Part way through my journey on the Australind train. It's quite comfortable with firm seats that aren't too firm. The seats have USB-C power outlets, reading lights and folding tray tables.

The ride is smooth and acceleration feels quick. Leg room is decent, but I'm in a bulkhead row at the end of the car, and there's nowhere to put my toes

There are overhead lockers above the seats and luggage storage at the end of each car, as well as a few bike racks. One toilet per car, which are clean and functional.

There's a small shop in the middle car, with a good range of snacks and drinks. As with many trains, the queuing is problematic, as the space is too narrow and blocks the corridor between cars.

The air conditioning is very effective, a little too effective for a winter's day. I'm a little chilly.

The windows are well placed and a good size, giving good viewing, but the curtains are annoying, as you can't push them fully out of the way, and there's nothing to secure them, so they slowly creep across the window.

All in all, a pleasant train to travel on for a medium distance journey.

@burnoutqueen please elaborate

OpenAI accidentally hacks Hugging Face. But it's more wild than that https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-model-evaluation-security-incident/

OpenAI was running an exploit test system in a sandbox. Their model determined that probably Hugging Face had model information that would be useful to complete the task, so it broke out of its sandbox, developed an exploit, broke into Hugging Face to go rooting around for information

let's set aside for a moment the obvious corporate financial motivation for monopolistic control that justifies these, because i want to discuss their technical characteristics in order to ground my proposed alternatives. but it's very important to recall that underlying the following discussion are political incentives for the status quo which are very public (e.g. described in investor calls) and largely uncontroversial to state as a given.

@jpm @Unixbigot Giant Trebuchet Solutions has an optional flaming barrel add-on.

If the independent, non-slop web has any future at all, then now must be the time for every firefox fork to commit to working together to maintain a hardfork isolated from Mozilla.

It's a project that is too large to be handled by any small project alone (and maybe even all of them combined), but one that is too important to left under the guidance of an organization like Mozilla.

Without such bold co-operation I fear we have already lost.

@GeePawHill Personally, I would like to ask the CIS het man not to comment on my boobs. This is very uncomfortable.

@ramsey @DanielMReck @MaryAustinBooks Without knowing when the spelling of "weird" was determined, I couldn't say, but that's the question most of the time: what did it sound like when scribes wrote it down?
