@newsguyusa Hrm. I can only think of two possible explanations:

1. Whichever company made the old steam catapults happened to make a big donation to the ballroom.

2. The electric catapults were introduced under Biden (or even worse, Obama).

@clemens sooner or later, this will happen to me with a Sun SPARCstation IPX ๐Ÿซฃ

@phoerious LOOOL such an enormously useful visualization (except maybe for finding that tiny bit of northeastern Russia that hasn't gotten a proper eclipse in 1000+ years ๐Ÿ˜…)

20260813-065558

P.S. If you missed the eclipse yesterday, NASA has some awesome maps to help you plan the next viewing opportunity: eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEatlas/

(Australia is really reaping it in, eclipse-wise, over the next 15 years ๐Ÿ˜ฎ)

Update: got some nice views after all ๐Ÿ‘ (smartphone camera picture through cardboard eclipse glasses is a bit wonky, obvs ๐Ÿ˜…)

It's less than two hours to the peak of the eclipse and now there's a bunch of clouds rolling in. I am offended. ๐Ÿ™„

@phoerious I've obviously been out of the loop for a while - didn't know about these yet, looks like they would at least be harder to remove than some UTF8 stuff. How much text is generally needed here for reasonable detection confidence?

20260812-135748

Did anyone already have a look at how Anthropic has implemented their "AI watermarks" in text output? I'm assuming it's some UTF-8 shenanigans with zero-width joiner characters or something?

@a_watch Nein! Doch. Oohh. ๐Ÿ˜‘

@matthias_aus_b @abulling nach dem, was ich so als Zaungast bei BMW seinerzeit mitbekommen habe, ist das vermutlich alles an die billigste Consulting-Klitsche outgesourced, die sie finden konnten, mit genau dem zu erwartenden Ergebnis ๐Ÿซฃ

@dervomsee @abulling Schau ich mir mal an, danke! ๐Ÿ‘Œ

@hannorein I do the same, although I do fill out the form every time and tell them I don't work for vultures (in slightly nicer terms).

@abulling Ah, das bestรคtigt leider meine Vermutung... ๐Ÿ™„ Ich bin gerade dabei, mich in Richtung E-Van umzusehen, und 90% vom Gebrauchtmarkt bestehen blรถderweise aus dem ID Buzz. Vielleicht lieber noch ein bisschen warten.

It's been quiet for a while on the crackpot CfP front, but here's a new one: "Hiding the New Dictators of Narco-Education behind UCD, STEM, Gender and AI Studies" ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿคช

Looks like the "Gardunia Factor" is old and busted, and "Narco-Education" is the new hotness? ๐Ÿค”

@Strandjunker I think they're just going to turn their usual "raghead islamistic terrorist antisemite" up to 11, no?

@GossiTheDog nah, murder is fine, because something something second amendment ๐Ÿ™„

@david_chisnall the rainbow patterns are still there, yes (I personally only see them when I take pictures of the projection, but others with a faster vision can probably see them)

@molly0xfff this is very, very ironic ๐Ÿ˜‘
