Set in the near future where the key plot element is exploiting the lag between AI training data and reality. Then making it so that the true reality is never known because enough fake information is planted to make the AI all train wrong.

Huge shoutout to @HelloSurgeAI for evaluating the data quality of so many diverse datasets, with <1-2 week turnaround times and barely any effort from us! As I've said before, everyone should be using Surge for data collection

So proud and excited to be a part of the #Artemis team with our @XilinxInc FPGAs on board @NASA_SLS and @NASA_Orion. Congratulations @NASA !!

TIL that you can tweak the Mac Preview app filters to reduce PDF sizes as you'd like (default is super grainy for PDFs of scanned images -- ie documents): https://t.co/YXCJ9T4DrV #til

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is AMD’s almost condescending gesture of nonchalance to make use of an Epyc chiplet (“Milan”) with 3D-V cache as a “secondary purpose”, pack it into a normal consumer CPU and “purely by chance” send Intel’s waffle toast... #amd https://t.co/dmN5KStj3l

@_bppr Well, mostly sunk in, still have to look things up but the basics started to make sense.

[Cymen Vig @cymen]

@_bppr Did you play Flexbox Froggy yet? I found it sunk in after doing that once or twice and then experimenting more. https://t.co/1PvcnF4AOd

@_bppr But to be serious (I barely drink alcohol these days and have $1500 of crypto I paid $0 for), I think anyone is even partially cynical is going to have a hard time buying into crypto. I've tried to understand it more but it's often disappointing...

[Cymen Vig @cymen]

@_bppr Don't worry, when I'm tooling down LSD driving my Lambo with my pinky toes and toking on a fatty joint, I'll still pass the Gray Poupon to you. We can still be friends.

@timminkov @Cockos I haven't used that yet -- I'll try it on my Windows computer. I kind of like the simplicity of LICEcap but curious to see how ShareX functions. Thanks!

[Cymen Vig @cymen]

LICEcap was updated for Big Sur all the way back in February and I missed it. One of my favorite tools for adding UI/UX details to PRs! Thanks @Cockos https://t.co/PsjULYi3yM #licecap

@Sosowski The first PC I built of my own had an AMD 386 DX-40 chip and I had 8 x 256 Kb SIMMs. Later, I upgraded to 8 x 1 Mb for I think $20/Mb? My dad let me use a 40 Mb hard drive but then Best Buy had a sale -- 100 Mb for $99!

@SquareEnix @tombraider Some free games would be nice! #SquareEnixPresents

So many folks (esp. the media) are missing the complete backstory on $GME and how we got here.

This has been simmering for over a year and the story behind it is great. I’ve been tracking this since September and devoured all of the details from the origin through today.

After reading https://t.co/GHORVVMgbL went from "Bluetooth Coexistence" set to Enabled to having it set to Pre-emptive. Sounds like it's well supported/common place today...

[Cymen Vig @cymen]

Guessed my 2.4 GHz wifi was interfering with Bluetooth earbuds (creating distortion / aptX "dropouts"). Enabled (probably Asus-specific) "Bluetooth Coexistence" and set channel bandwidth to 20 MHz (instead of 20/40 or 40) and so far no interference. #wifi #Bluetooth

Everyone working remotely:

ZOOM monitors the activity on your computer and collects data on the programs running and captures which window you have focus on.

If you manage the calls, you can monitor what programs users on the call are running as well. It's fucked up.

[Cymen Vig @cymen]

Well... That sucks. They broke search. The UI for if you have a thing in a collection or not is broken too. Can't tell if already in a collection. Adding to a collection is broken too -- I have 83 collections but dropdown maxes out at like maybe 40? So... Yeah. #thingafail :(

[Cymen Vig @cymen]

Wow! @thingiverse finally updated their site. Feels snappier at the moment. Excited to see some changes after the great stagnation. #thingiverse
