Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 23rd December 2024
  • I liked ptaček better when he still knew he doesn't know everything.

  • Hugging Face scrapes Bluesky, surprised when Bluesky users object
  • i bet that bluesky worked with them to get their company and all their personal accounts established at bluesky as the primary social media channel.

    i don't expect they will get anything more than a slap on the wrists, if at all.

  • the aggrieved attitude of “but i am a socialist” is really adorable.

  • Where's Your Ed At- The Cult of Microsoft
  • (it's programming dot dev again, isn't it?)

  • JD Vance outs himself as an SSCer, SSCers react
  • the problem is that you post things here, though i guess that by the time i'm commenting it has been alleviated.

  • the hackernewses whining that linus is so unfair in enacting legal sanctions against the russian who works in development for bomb components are comedy gold
  • stalinists, like pigeons, are gonna shit over every place where they congregate. it is a pity that they have half the brain and quarter of the cuteness of the pigeons though.

  • …and that's one of the dudes personally invited to the site by its main moderator (see, the public invite trees can be useful sometimes).

  • US startup charging couples to ‘screen embryos for IQ’
  • ironic eugenics is genocidal the same way

  • US startup charging couples to ‘screen embryos for IQ’
  • there is no unobjectionable eugenics

  • The walled marketplace of ideas: a statistical critique of SSC book reviews
  • tbh i would not call richard hanania “an ex-white nationalist”; he's a white supremacist through and through and never stopped, also, freddie deboer is as far to the left as the late unlamented gregor strasser, and probably much less.

    and even with these caveats, it's a pretty damning piece, even if every other careful reader is probably aware that siskind engages in whitewashing scientific racism and white supremacy for fucking decades.

  • …or just use the qrencode's -t ANSI256 or -t ANSI256UTF8 output format and read your qr code directly from terminal.

  • The Nobel Prize in physics goes to Geoffrey Hinton for his work in computer science. What?
  • oh, it's like russia's idea of ukrainian and belarussian. fucking orphans of the empires…

  • “Nice Guy” Matt Mullenweg, CEO of WordPress.com Cries Foul and Threatens Me With Legal Action
  • and perhaps a little bow to lem's “cyberiad” (automateusz, translated as automatthew, from the story automatthew's friend)

  • NaNoWriMo gets AI sponsor, says not writing your novel with AI is ‘classist and ableist’
  • whee, i missed that one completely. it seems that some over-eager hachyderm mod suspended @[email protected] 's account. nothing that can be done on our side. (unfortunately i don't have a backchannel to the hachyderm mods).

  • polish train manufacturer newag used geolocation to lock-up trains at 3rd party service depots

    Attached: 1 image I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so. We (@[email protected], @[email protected] and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced a...

    from the “i'll drm your arse” and “industrial sabotage r us” department, a true scandal: a polish train manufacturer used firmware to lock out trains at 3rd party service depots in order to disrupt the operations of the trains for the railways who did not choose to service the trains at the manufacturer's; at the same time they blamed the 3rd parties for their inability to properly service the trains.

    further reading in polish (but translates via google well): more technical and less technical, but with more political/economical details.
