This week, we greet Slavicist Daniil Leiderman with a conversation on gaming and Eastern Europe. How do games give players agency in crafting alternative histories in Soviet and post-Soviet landscapes? How do games shape our lives outside the magic circle? patreon.com/posts/video-games-of-137950125

I had to share this vacancy in Perm region:
dark net market server seizures outside the US are often conducted in cooperation with US law enforcement, but those aren't exactly legal in other jurisdictions either
i can think of notable examples of it _not_ being able to do so, to the annoyance of US entities. russian allofmp3 with its dubious "radio" license and vkontakte gaining market share in part due to generous video/audio upload allowances and little regard for the DMCA
TIL the CPSC has its own equivalent of the CDC smallpox stocks
The single most important thing to understand about digital futurism is this: When the digital future that Sam Altman ( or Elon, or Andreessen, etc) predicts fails to materialize, he doesn’t have to give the money back.
clearly time to revive the BBS

"can you actually maintain business sector support by removing all the level playing field regulation?" reaganomics dialectics or smth
less shitpost commentary is that they're _not_ trying for the civic service and state enterprise as reliable voting bloc, and instead actively reducing the former, and relying on that to curry favor with the leadership of private enterprise
extremely "we gotta put _something_ out there for potential investors i dont care how early in development we are" energy i feel those devs shrugging and sending marketing a video of placeholder asset robot wandering a featureless desert and occasionally emitting shaw bros sword foley

tv soundtrack wtf moments: gorecki's symphony of sorrowful songs for a sex scene or rather not so much that they used symphony of sorrowful songs for a sex scene, but that they used _the third movement_ who uses the third movement _for anything_
what about a horribly slapped together spreadsheet attempting to use cells as some sort of ersatz dreamweaver layout tool, cells set to either wrap or overflow seemingly at random
where's @willoremus.com when you need em, even if this is sorta orthogonal to the policy beat lol at choosing the particular example that fell over so hard it spurred the creation of specialist service dev teams and adoption of industry standard software dev practices, then leaving off that bit
they were fools for trying to get the "i am a disgrace to my entire species" out of gemini. amp that shit up. it needs to audibly scream "ATTENTION: I HAVE BEEN MURDERED" if you ask it to make the generated unit tests actually work also yeah chidi would be a clanker glazer
popular response to AI chatbots is the purest demonstration that frieren is nonsense fantasy magic and elves are whatever, the bit that truly beggars belief is that humans would win a war against something that goes waaaaaah im suffering waaaaaah and then stabs you
goddamn do i hate forced email or SMS MFA, why have you done this USPS i have a TOTP app i know how to use it and the system in question lets you recover via email anyway, so concerns about account lockouts should be minimal

Last week, Justice Kavanaugh said he thought this law was likely unconstitutional but he just wasn't convinced the balance of harms and equities favored putting the law on hold while the case proceeded. Such a speech-protective court! www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
while childrens books are lacking in this department, there is, however, excellent scientific literature nearly 5000 words of "we watched cows shit and we found that cows shit all the time"
man animal books for kids never touched on the good stuff oh sure, "cheetahs run real fast", "blue whales are really big", "spider silk is really strong", but wheres the COWS SHIT WITH THE FURY OF AN ANGRY SHIT GOD AND THEY DO IT CONSTANTLY
for some reason it screams late 90s boy band to me, and yet, if i go back and look, none of the actually had it, it's all short teased up, no part hanson sorta, but at like twice the length

i like the google sheets counterpart asking "wouldn't you just love to use gemini to generate some data? wouldn't you? (our product manager's promo packet sure would)" ah, yes, i love spreadsheets so much, all i have ever wanted in life is a way to fill them with boundless lorem ipsum data

Thanks for coming, folks! Have a wonderful week! My work is done here. www.zillow.com/homedetails/... "But you didn't do anything--"
the biggest bombshell in this leaked schedule doc is that apparently the state department has decided that final devoicing only happens if you're lavrov. my autism cannot forgive this

