This week NPR’s podcast The Indicator From Planet Money has two episodes about #videogames. I’m especially interested in the Designing For #Disability episode. It’s cool to see more and more #accessibility
affordances in games.
Hey #InfoSec and software #developers, does your org use a tool to detect credentials accidentally checked into source control? Which one? Are you happy with it?
If your "elevated number of support requests" is more than N days per year, the company is legally required to instead say "We have chosen to consistently underfund our CS team so they are unable to keep up with entirely predictable levels of demand."
I am repeating my request for a term to describe the confluence of confirmation bias and schadenfreude.
That is, I irrationally dislike Foo, news comes out that Foo is bad in some way, then I feel smugly justified in my irrational dislike as though I knew all along.
(See Substack.)
Surely someone has already coined a term for this. @grammargirl, have you any thoughts?
@mkb heh you're about the tenth person to link that to me. We've been discussing it in our discord server...unfortunately they're still applying gendered censorship to "people who look female" in their hot tubs and pools category (guess who doesn't have to wear a bikini/swimsuit top vs who does), and regardless of what their rules claim, it's still completely arbitrary and influenced by algorithms, and thanks to my dedicated cabal of haters that follows me platform to platform and mass-reports everything I post, I'll continue to get banned to a degree that no one else seems to be 🙃
Hey #synthesizer people, I'm looking for samples of that classic #DX7 bell sound that used to be used everywhere. It's the one from the chorus of Siouxsie's "Cities In Dust."
So far my Google skills are failing me. I was sure the DX100 pack by Samples From Mars would have it but no dice.
There’s a little stutter in the main riff of “Deuce.” After decades of listening to that album on the regular I still can’t tell whether the rhythm is intentional or they didn’t quite have the chops to play what they intended.
@mkb I'm weirdly tempted to build a system that is as simple in architecture as those 8- or 16-bit era ones (vga graphics, ps/2 keyboard, a simple bus, etc.), but uses a nice, non-SoC, #riscv cpu...
@mkb Lots of people imagine the research into identifying AI output is about them. LOL NO.It's about identifying novel training material.
You can't train on the same data and expect anything good.
But I see your doomsday scenario and raise you 'Apocalypse When':
AI drives stackoverflow and other public forums out of business but within no time it cannot answer anymore since it is well past its cutoff date and has no more training data. All the real programmers retired.
