New from 404 Media: police have unwittingly unmasked millions of their surveillance targets because of a Flock redaction error. Police didn't redact specific license plates in public record releases.

You know when you wake up in the middle of the night with an idea for your writing and you think it's the best idea you ever had?

I had an idea to call social media "Systems of Mass Distortion" and I was sure I'd win a Pulitzer. Lmao

There are two "r"s in the word "strawberry." sources: Google for Developers forum.literatureandlatte.com Count of 'R's in "Strawberry" The word "strawberry" contains two occurrences of the letter 'r'. Explanation of AI Miscounts Many AI models, including advanced ones, often incorrectly state that there are two 'r's in "strawberry." This happens because: Tokenization Process AI models break down words into tokens, which can be letters, syllables, or whole words. In the case of "strawberry," the model may not accurately recognize the individual letters due to how it processes text. Common AI Errors When asked how many 'r's are in "strawberry," some models may misinterpret the question or the structure of the word. If the word is presented with spaces between each letter, the models can count correctly. Conclusion In summary, while the correct count of 'r's in "strawberry" is two, AI models can struggle with this simple task due to their underlying processing methods.

Praxis is not comparing text synthesizers to an intern, actually.

When an intern doesn't know how to do something, they will learn in the attempt. They will grow in their abilities, and become greater than before.

Literally zero of the words I just used can even be applied to the text synthesizer. Except maybe "attempt". The comparison is inherently dehumanizing. Please find another way to say "it sucks, but less than I assume you assumed"

Went to an aquarium supply store last night and was delighted to see the staff in N95 masks and all customers still required to wear masks also. I wish I saw more places still doing this. The sign behind the till particularly got me 😂

“COVID-19 SURCHARGES
$50 If we have to explain about masks
$100 If we have to hear why you disagree”

Anyway if you need any fish-related supplies, go support Aquarium Central. 🫧🐠🐟🐠🐟

#YEG #CovidIsNotOver

A printed paper sign taped to the front door of the shop. Black text reads: AQUARIUM CENTRAL MASK REQUIRED Exemption: Small Children Under 36" tall FREE MASKS INSIDE ON ENTRANCE RIGHT WALL Thanks for your respect Our motto: Keeping fish diseases and mean anti-maskers out since 2020
One of several printed signs on a cork board behind the cash register; the others are fish-related information or diagrams, but this one reads: MASKS REQUIRED "What about my rights" Our private property, our rights first "Masks don't work" Wear an N95 respirator "It's the cold/flu" Heard of long COVID? Guess not "I have a Medical Excuse" You shouldn't be out during COVID "I've already had COVID" Doesn't stop transmission COVID-19 SURCHARGES $50 If we have to explain about masks $100 If we have to hear why you disagree

Hello there #PortfolioDay !

I'm a digital artist from Spain. I transform my daydreams into colourful, surreal illustrations.
I love drawing sci-fi, fantasy and horror related things👀✨
{100% Human Art}

✨All my links: https://ashenwave.carrd.co/

Illustration representing my version of Leo, of the Zodiac signs. A man with curly hair embracing a lion. Both have the same kind of glowing tattoos all over their bodies.
Burnout. Illustration of a winged creature of humanoid shape with a flaming head. They're crying as they crouch, using a hand to draw with ashes on the ground. Their wings are extended behind them surrounded by disembodied open eyes.
Illustration of a statue in the form of a kneeling knight, with a glowing sword piercing their chest. The stone in their face is broken, and their eyes glow with the magic from the sword. In the background a twisting tree moves with the wind.
An illustration of a woman floating in the fields, surrounded by colorful clouds, her long hair moving with the wind. The moon pokes from behind the clouds, in the night sky.

I’ve begun this drawing a couple days ago and finished rendering today I suppose. I want to get into working from imagination and get better at works that aren’t just one time sketches. Well, it’s a drawing. In pencil :)

#drawing #art #illustration #floating #pencildrawing #pencil #kunst #mastoart #fediart

Drawing of a woman in a dress kind of floating above a black surface, holding up a hovering piece of black rock. There are clouds and a big white circle in the background. 14x21 cm pencil on paper.

"The hungry ghost in a jar sometimes writes my stupidly convoluted regex queries" still sounds quite insane, but -- crucially -- a qualitatively different kind of insane to "I asked the hungry ghost in a jar if my essay was any good".
