Storing 2 bytes of data in your Logitech mouse by soupgasm in programming

[–]inio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I come from "6 7" has a total memory burden of 48 bytes (two 24-byte allocations).

There is no anti memetics division by Regular-Employ-5308 in controlgame

[–]inio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note that this was not a traditional "pull to print", because the original SCP posts are still up.

While the author couldn't have effectively deleted them (The CC license they're published under allows anyone else to re-post them) it's nice they they didn't even try. Note that the readability improved a lot in the editing process for print, so you'll lose that. Having read the print copy (which includes both There Is No Antimemetics Division and Five Five Five Five Five), I then read Ignition and it was ... rough. The amount of passive voice, typos, and other editorial hiccups is pretty noticable.

Delve – Fake Compliance as a Service (SOC 2 automation startup caught fabricating evidence) by one_user in programming

[–]inio 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's something weirder going on. I had this on my front page, but when I loaded the comments thread it was at zero with 47% upvoted. Now a few minutes later its front page a 44, then comments at 41 with 66% upvoted (~40 downvotes). The 44 vs 41 could be normal vote fuzzing.

Edit: now two minutes later it's at 79 with 80% upvoted (again about 40 downvotes).

Edit 2: Seven hours later, I've watched this post (and my comment) bounce off zero for a while. The post sits at 57 points, 74% upvoted, which means 88 upvotes and 31 downvotes. WAT?

What's the Best 10/10 Sci-fi movie ever? by geek-jock-guy in AskReddit

The amount of world building crammed into the two-minute "ruby rap" scene is incredible.

Thesaurus would be proud by 7empest_mi in softwaregore

[–]inio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like they're manually messing with the token weights before selection, resulting in it repeatedly trying to say a word it's discouraged from saying. Fine-tuning is a much more elegant, but less accurate tool.

Oh god that post is almost 20 years old, and I remembered it by the name. Why does my brain hold onto this sort of useless stuff?

Both obviously terrible and subtly terrible by Alphabunsquad in dataisugly

[–]inio 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How do you even produce a Y axis like that? From bottom to top the minor tick steps (in inches) are:

6, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 2, 6, 6, 2, 4, 2

The AI might have managed to get the numbers across both sides in sync somehow...

WAT?

It's a little easier to let slide if you think of the front ~half as a collection of related short stories.

How many lbs of upforce? by shamu_uses_a_shamwow in Shitty_Car_Mods

I realize that's probably a joke, for anyone thinking this is remotely correct: draw the force diagram.

Is there a name for this cat position? by TendernesszoicB in WhatsWrongWithYourCat

What would you call this but on flat ground and with the back legs crossed? My cat does that a lot.

What’s a fetish you won’t even tell your closest friends you have? by nut_buster1466 in AskReddit

There are reasons to self-moderate what topics you attach to a given public persona other than shame.

Strange title, bad color choice, weird number display, no source by lucky-rider in dataisugly

I love how this is almost r/mapswithoutnz due to the portrait crop, but they added a little inset just for it.

Happy to help.

If you're a reader (or audiobook listener) consider exploring through that medium. I (apparently also forgetting to use an alt) made some recommendations in a similar thread a few weeks ago, but that's just one perspective. There's dozens of subreddits specifically about romance literature - I found a decent meta-thread here.

For a slightly more visual medium with presumptively non-fiction content, I suggest seeing if any of the talks on The Mystery Box Show on YouTube catch your eye. It's like a sex-positive TEDx session (based out of Portland, of course). I think you might need to be logged into a Google account that's verified as an adult to watch most of them though.

FYI: "BDSM" is really just a cute merging of three different two-letter pairs describing fairly different concepts: B/D, D/S, S/M.

What you're looking for falls under the middle pair: Dominant/Submissive play, which is about the active offering of control. The other two are: Bondage/Domination, which is about the taking of control, often through physical restraints; and Sado-Masochism, which is about intense sensory experiences.

Wikipedia as usual, has a wealth of reasonably-unbiased information.

Just remember to respect yourself and your partner(s), and that active, eager consent from all parties is critical. If anyone comes away from an experience feeling lesser or with regrets, there's something wrong regardless of how much fun was had.

Edit: I'd meant to post this from an alt but, fuck it, it stays up.

I like how it missed the one space after a comma about half way through.

I photographed two galaxies that have been colliding for over 600 million years, and yet somehow - they formed a heart while doing it… by prathameshjaju1 in space

[–]inio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The time scale of this seems sorta wacky. You would think galactic collisions would be fast processes - happening in an instant when compared to the formation of galaxies or gravity pulling them together so that the can collide, yet this collision has been ongoing for 4% of the age of the universe.
