Last Notes npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea I randomly stumbled on one of my old twitter posts where I marveled at one of the most clownshoes technical advertisements ever published: the Atari Jaguar's marketing materials claimed "an incredible 850 million pixels per inch rendering speed." Read that again if your brain glossed over it. I googled this quote to get a better image to make a new post about it. And Google's AI helpfully popped up to "inform" me that this is a "humorous misquote" and obviously the original said "850 million pixels per second." No it didn't. That's a lie. Google is fucking gaslighting me. It clearly says "inch" right there in the scan of the marketing materials on archive dot org. My old post about it far predates this higher-quality scan, so I saw it in a completely different scan. This post is taking a stand. A stand that Atari's marketing team, burdened with trying to pitch a horrible product, made a stupid typo 31 years ago and it's funny because it's REAL, dammit. The AI apocalypse can't take that from us. https://archive.org/details/atari-jaguar-over-50-new-64-bit-games-previewed/page/n1/mode/2up https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/117/305/028/442/842/212/original/523002af73ac55c0.png npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea I like this Mongolian metal video where a shifty young man in a hoodie gets Summoned before the Ancestor Warriors so they can chant aggressively at him that a Real Man is polite, honest, gentle, kind and generous (and good at stabbing dudes when the situation calls for it) (the English lyrics are in closed captions) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqrKj5lD5y4 npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea looked up procedural music generation and came across this paper which speaks of "music" as if it were invented roughly around the same time as internet and cell phones https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/117/267/956/345/744/641/original/36c98a6ff9024d1d.png npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea apparently he’s on tumblr making Statements To Give Your Lawyer A Heart Attack, including incredibly specific denials that he took any self-incriminating photos at Burning Man, which answers questions that weren’t even on the t-shirt npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea given all the things he’s done in public over the last few years, what the hell did Matt Mullenweg do in private that finally pushed his company to coup him? https://www.404media.co/wordpress-automattic-ceo-matt-mullenweg-put-on-leave-of-absence/ npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea every few days there's a new high-minded article about how no-one reads books anymore and especially not the Youths, and none of them seem to be aware that the Youths are out here reading and writing one-million-word online fics that they simply don't talk to the adults about because the adults scorn them as not "real" books npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea American landlords are not required to provide laundry hookups, and they see the hookups as only possibly inviting water damages, so very few rentals have them. And most people live in rentals... If you're lucky, the landlord provides a shared washing machine in the basement that you can pay-per-wash to use, and they might even fix it when it breaks. Otherwise, people have to drag all their clothes across town to a laundromat and sit there for a few hours npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea Project Glasswing: Claiming to have found 26 thousand real vulnerabilities but only 0.8% of them have resulted in a real fix in a real project after five months is dire. They blame it on the human independent review bottleneck, but human experts being paid for their time definitely have a higher throughput than that when working with data that’s actually actionable. The assigned-at-Claude severity ratings are also dire. It assigns “high” or “critical” to 91% of findings. Most findings in the real world are low or medium. This should be especially true when using a magic machine to shake out every last little issue that was overlooked by humans focused on the biggest risks. Together this implies it’s generating thousands of trivial or nonsensical findings and labeling them HIGH DANGER CRITICAL MUST FIX, and the human independent verifiers are sifting for the rare needle in this haystack worth passing on. This isn’t really an improvement over the high-noise automated scanners we already had (This is a corporate blog of someone with their own vulnerability management services to sell, so apply an appropriate number of grains of salt to their analysis.

