Posting this again because many folks know about Glaze glaze.cs.uchicago.edu but they should also really look into nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html These are not foolproof solutions (researchers, incl. ppl working 4 the corps) have already posted on how to break it. But the work continues.

#MathsToday hahaha sob not so sure about hypothesis testing, need to see how the exit tickets look (Talking about simulation-based inference actually went great in Advanced Stats, but the energy in Applied Stats felt non-existent)

The audacity to anthropomorphize machines being built by corporations --stealing data --exploiting the labor of the people who are actually the "undesirables" under eugenic thought --killing the environment, and then compare criticisms of such eugenic practices to, wait for it, eugenics.

This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but if a sentence starts with ‘per’ it’s usually a bummer.

This week on Counting Stuff, a 'problem that I worry about' -> how do I know when I'm making stuff "Easier" that I haven't gone too far and just pushed friction out to some other system that will bite me in the ass later #dataBS Also still job hunting! www.counting-stuff.com/in-ux-we-kee...

Ngl the genocide of over 9 million people in the span of about 6 years—with an INSANE amount of written documentation on the lives lost & the methodology of killing those ppl—blows the argument of Nazi inefficiency out of the water imo.They were efficient at killing ppl & that’s a salient point

Data centers not only take up power, but drinking water as well. The USA’s energy infrastructure is woefully underprepared the energy and water demands of AI.China has solved this by building up their energy infrastructure with renewable energy, but I don’t know how they’re solving the water issue

For the millionth time: generative video is not a technology that should be available to the public. Certainly not as a SAAS service, and definitely not OSS models without any guardrails. We’re about to be inundated with propaganda and CSAM.

I so wanted Dask to be more successful. Rocklin is right here: I hate Docker, cannot comprehend Kubernetes, and…I’m not a fool for feeling this way. Neither was built for data science, and I’m truly sick of pretending they are appropriate for DS/ML workloads.

highly recommend this book even if you don't work on "procgen games". Thinking about how the player experience is assembled is valuable for ALL types of games.

Mars was the Roman god of war. That’s why we say ‘martial arts,' ‘martial law,' and 'court martial.' Marshall was the Roman god of designer fashion at discount prices. That’s why we have Marshall’s.

There's a lot going on this week but I am def excited about this one!! @torc.dev @mattstauffer.com @tdesseyn.bsky.social @jasontorres.bsky.social

Bring AJ Link back. Banning Link is racist and petulant. I will never be the smartest person in the room on ATproto, but I know mean-spirited retaliation. This is mean-spirited retaliation

We really should have federal laws against people creating AI slop of ppl’s deceased loved ones. I know some states are passing laws against this, but it needs to be more widespread

#MathsToday: This semester seems so far like the best intro R things have gone in Stat Analysis! They also did a numerical data card sort (by Sandi Takis), and they were not pleased about how difficult it was, but it definitely led to good conversations 😂.

“From street cameras to drones and regional fusion hubs, surveillance systems are increasingly built atop AWS. The pitch Amazon makes to law enforcement is about more than raw infrastructure. It is also about access, connections, and momentum.“

I'm getting a lot of visibility but very few to no sales. Again, I don't profit off the tariffs. It goes to the US government.

Exercise frequently however you do it. Don’t sit too much. Do the thing you want to do. Don’t get permission (within reason ofc). Make friends, go to concerts, talk to other people, don’t be cliquey, the standard stuff.

It’s raining today. And I think that’s perfect for reflecting my inner world right now

Preliminary results show that the current framework of "AI" makes ppl less likely to help or seek help from other humans, or to seek to soothe conflict, and that people actively prefer that framework to any others, literally serving to make them more dependent on it.

When Elon bought Twitter I knew that the heart of organizing was being struck for so many of us. Now we may have to get back to the old way of organizing. Radios, letters, or (looking to the future) creating our own social media networks that are more decentralized, freer, but smaller

Can we get the word around for more donations to go to BlackSky so there’s funding for the infrastructure that can bring Link back? From my understanding: Relays are costly and expensive. Anyone feel free to chime in. Bluesky relays is what has him banned. opencollective.com/blacksky
