My search converged with the other commenter and found the same link they did.. (I completely skipped over the link they provided somehow before I started my own looking.)

But yeah, I agree it's probably an EEPROM and you might be able to copy it?

Well, it's kinda cool to look around and also realize that much of what you see likely came from multiple supernovae and/or kilonovae. (Huh. I have never needed to pluralize the word 'kilonova' before. Meh.. It looks cool with the 'e', so I'll leave it.)

Eventually, our atoms are going to get blasted out across the universe again to maybe become part of some other planetary system, before it eventually gets destroyed or sucked into blackhole and is evaporated as radiation. This might not even be the first universe our bits have been a part of ..

That is the fault of the CISO. Execs get really interested, really quick, if the CISO can draw clear lines to the risks of direct financial loss via fraud or compliance failures that would result in fines or loss of customers.

The worst presentations I have seen are usually where the CISO tries to lean on FUD or cries wolf about hot-topic security threats that don't apply to the company they work for.

That's why I started running at age 45. Unless I get injured and can't run any more, I am kinda hoping that my heart will just explode one day on the track, and that'll be it. (I have already surpassed my one mile running pace from my 20's and have no plans to slow down.)

The injury bit would really suck, as spending the rest of my days not able to walk would be really bad. Even more so as I am using running as a way to delay the process of arterial stenosis that has already started at my kidneys. (I suspect my life would get really suck, really quick, if I can't actively manage that. It's already put me in the ICU once, just about one year ago.)

I got a small glimpse into how my body is breaking down already and decided focus on the things I could actually do to slow that down.

Still, even with the risks, I am able at least point my physical health and well-being in a much better direction that should pay off (hopefully) in my last 40 years. (Quitting booze a few years ago probably ensured that I would still have a family around that gives a shit about me, so there is that as well.)

I can't predict the future and eventually my body will still give out regardless. Doing what I can now to ensure a smooth path out is just about the only thing I can do.

That is, quite literally, from The Onion.

The mustard pattern is the same in the source image I found and in a million other shirts that you can buy online. The original design may be AI generated, but anyone can get the shirt with that same pattern. It's just the letters that look wonky.

IMHO, it's not enough to say the entire image is AI.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Scroll down on the above site to solve the star conundrum. (There are multiple styles of the image to choose from.)

There may be multiple levels of AI involved. The original design may have been stolen from the site and had the original watermark removed with AI. When it was enhanced by the camera, the original corrections to the image caused the enhancement to become distorted. (As what happens when an image is ran through AI multiple times. Who knows how many times images on the interwebs now have been processed multiple times? It's the modern version of a picture getting "jpeg'd" into oblivion.)

Or, the only thing AI in the picture from OP is the design with the watermark removed and placed on the shirt itself. That could cause the distortion and also pass AI detection tests if done correctly.

My final guess is also my first. It's just simply broken photo enhancement. A picture like that would still have a dark foreground, even with a flash, due to the stage lighting in the background. (What I am saying is there is a high probability of an AI corrected picture that originally had a long exposure time. That is absolutely a condition that needs photo correction.)

tl;dr: the photo was originally too dark and "juice" was slopped-in by default.

Think I found a source and suspect that the corruption of "juice" was due to AI picture enhancement. It'll break some weird parts of photos at times.

Edit: I tried stage matching that show for a bit and my best guess was Coachella. I tried to stage match in a poor attempt to find an "actual" original, unaltered version of the picture that possibly didn't contain the girl or the shirt. I think I found a couple different angles of that stage, which I thought was cool, but nothing worth mentioning further.

(I guess this is a 7mo update too? https://lemmy.ca/post/53008395)

Running and breathing control is a topic repeated ad nauseam on the interwebs, but is probably worth a rehash as new techniques are discovered or newer runners run into issues. (I still consider myself a new runner, as I still have not reached what I would consider to be an "acceptable" or consistent pace for anything over a casual 5k.)

My biggest limiter with my running is breathing. While nasal issues are absolutely in-play for me (severely deviated septum; surgery this week), I have been able to inch my way up to between 4-6 miles with a regular running schedule, strict recovery schedule and of course, pushing myself consistently and safely. My "running out of air" is always the hard wall I hit, head first.

The muscle burn has always been easy for me to push through, but if I start to hold my running/heartrate even a hair over 140bpm I will crash fairly quick (10-15mins), "run out of air" and have to stop before my current target time of 45 mins.

I suspect my blood pressure meds may be in play as well, capping my heart rate to a degree and limiting O2 uptake. I am going to talk with my Dr. about that as I may be to a point soon that I don't need them. I have already gone through two medication "downgrades" and have stopped one completely under supervision, of course.

Most of my running is treadmill, mostly because I love the consistency at a chill 10min/mi pace. Once a week, I will hit the track and practice at my target marathon pace of 8:30min/mi, but that is essentially just glorified sprints, as I can only handle .25 miles at a time as my heartrate peaks fairy quick, for obvious reasons. (Run faster, heart more beat faster.)

