Spain-based Korean Foodie Doobydobap does Coachella, which she describes as Christmas for influencers (fully acknowledging that she is one), rating the food and adding up the prices.

My further takes:
- how does she manage to not get a single stain on her white dress, eating all that food?
- inventive microphone handling, clipping it on the plates and food boxes
- give a foodie one piece of bad food and she won't forget it, even among all the other tasty things

YouTube video title auto-translations are getting more and more annoying.
They are by definition unnecessary: if I'm watching a video in English, why would I want its title translated from English?
And they are also very bad, a jumbled mess of random Dutch words which hides what the original title could have been.
The reason we know that Google knows how bad they are? The fact they provide no switch to turn them off.

Someone mentioned Million Dollar Secret on Netflix. It didn't seem my thing at all, but checking it out anyway it reminds me of a very old Belgian tv game show called De Mol (the mole). It may still exist, but isn't any good anymore, but the initial seasons I liked very much. It's from the time when there wasn't much television and everybody watched the same thing and discussed their theories next day at work or school.
Unlike this Netflix version, the mystery identity was also hidden to the viewer and was the same throughout the season. Due to the mechanics of that show the other contestants deployed the tactic to make themselves suspect as well, while now it's just about trying to avoid suspicion.
What remains, though, is that people are strange.

Just finished watching the final (fifth) season of You on Netflix. I think by now it is not a spoiler anymore that Amy-Leigh Hickman is back, as Nadia. She was totally amazing. She nails all the details of how Nadia would have been affected by what happened. I like it when someone reprises a role but doesn't just play it the same.
No Jenna Ortega as Ellie in this season, unless you count a glimpse of a small photo of her on a website in episode six... But then I still imagine that the broad strokes of the Nadia storyline are what was originally envisioned for Ellie.

Generative AI runs on gambling addiction — just one more prompt, bro!
You’ll have noticed how previously normal people start acting like addicts to their favourite generative AI and shouting at you like you’re trying to take their cocaine away. Matthias D…Pivot to AI

bookmarking this one! Love the cocaine analogy!
“Coincidentally, Natalie Ponte on LinkedIn posted today: try replacing “ai” with “cocaine” in all the posts you read about it. it’s pretty funny
Let’s try it!
“My cocaine skeptic friends are all nuts, they’ll be left behind.”
“Cocaine isn’t going to replace you. Someone using cocaine is going to replace you.” Checks out.
Cocaine doesn’t make you a business genius — it just makes you think you’re a business genius. Same for AI.”

Generative AI is like a restaurant with a sign like this:
"HI! And welcome! Please note that the restaurant does not take any responsibility if you get sick from eating here! Sometimes the food will look great and be fine. Sometimes it will look awful and you obviously won't want to eat it. Sometimes it will look great and taste great but make you horribly ill. It's your responsibility to run appropriate tests on the food before eating it and then deciding whether or not you want to eat it. Thanks for coming!"

Accurate!
Come to think of it, if milk was a recent discovery, it would be hilarious trying to sell it too!
"Yeah so we found that if we keep a whole bunch of mammals breeding all the time, we can steal the food they make for their babies. It's a little filthy so we must boil or pasteurise it or it'll definitely kill you. Also, buy quickly and consume ASAP or it'll go bad and make you sick. But most of the time it'll be fine and you'll love it."
So just don't go to that restaurant!? No one is forcing you.
Also, the sign is on the supermarket. And the other supermarket, which has the same parent company. And the only competitor supermarket, because the country has a duopoly. And where did all these food trucks come from? I don't ever eat from food trucks but they're blocking my street and they all have the sign.
Another one of Roxy Furman's gorgeous wildlife films just came out on YouTube, this time she's filming in Costa Rica.

In this video Jenna Ortega discusses past characters she played and her motivation behind them. Very interesting!
She also has a great interview with Harper's Bazaar US, which is a great read with great photos as well.
Another good side to photography YouTube: I already liked following the channel of Justine with her mix of photography and life in the Ontario snow, but the latest video with a small photography project is so cute. She recreates old photos of her father when he lived in London, while her travelling takes her to the same city.

Sneak peak of Wednesday season 2: spoiler, Jenna Ortega is still brilliant.

Having a little look at other reviews... I'm not a film buff at all and in no way more likely to understand esoteric cinema, but how can so many people not get it? I mean even her character's name could be considered a spoiler.
And how come so many people mention things in their review that is in the short blurb description, but not mentioned in the actual film? I guess they make these to catch these people out...
Jenna Ortega will also be back in season two of Wednesday on 6 August and 3 September.

'Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest and then I will murmur agreement, not actually say anything. I am not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard. But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought.'

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.
He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords
Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:
Source for everyone in cybersecurity to read through and experience the craziness themselves whistlebloweraid.org/wp-conten…
If the world survives, this will be a required reading in many #cybersecurity courses.

Votes for 16 year olds: the scientific argument
theneuroscienceofeverydaylife.…
A lot of the arguments against it basically boil down to "they do knife crime!"
But unless you believe nobody over 18 has ever done a crime, this claim falls apart when you think about it for even a second
Votes for 16 year olds: the scientific argument
The Prime Minister has confirmed plans to give the vote to 16 year olds, and the usual suspects are miffed. But they shouldn't be. Because scientifically, it makes more sense than it doesn'tDean Burnett (The Neuroscience of Everyday Life)

First, let's look for bugs:
-ChatGPT picked the wrong start address
-It forgot a parameter to a syscall
-It forgot to clean up the stack after a syscall
-It wrote 16-bit data to some 8-bit hardware registers
-It wrote to 2 registers that don't exist
-It wrote to a ROM address
-It clobbered system variables
-It overwrote its own code
-It stored a variable in a read-only section
Right off the bat, 9 bugs in 16 lines of code, probably 6 of which are crashing.

Now, let's read the comments it put in that code:
-Bogus claim about the TOS start address
-Wrong name for the syscall it used
-Confused between user and supervisor stack (2x)
-Got the meaning of hardware registers wrong (4x)
(3/n)

Finally, let's check for optimization issues, part 1:
-Stores a value that it never uses back.
-Uses CLR to clear a data register when MOVEQ is faster
-Uses long addressing for hardware registers addresses when short addressing is available
-Uses long addressing for low addresses (68k equivalent of the zeropage) when short addressing is available
-Loads an immediate zero into an address register when another register is already zero
(4/n)
Jean-Baptiste "JBQ" Quéru
in reply to Jean-Baptiste "JBQ" Quéru • • •Sensitive content
And more optimization issues:
-Uses CLR to clear RAM when MOVE is faster, especially in a code location where a register is guaranteed already to contain zero.
-Clears RAM with 16-bit instructions when 32-bit would have been faster and perfectly appropriate (I'm not necessarily expecting MOVEM here or loop unrolling, that's a bit more advanced).
(5/n)
Jean-Baptiste "JBQ" Quéru
in reply to Jean-Baptiste "JBQ" Quéru • • •Sensitive content
Final score:
16 lines of code (13 net instructions), 9 bugs, 8 inaccurate comments (when I count duplicates), 7 missed optimizations, i.e. 24 total problems.
We're talking about assembly here, which is not a language that is famous for being expressive. It's hard even to comprehend how it is possible to average almost 2 issues per instruction. That's a level of incompetence that's hard to fathom from a human, and that would certainly not pass any interview.
(6/6)
