For anyone unfamiliar with sailor superstitions, changing a ship’s name is believed to basically make it cursed.

Sounds like meat floss. I’ve never had it, but several variations pop up pretty high when I sort snacks on Yami (Asian snack shopping site) by popularity.

Yeah, the problem doesn’t begin and end at the train/bus station. Anyone afraid to be taking Metro alone due to harassment is probably also going to be afraid of walking on the street alone, too, which is also an issue.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the Canadian ICE killed?

Growing up and living in the US and then accidentally learning to taste the butyric acid after tasting chocolate without it made me sad :(

I can understand women and trans people being afraid of Metro and other transit, especially if they’ve had bad experiences in the past. It’s more dangerous for some people to be alone in public than others.

Saying that as someone who’s been called slurs on public transit, but also is usually perceived as a fem guy. My biggest concern is definitely still getting sick (N95s every single trip).

You shouldn’t combine bleach with basically any acid, because the same reaction can occur to free the chlorine in bleach and create chlorine gas. Vinegar is a weak acid so it will probably create less by volume than a similar amount of ammonia would, but you don’t want to breathe it.

Thanks, I’ve been trying to decide on what CZM series to check out next since I caught up on Behind the Bastards.

No it in fact has something like knowledge

Lots of training data isn’t knowledge. You have to be able to reason and think to have knowledge, otherwise you just have data points.

No, it does have goals

Humans who make LLMs have goals. An LLM or image generator can’t have goals any more than a sewing machine has a goal, because they aren’t conscious.

It sounds like they have some kind of wake function that it’s always listening for? I don’t think that’s a common feature in headphones just because of the battery drain, but they’re always chucking useless features on electronics so I’m sure some are floating around out there. I doubt it’s something you wouldn’t know about unless they were secondhand, though.

Even if these attacks seem frightening on paper, the ERNW researchers are reassuring: many conditions must be met to carry out an eavesdropping attack. First and foremost, the attacker(s) must be within range of the Bluetooth short-range radio; an attack via the Internet is not possible. They must also carry out several technical steps without attracting attention. And they must have a reason to eavesdrop on the Bluetooth connection, which, according to the discoverers, is only conceivable for a few target people. For example, celebrities, journalists or diplomats, but also political dissidents and employees in security-critical companies are possible targets.

I guess they didn’t point this out because it’s kind of obvious, but it sounds like they also have to actually be on to be exploited. So it’s not going to turn on and start listening to you at least. Definitely concerning, but I’m still gonna be listening to my audio books and podcasts with my wireless headphones.

What category of person would you say has the same level of cognition as an LLM?

If you hate the feel of sunscreen like I do, check out UPF clothing 👍

Lmao, I’m glad the inexplicable Mexico filter jumps out at other people too

This is step one of taking it away from all trans people. Useful idiots think not letting trans kids have hormones or surgery is the ‘compromise position’ to a controversy that doesn’t exist in the medical community, but it’s just a stepping stone to being more and more restrictive about who is allowed to transition.

Switching my default answer to that to “I’ve been better” with doctors has worked wonders for me.

Oh man, that’s awful, where is it? So I can avoid it 👀

Moggy can be used for cats the way mutt is for dogs, but I think it might be more common in the UK? I don’t really hear it in the US, maybe cat breeders use it.

But yeah, for vets and rescues it’s just domestic short hair/long hair (sometimes medium hair).

A manga with 18 naked cowboys? You’ve got my attention, go on

¡Felicitaciones!
