I've never, (at least knowingly,) heard a double ocarina before, sounds kinda' neat.

@Xoa Gray TIL ocarinas are a real thing and were not just invented for the Zelda games!

Seeing a mention of meeting note takers reminded me: Teams administrators can add invisible participants to some or all calls. That's how one of the call recording providers my prior employer used worked. It's set as a policy and could be used for note or recording purposes, so treat all Teams calls as if they could be played back later.

how is that not a violation of wiretapping laws in 2 party consent states?!
Kay Ohtie mastodon (AP)

@Elbrar It's one of those things where the technical possibility never precludes the requirement to follow the law, I guess. Like, Microsoft has no idea what the hell your company policy is, so it may entirely be company policy mandating that all calls be recorded and so all employees are already aware.

As far as incoming calls for call center purpose, all of the incoming lines had that as like the very first thing that was said after the name of the line was spoken. I made sure of that every time, and even corrected a few of my co-workers if they forgot it.

Who knows if they're still correctly doing that since I'm not there. I feel like I was the only person who gave a shit about making sure that stuff was done well, and about learning new stuff.


I know it really seems like you are giving AI instructions, but you really aren't. You are pre-filling the text buffer that it will use to guide the prediction. If it goes off the rails, that is literally luck of the draw.

Has something in the law changed recently (and by "recently" I mean maybe 6 months to a year)? I was sure the cookie laws required there to be a "no" option that *didn't* require paying money to refuse cookies. Now I see high profile web sites like the Guardian giving the options "have your data harvested" or "pay for a subscription" (which, of course, won't opt you out of data harvesting because you'll have to be logged in and therefore be even more fully tracked than before). (Thank goodness Firefox's "reader view" bypasses the pop-up entirely.)

no, they're just assuming no one will sue them.

I also did sign up to guardian to try it out, because yeah fair enough reporters need to eat; and they repeatedly log you out on every article load, so its useless. Cancelled and gave up on them after that.

It is hard to admit ignorance, so when one of the new recruits to the Pangalactic Bureaucracy raised a tentacle with a question, Xtrrt let them ask.

"What is 'fafo quotient'?"

"A Human term. Fuckaroundment over Findoutability. We stay over 2.718. Humans..." Xtrrt paused. "... hope for over 1."

Am I dumb or is this upside down? This implies Pangalactic fucks around more and finds out less, while humans find out more than they fuck around. Which I am not sure is what has been happening.

I danced!!! In a dance competition!!! Oh gosh how did I even do that wow

My greatest hope is that those who watched were entertained for a couple minutes. 💙

Greetings fellow dwagon!
I sadly missed your performance and other times you were about though I enjoyed the con~
I also wish I got a photo of Azakir's face when we reconnected :3
Maybe next time I'll see you about too~
@B22_SSS aaaa I'm sorry I missed you too! I spent a lot of the con recovering in my room, I was really struggling for energy this time around, but hopefully our paths will cross soon!

During busy cons I like to find a quiet spot to relax for a bit and zone out while play some tunes, usually at like 2am when we're all a bit sideways 🍻 #fursuitfriday

When my brother and I were kids, my father once (early 90's or so) came home from work with a shirt pocket full of RAM sticks my brother had asked him to buy, and it was some pitifully small amount of MB that cost...$400 I think at the time? So it is both hilarious and depressing to see that history is now repeating itself...

Also dammit I should have done the "Buy fuckloads of SSD's in 2019 and rip all my CD's, then throw the oldest ones out" but I was all but I am le tired so I fired the missiles and didn't and now look where we are. OOPS.

Efficient programming making a comeback, maybe?

When I think of all the money that has been spent on "AI", how literally trillions of dollars have been spent on this grift that literally does nothing good for anyone and will be remembered as a great stain on humanity.

I think of how much good could have been done with all that money. how many people that don't have food could have been fed? How many homeless people could have been taken off the streets and given a home? How much work could funding like that have done for disease research?

Seriously, fuck these rich assholes. They're not even producing something that works, and they're making unfathomable amounts of money.

I watched this video a few days ago and yeah, I am 100% behind what he says.
On a side note, I think seeing Adam Savage truly angry would be terrifying.
@zrowolf I think a cold rage would be even scarier, honestly… he is a man who could F people up if he really wanted to

Looking into getting an e-ink e-reader. I was considering a Kobo Clara, which has several features I like (repairability, and not being an Amazon product) but having checked how big 6" is as a screen size (B7, i.e. smaller than A6) I'm not so sure. I'm mostly expecting to sideload PDFs, so no reflowing, so I'm now wondering how big a screen I'm likely to need for typical books. I'm sure I know people here who have experience of such devices — any ideas?

I often use the kindle app on my phone for reading. which is probably around the B6 size.

I'd probably look at getting an old gen 1 kindle if they are still around/cheap. the one with the keyboard. As they can be de-amazoned IIRC. Even if not. You can drag and drop files over and use non amazon services to move/convert things.

I heard stories of people who've fed crows, and been given gifts in return. It sounded charming, so I began doing that.

Then, one night, there was a rapping on my bedroom window. I stumbled up and opened.

A crow flew in and spoke: "They're coming for you. You must flee."

I only just made it out.

Something similar happened to me. The crow was a gas station attendant with a rumor to share. I canceled the illegal thing.
dasparadoxon mastodon (AP)
( they really, really give you gifts. they sleep in front of your house to protect you. I can verify that by first hand experience. Also they want you to come hunting with them and they are really annoyed if you do not hunt with them. )

maybe we shouldn't base the idea of artificial consciousness on some test a dude invented in the 1950s while thinking about boys, he was probably distracted

even then I think he just set it as just one milestone that might show something promising, something that could be tested for, not the end all be all as proof of perfection

imagine if people treated the Bechdel Test with as much reverence (and ironically it actually being rarer to see pass)

and of course there's the idea that Turing's test says less about advancements in computing and more about the gullibility of the average human

Samar sits at his desk, surrounded by codes and study notes, doing the work that now fills his days. Every so often, he glances at his scrubs hanging on the wall, feeling a quiet sense of nostalgia.

He recently became a surgeon, but chose to spend this year studying biostatistics instead of returning to the hospital. It’s a different kind of focus now. But this is just a pause between his two paths

We make so many decisions in life and that may seem very stressing and overwhelming. I’ve learned that whichever path we choose becomes the right one, because there is always something waiting for us there.

Picture for Samar the Bun

And there is a full video of the process of this drawing awaiting for you to watch, at the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

As you can see on that process, at first I thought it was going to be a portrait mode picture, but then I decided the composition was going to look better on landscape mode, but that change of decision made the video to be on landscape.

I'm also sharing a full version of that process video, as well as the full resolution, and many more exclusive things, at supporting my work subscribing at:
