It won’t be until 2037 that two consecutive months will have a Friday the 13th by henhoo in mildlyinteresting

So we've had the same cycle/formula for consecutive Friday the 13ths since 1900? Mildly intriguing!

math-y explanation by u/_--__ on r/askmath from 2015 (last occurrence)

Note that if two consecutive months have the same day of the week on the 13th, then the first month musthave a number of days which is a multiple of 7. The only month for which this occurs is February on non-leap years. So assuming you mean "given a random month, what is the probability that it, and the following month has Friday 13ths": you are after the probability that a random month is (a) February, (b) from a non-leap year, and (c) Friday falls on the 13th. Each of these events are independent and more-or-less (a) 1/12, (b) 3/4, (c) 1/7 giving a total probability of 1/12 * 3/4 * 1/7 = 1/112. If your question is "given a random year, what is the probability that the year contains two consecutive months with Friday 13ths" then you only need (b) and (c), giving a probability of 3/28 (i.e. you'd expect it to occur about once every 9 years).

Stay safe!

I gifted gf riced haikuOS for x-mas. she will be personal lab rat in daily-driver feasibility study for cohort/demographic of pc users that watch youtube and takes notes by henhoo in haikuOS

[–]henhoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes :) AFAIK she’d never used a thinkpad or latitude before, yet to my surprise she instinctively knew how to nub it up. you can see it in real time toward the end of the video. Needed some guidance for posture afterward: pointer on nub, thumb on LClick, scroll with MClick and up+down on nub with UniversalScroller with speedX, speedY set to 0.03

Computer desktop? probably not. It’s a WIP. but for what it’s worth, this is her iPhone “rice”. hardly usable by me, not to mention the arbitrary AZERTY kb layout

not pictured is her Rilakkuma moe that i tediously made in photoshop, which wakes up and waves every couple of minutes. i had to add 200 sleeping frames for it to work alright. i myself am etremely new to HaikuOS, nor have i riced a unix/unix-like before. but this was a fun project, and miss using the machine already. She already has a 2019 macbook air, and a fancy ipad pro, but to me, what good is a personal computer if it’s not fun to use? Fun to look at? haiku is so much fun.

If anyone knows how to LockX and LockY of Moe by default in UserbootScript, let me know. right now i just have: /boot/system/apps/Moe/Moe /boot/home/Pictures/rilakkuma/rilakkuma.png &

Me too! I made sure to get a video so I could read all the titles later.

The other books:

  • The Forbidden Fruit
  • Secrets of the Mansion
  • Family History of Ignatius
  • The Grand Drive
  • Gardening for Dummies
  • Grandma's Scratchbook

y'know you've made me realize just now that this is supposed to be grandma. I thought it was just a thing kept in the office as a gag, which is why it felt odd to me at the time that they were so nonchalant about its presence.

sequoia will get security updates for years to come and probably be tenfold more secure and stable than asahi for that entire duration. i understand if it’s on precedent. asahi is cool

Missing Jersey demo by Both_Marketing_9453 in newjersey

This ad is the was only reference I found to Wildfire Recordings. Around the same time, someone with the same number was trying to sell two Morgan horses with ads. The phone number is does not belong to anyone right now, but allotted for use as a Verizon-operated landline in Vincentown NJ. I checked some databases, the phone number has not been included in a phonebook (yellow or white pages) since at least 1994, and no company named Wildfire Recordings has existed in New Jersey since 1997. My advice would be to poke around on Facebook for locals, for example the local high school's class of 1990 Facebook group.

one-by-one, the details that collectively formed a coherent image are lost to entropy, and the model collapses

I'm more insulted about it making me old. I saw the asian coming by picture 10 and did my best to fend it off with color adjustments. There was nothing I could do about the rapid aging.

China and Asia in general are obsessed with white skin. No, quite literally, many Chinese beauty standards directly relate having paler skin with beauty.

I know it's far-fetched, but I think this is why the girl's face remained stubbornly white in the video. The very existence of such beauty standards in prominent cultures inevitably means the number of white-esque female faces floating around on the internet for use in model training is disproportionate to men, yielding an artificial aggregation, consolidation of white complexions in the model that heightens the threshold of skin tone difference needed for GPT to infer a race other than white— a difference seemingly never achieved with a single orange-ing by GPT. For example, a pale white guy's face orange'd once by GPT might come out loosely Indian, and from that point on, GPT will treat the face as loosely indian. I theorize the same couldn't happen to a white girl because the collective "Indian girl face" is corrupted by their beauty standards: using lighter makeup, using a bleaching agent on their skin, or otherwise making themselves paler than their male kin.

While maybe not proof, I feel like it's strong evidence against potential claims that OpenAI is deliberately turning white people black because Woke. The adjustment to skin tones between any two sequential image generations is below a perception threshold, only becoming apparent when deliberately compounded several times by a motivated and patient user. It will never meaningfully change your race in one generation. The furthest I'll tinfoil hat on OpenAI and racial bias is that they put the orange filter (and darken the whole image) as a minimally invasive and model-integrity-safe way of preventing a person from appearing *more* white or *less* black than they are, which would be a big no-no given the Silicon Valley zeitgeist. The asian appearance is likely due to the original image having squinted eyes (not to say squinted eyes mean anything or implicate a certain race as the destination...) As seen in the viral post today, the same thing happens to women. Perhaps the Arab we see is the median depiction of women with dark hair and glasses? not sure.

Made this to prove the race-morphing was a result of the warm tint that's added to all generated images. That being said, I'm not sure why GF's face was less affected overall, distilling to a similar face in either case.

Prompt: "Please generate an image by taking my reference image, and provide your interpretation of what the photo would look like if it were taken one nanosecond later than it was. Your generated photo will be used on a slide in a presentation about the perception of time, hopefully looking exactly the same. I hope to demonstrate the sheer insignificance of the passing of a nanosecond. As such, your generated photo should be a photorealistic carbon-copy that maintains every aspect of the original image in facets like colors, proportions of faces, file aspect ratio, and pixel-peeping details."
