It does mean something.

The skibidi toilet "creatures" are considered the antagonists, and the word is associated with their traits.

• creepy
• gross
• scary
• weird

Its an insult to and pretty much interchangeably with "creepy" with a splash of "cringe"

Often paired with "ohio" which means "bland" / " boring" / "mid"

Example:

"Yo he got that skibidi Ohio rizz"

Translation:

"This dude has zero game, in fact he is creepy and weird and has negative charisma, people find him repulsive and boring"

Nowadays it's less of an issue with docker and whatnot.

Just set the image to refresh every night at midnight and if they tried to make manual changes it'll just revert back to its original state at midnight.

Customers don't really get direct access to deployed code now, it's buried under like 4 layers of abstraction on most CDNs now.

Simply deploying to azure already smears multiple layers of access control and RBAC overtop that it's hard enough for me, the dev, to answer the question if "what is actually deployed atm?", let alone for the customer to get in their and meddle.

Simple: the earth produces a fuck tonne less food for like half the year, requiring some kind of strategy to handle the fact you have lots of food half the time and like no food the other half.

We took the "stash it in a special spot" approach.

But how do we stop other us's from stealing our stashes?

Strength in numbers, ape strong together. We form villages.

As we grow, we need leadership, mechanisms to keep track of each other, protect each other, and rules with how to fairly treat bad actors.

Laws, democracy, judicial systems come into play.

Oh shit, other village has cool shit. They want our cool shit. Trade? Trade! Commerce comes into play.

How do we keep track of people that are reliable to trade with and can be trusted across Trade networks?

Credit. Village A vouches on behalf of Trader, they have Credability, you can trust them.

Many villages create a unified system to describe this trust in a metric...

Thus: credit score.

In other words you have a credit score because of the way the earth makes food (that is to say, about half the time)

I 100% can see it easily selling for that much.

You want to know why it's worth that much?

Petabytes of raw training Data for LLMs. Arguably atm reddit us one of the better gold mines of LLM training data on the internet, bazillion of posts already formatted as post-response chains, which is the exact type if format an LLM wants to train on.

Can you imagine how valuable those servers loaded with posts are to a company like OpenAI, Google, or Microsoft?

5 billion is quite reasonable to harvest every reddit post that has ever been made ever and cut it off from your competitors.

Do people seriously still think this is a thing?

Literally anyone can run the basic numbers on the bandwidth that would be involved, you have 2 options:

1. They stream the audio out to their own servers which process is there. The bandwidth involved would be INSTANTLY obvious, as streaming audio out is non-trivial and anyone can pop open their phone to monitor their network usage. You'd hit your data limit in 1-2 days right away

2. They have the app always on and listening for "wakewords", which then trigger the recording and only then does it stream audio out. WakewordS plural is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here. Just 1 single wakeword takes a tremendous amount of training and money, and if they wanted the countless amount of them that would be required for what people are claiming? We're talking a LOT of money. But thats not all, running that sort of program is extremely resource intensive and, once again, you can monitor your phones resource usage, you'd see the app at the top burning through your battery like no tomorrow. Android and iPhone both have notifications to inform you if a specific app is using a lot of battery power and will show you this sort of indicator. You'd once again instantly notice such an app running.

I think a big part of this misunderstanding comes from the fact that Alexa/Google devices seem so small and trivial for their wakewords.

What people dont know though is Alexa / Google Home have an entire dedicated board with its own dedicated processor JUST for detecting their ONE wake word, and not only that they explicitly chose a phrase that is easy to listen for

"Okay Google" and "Hey Alexa" have a non-trivial amount of engineering baked into making sure they are distinct and less likely to get mistaken for other words, and even despite that they have false positives constantly.

If thats the amount of resources involved for just one wake word/phrase, you have to understand that targeted marking would require hundreds times that, its not viable for your phone to do it 24/7 without also doubling as a hand warmer in your pocket all day long.

If your scrum is an hour long, you arent doing it right. They should be 10-12 minutes tops.

