The best time to improve your OpSec was a long time ago. The second best time is now.

Anyone have HRT or DIY HRT guidance for someone living in Japan?

Being in Japan has allowed a couple of people to find me, and both are asking how to get started. Best I've got is "speak to your GP or go DIY via the US supply chain and hope to get it past customs"... Neither is a great response.

Please boost for exposure, and if there are Japanese HRT resources for trans women please share. Both are English speaking people living in Japan, I mostly want to help them with finding information.

Please be less aggro when you file issue reports. I know that you’re experiencing something frustrating, but remember there is a real person on the other side of the screen and we want to help you

Every time I read AI proponents say, “A well-defined specification upfront is crucial for a successful outcome,” it feels like we're betting on improving the stage that the computer industry has always failed at: a well-defined specification upfront.

Can we please stop calling #LLMs #AI and start calling them #AutomatedPlagiarism. It describes what they do. It describes what they are. And it makes clear what they are not: They are not Intelligent. And they aren’t entirely Artificial. Everything they emit is a distorted copy of something originally created by a human being.
And more importantly, almost every sentence where you could write ‘AI’ is the clearer for being made accurate: we’re investigating the ethical use of Automated Plagiarism; I used Automated Plagiarism to do my research/home work/board presentation; I just use Automated Plagiarism for inspiration/the first draft/to get me started; the Automated Plagiarism machine deleted the production database and then wrote an apology.
What if plagiarism, but automated and error prone?
