p1anecrazy··on Reasons I didn't become an EMT, ranked
I probably misunderstood the context. Both checking life signs on, say, a headless body or imitating the check for the sake of bureaucracy sound equally terrible :(
p1anecrazy··on Treachery in the Rodin Museum 3D scan verdict
Nicely summarized by another commentator:

“FOI is for administrative documents to increase transparency in government. Detailed 3D scans a museum does for research or preservation isn't an administrative document.

If you want a 3d scan of these statues, there's a lot of them around in scannable places like parks etc. If you just want to win, you're wasting everyone's time for no good reason.”

To put it differently, imagine the museum trained a RodinGPT on artworks and other data. The activist now bases his claim to the model on the fact that the model is a document.

p1anecrazy··on Treachery in the Rodin Museum 3D scan verdict
Absolutely. An “activist” wasting time and money of museums (and probably taxpayers) worldwide due to a misleading interpretation of FOI.

> The classic example is division: in Python 2, 1 / 2 is 0; while in Python 3 it is 0.5.

Can someone kindly explain this?

edit: I misread it as “In Python 2 2.1/2 is 0, while in Python 3 it is 0.5”

Good riddance. A “work-life balance kind of person” is not a negative characteristic; even more so at a position where your behavior is an inspiration to many people

Can anyone in the know ELI5 how a defence against such an attack using AI would be organized? I’m struggling to understand what actions frontier models would perceive as offensive

Hi, this is very interesting, thanks. While trying to educate myself about honeypots I came across this (https://securehoney.net/).

The aggregations of popular logins and IP locations seem interesting.

p1anecrazy··on Sauna effect on heart rate
Appreciate it as a regular sauna-goer. I am also struggling to wake up after sauna evenings and maybe you research explains why
p1anecrazy··on Sauna effect on heart rate
Once in a while as I get sick I have to retrain myself to going to sauna (e.g. taking lowest level, even skipping the Aufguss, German infusion where temperature is raised gradually etc.)

Also IMO your body fat/water/lean muscle ratio may play a role. I once lost 5 kg due to Influenza A and all my sport achievements as well as sauna endurance were gone

p1anecrazy··on How Russia's new elite hit squad was compromised by Google Translate
Several years ago German media ran a story where they were able to connect Google search queries to members of parliament by buying big data. Examples included someone looking for data on “dementia treatment” etc. But that wasn’t real-time, as I understand.
p1anecrazy··on How Russia's new elite hit squad was compromised by Google Translate
So law enforcement was able to intercept/obtain logs of all the perpetrator’s Google Translate queries. How does that work? Assume he was not logged in. Did they just continuously obtain his IP when his device announced itself in a cell phone network and then monitored all the traffic and ordered Google to provide all the activity for that IP?

Edit: apparently his accomplice living in the U.S. was under FBI surveillance. “The use of Google Translate was not Durovic's only operational failure. He made two trips to Russia, in July and October 2024, attempting to disguise his destination by booking ostensible vacations to Turkey while continuing to Moscow on connecting flights under his real name. Each time he returned to the United States, he was questioned by FBI special agents who had access to his airline records. He flatly denied having visited Russia. The lies were transparent, and they compounded his legal exposure. The FBI, however, was content to wait — continuing to surveil him and read his virtual diary on Google Translate — before finally arresting him in March 2025.”

The report claims a single weapon of the kind was acquired in 2024 and tested on animals resulting in similar damage.
p1anecrazy··on 60 Minutes Havana Syndrome report finds U.S. government tested energy weapon
This summary differs from CBS content.

It does claim the US went to great lengths to dismiss the victims for a decade. In 2024 it obtained a single device, started testing it on animals and achieved similar effects as experienced by the victims. The victims were then invited to the White House.
