Really enjoying continuing to not use AI for anything
it's super crazy that yao proved polynomial-time unpredictability implies it satisfies all the statistical randomness tests too?????
random access to the random stream??????? you can do that?????

As word of Carney's capitulations to Trump leak, remember:
• 56% of Canadians want the federal government to make no more concessions
• 74% support a special tax on electricity sold to the US
• 70% support taxing oil and natural gas exports to the US
• 70% support restricting US companies from bidding on Canadian gov't contracts
• 64% support a ban on the sale of all US liquor in Canada
• 63% support taxing potash exports to the US
• 60% oppose reducing our dairy supply management
Also: a plurality of Canadians (47%) say if a new trade deal is reached, a federal election should follow.

@Alice maybe he has multiple personalities?
WTF YOU CAN USE DISCRETE LOG FOR RANDOMNESS TOO LMAO https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/1982/28538.html

I have been stuck on this puzzle since yesterday, it is not intuitive for me, and my note-taking gets too mixed up when I try to be systemic about it
AND this version of these kinds of games doesn't have a built-in hint

Idfk WHAT I did differently but tried it one more time before going to bed and got it?????
I should've had a recorder ready or something lol
@willowbl00 "Ever feel as if your mind had started to erode? The two hemispheres are fundamentally at odds."
@_the_cloud WHAT WAS HAPPENING
This move by USPS signals two things:
1. Trump firmly expects the Roberts Court to use the shadow docket to let him do as he pleases re mailed ballots.
2. Even if the Roberts Court doesn’t greenlight his plans, he’s prepared to entirely flout the judiciary to disrupt the election. 2/
This will be his undoing and ultimate trial for treason.
From an information-theoretic point of view, the amount of randomness, the entropy that can be generated, is equal to the entropy provided by the system.

Yeah, blame Parker. Fuck that guy.
Say goodbye to Linked Data Signatures
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/08/mastodon-4.7/
We now support verifying FEP-8b32 Object Integrity Proofs using either eddsa-jcs-2022 or mldsa44-jcs-2024.
The latest version of Mastodon can verify FEP-8b32 integrity proofs, which replace outdated Linked Data Signatures.
@silverpill@mitra.social that's really great to hear, even if I am not there yet with NodeBB 
Nice work @mastodonengineering@mastodon.social

The Promises We Make
....
We promised you both, so many things. Walking in the park, hiking in the hills. Strolls along the beach. And scritches. Lots and lots of scritches.
Were you so sorry, when we fell short? Visiting dog parks, and sometimes the vet. Patrolling the yard. And car rides. Many, many car rides.
There were good times though, fun surprises. Sleeping on the bed, treats at coffee shops. Rabbits in the yard. And the toys. Lots and lots of squeakers.
But as you're aging, do you miss it? We could've done more, given you more time? Gone on adventures. And scritches. Did you expect much, much more?
But maybe it's true, you needed less. You just wanted love, there at the shelter. Just people who cared. And got them. The promises were for us.

...meanwhile in Bendigo, we* are celebrating cars taking over a pedestrian space for the first time in 44 years. Face, meet Palm.
*we as in a bunch of fucking idiots in this town, ignoring every shred of actual evidence around economies of cities and car access, instead calling on the Power Of RegionThink because science and evidence are for [old fashioned gay slur, plural] from the big smoke.
@adamsteer @bencourtice same thing appended in ballarat’s bridge street mall 😩
@liaizon@social.wake.st @tom@tomkahe.com oh that's really weird!
I see the avatar didn't load now. Usually it's due to missing or restrictive CORS headers. NodeBB doesn't cache the image and a camo proxy isn't set up on this machine (although one should be I suppose.)

Enabling every eligible voter, getting the word about hand delivering absentee ballots and early voting, and anything else we can to do promote massive turnout is vitally serious work.

thanks for the keyboard tips all, I think the keycap is just broken. 😞 (There is another key that is exactly the same size and the keycap fits onto the Tab switch fine without any stabilizer or anything.) I'll see if replacement keys aren't too expensive. ⌨️
