- Comment on Hackers Can Hide Images in Text Data and Embeds Directly into DNS TXT Records 14 hours ago:
It looks like the site is just AI generated crap based off of blog posts it scraped. “Cyber Security News” is about as generic as it gets.
- Comment on If I wanted to have a maximally downvoted post, how would I go about accomplishing that? 6 days ago:
The problem with .ml shitposting is that it will almost immediately get removed. If it does start to propagate around to other instances, people will immediately recognize it as a troll post and it will get upvoted.
Trolling ml takes finesse and it’s the IRL epitome of “opposite day” over there.

- Comment on Anon misses the classic design 2 weeks ago:
It’s just a bit of wood attached to a fairly big chunk of explosive and I would guess that wood shrapnel is just as deadly as metal within it’s effective range. The stick isn’t going to block much of anything.
Stuck grenades could have a fragmentation sleeve, but they relied more on the explosive concussion for damage, not the shrapnel.

Even when you completely ignore that bullshit monologue from Altman, something is fishy with this.
While just speculation, I think they are positioning for a sale as that is going to be the only way to get any value from their shares. (Aside from dividends, if that is a even a thing with pre-IPO equity?)
Anyone else case to spitball any theories?

Butter is just milk with extra steps. There are quite a few things you can cook with milk (or specifically creams) that you would typically use butter for that you wouldn’t think. Steak is a good example.
Of course it’s not a 1:1 replacement, but that is kind of the point. The question is: How of you prefer your milk fats to taste when cooked? (If you are cooking a steak, are you after a specific butter flavor or a deeper cooked dairy flavor?)

And that is scary. If the is one takeaway from observing the universe it’s that there are always bigger and stranger things out there somewhere.

Something tells me this isn’t a bad thing. If there is an edge of the universe, it’s probably going to be a very strange place.
- Comment on Zuckerberg had a 'crazy idea' to boost Facebook's relevance: Make everyone start from scratch 2 months ago:
It would force everyone who still wanted to use Facebook to upload more fresh data and get hooked again in the process. It’s not a relevance play. It’s a “we want all your new data” play.

- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 2 months ago:
This is my opinion, but yeah. It’ll take some time.
The biggest issue is that money has moved to safer for investments. Those new investments may take time to mature and/or avoid tax penalties.
Another component is that hedge funds are likely the ones taking money out of the market in a huge way right now. Hedge funds normally specialize in short selling and there is no better time to close or massively reduce those short positions. (They have other strategies, but their main function is in their name.) They can’t close their positions rapidly, or it will trigger a faux rebound in stock prices. (Short sales are weird like that. It may be one of the reasons you see short bounces in price as a stock price is cratering.)
Unfortunately, the tarrifs are shifting investment policy against the US now from other countries. This will take years to recover from.
What will really suck is that I have always speculated that these tarrifs are just the worst kind of insider trading strategy you will ever see. If the intent was to temporarily dump stock prices for the benefit of a few, I really don’t think it’s going to work like it did during COVID. COVID didn’t force massive global policy changes against the US the same way. Even if orange man decides to reverse course and lift tarrifs tomorrow, the damage has been done and there is no reason to restore previous investments. The risk is too high.
- Comment on Minecraft movie spawns ‘annoying’ cinema trend that viewers claim ‘ruins’ the film 2 months ago:
The term is “read the room”, I think. Rarely, some movies are just like that. Classic showings of Rocky Horror aren’t exactly done for serious movie gowers as a prime example. While I am not attempting to put RHPS and a Minecraft movie in the same class, I would go to a Minecraft movie with the same mindset.
- Comment on POV: You're too shy to tell the medical staff that you just woke up during surgery. 2 months ago:
Just thought I would add that there is nothing to be embarrassed about having a probe going where you typically wouldn’t want one. The doctors should have a very mechanical view of the human body and they shouldn’t care about anatomy. I am a huge proponent of getting a colonoscopy when needed. They can save your life. Most of all, you need them at regular intervals. Thankfully, they should be a few years apart.
I actually woke up during my last colonoscopy, to the weird feeling getting poked at from inside my body. (Get your giggles out of the way, kids.) My recovery time from anesthesia is super-quick usually, and will mention that for my next colonoscopy. I’ll be on my feet in about 10mins from when I open my eyes. The experience is always different from person to person. (I also was a serious drunk for a number of years, so operating at 25% was kinda normal, I suppose.)
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 2 months ago:
I actually like the audio. (I’ll leverage faux tape recording effects and plate reverb on occasion with music I write.)
And honestly, it was kinda refreshing to watch Charlie Chaplain again.
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 2 months ago:
Sorry, I couldn’t quite get the feeling you described. It’s partially because I have seen that before and partially because it still looks old and the sound quality was reminiscent of a cylinder phonograph.
Good try though. ;)
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 2 months ago:
I have been working through my “must watch” list with my teenage daughter recently. While all the movies are absolutely new to her, that hasn’t stopped the occasional snickering about how “old” some of the stuff is. (And honestly, I can’t disagree. I had a few “ah fuck I’m old” moments rewatching Predator and Blade Runner recently.)
So, in spirit, I 100% agree with you. In reality, nobody can quite escape how old some actually movies feel.
