it's satire right? brilliantly placed satire by a disgruntled hiring manager having one last laugh out the door right? no one would seriously write this right?

it's basically yet another form of Pascal's wager (which is a dumb argument)

hold the fucking phone. The secretary of education is the wife of VINCE FUCKING MCMAHON? I thought this was a "no relation" situation but no, it's real.

I was going to post a reply similar to this, but as a joke. Fuck you for doing it in earnest instead.

Asahi Lina posts about not feeling safe anymore. Orange site immediately kills discussion around post.

For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

I can't share any more information at this time, so please don't ask for more details. Thank you.

The grad student survives [torturing rats] by compartmentalizing, focusing their thoughts on the scientific benefits of the research, and leaning on their support network. I’m doing the same thing, and so far it’s going fine.

guys I need someone to talk to, am I justified in causing my computer pain?

their browser vanadium seems like a good chromium fork and a fine webview implementation but lacks an effective ad blocker, which makes it unsafe to use if your threat model includes, you know, the fucking obvious. the graphene devs will shame you for using anything but it or brave though, and officially recommend using either a VPN with ad blocking or a service like NextDNS since they don’t seem to acknowledge that network-level blocking isn’t sufficient

No firefox with ublock origin? Seems like that would be the obvious choice here (or maybe not due to Mozilla's recent antics)

Machine translation was the original purpose of the transformer architecture, and I guess it was unreasonably good at it compared to the existing state-of-the-art RNNs or whatever they were doing before.

holy fuck

Interesting study, but I am skeptical that this result applies to the general population (without the "convicted" qualifier).

If non-whites are more violently criminal than whites, then we can expect them to be imprisoned earlier in life for any violent crime, of which pedophilia will be a small subset.

So we have more convicted white paedos because ....... the coloreds do more crimes??! what in the actual fuck did I just read?