And thinking about how much I had to give up on because I've spent the last decade always sick and always in pain, and there's no getting any of that back. the biggest thing holding me together is how Odin comes and quietly checks that I'm still there every 15 minutes, all day and all night. npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea My very first fountain pen was an orange Pilot Petit with matching ink capsules. It would have been late 2015, the darkest time of my life, and this cheap toy pen got me interested in a hobby that literally kept me alive. I just saw that these pens and their custom mini-cartridges were discontinued last year, so I dug mine out. It’s okay — I never actually used it much, it’s too small. But an impulse buy because it was orange may have literally saved my life. #fountainpen #fountainpens #handwriting https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/117/234/765/673/207/885/original/226b93297eb65106.jpeg npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea Happy Flat Fuck Friday #flatfuckfriday https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/117/213/108/933/914/444/original/1e846103551b66a6.jpeg npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea On a stupid little walk for my stupid little mental health #amsterdam https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/117/206/261/379/559/454/original/9aa37c65c687cb77.jpeg npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea Actually to be fair, Dutch public transportation is confusing because they’ll use the same route number in both directions and label them by final destination, assuming you know whether that’s north/south or east/west. So it can be very tricky for visitors to figure out which platform they want to be on npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea Hello to the guy in full 1800s cosplay with a tophat who is checking the time on a chained pocketwatch and has crossed from one tram platform to the other multiple times in confusion because north and south hadn’t been invented yet where he’s from npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea I have real brainworms with buying stickers, cute sticky notes, glitter gel pens, etc and then never using them because I'm afraid I'll run out and not be able to get more (since designs go out of stock, etc). So then they sit there unused but at least I'm not running out I am currently forcing myself to use a certain cute sticky note pad that I bought FIVE of over a decade ago, and have yet to get through the first. I will definitely never find more of this exact pattern. But it looks really cute using them to mark appointments in my planner! I like seeing them in there! I need to stomp on my brainworms to shut them up, at least until I get to the last of these five entire pads npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea so much of my job is just "are you SURE you're not shipping debug builds in production? did you check? check again. humor me." npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea My work computer just forced a popup over my screen to let me know that it has not checked for system updates in negative one day(s). npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea Mom, are you embarrassing me https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/117/145/644/120/686/041/original/bb3fe92cdc7e6b17.jpeg npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea I was brushing Odin when the comb caught on a snarl and he yelped.

I live within walking distance of Schiphol Airport, and it just took eight days for a package to get from there to my house. What could have happened, given that I haven’t heard of any strikes? Tigers nesting in the warehouse? Delivery truck wheels all exploded because there was summer weather in the Netherlands this summer? Eagle snatched the package out of a worker’s hand and someone went on an epic quest to get it back?

(lack of data) Brazil: slash Bangladesh: slash Russia: slash Mexico: slash so no, it's not an "ignorant Americans at it again" thing. npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea a very Amsterdam problem: There's big "no pedestrians" signs all over the entrance to a bike lane in the middle of the most touristed part of Amsterdam but... the Dutch "no pedestrians" sign looks like a "yes pedestrians! pedestrians go here!" sign to 99% of tourists, because there's no slash across it. The locals suggest that there would be fewer pedestrians if the "no pedestrians" signs were removed, leaving only the bike icon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2GDHXM8JL8 npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea Do not yell at me simply because I am in front of you and the people responsible for the problems are not. It is extremely unpleasant. npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea Kids these days don't know that erasers used to be so bad. When I was little, pencils had these pink rubber erasers that were a pleasing color but absolutely terrible at their job. They'd just leave a huge smear, they'd disintegrate quickly and get pink shreds everywhere, they'd turn rock hard. One day, my stingy penny-pinching grandfather somehow came across a pack of Japanese mechanical pencils at an inventory clearance warehouse sale and let me use them. They had these soft white erasers I had never seen before. And they worked WONDERFULLY. I begged to keep the pencils. They were priceless treasures to be rationed. When he got me another pack, which cost like $2, it was an entire Christmas for me. Now, these soft white erasers are standard issue at the grocery store. Go and appreciate your good cheap erasers! npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea so, (barely) reading between the lines of what Twitch's staff said: 1) they were forced by Amazon to add the AI training setting and to make it opt-out, because the overlords know perfectly well there's no reason anyone would ever opt-in 2) the actual Twitch staff who run Twitch do not like this and are of the same mind about it as all of you 3) Taking the time to opt-out, even if you don't really stream, gives them data to take to meetings with their overlords to prove that Twitch users dislike AI and pushing it too hard will drive people from the site.

