Electronic Monotony

@citrusgirlpaige They retired with their piles of money.

@TheDarkDuchesss I look like a hermit from the wilds even when I'm not actually covered in small branches and leaves.

One of the most annoying parts of having cptsd and bad mental health (among other things) is that its genuinely impossible for me to have soft, cute eyes anymore. They look so intense and sad all the time and like I really think it's just going to be like this forever 😭

@TheDarkDuchesss @MalloryMable Nah, it is not. Remain calm when in danger. That's not dying, dying is very calm. That's the response to running out of air, and forcing yourself to stay calm through that is perfectly doable. Granted, it's better to have the training orienting yourself before you need it.

@emonotony @MalloryMable like if you're in a place where the water isnt still doing that stopping thing hes doing will let you be pushed under deeper. You have to keep moving, you cant do what hes saying. Its bad and wrong advice for the endgame of drowning lol. And Its ok to not be calm when dying lol

When you're drowning your vision goes first. You can't see which direction the light is or where bubbles are going. All you have are two absolute truths - if you stop moving you will never move again - if you kick in the wrong direction you'll be too far gone to try again

@TheDarkDuchesss @MalloryMable It's possible to stay calm well beyond that point.

@emonotony @MalloryMable Its possible to stay calm until your vision goes and you start going unconcious as you feel your limbs going limp when the last time you could see you were still far away from the surface. The point where you realize you could die is when you start going "thisisitTHISISITNONONO-"

@TheDarkDuchesss @MalloryMable Learning how to force yourself to be calm and stop in that situation is hard to learn, but entirely possible. The pain and panic doesn't control what you do. Up is the way you go when you stop. Doesn't apply after 30 feet of depth or so.

@MalloryMable Yeah ive almost drown 12 times and no matter how good of a swimmer you are theres just no way to calmly stop and do this. The pain in your lungs and body is agonizing and your arms and legs start stiffening while going weak. Even just flailing takes EVERYTHING you have left

@f4micom We'll adapt. There have been so many sloppy security solutions over the years, catastrophic vulnerabilities, and corporations not really knowing how to update, and we lived through it. Kind of the reason things like the GDPR exist - can't lose data you don't have.

i have been thinking about this for a while since it’s a genuine risk when these T9 on adderall things start being able to find zero-days like it’s nothing and can be used as actual weapons lol

i think an immense amount of economic damage could happen if at the worst time ever a state actor that might already be inside and waiting right now manages to exfiltrate and either leak or privately distillate the weights for an actually powerful and dangerous SOTA LLM like idk mythos could be a good target in this sense but i don’t think they would waste their occasion right away on something like that

@f4micom Fuzzing is tried and true. How's their model going to take a shower though?

king kai weighted clothes ass plot twist

@f4micom The basilisk only tortures you if the threat of future torture makes you work for the AI so I will simply be unaware of any AI wanting me to work. Working so far!

@emonotony tell them i am not working on weekends no matter what cruel inhumane perpetual eternal torture horror they threaten me with

did i jinx it (not about openai tho, i am referring to mythos)

@citrusgirlpaige The answer's not that hard, it's just a moment where you look at the picture and comprehend it away. Unfortunately, this involves comprehending a complex topic. The key questions are "what does this do to improve my life?" and "do I believe this because it's true?".

@frogs4girls In this economy?

wow. somebody should do something. if only we had some kind of opposition party.

@TheDarkDuchesss They gatekept Alabama?

@emonotony Nope it looks like that. thats what nasa said

I cant believe those bastards on the Apollo missions gatekept how beautiful the moon is for 60 years. What is it with old people and their greed and selfishness 😭

@awawawhoami Ah yes, the "Swiss", a likely story. So why is it you never see one speaking Swiss?

@suchnerve Microwaves are also very effective but cooking with a microwave takes a fair bit of learning. It is very effective for speeding up things like boiling if you've got a collection of cookbooks from the 70's though.

Cheapest way to cook at home (with regard to energy usage) is with an air fryer or pressure cooker, and it’s for one very simple reason: waste heat. Air fryers and pressure cookers are designed to keep heat trapped inside, which means it takes far less energy to get the job done.

@suchnerve Funnily, it's the exact same emotional process as just repeating "it gets better", one's just judgmental and the other's polite. It's not just that both roads lead you to the same destination - it's the same road.

“But how was she dressed?” “Well they act so ghetto!” “It’s because they flaunt so much!” “They just aren’t trying hard enough.” “I bet it’s because they’re addicts.” “It’s their fault for supporting terrorism!” They’re making THEIR lack of emotional development YOUR problem.

“Why are schools so bad at handling bullying?” Because we live in an abuse culture, which means proper handling of bullying would require challenging the status quo; an institution purpose-built for indoctrination into the status quo is the last place that will ever challenge it.

@citrusgirlpaige Things are not like they should be, but it feels like things should be like they should be. It's not really something logic can handle. Well, from the inside anyway, you need a mirror.

@TheDarkDuchesss She has decided she knows the right thing to do and no amount of realizing she was wrong will deter her from doubling down.

My mom keeps making and buying loaf cake and keeps getting upset when nobody eats it and its just like. Mother I have never met anyone in my life who has gone "You know what sounds good right now?" YOU DONT EVEN LIKE IT. SHE DOESNT EVEN EAT IT. WHY IS SHE DOING THIS 😭

@meowkoteeq Ah yes, more COBOLds for the legacy systems. Eh, well, it's job security. The more things change.

my only hope is that the real Software Engineers don't go extinct and can still work on critical systems that require hardcore low level knowledge (JS, Java, C#, Django, Next.js, S3, Supabase, Okta and more deep stuff like this)

vibecoding is scary... we now have people describing the logic they need in a high level language (like English), have some software convert it into a program that they then push straight to prod. they don't even know how the resulting program really works! they don't look inside! they don't have any real knowledge to actually understand what the lower level (the generated code) does! what if there is a bug or a critical vulnerability? this is unprecedented. this has never happened before. this is extremely dangerous. we are all going to die.

@f4micom You’re a lot more outspoken about your values, and they’re good values. And you have the skill to stand by them while not letting zealotry blind you. It’s delightful. The world’s better when the people thinking they’re the arbiters of normal don’t get to be the only voices.

in the span of like 1-2 years i went from specifically avoiding talking about politics as much as possible here to some people knowing me first as "that euro girl on twitter" and THEN figuring out i have a youtube channel with mostly unrelated stuff on it which is pretty funny
