Crowdsourcing a question for security folks who aren’t absolutely underwater right now: do people know of more secure translation apps? I got asked and I don’t know the answer either

The more old tech I mess with, the more I realize how insane it would be to explain to someone in the past that nobody really uses physical currency anymore
Now where did I put a quarter so I can open this projector

It’s hard to tell because sandwiching it with two panes of glass isn’t perfect, and its a super soft emulsion, but if I add enough monobath goo to start seeing something then there ends up being too much goo separating the film and paper.

I think I rated this Kodalith at 6 ASA last time I used it? Granted, I'm aiming it at a white wall with a Stouffer step wedge in front of it in the film holder.

Huh, never noticed it before going to open it, but this expired box of RC paper isn’t 4x5, the sheets are 10x15cm postcards with the emulsion on the other side

Aight, made a liter of Crawley's FX 6a from scratch. Once it cools down a bit I'll try mixing some of it with a bit of the CMC goo I made the other day.
Think I'll test by exposing a sheet of kodalith, putting some monobath goo on the center of fixed out RC paper, then sandwich the kodalith ontop

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities.

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

Bitch what the fuck do you mean "technical talks on the acquisition of Greenland", that reads like invasion plans
Leavitt on WH meeting with officials from Denmark and Greenland: "In that meeting the two sides agreed to establish a working group of individuals who will continue to have technical talks on the acquisition of Greenland ... the president wants the US to acquire Greenland."

This is your reminder that geoblocking is basically worthless as it was scrawled onto the IP justification form to ARIN by some sleep deprived network engineer before being tossed into their DHCP pool. And don't get me started about mobile CGNAT space
The social media platform X said late Wednesday that it was blocking Grok, the A.I. chatbot created by Elon Musk, from generating sexualized and naked images of real people in certain locations.
Elon Musk’s X Restricts Ability to Create Explicit Images With Grok
Bowing to pressure, the company said it would restrict X users from generating explicit images of real people in jurisdictions where such content is illegal.