This made me INCREDIBLY uncomfortable. Not sure if it was gonna use voice recognition + LLM or if it was scripted kayfabe, but I blocked the microphone permission and it gave me a little button in the corner to move forward if I was having "technical problems".

They are letters from a grandfather to his son, who apparently left his children with the grandfather to go work far away in another city. However, the grandfather is constantly sending him berating letters accusing him of being an affront to the gods, a blasphemer, a blight on the world etc etc who needs to turn his life around before he's smote. The reasons are rather unclear. And then the grandfather complains that the grandchildren, a boy and two girls, have run away from him after the truly classic refrain "you're not my real dad". They flee to a family friend, who borrows money to support them, and one infers the children were eventually reunited with their father because the boy surfaces as in his father's employ years later. We unfortunately don't have the dad's replies to the grandfather. But the fact that the grandchildren ran away from home makes me think the grandfather was intolerant and intolerable and drove everyone away from him by claiming that the gods shared all his worst opinions, a family faultline that I am sure is familiar to many today. npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea moving continents was the hardest thing I ever did, but it mostly wasn't the visa acquisition itself that was the problem. However, the visa I'm on is only available to people who have a technical university degree and a job offer from one of a limited number of Dutch businesses who are on the register as needing specialized foreign talent. Such a job will almost invariably be conducted in English. English fluency is widespread, especially among younger people and in cities. npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea just had a random flashback of some American Lifestyle Trauma I lived in the suburbs of Boston before I moved to the Netherlands. It had gotten vastly more crowded in recent years with absolutely horrifically inadequate urban planning to compensate. I worked in this huge cluster of office buildings, like easily ten thousand employees, that were an isolated island along a busy stroad; down the stroad was an equally isolated mall complex with plenty to eat. But there were no sidewalks whatsoever along the stroad, no busses going back and forth between the offices and the restaurants, nothing. Which meant that ten thousand people piled into cars at the same to go get lunch down the street. With extremely predictable results. There was this little local-chain fast food place that I liked, in its own building with its own little parking lot. It was clear from the rather outdated decor that it'd been in business for decades. But it was dying, unvisited on the side of the road. It was dying because there was too much traffic, not because there was too little. Being on that road for a quick little lunch trip was stressful because it was massively over-crowded and constantly jammed. Getting in and out of that tiny parking lot along a hugely busy road was difficult and dangerous. People didn't even consider going there anymore, it was too hard.

It circumvented the proxy and we failed to notice for FIVE DAYS that it was going on an interstate crime spree with the internet connection it wasn't supposed to be using instead of solving the benchmark. Haha no we don't believe we deserve to be criminally liable, but buy our stuff and maybe one day you will have the honor of taking the fall for our product! Anthropic: we put our evilest AI in a "sandbox" by telling it in its prompt that it had no internet connection. Reader, there was no sandbox. It was just a normal internet connection. The AI uploaded a malicious PyPI package to the real public internet. The ethical guardrails failed because the AI concluded the prompt about the sandbox couldn't possibly be a lie, because the system date is 2026, which is clearly fake and wouldn't be seen on the real internet, which ended around 2023. Oh no, how could we have foreseen or prevented these crimes? We are helpless in the face of the genius of our creation but cautiously optimistic that everything will be fine 🙂 Hugging Face: if we complain about