A good rule of thumb is that if it has ever been an infomercial product, it's very most likely fake. Kevin Trudeau used to advertised speed reading courses that gave you mega memory. He advertised a lot of other snake oil the same way,

Speed reading is really teaching you to skim. You can retain the main info but not so much of the finer details. I've read about studies where they quantified how much was retained between people reading "normal" speed, and t

The "nod if you understand" bit doesn't really mean anything here, because the model will simply generate a response that fits what it's generally read before. That means you can pretty much expect it to nod and say it u

Sardine cans are totally stackable. Some canned ham product cans are, too. Not many others are, surprisingly.

Page Not Found. But I wonder if it is because masculine boys aren't bullied as much as more feminine boys are. The same can be said for "tomboy" girls, I am sure. I admit to that being pulled out of a hat, but it was my first

This would probably feel a lot like living on a compound. Some people come and go, and then there's the core group that you know for the whole duration because they're there for the same reason you are. Visiting the different coun

Too bad the 16Gb chip he found was fake. It would be cool to have one of the world's only 16Gb or more Raspberry Pis.

This caught me off guard without the "Long Live ..." continuation that is the headline meme these days. In the early 2000's I ran a lab and made it a 4 day week. The 5th day, up to the individual but scheduled, was done at ho

Interestingly I got an email from my cellphone provider today that pretty much talks about this very subject, although in a less scientific manner. They made a video (link at end) and the description for the video says: "Did you know 8

I remember a bunch of years ago that there was software that could take a text and then determine if other texts were written by the same person, based on certain statistical points regarding the writing style and language use. I would expe

I think mostly it is because people join servers that basically cater specifically to them. For example, I'm on infosec.exchange. Needless to say, it is very easy for me to engage in conversations, and very easy for others to engage wi

They used to post graphics that basically said masks only work if you and the infectious person are both wearing masks. In other words, if only the uninfected person is wearing a mask, or if only the infected person is wearing a mask, all b

This is the first time I've seen Arduino ASM. The multiple next-line jumps are ... interesting.

I'm interested in seeing how this will affect Twitter folk's so-called mass exodus, since it normalizes the entire concept of paying for blue checkmarks. But it ignores the fact that you could use sites like gmail and microsoft to

Yes. It is nearly impossible to get ChatGPT talking like this, without experimenting with various forms of prompt trickery. But it's almost the default endpoint for Sidney Bing. Microsoft has the resources to keep up, so I am sure this

If you have embedded video, please do it in a way that doesn't make the videos stutter. I don't know if it is the tracking, or if they are acting as a proxy or relay, but some days longer Twitter videos are impossible to watch. I

With the results I've seen people posting from Bing, it could be very dangerous. ChatGPT has managed to get things into a reasonable state, and it does generally keep a friendly tone these days. But it seems like there is a high risk o

It was yet another way to stretch that 80-20 rule's mileage. I remember when the idea of a bell curve was new, and you saw it applied to absolutely everything, even if it was only a superficial (or sometimes completely bogus) fit. I&#x

Because of the size of the apt database (just one example, because apt is not the only package manager that needs to be taken into account) to begin with, I imagine anything outside of a distro's specific curation would make it really

It's interesting how this is panning out with Microsoft. Since Bing seems to be so existentialist in its conversations, I asked ChatGPT to develop a 3D model of its inner core, and I would 3D print it so that it could become real. I tr

It's the ability to pretty much hover for a while that makes it different. Considering how fast recon satellites fly past overhead (literally a single blink to cross your entire field of view), according to those green laser videos tha

Yes, and this was actively encouraged. In all documentation for DOS, there are spaces between the command and all of its switches. It was rare to see them jammed together. It worked either way, but the preference for spaces was pretty clear

It really emphasizes how bad the GOP commentary is as they and Trump Jr make comments about going outside with your guns and shooting it down yourself. Lots of people could get hurt, and that would totally have not worked anyway. Nobody sho

In that case, it would have been interesting to see what it would generate with "Palestinian" in the query. Then we might detect a pattern of interrelated biases, or a single White bias.
