love how every invidious instance has started becoming really unreliable. it's only a matter of time before youtube "accidentally" deletes hundreds of thousands of hours of the least-profitable videos it currently hosts

I wasn't surprised to learn that someone proposed a unit for reciprocal of resistance to be called the 'mho' (ohm backwards).
I was suprised to see it proposed by Lord fucking Kelvin in 1883.
He even suggests to play 'ohm' backwards in a phonograph to work out how to pronounce it.
19th century physics shitposting.
@libraryoferis oh wow, what an excellent resource! Thank you for putting this together.

SunOS 4.1.4 says it can't possibly be the year 2023: "WARNING: preposterous time in filesystem -- CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!"
sorry SunOS, there's nothing i can do to fix 2023.
This is just a Tanks vs Trees remake.
That is, they trained on a data set of 75+% white people, so the AI accidentally learned that white features are part of the idea of headshots.
But because we do imagegen from the classifier now, we can see the issue in this way instead of having to discover that it doesn't classify photos of Asians as headshots.
My work is so dysfunctional, but it resolved in my favor this time, I guess.
Big layoffs, but they only considered full time employees, and I've been languishing in hourly for a while because they couldn't manage to convert me despite me clocking 40 hour weeks for years now.
Two wrongs... keep me employed, I guess.

If you're still using Chrome for performance reasons:
- Firefox is now faster than Chrome out-of-the-box
- Firefox uses less memory than Chrome
- Contrary to Chrome, Firefox does not restrict Ad blockers, which will make your browsing experience much faster (and safer).

I often think about this scene from Patrick Farley's great web comic The Guy I Almost Was.
It was a reference to the Mondo2000 era but seems baked into the DNA of the modern web
@ZachWeinersmith the current trend in AI is generation, not search, unfortunately.
Me: Hey AI, where's that email I got from my mom?
AI: Here's what I think an email from your mom might look like.

Serious question, boost for maximum responses please? Trying to learn something here
Would you be worried that someone was trying to scam you or was fishy if they didn't use a Gmail address for their email? For example, they used Yahoo, Tutanota, Proton Mail, etc?

i'll have to dig into this; there are certainly mechanisms for code sharing that do not involve dynamic linking (like message passing & interrupt service routines) but i'm struggling to imagine a code-sharing mechanism based on linking that's not a variation on dynamic linking (even if it's static linking plus a kind of emulation of dynamic linking)...

absolutely losing my entire mind at this web site that decided to take their irritating distracting "chat with us" popups that no one ever asked for and make it *fucking bounce around like the fucking dvd logo* what the fuck is happening