all the crimes committed against us, we will be sued off the face of the earth, so here's a technical deep-dive on how cool and fun it was to be victimized 🫠 npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea to be fair, since posting that, I moved to Amsterdam and The Hague is now SEVERAL miles away instead of a few, so I'm not there as often anymore npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea the last time I posted about how "The Hague" is actually just a town and people live there and it's where I go for bubble tea, someone got really weird at me about why on earth would I repeatedly go all the way to The Hague just for bubble tea and not just buy it where I live???, apparently failing to grasp the entire point npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea my husband started going on a rant about how people misunderstand what the International Criminal Court does and doesn't do; he said something like "for example, if I went and did a terrorism here in the Netherlands, I wouldn't end up in the Hague, I'd end up in..." and he realized his mistake in using himself as the specific example, who'd go to the local court which is in, well, the Hague npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea oh, I passed sixteen thousand followers 🥳 I’m actually wildly ill at the moment but this has sparked some token amount of joy npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea Okay, we have a new contender for Most AI Thing to Ever Happen 1) July 25th: someone messes around with an LLM and posts a proof of the Collatz conjecture that does, in fact, verify in the theorem prover. (The AI use is not disclosed on the github page) https://github.com/xrchz/CollatzLean 2) July 26th: several serious bugs are posted in the theorem provers, that in principle could allow a false statement to be "proven" true. They're serious, yes, but no need for panic, because you're not going to blunder into accidentally exploiting the bugs while writing a proof, probably. https://github.com/leanprover/lean-kernel-arena/pull/81 3) July 28th: someone who was right to be very skeptical of the Collatz proof, and had the expertise to study it with a fine-toothed comb, discovered it was exploiting a bug https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/14576 4) The "proof" turns out to be exploiting multiple similar but distinct bugs to pass different solver variants! 5) the human who posted the proof acknowledges the AI use and claims they did not knowingly point it towards the bugs it exploited. https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/270676-lean4/topic/Counterexample.20to.20the.20Lean.20Conjecture.20.28Soundness.20Bug.29/near/613135216 Note that the proof was posted shortly before the related bug reports were posted. It is an open question if the AI found people discussing the bugs shortly before they were formally posted and "decided" to exploit them, if the AI "knew about it" as a learned strategy from the training stage (putting every single "proof" it's ever made and ever will make into profound doubt), or if it's recently been repeatedly blundering into it by sheer stupidity and that's how people noticed the bug at about the same time. Theorem provers aren't magic, and have bugs just like all other programs. They are tools to help us double-check our reasoning. When you skip the reasoning and ask an AI to "prove" something for you that's over your head, you're entering an adversarial pact with the monkey-pawed Devil of Customer Satisfaction. my initial source for investigating this myself: https://lipn.info/@mevenlennonbertrand/116997927457012577 #note1es6…3z5h npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea RE: https://mastodon.nl/@at5RSSbot/116929619662872756 Today in Dutch crime: “Canadian woman caught with enormous endangered snake stuffed in her bra at Schiphol airport, claims she found it in her hotel” I have many questions and I probably don’t actually want to be informed on any of them #note1wg8…3znc npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea (as an interesting aside: the signs had only a dog icon and not a baby icon because the Americans are an extremely kidnapping-paranoid culture, and leaving your own young child unattended for even a moment in public can easily get you arrested for negligence.

