Cosmovore
YouTube video by Ulthar - Topic
www.youtube.com
I should start posting songs from whichever band I'm wearing a shirt of, so here's Ulthar's Cosmovore, Lovecraftian blackened death metal from VA. Chaotic but with good riffs that aren't just mindless technicality that death metal can kind of fall into.

Is someone trying to pollute the web with fake Epstein images to make the real ones look fake?

It is a bit ironic, in a paper criticizing people for allegedly overestimating the utility of LLMs, they produced something that is wrong but, because it sounds confident and looks like a real paper, might be believed.

Weird this is how we still celebrate
Today, people consider "Yule" synonymous with "Christmas." But centuries ago, Yule meant something different — a pagan mid-winter festival, dating back to pre-Christian Germanic people.
How cozy Yuletide traditions got their start with raging parties and animal sacrifice

Here’s a really cool technology for science that wouldn’t exist if not for generative AI. It’s built on Segment Anything, a foundation model built to assist the building of Meta’s generative models and itself arguably generative.
I’ve used SA’s zero-shot mask generation to segment histopathology

Do you love quantifying animal behavior as much as we do? We have just the tool for you! Presenting #OCTRON - a pipeline that helps you create rich annotation data and enables training of custom segmentation models. Have a look, particularly if you work with non-model / invertebrate organisms!

The metric system makes more sense overall but Americans are correct on floor naming conventions and temperature. “I’m on floor 0” No. You are on floor 1.

Boycott Ford…for building necessary clean energy infrastructure
Ever since we saw Ford CEO Jim Farley standing beside Trump as he launched his racist rant about Somalians, we knew he was up to no good.
Boycott Ford.

Boycott Ford.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Yeah, the tech vs humanities debate does seem to frequently overlook how many humanists choose that path from a starting position of relative privilege which many people in the technology world wish they could have had.

A glimpse into my very near future
In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.
