The @effinbirds.com Christmas cards continue to bring joy. Got sent a video of a friend’s toddler all dressed in a Christmas onesie taking the card and running off with it, the words “Fuck your holiday cheer” clearly visible.

My takeaway from this is that "pterodactyl" is therefore also Gaelic and not Greek.
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

My spouse got these kitchen towels with rabbits that have fluffy sewn on tails. V keeps ripping them off so it looks like we have a bunch of towels with rabbits showing their butt holes. 🤷

My favorite part of Seattle isn't the rain
or the infrastructure to move the rained rain
or the hills that speed up the removal of rain
but rather the civil planners a lifetime ago that decided it was a good idea to PLANT TREES THAT LOSE ALL THEIR FCKIN LEAVES EVERY TIME IT RAINS ON EVERY STREET.

Bhopal is my earliest recollection of Industrial Nightmare as a kid that set me learning about more and more of them. Might have been in the background of how I ended up in my current career.
This Day in Labor History: December 2, 1984. A gas leak in a Union Carbide chemical plant in Bhopal, India killed somewhere between 3787 and 16,000 people. Let's talk about probably the worst industrial disaster in history and how U.S. companies can murder with impunity, then and now!

We've been struggling with a variant of this: how do you prevent prompt injection attacks when the source of the data comes from a database (think "customer reviews").
I'm not aware of anything that can prevent an llm from interpreting any part the text it receives as a part of the prompt.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.
