there's something real fucking dark about how AI is too inaccurate for tracking people around a grocery store so they have humans to make sure every last item is paid for, whereas if your AI is generating targets for a genocide then a serious error rate is perfectly within acceptable parameters.

I'm ready for the coming eclipse and for the second threat that could cast America into darkness.

I saw a guy at the airport with a shirt that said “SAVE THE MANUALS” and I thought “Hell yeah, brother! You may need to reference them in the future. Glad to see another fan of documentation.” Then I saw a weird symbol like an H with a | down the center, and I realized it was a dude who just really liked stick shift cars.

“When drivers fail to yield for pedestrians, it’s not because they can’t see them, it’s because they don’t care.” Kudos to @VisionZeroYVR for this brilliant intervention. https://momentummag.com/vision-zero-campaign-bricks-vancouver/ #TheWarOnCars

If vaccines caused autism, we would have high speed rail.

Angel: resurrection?
Chalmers: in this part of Jerusalem? at this time on the Roman calendar? Using these burial customs? Localized entirely entirely within Joseph of Arimathea's tomb?
Angel: yes?
apostle Thomas: may I see it?

Internet comes in via geosynchronous satellite that is directly ahead and can’t pass through the three masts, so we’ve altered course slightly to check email for the first time in a few days.

Everyone wants a simple solution to the xz incident but the reality hurts. It's going to be expensive and hard work but if we all work together to yeet computers into the sun we might just be able to solve it

I read somewhere that Fitbits are just modern day Tamagotchis and the stupid animal you’re trying to keep healthy is just you. I think about that a lot.
@letoram @SwiftOnSecurity that's an easy fix:
open up terminal
lsusb -v
find the webcam in the list
note down the 14th and 378th characters in the id
vi /etc/init.d/dev/webcam...
[17 dense pages omitted for brevity]
recompile the kernel twice
shutdown -r
wait 16 seconds, then
shutdown -r
and hey presto, you have a working webcam.
it only functions in negative greyscale for now, and the vertical flip can be confusing initially but is fine once you're used to it.