Casual track running will push my breathing harder, but does not seem to peak my heart rate as fast, which is super weird. When spring started and I hit the track again this year, I was gasping for air at an 11min pace and my heartrate wasn't a beat over 135. Talk about a demotivating experience. I am recovering my track pace again slowly and it's taking more time than I anticipated. (I can still run like a champ on the treadmill though, so it's a good morale boost.)

Do you specifically train for breathing in your exercise of choice? Do you go so far as to allocate an entire training day to just breathing or work it into your routine normally?

I know most of the basics like belly breathing, in one/out two and all the variations, coordinated breathing with pace, etc. I am still settling into, and experimenting with, different techniques as my pace and distance increases. However, feel free to rehash anything as getting different perspectives and starting discussion is the ultimate goal of this post.

Bug Report

Describe the issue:

  1. The text selector is sticky again during comment or edit
  2. Some comment replies do not unroll/expand in profile history.
  3. Not all comments load.
  4. My new comments don't always load until after app reload in profile history.
  5. Votes aren't updated until after app restart. (In profile history)
  6. Strange loading behavior/broken search for piefed instances.
  7. Text selector is un-broken editing this post sometimes.
  8. (Maybe not a bug) I can't sort by new in Connect community.

There are plenty more, and they all are mostly tiny things. A button might not work, comment replies won't unroll, etc. "Major" functions work, but everything around the edges needs polish.

The text selector one is absolute torture.

So, yeah. It's been a few years sober now, so that is nice.

One thing I have noticed about myself is the actual existence of a personality. It wasn't a change that happened within the first few months of being sober, but over the following years.

Strangely enough, a bizarre trait is that if given the chance, I can talk about just about anything for hours. My saving grace is that I was always a repository for massive amounts of random information, but now, I can string all of that data together into coherent sentences then easily pivot into all related sub-topics and associated information on top of that.

I make a ton more off-the-cuff jokes now and I don't even know where they come from. It seems I have the ability to make people laugh, which I never thought possible.

Overall, my personality has become extremely broad these days and the above is just a couple of examples. One might say that I am a pleasant person to be around? (That is a very strange feeling, BTW.)

Has anyone else seen themselves or others go through massive personality shifts like I describe? I am not understating "massive". I surprise myself nearly every day with how intense I can get.

FWIW, I was an extremely heavy drinker when I quit and was about a year into serious dependency.

 

Quick definition for those who don't know: Cognitive dissonance occurs when a person's behavior and beliefs do not complement each other or when they hold two contradictory beliefs.

Story time! Please read this in it's entirety as there is important context as well as an actual point.

I have been spending some time with the in-laws over the past couple of weeks, because reasons. They are an immigrant family, but have been in the US since the tail end of the Vietnam war. All hold US citizenship and it's a large family.

Politics has cone up occasionally, but for the most part, we tend to steer away from those discussions when we mistakenly bring them up in conversation. Strangely enough, some are actually Trump supporters but I wouldn't go so far as to say anyone is full-blown "MAGA" or anything. I would describe the support as mild and truly ignorant of broader level politics.

So, there was some discussion about how immigrants needed to be kicked out of the US and there was support for mass deportations. Another conversation was about how "everyone"abused food stamps and welfare, but within about 10 mins, the discussion flipped to what products another person in the family could buy with their EBT card. Medicare and Medicaid is also a waste of the countries money, but then later there was a discussion about how to use those benefits for another family member.

Politics aside, cognitive dissonance is a bitch to deal with, especially when it's coupled with anecdotal evidence that may not even be real. I suspect that any experience with other "immigrants" I heard over the last couple of weeks are likely the result of a single, heavily biased experience coupled with gossip. (The gossip may create false memories of a situation the person believes is true. I think there is a special name for that.)

Telling a person bluntly that they are wrong is usually counter productive. Calling out the contradictions in beliefs can also be strangely unproductive as well. When a valid argument is made and a person realizes they can't resolve a conflicting belief, the tendency seems to be to fall back on a generic phrase like, "Well, I don't fully understand it, but that person must know what they are doing.", or something similar.

Provided that you actually give a shit, how do you go about cracking the shell of someone that has fallen victim to this kind of thing?

 

I have no plans to move from Lemmy any time soon, but I am curious if PieFed integration was being considered.

It would probably make more sense to fork Connect but a "multi-client" would be neat.

 
 

There seems to be a correlation between how long a feed hasn't been interacted with and this behavior. (Scroll up and down a feed; Wait a random amount of time; pre-fetching seems to halt.)

There are times when pre-fetching the feed can be slow and briefly pause while loading. Sometimes, this is when the feed will lock up.)

 

... this happens more often on cursed memes. /s

I can still slide to open the menu, but cannot take action on the feed. (The + button opens in the fore-foreground, so it works as well as 'back to exit' Connect.)

I was playing with the thumbnail preview in fairly rapid succession when one just "stuck".

 
 

Seemingly random. Error may only happen on the first post a new thread. Could be a server-side issue, but not sure.

 

Menu -> Refresh does not cause this issue.
