lime!

errol musk also had a child with his own stepdaugther at 76. i don’t really want to know what he says about anything.

python dependencies, like all scripting language dependencies, must not be installed via the system package manager. yes python’s package management is bad, but if package maintainers for nix are not following best practices then honestly that’s their problem, not the tooling’s. this is python packaging 101.

also, malicious PRs being accepted due to ml people being famously bad at actual software engineering is not a “supply chain attack”. and they are definitely not worse than npm, because the problem wasn’t in pypi. pypi is historically really good at preventing this sort of thing, but what can you do when the actual, well-formed release approved and pushed by the actual maintainers has a cryptominer in it?

that’s an oversimplification.

python is slow because it’s meant as glue; all the important parts of the ml libraries are written in other languages.

all the dependency stuff is due to running outside of a managed environment, which has been the norm for 10 years now. yes venv/bin/activate is clunky, but it solves the problem.

also, what supply-side attacks?

lua is probably a better first language though.

can’t be, the only metric that defined a third-world country was that it was not allied with the us or the ussr

“let he who is without sin cast the first stone” *picks up rock*

so you didn’t watch the video.

no but, how do you make it handle n64 games? i’m interested in setting this up. like i have this old rom of airboarder 64, which to my knowledge was not on the gamecube, and it emulates terribly. how do i set it up to run with dolphin?

that means they are about it.

can you explain how?

you know how when you send a letter to another country, it’s handed off through multiple instances that all just look at part of the address? first post office sends to the central post terminal, which sends to the foreign country, which sends to the state, which sends to the city, which delivers it to you?

the internet works the same, except every message is a postcard.

the problem is, apparently, that we just don’t know what sort of effect that heating has when it happens inside the body.

you know, never mind the radio spectrum part of what the sun puts out.

like for baking

not when they have egg on them… or hair

or both

actually no, some of it gets absorbed. that’s why there are SAR values available for all cellphones. it measures how many watts of heat get absorbed per kilogram of brain.

since it’s non-ionizing though, the only effect is a slight heating. like microwatts of heating. 15 minutes in direct sunlight is equal to millions of phone calls. but we do measure it!

I’m starting to get worried about having mixed up the brushes that came with my coffee grinder, my razor, and the one for eggwashing

it was about nutrition. it started with the fact that proteins, fats and sugars all have different energy densities and so how much weight you gain is dependent on what the food is, which is all fair. but then i made the mistake of saying “your weight won’t go up by more than the weight of the food, anyway.” and that spiralled out of control completely. apparently that’s wrong and you can gain infinite weight from one chocolate bar.

as usual for this person they felt that i refused to take the “holistic” view into account.

a more recent conversation started with them talking about some sort of blood sugar sensor that athletes use and when i said “that’s interesting, what’s it called?” they started talking about gut microbes.

well, they do sell ones that work. you can measure them blocking all em radiation from exiting out the back of your phone… instead blasting all of it into your head. significantly more of it too, since the normal reaction of a phone that loses signal is to boost its own in order to find a tower.
