I like to whine that the municipal government here is a joke at fixing road problems. Basically if there is a problem (like a bigass pothole) they put an orange cone on it. If people call to complain... they put out a bigger cone.

This afternoon I'm watching City Of Fear [1959] in which a guy THINKS he has a canister with heroin in it, but it actually contains cobalt-60. At the end, [spoiler alert] when he finally dies of radiation poisoning they just put a blanket on him and a little biohazard sign. Suddenly my municipality doesn't seem so clown-like. Boy, life in the 1950's was rough!

Was just watching City Of Fear [1959] and saw this scene reminding viewers that crabs can be a socially debilitating problem.

Scene of a fellah on a bus stop bench repeatedly grasping at something in his pocket which kind of looks like it could instead be his nuts.

Hm is it redundant to say "with AI" and also "for Dummies"?

@specter Uhhhm, wouldn't that be "by dummies"?

jmhorner,
@jmhorner@eattherich.club avatar

@specter Ah ha! And upon reflection, AI is also trained by "whatever it can scrape from the world's biggest pile of stupid"... so maybe the best solution is to expand it to "By Dummies, For Dummies" which can then be shortened to AI™? :-)

So, I have watched a bunch of old #western movies, and I thought that Van Heflin whacking Emile Meyer in the head with a pickaxe handle in Shane [1953] was a pretty good whoopin'. But this afternoon I am watching Rock Island Trail [1950] and Forrest Tucker just dumped a half a barrel of whiskey on a guy and fucking lit him on fire! Life in the 1800's really was tougher.

Don't get me wrong... Microsoft's ability to block legitimate mail, allow spam through, AND still be a giant source of spam for decades is fucking epic. But Oracle is trying their best to compete. Lookout Microsoft, there's a new jackass in town!

jmhorner,

@tyil Over the last 2+ decades I have seen more spam from Microsoft than anyone else. I mean on an SMTP server as opposed to an individual mailbox. Somewhat recently that has been extra-true because people have been using Microsoft to perform SMTP smuggling.

https://www.postfix.org/smtp-smuggling.html

The spam I see from Google is usually "Can I send you a quote for SEO services?" being sent to addresses that have been scraped off web sites. I know SOME people don't consider that spam, I definitely do. The stuff I see from Microsoft is typically "Your Disney account expired" or "You need dick pills" type stuff... I think pretty well everyone who isn't a 419 scammer can agree that is spam [or more specifically phishing].

Side Note: I have also seen occasional big waves of "contact targeted" spam from Rogers/Yahoo! that are the result of account hacks. Seems they have allowed that to persist for decades as well. :-(

@tyil I was actually managing email for work back in the late 90's (about 1700 mailboxes at the time). In the early 2000's I had a minor role in managing about 17000 mailboxes, and in the late 2000's and early 2010's I had a significant role in managing about 3500 mailboxes. These days it is only a half dozen small domains for friends and family, but in case there is any question, SMTP has NOT gotten better over the years! :-(

Yes, getting Microsoft to accept legitimate mail can be a huge hassle. I have jumped through all of the rDNS, SPF, DNSWL, DKIM, DMARC, and SNDS hoops and sometimes it just doesn't make a bit of difference.

> interesting to get some proper statistical insight

One of the things I have seen develop [instead of the big mail providers] is delivery services like Mailgun and Sendgrid that get used by a different breed of spammer. They are not particular about who is paying them, so for a fairly minimal investment a spammer can get pretty good IP reputation... for a while. Then the delivery service shifts to a new IP address, leaving a wake of IP addresses with terrible reputation in their wake.

> Using the latest infrared and optical satellite imagery, as well as on-the-ground research, a team of scientists assessed streamhealth within the burn zones. Then they compared stretches of stream that had beaver dams to stretches without.“Beaver-modified riverscapes are resistant to megafire-scale disturbance,” the study authors wrote. “This resilience is directlyattributable to beaver dam- and canal-building activity.”

Using our most bestest science we realized actually beaver not a pest! beaver important, damn.

Holy hell it's gonna be a day.

I will be:
-Announcing that I'm quitting my job in #Climate comms due to what seems like retaliation from management for calling them out on hypocrisy a few weeks ago

  • Publicly challenging #Cornell's attempt to fuck up our city's energy code to preserve #FossilFuel infrastructure

  • Recommending to the City of #Ithaca that they approve the Justice50 provision that would benefit disadvantaged communities for many years to come.

Wish me luck!

@00Aaron I am looking at the part which says:

> New fossil fuels burning equipment shall not be used installed for space heating, water heating or
clothes drying within the FLOOR AREA. Fossil fuels may be used for PROCESS ENERGY

and am not sure of exactly what that means. I see that "floor area" is essentially defined as "in the building" but I don't see a definition of "process energy". Based on general definitions of "process energy" that I can find, is it fair to interpret the document as saying:

  • None of this applies to existing buildings

  • New buildings will not be permitted to install fossil fuel based equipment inside the building (floor area) but would be permitted to install fossil fuel based equipment outside of the building

  • Fossil fuel use required for the manufacturing of equipment will not be considered relevant when evaluating whether or not a particular piece of equipment is fossil fuel based

Now I'm no project manager, but if the first and second points are interpreted correctly, isn't that a pretty big hole in which to install some fossil fuel based equipment?

A post @00Aaron made yesterday has kind of stuck with me. Since reading it I have been thinking about his [in my evaluation] frustration with an industry that presents itself as having a noble goal, but which ridiculously believes it can achieve this goal by kissing the asses of those who are clearly indifferent to the fact that the goal exists at all. An example came to me in the bathroom today... a package of toilet paper said "Carbon Neutral" on the side of it, and I thought to myself:

"In what fucking universe does that make any sense?"

Well, I guess the only answer I could come up with is "The Marketing Universe". I suspect that kind of bullshittery is exactly what Aaron is fighting against.

To everyone else... I hope that as you go about your day you'll seek out that kind of destructive lie, and stick your neck out to call dingo on the source. To Aaron... I hope you make someone squirm today.
