@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems @ch33sus@mstdn.social So if there's SystemD implying SystemC, and then there was System V Unix, what are Systems A-C and E-U? Are there Systems W-Z?

@da_667 "congratulations on your free year of credit monitoring!" the fuck does *monitoring* do when I can't fucking *stop* what's happening

@evacide@hachyderm.io "if you are concerned about lack of privacy on your phone, you may want to consider throwing it into the sea" (/j)

@xgranade I have bad news about your bad ideas they're good ideas

@gregeganSF@mathstodon.xyz I think my (least?) favorite thing about this is how obviously this article was *also* LLM-written...

@da_667 isn't the whole fucking reason credit scores even exist to circumvent anti-discrimination laws and rules by using arbitrary numbers that just so happen to "correlate well" with race?

@SRAZKVT@tech.lgbt @Viss@mastodon.social I learned a while back there's a global .gitignore, so that's what I use to hide the Emacs and macOS detritus 😅

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange What you're responding to _is_ the nuanced position; it's saying that, even if it _could be_ conceded that genAI uses were actually practical and useful literally all of the time with zero review required, it would still not be worth the ecological, economical, and ethical, impacts (among many others) that were incurred in its development and maintenance. It is asserting that there is a trade-off (undeniable, imo) and saying the trade-off is still a bad one; maybe not necessarily for task at hand, but for society at large, like having a thresher fueled by human blood. @zkat@toot.cat @xgranade@wandering.shop

@rnd@toot.cat Thanks, I hate it (and I literally just typed out what strongly typed means into a text file about an hour or two ago for maximum self-gaslighting 😂)

@lucydev@wetdry.world @Foritus@toot.dusepo.co.uk Speaking for myself, I definitely will miss you as well -- but I also understand and would rather you have good mental health (overall health, really) and I'm sorry it got this bad

@aeva @britown please say 30-50

@mwl@io.mwl.io To be fair, I usually use "YOLO" internally as a sort of "get on with it already!"

@Elizafox@social.treehouse.systems hey, I mean, look, it might take him eight tries, but once he *gets it*.... it's... you know... okay...

@glyph@mastodon.social I also am currently working on a... book? It isn't really book-shaped yet so much as an overwrought glossary of terms defining only two terms for now, and I'm hoping once I get them all out, something about reading them back will click in a way that lets me flow them into something more resembling a narrative style that might suit a book. Stuff like "a program takes some or no input and produces some or no output." (It's supposed to be somewhere between philosophical and instructional for newbies, but I'm secretly trying to make it hit that spot where it makes everything Just Click like things did for me years ago, but I'm doing that without really remembering any particular insight that did that for me)

@glyph@mastodon.social @cczona@hachyderm.io @mttaggart@infosec.exchange okay, correction: maybe not always _large_ numbers. But... still

@glyph@mastodon.social @cczona@hachyderm.io @mttaggart@infosec.exchange I am not who you asked but I can confirm for myself that I find myself regularly doing manual arithmetic on large numbers partly to stay in the practice, partly to try and find easier ways to do it (and/or hopefully improve my general intuition about doing so), and partly out of being too lazy to reach for the nearest calculator sometimes (I know doing the arithmetic sounds _harder_ but... still).

@lucydev Less cryptically: you're effectively trying to do media access control, which classically has the problem that at some point, there must be human intelligible output that can, in turn, be recorded for non-human entities ("the analog hole"). You would eventually be needing to build against the Starlight Network's goals if you went far enough down the rabbit hole

@glyph This is all a component I hadn't really considered but entirely makes sense. And simultaneously reminds me of that scene in Ocean's Eleven where the one guy is trying to tell everybody why robbing a casino is a stupid fucking idea, capping the whole thing off with "and even if you *do* manage to pull all that off, *you're still in the middle of the fucking desert!*" (Which, tangentially, has become something of a metaphorical benchmark for me deciding whether it's worth doing some huge labor in general) All that to say, awesome thread 😄

@mym I got to speak to Mr. Profiler today :D

@xgranade no but actually--

@sylvie@gabriel.havfruefestning.com @hugo@social.treehouse.systems @Routhinator@tenforward.social True, but they are also at least _requiring_ disclosure about AI usage in games [1] _and_ issuing refunds as requested when games violate that requirement even on big titles [2]. 1: https://www.pcmag.com/news/steam-to-require-ai-disclosures-on-game-submissions 2: https://gamerant.com/steam-refunds-black-ops-7-player-due-to-games-ai-usage/

@glyph@mastodon.social I say "for beginners" but there might also be a scope-creep-y part of my brain that says "yes hahahaha incorporate @xgranade@wandering.shop 's types omnibus idea too hahaha yeeeeessssss"

@da_667@infosec.exchange Status page lying as usual though

@ehashman@cloudisland.nz Is this... for real?

@calx@infosec.exchange @da_667@infosec.exchange The One Piece certainly is an option, but a highly unlikely one. but still more likely than peace!

@da_667@infosec.exchange oh good, so it's not just me

@lucydev@wetdry.world Maybe there's like a shared shop/workspace/hackerspace in your area? I've lived around a few that give access to tools, possibly after certification
