junonon Eight Bits of Trust: eMudhra's CA keys cracked in milliseconds

You can't hardly use the TVs then. I've seen TVs that don't let you use the HDMI port without it being connected if you have a streaming dongle connected. Hopefully that practice has mostly died off now (Samsung used to do this on some models, iirc), but it's still a risk and only kicks the can down the road a bit.

Journalism, even at the granularity of a single person, is not a monolith. He's allowed to do other forms of journalism. He got famous because of his Gonzo-like show, but that's clearly not the only format he can or is allowed to do.

And about a million others if you search them up. They are the neo-Nazi party. The leaked emails this article is about speak volumes.

junonon AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right

Come on now. AfD is not arguing for or against social or economic issues. This isn't a spat about budgets, or energy.

AfD leaders want to bring back the German nationalism of the 30s/40s, fullstop.

Can we please stop pretending this isn't the case? It's so tiring.

Ah, TIL.

You've grossly misunderstood the point of this thread if that's your takeaway here.

I'm confused. Your comment's shitty tone implies you're overwhelmingly in favor of LLMs. That's copy-pasting not just on steroids, but on crack cocaine. So what point are you trying to make?

Well, yes. But not here. I don't think he'd go in and troll the real Elizabeth Holmes when he has the chance to do real journalism.

Admittedly seeing him at first made me think "wow that lady sounds exactly like Holmes". Then I realized it was supposed to be her and thought "wow, they did an amazing job casting her".

Then I realized it was her, at which point it was immediately clear this was a serious endeavor and not something Fielder typically does.

The Dropout was not a documentary. It was a dramatic reenactment. I don't think anyone is claiming it's a documentary?

You Can See Everything doesn't have Amanda Seyfried in it as far as I'm aware.

junonon Dogs seem to agree with humans that 'bouba' is round and 'kiki' is spiky

I'm just a parrot owner and have no sources for this, but I'd be surprised if they didn't. Birds are very sound-oriented, have to make split second decisions while in the air to avoid collisions and to react to flock calls while they're moving, etc.

At least in parrots, they love playing with sounds. They'll bang things, tap on things, throw things around, and even scream into different objects just to hear the difference. They also have decent object permanence, speaking anecdotally.

Well, it's both. We have all the public facts about Theranos. Nathan Fielder got to live with them for a period of time. That's not public information. It's still a documentary.

They never said it was impressive. Just that they like to demonstrate it, presumably to people who don't know about it.

Oh my god that's hilarious. And thank you!!

junonon Vibecoding Photoshop: Time and pressure

Hey, thanks for photopea. I use it frequently.

Can you settle an argument, perchance? Is it pronounced "Photo-P" or "Photo-pia" (as in "utopia")?

junonon So long Google, and thanks for all the nudes

They don't have access to the content anymore, as mentioned a bit later in the article.

junonon "As a Language Model": Chat Template Switches LLM Self-Referential Voice

The UX "cringe" you speak of was/is a real methodology to product engineering. You'd have a number of personas, the user being one of them. A lot of the time you'd have more specific user personas, or even have fake names for these people who had different wants and needs from your product.

Then when brainstorming on a team, you'd start with "as a user"/"as an admin"/"as a Power-User"/"as Eva" and then use the first person. It framed the product story as something requested by that person.

Was just one way to go about it. Idk the origins of it though but it dates back to at least 2010 if memory serves, probably way before that.

They could 100% figure it out if TS was still a popular thing. What's with the assumption all the kids these days are utter zombies who can't think for themselves?

junonon 'That's so AI ' What gen Alpha's biggest insult tells us

Opposite of my experience. A few family members and their friends invited me to a discord server recently; I'll join for games some nights. They're very acutely aware of how things work. We talk a lot about how even their schoolmates don't really use social media much (at least, not the big ones) and despise AI.

Gives me some hope that the kids will be alright.

This! Claude word salad is worse than maybe subpar translations, with which I'm sure PRs can help.

A number of "<assertion>: <followup>" patterns too which is pretty common of at least Claude.

I saw both having used the site for ~20 minutes or so while taking a coffee break. I flagged the antisemitic content so it was probably removed.

I.. kind of like it? Aware that it isn't great and that I'm in the minority.

junonon Ask A Monk – A digital wilderness for thoughts with no immediate answer

Just like all the other attempts at this, it's immediately filled with 1) AI content, and 2) anti-semitism.
