Y’all need to read about the mutiny on Skylab 4: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylab_4#Communications_break%3Fwprov=sfla1

You need a batshit insane or exceedingly mid episode every now and again to make you really appreciate the good ones.

Just seems hypocritical for a self-proclaimed Buddhist to open a chat and immediately try to throw hands

My first interaction with a self-proclaimed Buddhist was in an Omegle chat where he opened with something like “the US staged 9/11”, I guess in an attempt to rage-bait

It’s implied that the second gnome is Malcom’s partner and they presumably live together.

So imagine telling your SO that you’re tired of parties and they throw you a party in the home you share to ostensibly help you unwind.

Or what about how the first fifteen minutes of each season 2 episode is just “last time on…” and viewers decide they don’t have the time for this shit

Seems like a positive feedback loop:

1. Netflix creates show that’s pretty good
2. People watch it
3. Netflix takes too long to release season 2
4. People forget show exists, stop watching
5. Netflix drops a season years later
6. No one watches it because they forgot what happened in season 1 and Netflix shows are so serial that you have to know what happened
7. Netflix cancels show due to low viewership
8. Fans of the show feel jilted and slam Netflix on social media
9. Rinse and repeat

I’ve been saying this for a while: without opining whether or not machine learning models are even capable of consciousness, there’s no way in hell LLMs are.

These are once-through, completely immutable models. Any activity that could be remotely construed as “thought” evaporates the instant it outputs a token, and then it starts over from scratch.

Good fucking luck being conscious when your consciousness only exists for a fraction of a fraction of a second at a time.

Ah right, so that would be a 3D array.

• T* is a single row of T
• T** is a list of rows
• T*** is a list of “layers” in the third dimension

This would be incredibly hazardous to pass around as a bare pointer with no context, though. I’d expect to see this in a struct that, at minimum, also includes fields for the size of each dimension.

Real talk: is there any practical use-case for T*** of any pointee type?

The Internet has ruined me because I can’t read the word “watersports” without thinking of the fetish anymore.

When you cargo install a binary, it ignores lockfiles. If you clone a project and build it, it respects the Cargo.lock that was checked in.

It’s not enforced though, and there’s no way as a consumer to see how a crate was published.

To be extremely fair, crates.io has a huge maintenance bottleneck because AFAIK it doesn’t even have a single dedicated developer. But that’s definitely a big part of the problem.

The Rust Foundation is really just not pulling in enough revenue to support the project properly. They really ought to figure out more revenue streams than just sponsorships and donations.

You can’t overwrite previously published versions.

Application projects are recommended to check-in the Cargo.lock which pins dependency versions but you can always just run cargo update at any time which automatically upgrades all dependencies to the newest version allowed by the Cargo.toml.

Some projects get around this by pinning the dependency in the Cargo.toml (using =) or by vendoring all their dependencies, which is a huge pain in the ass.

Interestingly, developers in ecosystems like Go, Rust, and those utilizing native Web APIs—where robust standard libraries drastically reduce reliance on third-party code and strict cryptographic verification is built into the core toolchain—reported zero instances of a college dropout’s weekend project wiping out global logistics infrastructure today.

As someone who’s built a career in Rust, it is 100% susceptible to an attack like this. The community is just generally paranoid enough to avoid depending on super niche packages.

Even so, Cargo still doesn’t have code signing and crates.io doesn’t have 2FA. They just barely rolled out email alerts for new crates being published with your API key.

And there’s dozens of single-author crates that are depended upon by millions of lines of code, any one of which could easily be a vector in a supply chain attack. In fact there have been attempted supply chain attacks against crates.io, but to my knowledge they’ve all relied on typo-squatting.

We’re definitely overdue for a major attack.

“Why don’t we just skip the middleman and I fuck you instead?”

I started growing my hair out unintentionally, I just stopped getting it cut during the pandemic.

I’ve found a hair wrapped around my balls more than once. Those fucking things love to go spelunking, man.

The Internet gives us access to the kind of depths of human depravity on a daily basis that most people wouldn’t have been exposed to in 1968, unless they had just gotten back from Vietnam.
