From AI Forensics' investigation of Hugging Face's top image models:

- 73% of monitored requests were sexual in nature.
- Of those, 83% sought to undress or otherwise sexualize a person
- 95% targeted women
- 6.7% targeted a minor (if fulfilled, these requests would constitute CSAM).
- Only 3% of audited Spaces showed any evidence of output moderation.

I was corrected for saying “real name” when I meant “legal name.” So, a reminder:

Your LEGAL name is a name that identifies you for official purposes.

Your REAL name is the name by which a practitioner of the occult arts could conjure you in a summoning circle and bind you to complete a task.

*Finally* remembered to correct the author tag in my mp3 file of La Marseillaise. I've had it under Edit Piaf, which is apparently a common error! In fact it's a famous performance by Mireille Mathieu[1].

Note 1. Yes, my music collection is mp3 files. Streaming has no chance of working for me.

Note 2. The snap ecosystem on Ubuntu is irreparably broken and useless.

"All of these ideas deserve discussion. Unfortunately, as in many other areas of amateur radio, the current version of the ARRL lacks both the vision to and leadership necessary to move this forward. "

Alperin alleges he learned insider details about APC pricing as a member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association, including “outright unlawful conduct” and “conspiratorial discussions” among the publishers, the complaint states. This included strategies by the companies to shield the viability of free open access options to ensure U.S. grantee institutions continued paying unnecessary APCs, according to his complaint.

The early consumer Internet was really something. You’d dial in, do stuff, and log off. It was intentional and time-bound. I love the ubiquity and utility of the modern web, but I also miss the episodic nature of my early time online.

"Wheels are also now built with frame pointers enabled, per the PEP 831 change in Python 3.15. Frame pointers are a debugging feature for low-level languages like C, which allow debuggers to reconstruct the call stack of a program. Python has decided to enable frame pointers by default and encourage the ecosystem to do so as well, to make debugging easier for us all, so time-machine is joining the party."

Enabled by default for 3.15, do this for older versions:

A restroom sign showing a large left arrow above a tiny man¹ in a wheelchair², with a giant man¹ holding a baby³ at arm's length while running at the tiny disabled person, as a giant woman⁴ follows behind, holding her hand up like "excuse me, can I have my baby back?". ¹ presumably, since they're not wearing a dress. ² presumably, it could also be a beanbag. ³ presumably, because it looks like the wheelchair man, but with shorter legs and cherubic proportions. ⁴ presumably, since they're wearing a dress.
