From a pragmatic standpoint I get Wikimedia making deals with AI companies: They will scrape anyways, this way you might get some money.

But it still _feels_ off. Telling all volunteers "you are working for Microsoft/Perplexity/etc for free now" _feels_ wrong.

@0xabad1deaabadidea I feel the same when I have to explain that FFMPEG rawdogging assembly is not the "performance" tradeoff that people should look at and go "holy based".

They openly admit to lying about ABI-stability when they know damn well they re-shuffle enum values between random updates, why the fuck would anyone trust them to be able to maintain assembly code with instructions that look like passwords.

The code is already unreadable, the specs for it are buried in NDAs and patent hellholes, which doesnt matter because FFMPEG is very proud to diverge from specs. That codebase does not need to include assembly to become a security nightmare and going "see no evil hear no evil" while closing your eyes and plugging your ears doesn't fucking work because some fucker is 100% gonna speak a lot of evil. Media files are historically one of the most reliable things to look into if you're looking for a 0-click 10/10 RCE.

It is impossible to trust a review of projects like these, I don't care how skilled and certified the team signing off on it was, if they don't find anything they did not understand what they were reading and one day someone on the red team will do a better job than them.

Notice for Players Regarding Server Time Adjustment

A very early reminder to many players, mostly in Europe DCs - remember that on March 30, the server time will be adjusted by an extra hour ahead to align with the in-game day-night cycle. This may interfere with many features such as public transit, career quests, and some items with a clock feature may display incorrect time.

well. i guess it’s time for a look in the mirror

it has the energy of someone desperately trying to sustain a redditor’s attention. pathetic

@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ Free-space communication using anything longer than 1.2um (e.g. 1550nm SFP modules) might be quite unlikely to be detected, due to invisibility to Si cameras. The government where I live believes itself entitled to regulate all communication via infrared, but has graciously granted the public a licence to use TV remotes, perhaps to gratify themselves that they are not being disobeyed. The power limit of 125mW probably means that many hot objects are illegal to communicate with.

ActivityPub standardization is back! The #W3C just announced a new Working Group to evolve #ActivityPub and #ActivityStream and related standards! This is extremely good news. It's not like all the world's federated social media protocol problems were already solved! lists.w3.org/Archive...

Very often theorems with short statements have long proofs, but, occasionally, useful theorems have statements that are longer than their proofs, and, moreover, where it is more difficult to understand the statement than the proof.

I missed designing languages. https://ooc-lang.github.io/ was back in 2009!! 17 years ago! The language I'm making now is not a programming language but it's still really nice to design.

anyway it's been half a day of posting about gas town, expect me to not post much about it after this. just kinda wanted to get this out there.
