@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org For bats, for anyone wondering, "contact with bat" means "unless you watched the bat every minute from when it entered the space you are in until it was secured and removed, you assume you got bit and need treatment."
Many bats can bite a person without them noticing, especially if the person is asleep. If there is ANY doubt, get treated immediately.
When the OCR has an existential crisis, takes a breath, then recovers.

@SwiftOnSecurity@infosec.exchange 6) Browse Mastodon, which is 14.5% world-renowned infosec experts being horny on main and 32.7% deep, thoughtful analysis you cannot find anywhere else.
I have replaced all the words in my academic paper with identical words, and you should too.
In my Theseus, I will...

@b3lt3r@mastodon.b3lt3r.com @nixCraft@mastodon.social It's an old index with a word association fixation. Spicy autocorrect. That's it.

@Danpiker@mathstodon.xyz TIL (from someone who said "this doesn't really work") - this doesn't work if your phone has a blue-light-blocking filter on it!

@internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org @fight@mastodon.fightforthefuture.org I signed, and I support, but I am incredibly irritated that doing so opted me into a mailing list I don't want just because I missed a check box buried at the end. C'mon. Do better.
Replying to
@evacide@hachyderm.io At least the fix is simple: they're going to add this to the config:
"Please, please, pretty please do not change the email on any accounts that it shouldn't be changed on, like if they're famous or Mark or something, please! I'm begging you!"

@adamshostack@infosec.exchange It's not an information retrieval machine. It's a sentence generator that has an extremely poor record of matching facts and wastes tremendous resources while stealing from artists, writers, and academics. It does not cannot, and will never retrieve information (yes, even with RAG, which is an overfit model masquerading as an index). Maybe look something up in an authoritative source instead?

@knizer@toot.boston Use the heat wave as a convenient excuse to go to Water Wizz in Wareham - famous for its appearance in Grown-Ups! (The dye isn't real. At least I don't think it is.)

@tsyum@thepit.social I think GAN (generative adversarial network) might be broad enough. They (very oversimplified) generate noise and then refine it into something that trips a computer vision model so they "know" they've generated an image. They can be combined with LLMs to work with narrative text.

Replying to
@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange You might want to reconsider reposting this... It's factually wrong and at least partly AI generated. I suspect it's copypasta from one of the misinformation groups that tries to create conflict where there really isn't any. Seems to have originated on Facebook where such stuff is rife.

@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work @polyproto@fed.amazonawaws.com I wonder if @zulip@fosstodon.org would look at such an integration...

@JoBlakely@mastodon.social I usually check to see if they're tracking links or just an encoded URL before using. I avoid trackers - especially big corporate trackers - like the plague. I also develop a rash whenever someone sends me an email with a QR code in it. Yeesh.

@bachimusprime@estradiol.city @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange It would be lower if there was one. They just had to stop somewhere so they could have a scale smaller than 50.
No, professor, I didn't watch the film, but I did read almost all the #monsterdon posts the last time they watched it!
