Nothing I post necessarily represents my current self because technically it is not my current self and statistically it never was.

Something exceptionally grim is happening on the Internet.
In the last few months, the constant flood of algorithmically generated junk content has kicked into an AI-powered overdrive, and it is cutting a swath of destruction as it overwhelms search engines, filters, and moderation systems
Call it Gresham's Law 2.0: bad content drives out good.
I'm starting this thread to document it, because there is a *lot* happening all at once.

@foone i think 1) what travels at the speed of light is the shot from the portal gun to the surface
2) there isn't a delay from going in one portal abd going out the other, it being a pseudo-wormhole kind of situation

In Portal, using the portal gun to get to the moon is the obvious space travel usage, but I think people are overlooking how it'd let you trivially break the rocket equation.
Hell, you could build a >1g torchship using nothing but the ocean.
@piggo anytype?

Daily reminder that Discord is not a wiki, guide site, or a forum. "Did you ask on the Discord?" is not a valid answer because someone will be looking for that info in a few years and either find invalid invites, or a dead Discord that they have to try to unearth their answer in previous discussion like they're trying to find obsidian arrowheads in Egypt. Assuming that Discord server even still exists at that point. And unlike when a site vanishes, there is no wayback machine for Discord servers

Exactly 14 years ago , Satoshi Nakamoto designed the most pathetic / inefficient system ever invented by humankind : the blockchain.
Today, it weights 60 000 tons, wastes constantly 10 gigawatts .. to process less than 7 transactions per second :
Less than a 33 bps modem from 1990.
This could be joke if it didn't have such gigantic environmental impact, wasn't enabling billion dolllars ransomware industry and was not crushing thousands of lives in the process.

In 1998, I stayed online for over 20 hours straight and got a warning email from my ISP
if it weren't for the existance of hardware, software would never fail
i think the solution's obvious

are people already familiar with this story about hard-boiled eggs or did i just stumble upon an absolute gem of a cautionary tale about algorithmic perfection? (annals of the history of computing, january 1983, volume 5, issue 1)

Fediverse folks:
Using cutesy extended font tricks like ₜₕᵢₛ basically triggers a denial of service attack on folks who use screen readers.
Instead of saying "this" it says "Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small T Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small H Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small I Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic Small S"
Let's be cool the folks who have to use screen readers to participate in our community and don't do that.

Hate speech gets all the attention. But fear is what leaders use to inspire violence. Fear that the election has been stolen. Fear that trans movement is erasing women. Fear that children are being groomed by pedophiles. This is dangerous speech.
Susan Benesch of the Dangerous Speech Project says the key feature of it is that it persuades “people to perceive other members of a group as a terrible threat. That makes violence seem acceptable, necessary or even virtuous.”

My cat is a Small Language Model. His outputs include yelling and purring. He accepts prompts but they don't change the output much. Still, he improves my life and helps me code sometimes

Fellow non-native speakers, how do you decide whether to post in you native language or in english? I'm still trying to decide whether to appeal to more people globally or to more of my underpriviliged community.
I have a job offer tomorrow, my first ever. I've been looking for a job for 3-4 years, and in that time I've built up pretty much every emotion in the emotion wheel on top of the event of "getting a job". My brain is going a bit haywire.
Years of postponing feelings, worries, and problems to 'when I get a job', always thinking that it was something that was just around the corner, are finally catching up to me.
I can't properly process and believe that it's actually happening until I get all the details tomorrow, so part of me is still going 'ah, what if you're feeling all these things and then you end up not *actually* getting the job.
Anyways, send emotional strength and good luck 😅