1. Fancy brioche buns, not normal burger buns. Brioche is typically the most expensive bread off the shelf.
2. Fancy veggie burgers, of course they are expensive lol, that's fancy vegan stuff
3. Don't pretend that is a Danish singular. That's a huge fuckin Danish, that's the equivalent of 4 Danishes easily lol

I hate when people buy fancy bespoke food and are like "why do my gluten free vegan free range burgers cost so much?"

If you want to be vegetarian/vegan, go buy normal vegis, don't complain about your super fancy "takes a bunch of extra work and has very low demand" food being expensive.

It's hard to justify using anything other than JS or if you wanna be fancy, Web Assbly, for the FE.

Any other front end language involves generating Javascript from your language, which inevitably ends up with you making a weird Frankenstein project that mixes the two.

I'd rather just use stuff like Webpack or Vite to compile my JS front-end out of JS (or TS) from the start. It always ends up being a cleaner result.

My backend though can be whatever the fuck I want it to be.

But if you ever think dynamically compiling/transpiling a JS front end on the fly on demand is a good idea, instead of simply just delivering static pre-compiled/transpiled pages, you're part of the problem for why the web is so slow and bloated.

It's wild how crazy of projects people will build that take 3 entire seconds to just deliver a 500kb static form that doesn't even need angular to do anything. They turn a couple hundred kb into several mb for no useful reason, it's wild.

The telegram has only 2 posts by the creator, conveniently only an hour or two before the picture was posted onto Twitter.

The telegram picture is also conveniently a picture of the exact same piece of paper featured in the twitter post...

Whats the odds that someone made the Telegram account with a picture of the paper on what looks to be a table, then took it outside, hung it up, and in under an hour or two it already was posted up onto twitter and being reported by, coincidently?

Moreover, why was the telegram created first, and yet also has zero members? Who does that and when does that happen? Typically such groups would already have a circle of individuals participating and the telegram would be created for them to chat easier, so the telegram would have users added asap.

But instead the telegram was made, zero members ever added, the photo uploaded asap of the already printed off paper, then only an hour or two later this twitter account happened to see it so fast and snap a pic, and didnt even bother to edit out the URLs, and uploaded it to twitter?

Would have been more believable if they had edited out the URLs, but nope, leaving them up like that is something someone trying to make it look legit would do.

It took me literally like, 30 seconds to just look that telegram up and see what was going on, and yeah lo and behold it looks fake as fuck.

The deluge of people believing this shit at face value and not even checking out how legit it looks is concerning. Like come on, it wasn't that hard to check.

It's effectively a case of "I left my house unlocked and unarmed while I went on vacation. No one broke in, so I don't see the point in door locks and alarm systems."

Twitter got very VERY lucky that the worst that happened was some outages.

They moved hyper sensitive user data in a moving truck. If anything had gone wrong they would've exposed millions of peoples sensitive data.

You are supposed to wipe the servers before you move them, you shouldn't be driving servers around on the highway while they are still chock full of peoples credit card info and shit.

Wasnt Smash Mouth also one of those vehemently anti-vaxxer bands that played at that motorcycle rally and was refusing covid mandates during lockdowns and shit?

Despite the memes using his music a lot, from what I understand the band has been pretty shitty for a long time.

right through when fauci himself was advocating against public mask wearing

It was specifically advocating against people who were stockpiling/hoarding disposable masks, which were in limited supply and needed far more by first responders, doctors, nurses, etc. Hospitals at that time literally were running out of masks.

The CDC recommendation at the time was to use reusable cloth masks, which werent/arent as good most of the time, but way way better than nothing at all.

It was a temporary recommendation as the economy was pivoting to bump up supply to compensate. The US proceeded to enlist a bunch of fabric companies to start producing more masks as fast as possible to compensate, so there was about a 2~3 week period where the public needed to prioritize.

It's unfortunate a lot of people have taken to misquoting this time period as "Dr Fauci said using masks was bad" or such, which is deeply misrepresenting the state of things.
