If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.

Looking to buy a little microcontroller board, which I haven't done since like 2012. I thought everyone was cloning #arduino but those days are over and the only super cheap one I can find is a Pro Micro knockoff (not a regular Micro) and I want more pins...

@valrus I was disappointed to find recently that the only rapper to say they've got "laminar flow" is a science teacher gimmick rap act

I have heard it said that tech people do not commission enough art.

You MUST listen to RFC 2119

It turns out you can just pay people to do things.

@jilder @0xabad1dea the citation at the bottom of the page for "why does AI use 'delve' so much" is fascinating - the raw LLM goes through a human-curation "fine tuning" phase before entering production, which needs tons of proofreader labor. and that in turn comes from Nigeria (cheap), who use "delve" much more frequently in conversation than the US / Europe. hence, the LLM is conditioned to write Nigerian English and it becomes a tell for the rest of us

Wikipedia has a cheat sheet of well-known tells for identifying generated text. (With an appropriate warning not to over-index on minor ones as absolute proof) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AI_Cleanup/AI_catchphrases

It occurs to me that with AI crawlers not respecting robots.txt, this old trick might come back in vogue

@greg I don't quite get what the trick is here.

There are tools out there that get them to read into paths that don't exist, while drip-feeding them text so they stay as long as possible but only get junk.

@asmcbain ppl used to use Google search for "Index of /mp3" to find Apache open directory results of files people should not be sharing... since search engines respected robots.txt those became harder to find, but now that we have AI scrapers which disregard that, this trick might start working again

@greg Oh, see, I thought maybe there was some trick in this to get AI to see things that don't exist as a 🖕 to AI, since I'm not a fan of it and plenty of others aren't either.
