Microslop's CEO is on a roll!
Few weeks ago he begged us to stop using "slop" because it makes AIs sad. Days ago he complained "AI boom might falter" if we don't start using more spicy autocomplete. 
Now he's begging developers to "do something useful" with lying machines, or they might lose the "social permission" to boil the planet.

What, is Microslop's Slopilot services not useful enough on their own?

Hey Washington, there's a profoundly bad law making its way through the state level.
This law, will require ALL 3d printers to send copies of the files you print directly to the government to be check against a database of "banned shapes".
Literally turning your 3d printer into spyware. And if you don't voluntarily turn your printer into a spy, you will be a class C Felon.
This law affects ALL CNC machines, not just 3dps.

This bill is obviously technically problematic, but it does NOT require that 3D printers send a copy of every file you print to the government. It requires that detection software that filters and refuses to print certain gun parts be integrated into printers.
This is obviously technically difficult and problematic for any number of reasons, but it does not require the specific thing you claim it requires. Here's the actual text of the bill:

Microsoft reportedly gave the FBI BitLocker recovery keys to unlock encrypted laptops in a Guam fraud probe. 🔐
I’m genuinely stunned. 🤯 Encryption should protect users — not defer to cloud-stored keys that can be handed over on demand. ⚠️
This raises deep concerns about trust, what “secure by default” means. 🧩

Hoy he conseguido terminar la prueba de completud de los reales (si una secuencia es Cauchy en R, converge en R) y me ha costado un huevo y parte del otro.
No sé si habría sido más fácil con Dedekind cuts, pero el tema de la diagonalización de la secuencia límite no me acababa de entrar.

Someone submitted an article about #accessibility to Hacker News. That article is about #screenReaders.
Naturally, the third comment is written by a non-screen-reader user and says that the article written by a screen reader user about screen readers is completely wrong.
Would you believe that their "experience is the opposite"? They even have the numbers to prove how wrong the author is! Their solution works at 14,000 words per minute!

it's @countrymetalhead's fault, lol, this time he shared the following on facebook, and as he said at the start, the stupid abounds. yup, all the stupid is apparently in this post. Here's what he shared. Keep in mind...these are all TRUE...
Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.
I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter.
'You don't?' I replied.
'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.
'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'
'That's right.'
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(Unbelievable but sadly true...)
(must have been the same one I asked for sweetener and she said they didn't have any, only Splenda and sugar.)
2- I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed.
After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?'
I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.'
She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left.
She had no clue to what had just happened.
3- A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.'
(keep shuddering!!)
4- I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.
'Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?'
'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked.
'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk....'
PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!
5- Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper.
What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies… Brunette, by the way!!
6- A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells
her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......'
Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!'**
Life is tough.
It's even tougher if you're stupid!!!!
Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too. Don't laugh.....it is all true...
When she was very young, my daughter looked me straight in the eye, right out of the blue, and said to me with the utter earnestness only a 3-year-old can summon:
“Be brave! Be safe! Be purple!”
I’ve been hanging on to that advice a lot lately.
I am curious...
I know I have a lot of followers who are blind, but I'd like to see how many of you are out there that this post will reach!
Including some additional demographics for interest's sake.
Please respond and boost if you don't mind!
