Rewatching Stargate and international cooperation feels so strange and bereft somehow. A kinder path.

The series where he cooks in his own home was very relaxed. I only managed to watch American Hell's Kitchen for a single episode - it feels like torture.

Khan Academy Kids is incredible. Watching a toddler battle brain fatigue learning the number two because they want to is terrible and terrifying. If you let them pace themselves and treat it as a game without forcing a schedule they easily get two years ahead of schedule. But it is so much an outlier.

xz utils backdoor would have been carnage though. it almost succeeded too.

i miss handwriting input; both english and chinese writing. yes keyboard is faster but time spent writing isn't that wasted for me, and my posture is better when i used a drawing tablet exclusively instead of mouse and keyboard, also i've bullied windows handwriting recognition enough that it's pretty much chicken scratch input.

I was wavering between 1-3 and 1-4 but

early generation computers fueled a demand that was being supplied by rooms and rooms of human calculators calculating and checking each other's works for scientists, engineers, businesses, and government agencies

(Manhattan Project, Atomic Heritage Foundation picture)

they would not have died out, because they were a necessary part of the evolution of technology at their time. more importantly, they were more accurate than their human calculators. computers don't forget to carry a number to the next digit or flip them around. barring exceptionally rare cosmic radiation events. and their technological progression fueled an ever greater need until now when tech has entered post-scarcity when it comes to calculating power.

generative AI in contrast was an offering looking for a purpose. spare gigaflops no longer needed for tech people are trying to sell by building more and more hype for calculating power. sucks to be the one who invests into it, but that's business. sometimes investment don't work out. if microsoft can't hype up a demand then it is unnecessary technology.

Yeah...have you found monyet.cc yet

I think it's more like extracting raisins? ad contents are still separate from the dough. finding the boundary conditions or ads hashes is guaranteed to work. whether it is feasible for adblockers is a different matter yet.

i'm in tumblr and the posts about that vote was circulating there from day one, screencaps steadily increasing in vote number while i never saw it on reddit/lemmy or other places with some kind of algorithm as opposed to the simple reverse chronological feed that is tumblr's current default. i read the notes - people were reposting it elsewhere and it just disappear into the void. it was around 70% but was also very fast approaching the deadline when it exploded in popularity because of that guy.

in a way algorithms both almost killed and saved that petition - but there was a concerted, months long active action by uncountable number of people, a tremendous effort to save the petition and keep it going.

update: more on anonymous sudan and why this is a false flag attack

The attack has now pivoted to the The Organization for Transformative Works website and its donation site because the reaction to AO3 being down among its users is basically give it more money; both sites are now down while AO3 is back up under new configurations. Some apps are now not working but it is expected that this will be temporary.

Oooh, a doodle

All i follow on youtube are archaeological channels, and i was surprised by the sudden influx of videos on israel the very week israel started attacking. I noticed one channel that was hosting an israeli co-host stopped collaborating very soon, and months later posted a very nuanced, very politely angry video. But the number of videos establishing the legitimacy of israel all at once at that time cannot be anything but planned. Even National Geographic had a video out on the origins of Israel, at a timing that is so very suspect.
