Oh
Oh hey
I'm free. I work for myself now.
Weird.
In which I train a neural network classifier to answer the question: Metal band or My Little Pony?

I want an 80s style cartoon where Glam Rock sysadmins do battle with sludge metal crackers and malware in cyberspace.
I am really curious how the French government will get away with using Matrix/Riot in all their govt agencies. They'll either have to ignore people with disabilities, or they'll have to contribute a huge amount of work to the Matrix project, both the web front-end and the iOS and Android clients. Because for a blind screen reader user, Matrix is far from being usable efficiently right now.
And no, I don't have time to contribute to all of these projects. I can't fight all fights.
I should pin this. I have books & short stories for sale in ebook form. Some short stories are even free! elizabeth-mccoy.com
Welp, last day of work over. It was weird.
Then I missed the bus to the airport... Because I took an extra two minutes to delete my desktop browser history. 😆 Oh well, I can take a taxi.
I could have ssh'd in from my phone on the bus and done it that way... Oh well!

@Ferrovore Always in favor of cute satyr guys, regardless the cost. Godt arbeitslust!
@calvin Heck, I think the first class I ever taught was on Eudora.
@DirkGrundy comes out quite well, actually.
In other news, German gendered definite articles apparently still scourge my gonads. At least in Danish there's only two of them, and you can guess which is which about 85% of the time.
Plus German irregular verbs always catch me by surprise because I feel like German, stereotypically, is 100% regular and without exceptions. Alas, not quite. "Essen" -> "isst", pfah.
People talk about how neural network research is the next great job to get into after programming, but personally I suspect adversarial neural network research is going to be even bigger.
Know what's bigger than making a thing? Knowing how to break it - or securing it from being broken.
For example, this video that demonstrates a 3D printed turtle purposely designed to make a network think its looking at a rifle instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piYnd_wYlT8
Welcome to #cyberpunk
Well this is slightly concerning, a whole bunch of new accounts registered from weird email addresses that haven't set any profile information or posted anything yet.
I'm noticing a suspiciously large number of new signups with names that look like they were generated by an algorithm.
Can the new folks within the past 48 hours or so please introduce themselves? Thanks!

I don't know what the heck they are
But there is some sort of local bird whose spring "wanna smash" call sounds a lot like the Ythotha's gatling gun from Supreme Commander.
It's weird.

Looks like there is an influx of spam accounts being created on the federverse right now.
If you find any on our instances, please flag them and smush the report button.
I'm keeping an eye on things but may miss a few here and there.
If you know users looking for an account but have been squashed due to the influx of account creations, please let me know and I can send them a registration link.
