Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

The version my team invented was called "balloon ball" and the balloon had to touch a desk, wall, or cubical before it could be hit by a person again. But the important bit is that the balloon wasn't entirely filled with air, it was partially filled with the propellant from a duster can. That made the "ball's" path unpredictable.

There was also "balloon ball-ducken" in which there was a 2nd balloon inside the first balloon (and a sometimes a paperclip in the 2nd), but that sport was never quite ready for primetime.

Post your memes when the tomato timer goes off and everything is above board... or so I tell myself.

Would he intentionally replicate crappy coffee?

I still get cravings for absolute crap I ate in college. If I had a replicator it'd still be making the occasional totino's party pizza and cup-o-noodle.

Yes, in octal notation. You can express an IP using other bases.

We always have at least one thing on our counter that would otherwise be thrown into recycling, but it was rinsed and kept because it'll make a good grease receptacle.

Do you think Holden would replicate matches to put in his coffee, or would he just order it hot with phosphorus?

55555555

All addresses that that start in 555 were left open by the internet protocol developers just for movies and TV shows.

Snot Flickerman was right, it's dd. It was in the docs I linked to show the commands. It runs on anything with storage devices and an operating system. I mainly use it on Windows servers running on AWS.

It surprises me how many system utilities I use that are older than I am. I am currently initializing a disk on a cloud server with an application that was written when Ford was the US president.

I'd usually don't log my crimes so I don't need to delete them. But I guess that's why I'll never be the Emissary.

 

Local to me in Oregon, anyway.

Happy Saturday everyone!

I'm sorry.

I was listening to music at work today and when Bonnie Tyler came on, this popped into my head. Image and title. This place has broken my brain.

In a good way.

 

A team of researchers who say they are from the University of Zurich ran an “unauthorized,” large-scale experiment in which they secretly deployed AI-powered bots into a popular debate subreddit called r/changemyview in an attempt to research whether AI could be used to change people’s minds about contentious topics.

more than 1,700 comments made by AI bots

The bots made more than a thousand comments over the course of several months and at times pretended to be a “rape victim,” a “Black man” who was opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement, someone who “work[s] at a domestic violence shelter,” and a bot who suggested that specific types of criminals should not be rehabilitated.

The experiment was revealed over the weekend in a post by moderators of the r/changemyview subreddit, which has more than 3.8 million subscribers. In the post, the moderators said they were unaware of the experiment while it was going on and only found out about it after the researchers disclosed it after the experiment had already been run. In the post, moderators told users they “have a right to know about this experiment,” and that posters in the subreddit had been subject to “psychological manipulation” by the bots.