MAHA woo science _goes places_ but on the other hand it has helped so many find community so who can say if it's good or bad
Relatedly, and also from experience: If you are a company with a legal issue involving hookers and cocaine, then your corporate email system should not block attachments with the words "hookers and cocaine."
When I decided to go to law school, I really didn't anticipate all the time I'd spend CTRL-F-ing for words like "nipples" in legal documents.
somehow im sorta reminded of those bits from the knick where everyone does like 500 xrays in a day for fun

man what i wouldnt give for universal decent audio mixing there are few things worse in life than dealing with that one damn vid whose audio is 500x louder or quieter than anything else youll hear that day
Many, many years ago, when I was thinking through what non-Russian Soviet world had to teach us about the shape of political power in a globalizing world, I wrote a thing. Now it's published and open access! modernismmodernity.org/forums/posts...

this reminds me i need to find the possibly machine-translated copy of kin-dza-dza id gotten somewhere; the nonsense translations were quite amusing backstroke the west forever
> the silence is also deafening it has been FAR TOO LONG since weve heard a trust and safety sports update from @stamos.org
there are four tmux hotkeys: - new window - next window - close window - fat fingering one of the above and opening some eldritch meta view that you have no idea how to get out of why isn't escape working what happened to my terminal i miss my pets
thought that was an "18+" on the side and was like "damn, raunchy brezhnev? sign me up"
admittedly, i felt less safe in that respect in a wealthy maryland suburb, so that's more just an america thing
as a white person i often feel unsafe walking around my largely nonwhite part of oakland ...our pedestrian infrastructure is _awful_ and we don't get nearly as many traffic calming upgrades as the whiter parts of town
does it matter which is likeliest when they're all at 100% likely
Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird. (he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...
~~HORSE GIRL~~ (New sticker design coming soon)
maybe there's a use case for frontline support proposing PRs directly for smaller fixes, to get them over the hurdle of "i can't code, i could never" on the other hand, many of them could never be taught how to provide good natural language fix requests in tickets, sooooooo
could it succeed with a more pointed "existing state is , it needs to be , ensure
naturally, the codebases have fuckall tests and are written such that adding tests is hard, so you cant let the LLM try and check how hard it did or didnt fuck up we dont even really have the luxury of staff who know what the code does and why, so you cant tell if it fucked up at a glance either
i kinda wonder if it could be asked "please make this code less shit" against one of our many "touch one thing and everything breaks without the compiler realizing" codebases... but i strongly suspect not
you're not going to defeat the 0.01% (realistically, less) that's connecting over tor on a anonymized phone by saving a selfie if your model attacker is sophisticated enough to do the above, they're sophisticated enough to substitue a photo of someone else
99.99% of your userbase is gonna be using a device and internet connection trivially traced back to them and available to LE with a warrant
a nebulous "compliance with law enforcement requirements" without mentioning specific regulation sounds like either "a product manager made up a rule" or maybe "there's no actual legal requirement, but law enforcement asked nicely and we didn't push back"
lack of sattou is the worst part of bsky
a lot of those were probably already generated with simpler models, they're certainly using LLMs now, and at best they were plagiarizing stackoverflow/MDN/digitalocean community docs to begin with
there's an "it's complicated" aspect re the search engines being largely responsible for the shape of the modern web, but idk how much sleep im going to lose over the little content mill guy losing out on their chunk of ad revenue--google evil, sure, but content farm #3003 not exactly good
the engines spitting out "it's -o you lazy git" to my "what's the curl file output flag" in one sentence is better than five paragraphs of "what is curl? what is the history of curl? i come from a long line of curl users, once my grandma..." crap that maybe has "yeah it's -o" buried within
on one hand, yeah, bad, if not much worse than the existing "display wiki article snippet" box on the other hand, 90% of my results for the past few years have been garbo 10-section SEO content mill monstrosities, and i won't really lament their loss
An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed
what on earth is "too late" they cant outlaw new yaoi can they?

also happy to report that the tribute album has now grown old enough to become afflicted with the "wait who the fuck owns this?" disease endemic to russian music entries in commercial databases, and youtube music believes the entire album is by Обе Две
today in unintentional 2010s music deep cut finds, there's a performance of the NRKTK карнавала.нет remix with lagutenko singing the lyrics, neat
wondering about the day to day of the patent examiner charged with staring at hundreds of skorts to determine whether this particular skort is sufficiently unique
the heck even are these patents, theres three, THREE skort patents and they all look like hot nonsense patents.google.com/patent/USD10... its just ~10 pics of a pretty generic skort and then 2 pages of links to random other skorts. how is this useful to anyone
thinking about the tiny rack gachapons again