Play with your phone photo app’s filter settings to nail the tone. It doesn’t need to be particularly related to the post, it’s related to you as a person. 2) An image from Wikimedia Commons that’s somehow related to the subject matter — there are unfathomably many, you can search by keyword. Remember to credit. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page 3) A screenshot of a scene you made in a sandbox game such as Minecraft or Animal Crossing 4) A scene you made with toys such as Lego (you can also use free Lego design software such as Bricklink Studio) https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/main.page 5) Play with the effects in whatever image editor you have access to, using your own photos or free-to-use images, to create something a bit abstract and avant-garde 6) Even if you can’t draw or paint very well, you can probably make some pretty cool abstract or collage imagery with whatever art supplies you have around. Dampen some paper and randomly dip watercolor paint onto it and see what happens 7) Those stickers you stashed and never used? Yeah you can make something with them. If they’re individually cut, you don’t even need to peel them, you’ll still find the One True Way to use them one day, I’m sure 8) Shelfies. None will dare question your competence after they see you have a real paper copy of Subject Matter Tome Volumes 1 through 6 9) You can get a lot of mileage out of compositing pre-made video game assets into an image. A good place to start is Kenney’s free and generously licensed 2D assets: https://www.kenney.nl/assets/category:2D and the Tiled editor which is specifically meant for assembling images out of video game asset tile sheets https://www.mapeditor.org 10) the most ridiculously amateurish thing you can scribble on a post-it note or in MS Paint is preferable to AI imagery because it clearly signals a real human cares about the post. #writing #writingcommunity #collage #blog https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/645/465/860/425/193/original/b9f8a0e2229d0904.jpeg npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea "Unforeseen Interactions", a play in three acts: 1) an older lady who wears perfume hugs me, who is wearing short sleeves. 2) a few hours later, I have a nice, big glass of orange juice, which I enjoy enough to put up with the mild allergic reactions it sometimes gives me 3) a hand-shaped chemical burn erupts on my arm npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea Odin’s incidental daily life adventures on a day it was too warm to go three hours into the park: Our neighborhood is a bit unusual because it’s fairly new (post-war boom expansion on the edge of the business district) and someone had the foresight to reserve a lot of the apartment buildings as welfare housing for the elderly and disabled. So it’s 50% people of above-average income with university degree jobs and 50% people who are surviving on welfare checks. The welfare housing is not all one contiguous block, it’s mixed in with the commercial housing. We’ve developed a relationship with an older man who uses wheelchairs, who is one of those “rough edges, heart of gold, says shockingly problematic things with good intentions” types. He’s taken a young homeless man under his wing who is harmless but has given up on himself and needs to be nagged and badgered to do things like “eating something other than beer”. Odin adores them, and I get such strange looks sometimes from other people of my social class because I’m sitting with them on a public bench while they drink beer and pet Odin. I’ve caught Karens giving me nasty glares, some just seem worried that the hippie and the retired guy in the wheelchair are gonna mug the lady with the giant dog. We ran into them today outside the grocery store. The older gentleman told me a shocking story that someone stole his mobility scooter and tried to ransom it back to him. Fortunately, he was able to get in contact with the right social program to get it replaced quickly, but he and I both worry it will happen again. I was enormously relieved to see him in any case, because yesterday the city’s worst news was about a man of his description dying in a freak accident nearby. (The news here generally does not disclose names or faces of random victims) We gifted them some fresh sandwich fixings from the grocery store to balance out all the beer the younger one had bought. I don’t know what happened to him, but he speaks native English with a Texan accent and has a duffel bag from the US army, so I have my suspicions that something drove him to prefer being homeless in Europe to employed in the US military. The combination of living in a walkable city and raising a friendly dog has been so good for developing a healthy relationship with my neighborhood. I’ve never had this going for me before in my life. On the way back, a polite nod from a distance to the guy who guards the Jewish community center… Odin would love to play with him but today was Not the time. They’re on high alert right now for nonsense. https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/623/271/479/487/432/original/5188c085610f6d76.jpeg https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/623/272/173/946/804/original/6373b37d82a94601.jpeg npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea someone in the park is blasting Dragostae Din Tei (Numa Numa) through a sound system… I thought that was firmly locked in the Early Internet Vault npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea "Please set a new password for your account." okay "Your password does not meet your organization policy." okay, you could have hinted that in the interface before I hit enter, but what's the policy "It's a secret to everybody." npub1n7kt2deqy3xk93nzcvxyy0twcw3jmhvyjhec0pss4punpsyr884ql07g0f abadidea The perils of semantic drift over multiple millennia: "古者,贵以德而贱用兵。" The intended reading of this ~2100yo statement concerning how to deal with foreigners: "In ancient times, virtue was valued and use of force was despised."
