I am Rania from Gaza. A strong storm is approaching, and we have no safe shelter… our tent can no longer withstand the rain and cold, and my children are shivering from fear and freezing weather. The situation is extremely urgent, and I desperately need your help before the storm gets worse. Any donation—even a small one—can save us from a harsh night and give us a bit of safety. Please, don’t leave us alone in this cold 💔
The image depicts a low-angle view of a landscape under a dark sky. The lower portion of the image shows the silhouettes of buildings and structures, likely rooftops, with angular, irregular shapes. A warm, orange glow is visible on the horizon, partially obscured by the dark, cloudy sky above. The sky transitions from a muted orange near the horizon to a deep, dark gray and black further up. The overall impression is one of twilight or dusk with a dramatic contrast between the dark sky and the warm light on the horizon.

Astonishia Story—the legendary 1994 DOS classic that helped define Korean RPGs—is getting a full remake. It looks stunning, a true revival of one of Korea’s all-time great games, and it’s set to release on December 18.
But there’s one big catch: it’s not coming to Steam.
In fact, you can’t buy it outside South Korea at all. The only way to get it is through the Korean PURPLE store or as a physical copy from a local retailer.
I’ll be in South Korea this March… might just have to hunt down a copy myself.

Corporations and countries are legally a kind of person, with some of the rights and obligations of people. But are vastly more powerful.

This is dangerous fraud. #corporations #politics #capitalism #nationalism

“When autocracy takes hold in a country, everything goes on as before—police go on policing, landlords go on collecting rent, people go on showing up to work.

When autocracy takes hold in a country, everything goes on as before—police go on policing, landlords go on collecting rent, people go on showing up to work. The transition takes place so smoothly because all the elements necessary to fascism were present under democracy.
People imagine fascism as the opposite of democratic governance. In fact, it employs the same police, courts, property rights, patriotic mythology, and habits of obedience as state democracy. Wherever there is a powerful state with a monopoly on violence, fascism is only an election away.
This is why resistance to authoritarianism must take place at all times, not simply when an army is invading under swastika flags. We must never conflate the smooth functioning of the state with freedom itself. Assuming that the "rule of law" is identical with self-determination gives aspiring despots a free hand.

pro tip for student pilots: it really impresses PPL examiners when you request a radio check from the tower on both com radios before you leave.
I did this and my examiner made a note of it.
I later managed to fly out of range of the tower due to nervousness before switching to the next controller and had to relay my sign off through some other plane, which kinda cost me some points but hey.

The Giant Warrior Pirates finally reunite with Luffy! Who remembers them! Which feels weirdly out of character, as he doesn't remember anyone, but then again, most people Luffy meets aren't 70 feet tall. And then he goes full Dodgers to try to strike Saturn out, which isn't really a Looney Tunes/Western cartoon trope. I think Oda just really likes baseball.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — More than a week after Hondurans voted to elect a new president, results continue to trickle in as complaints grow about the slow process and allegations of irregularities by the three top candidates.
The election to pick a new president and Congress was held on Nov. 30 and as of Monday, 88% of the ballots have been counted.
The two leading candidates are Nasry Asfura, of the conservative National Party, who has 40.21% of the votes and Salvador Nasralla, of the also conservative Liberal Party, who has 39.49%.
Rixi Moncada, who ran for the ruling social democrat LIBRE, or Liberty and Re-foundation party, is in third place with 19.28% of the votes.
It stands to reason that if you have access to an LLM’s training data, you can influence what’s coming out the other end of the inscrutable AI’s network. The obvious guess is that you’d need some percentage of the overall input, though exactly how much that was — 2%, 1%, or less — was an active research question. New research by Anthropic, the UK AI Security Institute, and the Alan Turing Institute shows it is actually a lot easier to poison the well than that.
We’re talking parts-per-million of poison for large models, because the researchers found that with just 250 carefully-crafted poison pills, they could compromise the output of any size LLM. Now, when we say poison the model, we’re not talking about a total hijacking, at least in this study. The specific backdoor under investigation was getting the model to produce total gibberish.
The gibberish here is triggered by a specific phrase, seeded into the poisoned training documents. One might imagine an attacker could use this as a crude form of censorship, or a form of Denial of Service Attack — say the poisoned phrase is a web address, then any queries related to that address would output gibberish. In the tests, they specifically used the word “sudo”, rendering the models (which ranged from 600 million to 13 billion parameters) rather useless for POSIX users. (Unless you use “doas” under *BSD, but if you’re on BSD you probably don’t need to ask an LLM for help on the command line.)
Our question is: Is it easier to force gibberish or lies? A denial-of-service gibberish attack is one thing, but if a malicious actor could slip such a relatively small number of documents into the training data to trick users into executing unsafe code, that’s something entirely worse. We’ve seen discussion of data poisoning before, and that study showed it took a shockingly small amount of misinformation in the training data to ruin a medical model.
Once again, the old rule rears its ugly head: “trust, but verify”. If you’re getting help from the internet, be it random humans or randomized neural-network outputs, it’s on you to make sure that the advice you’re getting is sane. Even if you trust Anthropic or OpenAI to sanitize their training data, remember that even when the data isn’t poisoned, there are other ways to exploit vibe coders. Perhaps this is what happened with the whole “seahorse emoji” fiasco.
Zelenskyy can meet with whomever he wants and demand whatever he wants, but the bottom line is that it's the Russian army, not the Ukrainian one, that's advancing.
Dysfunktionale Alt-Eliten gegen die Demokratie tichyseinblick.de/meinungen/dy… Bis vor kurzem glaubte man, dass Diktaturen in diesen Breiten aus der Mode gekommen seien. Erstaunlicherweise begegnet man immer mehr Liebhabern der Diktatur in Neu-Versailles. Zumindest sind sie in der Pandemie-Diktatur auf den Geschmack staatsautoritärer Maßnahmen gekommen. Die Freiheit stirbt phrasenweise und von Gesetz zu Gesetz, unbemerkt vom Bürger,

Apparently aussie.zone is asking users to DM evidence of being over 16, and the implication is that of those who don't - he'll ban/delete their accounts.
But absurdly enough, 4chan is exempt from this because all activity on there is anonymous. Not through accounts. So if the Fediverse had anonymous, non-account posting on-top of regular account-based posting then people could post anonymously happily, but anyone with an account would have to verify.
I’d say their attempt is actually better than what the government came up with. I also thought the idea of chatting with a bot that guesses your age was pretty funny.
But absurdly enough, 4chan is exempt from this because all activity on there is anonymous.
Don't think that's it, it has no footprint in Australia. Meta, &Google, X etal all do, same as piefed.social, lemmy.world etal have no Australian base. aussie.socal users can just move to another server. I'm an Aussie.
Similarly UK has tried to get 4chan, kiwifarms etc but they have no UK footprint so they just ignore them.

The social media ban works through DNS, just change your DNS to either 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 in your router settings and browser setting. I've had no problems so far, but if that doesn't work you can always use TOR or another VPN service.
IIRC moving the instance won't be helpful - the issue is the servicing of minors, not where the service is. And while the server being in a different country might be a bit of a roadblock for legalities, the general consensus is, like with GDPR - if you make your service available in Australia you must comply with Australian laws, therefore need to make your instance unavailable to children.
National level site blocking, suspension on any future operations, international courts... Corporations are much easier to persecute over borders than private persons.
Why do you think American companies, even ones with no legal presence in Europe, still went along with GDPR? Same principle applies here.
