I’ve heard for awhile about an “ADHD walk” - apparently folks with autism also have gait differences. The belief is due to differences in how the body perceives balance.

Which makes an odd sort of sense to me. The diseases may share some common causes.
Possible that symptom presentation may be similar.

Tiny Batman is not taking the divorce well. At first he thought losing the tiny mansion and being forced to downsize from Twayne Manor (Tiny Wayne Manor) out in the burbs to this high-rise apartment would put him closer to the action downtown. A refreshing life change after all that’s happened.
However, his neighbors yell at each other all day long while he’s trying to sleep, and seem to have even more sensitive hearing than him during the nighttime quiet periods. He can’t rush out the door because every slam or even loud footfalls seems to trigger a call to building management. He’s even gotten calls about his scanner radio being too loud, no matter how softly he plays it.
Most nights he just sits on the balcony, quietly listening to the scanner and drinking. Anti-suicide netting makes it impossible to just glide down to street level with his bat wings and the elevator takes so long that by the time he gets to the Tiny Bat Mobile, most vics are dead and the perps are long gone. More and more, he just turns the radio off, drinks until he staggers over to his pee spot, and then stumbles over to fall asleep with his back against a stack of bottles - he knows they’ll keep him safe from the memories that are trying to sneak up on him.

I was going to ask “What’s your point?” but then I realized that this post isn’t even anti-AI.

The text of this post highlights anticompetitive business practices that have nothing to do with OpenAI’s business model.
Straight up - they can’t even use the silicon wafers.

This is just market manipulation to harm their competition and possibly engage in stock market fuckery. (Micron, which stands to make billions, is largely owned by U.S. based wealth management companies.)

OpenAI and its business partners stand atop a massive bubble that they are desperate to not have pop. I’m horrified, but kind of impressed at the maneuver.

You’re throwing stones in the wrong direction.

It’s one of those thought terminating statements that people throw out to disingenuously “win” arguments on the internet.

Your post was useful and interesting. The image accompanying it was not, but it doesn’t change the information relayed.

The other half are worse: people shouting nonsense at each other.

Not even whimsical nonsense, just nonsense about the maximally efficient way to exchange your labor and/or morality for the idea of financial security.

OnlyFans has steadfastly maintained that it is not explicitly a pornographic site. I imagine if a ruling went out that every tipped interaction on the site was considered pornography, they would step in on behalf of the content creators to try to whittle that down to case-by-case rulings, for no other reason than PR alone.

Tipping into the silly now…

I can’t wait until someone issues a FOIA for the deliberations over whether certain things are pornographic or not.

Can gay people still be gay, or is this like a colonizer situation where gay people now have to identify as Oklahoman?

Well first, I was on drugs at the time.
But second, you don’t think that wide nose with the flared nostrils, the hooded eyelids, and the smarmy smile that screams “I have no respect for humanity” makes them resemble each other?

I feel like I would empathize with the situation you describe, but I’m so cynical, I just imagine the father telling the frightened child that the friendly ice cream man was hiding a terrible secret - that he is a criminal and was here illegally; that he is taking jobs from people who need the work, and will then use the nearest white homeless person as an example of the type of person who could be working, in clean clothes, and not struggling on the streets if only we facilitate this vision of a white Christian ethno-state.

And while that narrative is complete and utter nonsense, it is a common one, and it’s one that impressionable children believe and adopt as a core part of their worldview. Many never recover from that intellectual poisoning.

… I thought that was a vibrator until I zoomed in.

Creepy resemblance.

Huh.

Here’s a Popular Mechanics article that’s exactly one year old: A Secret Parachute in the FBI’s Possession May Have Finally Solved D.B. Cooper’s Identity

And here’s the FBI’s web page over it, which notes they diverted resources to other investigations in 2016, but specifically names McCoy as a favored suspect: D.B. Cooper Hijacking

As far as updates go? I only have sardonic comments about what the FBI is to these days. But I don’t think they are going to work on this one anytime soon.

That and they don’t want to unify the voters as they did with Roe. Not that it helped the voters any…

Everybody hates the government, but that take is not applicable.

Reading the incident report -
A privileged user got spearphished into downloading a compromised system administration tool. After the compromised tool was detected by industry standard (and modern) intrusion detection software and removed, the backdoor it installed, which was not fixed, was (eventually) used to install a keylogger. Shortly thereafter, another privileged user had a keylogger installed. Afterward, the harvested credentials were used to create further compromises in their network and to move laterally throughout it.

The age of the equipment or software is not a factor when your admin accounts get compromised. The user that got compromised should have known better, but they literally failed one thing - double checking the veracity of the download website. They didn’t surrender credentials, or fall for any direct attack. It’s not really a government bad, private industry good sort of thing. Heck, if that had happened to a non-admin user, the attack wouldn’t have been possible.

The why is sort of at the limits of my knowledge. I can tell you a ‘close enough’ what, though.

By default, Windows tries to install programs to the program files directory, but that requires admin, which triggers user account control. However, apps that do not require admin to install or run can still be installed to the users profile. Clicking cancel from a UAC prompt will just try to install the program locally instead of for all users.

My assumption is that many system administrators believed UAC was enough, or that programs installing locally (as in, just for that user) and not requiring admin were not a big deal.

Before I looked closer, I thought the one on the right had a bunch of medals pinned to it like a North Korean general.

Rafiki whacks you on the head with his staff.

Go talk to a therapist!

Was going to comment at the top level, but I wanted to share my thoughts here.

The OP is a really talented writer (I assume in this day of AI) and their ideas have been pretty top notch, even if they are getting some form of assistance with the writing. I genuinely think once they have a body of work, they should launch a website to monetize their efforts or parlay this into future opportunities. Assuming that’s what they want, anyway. The talent is there.

Yeah, but how is making them cool going to help?

“NASA confirms that their new GPS satellites are totally rad. They launch them to space via half pipe!”

(I’m joking.)
