Ahh, who am I kidding. When are we getting a W2K "clean room" modern build by some bored kids on dad's AI spend

k12sosse··on Netflix Lays Off About 6% of Staff in Biggest Job Cuts Since 2022
I mean with content slop like Netflix has now, why would you need humans. Just ask the LLM documentary title generator for your next 40 titles.
k12sosse··on Microsoft Teams is a red flag
The "comes online" alert is possible if you choose to be notified when the person becomes available, but it's capped at stalking 15 people I think. Not the best but achieves that goal.

k12sosse··on Shipping JPEG XL in Chrome
Interesting. That's one way to get the nits difference between black and white :/
k12sosse··on Shipping JPEG XL in Chrome
I will say windows implementation of HDR - at least the way Chrome handles it within Windows is somewhat of an abomination - so I'm sure Apple's iOS is just as poor!

but sometimes it's not HDRs fault - it's just the segura effect. People with cameras exceeding their capability levels, not understanding what you need to do after you shoot video in LOG.

I mix multi-monitor some-HDR some-SDR in Windows, it's bad.

k12sosse··on FLUX 3 Image
It works. You have to prompt for it. It helps to have an LLM help build your prompt with you, while you learn what the models need to read to do what you need. Especially a vision one, you can supply images and ask it to give you details on what you want help with.
k12sosse··on Court agrees with EFF: Utah's VPN law demands a technical impossibility
For the porn argument I mean, just generate your own locally on your own device, they tend to overlook that when they're shoving AI down everyone's throats. Like everything else techwise that's worthwhile in the last 30 years, it's been driven by porn culture.

Numbers for importing California wines went from $540 million, to $40 million in 3, 5 years. For one province alone. And this wasn't a federal decision, this was people telling their provincial government to do it. And they listened.
k12sosse··on What California is learning from solar panels built over irrigation canals
Yes, just one, and it's defined in this excerpt:

k12sosse··on Microsoft says email spammers are adopting ASCII smuggling
As a common-name@gmail.com holder, unfiltered spam is less commonplace than a) websites adding me to distribution/mailing lists without verifying I was the person to type it in, b) people who either accidentally transform their address into mine, or forget part of their address.

These are from all parts of the globe. I have access to bank accounts in South America, Disney employee music royalty earnings tax disclosures and forms, European subscribers online platforms, AWS account recovery options, veterinarian records in Studio City, private school/PTA leadership website access in Mountain View.

I stopped trying to return unopened mail, nobody cared.

I don't do anything with any of this because I'm not a giant fool, but people, have your users verify their email addresses before you trust them.
