. This gap arises from a disparity of technical investment where software production has outstripped investment in improving understanding for decades. By closing the software understanding gap, the United States will help mission owners and operators trust the system is functional, safe, and secure, and support confidence in national security and critical infrastructure systems.

@ekuber you are awesome, thank you! I'm sure your ticket will also help me better understand the situation.

New: this OnlyFans model publishes her machine learning explainers to both YouTube and Pornhub. Although YouTube may get a million views, that'll generate around $300. The same content posted to Pornhub, with ~30k views, makes $1000. We spoke to her https://www.404media.co/why-this-onlyfans-model-posts-machine-learning-explainers-to-pornhub/

@dey Win11 **makes** you know :D

@qwertyoruiop I'm no expert but IIRC sound engineers usually calculate with the expected listening medium too. For example there was an article about how commercial pop is mastered so it'll get into your head when played in malls, and they can probably also take into account that people will listen to a track from YT on a 3G connection.
