Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖
If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you
Tumblr is basically the flooded wwi shellhole we all come to huddle in. No one likes it but its better than standing in view of the snipers (twitter). Every once and a while someone gets a package from home and we all get a chunk of stale and slightly muddy sponge cake to nibble on.
“Hey, hey, hey, she has a truck full of bees,” one deputy can be heard telling another, who responded, “What?”
The sheriff’s deputies were at a $1.9 million mansion in suburban Longmeadow, Massachusetts, in 2022, serving eviction papers.
Then an SUV with an attached trailer carrying wooden crates pulled into the driveway, according to a video posted by MassLive.
“Hey, hey, hey, she has a truck full of bees,” one deputy can be heard telling another, who responded, “What?”
The driver, Rebecca Woods, a beekeeper, had already gotten out and was lifting the lid off a stack of beehives. She said in a court affidavit that her intent was to let the bees forage on the “lovely flowering landscape,” while also protesting the eviction.
But in the tussle over the remaining crates, some toppled, releasing hundreds more bees, which stung the deputies and other sheriff’s staff members multiple times, including one who suffered stings to the face and head, and another who was hospitalized.
Woods, who did not live at the home, was convicted by a jury in district court in Springfield, Massachusetts, this month of using the bees as a weapon against the deputies.
She was sentenced to six months in county jail.
Woods, 59, has been the subject of several evictions herself, her lawyer, Mary Saldarelli, said. Woods advocates on behalf of people harmed by predatory lending, loan schemes that let lenders charge borrowers sky-high interest rates.
Woods said in her affidavit that she was trying to save her friend’s home because he was almost 80 and was undergoing cancer treatment.
While Woods was at the house, trying to delay the eviction, the owner had gone to the public library to use a computer to file an emergency stay of the order.
Amid the confusion of the confrontation, Woods donned a beekeeper suit, according to the video. While she was trying to move more beehives toward the home, two sheriff’s deputies tackled her, forcing her to the ground to arrest her, as bees swarmed the front yard.
When she was told that some deputies were allergic to bees, the sheriff’s office said that Woods responded: “Oh, you’re allergic? Good.”
Jurors acquitted Woods of the seven felonies that she had been charged with and instead found her guilty of four misdemeanor counts of assault and battery and two counts of reckless assault.
Probably this is why I've never been asked to serve on a jury but I would've sentenced her to a $50 gift certificate from The Cheesecake Factory.
my friend and i were waiting for the bus and some guy walked up to us, pointed sort of halfheartedly, and said "dykes." in a monotone voice with no particular identifiable facial expression then walked away. most half-assed hate speech i've ever been subject to
thinking about that illustration of solitude vs loneliness in which solitude is a dog peacefully holding its own leash & loneliness is a feral dog fighting against the restraint of the leash & feeling slightly insane
i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point
What impresses me most is the attention to design. There's formatting and layout involved.
Did this bouncer like, bring this person home, put them to bed, start the laundry, and then sit down to make a little Drunk Guest zine? Does he do this regularly so he had a template ready? Is that cool or a little weird? Was he attracted to his guest and hoping to make a great first impression? Was he just super anxious that they weren't waking up before he'd have to leave for presumably his day job, so he poured it all into this little gem the following morning? Is his day job in typesetting?
It manages to inspire even more questions than it answers, which is quite the feat.
🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up.
Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math.
Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.
And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth.
Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do.
The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing.
So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up.
OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product.
This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent.
Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?
