I remember when this was just a joke on Futurama. Why does life imitate art in the dumbest way possible‽

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It’s out there. You just have to search for it.

Just like the OceanGate Titan.

Context: I heard that lemmy will upvote anything. This is literally just a can of fucking beans

And then there was weeks and weeks of bean posts.

Someone spread the rumor that JD Vance admitted to having coitus with a couch, and the rest was memes.

That isn’t what that article says. It talks about American Rounds and other companies that use vending machine to sell restricted products. A different company Master Ammo found using AI for facial verification to be costly when they looked at it “years ago”. The article doesn’t specify how long ago that was. If it was 12 years ago, which is the age of Master Ammo, I would find that plausible.

The machine for American Rounds was pulled because of “disappointing sales”. Retail space ain’t free, and I bet it has slim margins too.

In any case, the whole endeavor may not be viable in the long run. They either have to get costs low enough to compete with brick and mortar stores and the Big Box stores, or they have to go where none exist while finding enough locations to recoup development costs. The devil’s in the details and unfortunately all the reporting on this has been quick news stories.

There’s talk on the Linux kernel mailing list. The same person made recent contributions there.

Andrew (and anyone else), please do not take this code right now.

Until the backdooring of upstream xz[1] is fully understood, we should not accept any code from Jia Tan, Lasse Collin, or any other folks associated with tukaani.org. It appears the domain, or at least credentials associated with Jia Tan, have been used to create an obfuscated ssh server backdoor via the xz upstream releases since at least 5.6.0. Without extensive analysis, we should not take any associated code. It may be worth doing some retrospective analysis of past contributions as well…

You can try it and find out.

Yet another example of why we need privacy laws with real teeth.

Do you mean Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)?

Some back of the envelop math. It took about 8 hours 40 minutes to get to 13,800 digits, give or take.
That’s an average of 26.5384615384615 digits / minute.
At the current rate it would take ~37,681 minutes to read 1 million digits.
Or 628.019323671498 hours.
Or around 26 days 4 hours.

Needs more jpeg.

Or a shape shifting alien from a 1980’s horror film.

They’re using AI to generate summaries of chat logs.

I don’t believe they’ve had an IPO yet, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they start selling that data to hit profitability.

Forums do it better, can be indexed by a search engine, can be bookmarked, and can be archived using the wayback machine or a similar service. Important information shouldn’t be buried in chat logs. And discord’s forum feature was an idea they tacked on and is a poor substitute for the real thing.

You got me curious enough to look and what a shitshow of a person working against their own self-interests. She’s a good candidate for [email protected].

Aaaannnnd she’s already there, lol.

A complete and utter mental break down which culminated with me bursting into tears in my supervisor’s office. He’s a cool guy though, so that was just very awkward for him.

Overall, not an approach I would recommend, but it did put things into perspective for me. I did seek professional help after that, but I had already broken through a lot of the tough stuff. Also, it took 2-1/2 months to see a psychiatrist.

As for anxiety overall, it never really goes away. You can learn to recognize it and develop habits to break that feedback loop. Sometimes I have to say to myself, “It’s time to stop this,” then mean it and actually deal with what’s put me in a higher state of anxiety.

Brand new sentence

Sorry, had to. That’s Southern gold.
