Labelling this as 'highly unethical' is understating it.

333 collins st, used to work there.

You dact, and then you re-dact if needed.

In Affectionate Remembrance of BAZBALL which died at the Adelaide Oval on 21st December 2025 Deeply lamented by no one outside of the English cricket team. R.I.P. N.B.—The body will be cremated and the ashes kept in Australia.

There is no mystery - these agencies NEED these attacks to happen to continue to exist. They let everything through to the keeper except meaningless petty crime they can leverage in the media as wins.

To point out, this is a failing both by the Unicode consortium -- with whom I have multiple beefs, like "what shape is <a>" and "why is bengali a script and blackletter not" -- and with the screenreader providers, who've known about this for quite some years now.

I like the use of composition in Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko, but my favourite is when they use Madoka's forehead to frame the scene

the thing about "AI" "agents" is a depressing number of people move through the world as if they are the only real person in it. when they "talk to" these chatbots they don't notice the shallowness because that's as far as they ever plumb anyway. the obvious if:then shadowplay fools them completely

Bah. Four attempts: three burnt, one undercooked. There goes the plan to give everyone fudge.

So candy thermometers work because the boiling point of a syrup depends on its sugar concentration, so as water boils off and the solution becomes more concentrated, the temperature will rise slowly. And when you cool it, how stiff it'll be depends on how hot it got.

The English cricket team spent this morning visiting the Adelaide Children's Hospital. "It's heartbreaking to see their sad little faces with absolutely no hope" said Timmy aged 7 #Ashes #AusVsEng

Today's mood.

If I have to hunt down someone and get a key to use the accessible bathroom then it's not very accessible is it cunt????

Y'know, I think refusing to declare and giving england the draw would be worse for english morale than a loss. Just keep on rolling. Until stumps tomorrow even if that's what it takes.

I have learned some amazing new use cases for divided hot pots from user reviews Couldn’t find another I saw in which a Italian woman used one side for pasta and the other to blanch broccoli rabe

Imagine the apollo project tried to get to the moon by building a jet airliner, and when that didn't work they spent a trillion dollars building bigger ones. That is how misconceived current LLM translation efforts are: they cannot work and we knew why decades ago.

When I was at uni -- before I graduated with mediocre pass degrees in linguistics and comp.sci -- I thought I might be able to do useful work in machine translation. Turns out I can, turns out "this will obviously never work don't spend a trillion on it" is something that hasn't been said enough.

So current "AI" translations work by slotting in the word they think is most likely for the *local* context, which is marginal for low-context texts like recipes but obviously unsuitable for narrative text where callbacks matter. I have thoughts on why managers don't understand this, but...

it’s time to stand up to hate. sitting down and hating is fine but you gotta switch position every so often

Akiba jinja, aptly named

(I don’t feel as much ill will towards the well-intended idiots of the soft left as I show here, by the way. Most people do not ever encounter mean-spirited, self-obsessed psychos in their daily lives, so it never occurs to them that some people will always behave like this. But they do).

Yeah, rocket works.

If you can afford a car you are bourgeois and as such I do not have to care about your opinion

for the last century we have gradually reorganised society in a way that excludes the underprivileged (the carless) to make the already rich (those who can afford cars) richer. this is fundamentally unjust

The only ex prime minister I care to hear from is Harold Holt

To the 19c European, a nation had a common language, customs, and origin. Jews had a common origin but the customs and language were not, and were rather assimilated in Western Europe. Solution: eliminate from society to avoid having to consider nationalism may not be correct.

Two hours every three months at a range in front of govt inspectors.

don't send me DMs, I'm not giving these cunts my data to unlock them

take all the guns this time, we can have another 27yrs of none of this.

tbh, islamophobia is the canary, antisemitism is one of your colleagues falling over as the mine lamp starts to catch a blue flame

Because it’ll probably come up a bit - Australia didn’t ban guns, but we did get a lot more selective about who’s licensed to own which kinds. There’s a gun store literally three blocks from me right now that I walk past regularly - it has hundreds on display. Farm and sporting, long and short.

Fucking legend.

You're going home in the hold of a divvy boat.

No, he might be onto something here. Let him cook.

Post your favourite star trek character, wrong answers only.

Useless trivia: the bouzouki and sitar are both descended from the turkish saz / persian setar family: the bouzouki is crossed with the neapolitan [bowl-back] mandolin and the sitar is crossed with the rudra veena.

Pity we exported Crocodile Dundee to them instead of "Drink. Drive. Bloody idiot."

Queensland really needs an upper house.

who the fuck is signing up to things with their actual DOB? Are they insane people?

i for one think we should bring the second best available evidence to the problem.

oh good lord a friend tipped me off that DHS actually *does* use Joanna, named after one of Gil's victims. little too on the nose.

basically every successful developmentalist polity has pursued an export-led strategy--aka competition on the global market--rather than an import-substitution strategy--aka tariffs--because even though developmentalism involves (often huge!) subsidies, it *needs* the discipline of competition

Apparently one of the requirements Fushimi Shrine has before they give you a fragment of divine presence is that you have to book Inari their own seat on the plane. Inari is fine with cattle class but does not travel as hand or stowed luggage.

The only way any kind of capitalism can be a just cause is if it is attached to robust social democracy. A capitalism whose losers are immiserated plainly fails our criterion.

You should just watch and read random stuff! One chapter for a monthly manga, maybe two for a weekly, half an episode of anime. That's all you need, if there's nothing you're interested in roll the dice again. *So* much stuff I enjoyed this way.

obligatory Lagrange the Flower of Rinne a strange slightly dumb kind of beautiful show full of contradictions. A 2012 show made for an audience of 90s otaku and 2020s gays. It's completely honest with itself while also waving its flag of being sponsored by Nissan and the Kamogawa Board of Tourism
