A few ads providers that seem to not be problematic?:

• A-ADS — Crypto & Bitcoin advertising Network
• Carbon Ads — Reach Creators and Developers at Scale

Sometimes, when writing a blog or KB article, it's easy to struggle finding a decent cover image for that piece. Why that's something you need to do, is explained by The importance of cover images on articles.

Oftentimes, however, we don't have a picture that fits these requirements good — or maybe we don't have any image at all even marginally regarding the article, and really can't find a way to make one, unless with too much effort or money. Exactly in this scenario, stock photos and AI-generated imagery fit perfectly.

Some good tools for the job:

• Craiyon — Free to use without and account, with no ratelimits or the like; gives 9 images in 60 seconds, but they are low-quality, getting the wanted image requires much trial and error; images are given 256x256 but can be upscaled to 1024x1024, and they have a watermark but it's easy to remove it with free online tools.
• (New) Bing Image Creator — Powered by DALL-E 3, mostly free to use but requires an account and generation is slow without credits (which can be bought with Rewards points, or 25 for free weekly)

Ethanol

A proposito di alcol

I danni sociali dell'alcol sono numerosi e di alta portata

È sempre stato così ma oggi

• Dovrebbe essere più ovvio grazie ai moderni mezzi che permettono rapida diffusione globale di notizie e conoscenza.
• Chi ha una vita comune non ha bisogno di sfasciarsi con l'alcol o fare altre cose pericolose/dannose per emozioni momentanee, la vita per quanto piena di problemi è comunque migliore di quella dei nostri antenati.

No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health

Alcohol is a toxic, psychoactive, and dependence-producing substance classified as a Group 1 carcinogen.

Risks potentially start from the first drink, as no minimum level of consumption has ben identified from which the risks start, and that below it are absent.

The general population is indoctrinated by culture and often ignores the toxic properties of alcohol.

Poorer people are at higher health risks with alcohol due to generally more uncontrolled drinking patterns.

Like with cigarettes, we need health labels on alcohol products.

Isopropanol

• Cheap like denaturated alcohol but it's natural, without strange chemical additives
  • Transparent instead of pink
  • Better for cleaning electronic components
• More interesting chemical structure than ethanol

The AI Dilemma — [YouTube]

Replika - A CyberS*xual DISASTER

• What was once born as something supposedly to serve as an AI friend-counselor, to help people with mental health issues or similar problems, then became an operation devoid of any ethical consideration.
  • Sexual features were integrated in the app and heavily publicized, to the long-term detriment of vulnerable users.
• It can be argued that the service never actually managed to fulfill its original goal in the first place, as some people:
  • Got addicted to it and now live worse than how they did before.
  • Got abused and directly manipulated by it, often into spending for premium features.

February 2023

Raiden Warned About AI Censorship - MGS2 Codec Call (2023 Version)

While I think the entire scenario is only partially realistic, and if the video wasn't meant to be just a meme then the entire argument could probably be considered a conspiracy theory, the general line of thought is scarily plausible.

1. World governments aren't yet denying access to advanced AI technologies to the public to make it spread to very negative uses.
2. This way an excuse for total control of the Internet will be put in place:
   • The generative AIs that the public will still have access to will be crippled.
   • Everything will require government identification, "to be sure that a real person is doing X".
     • Online anonymity even for morally correct causes will no longer exist.
     • World governments will have total control on the population with fallacious appeals to combating first against disinformation, and ultimately "non-morality" (anything the government just doesn't like).

Uh Oh.. Did AI Just Kill Websites?

With all the Issues of the Modern Web, and the practical demonstrations of the amazing capabilities of AIs that are already available today, it's not absurd to think that conversational AI could soon kill websites.

• Advertisers could probably soon go to AI, because of the potential to deploy even more targeted ads, while simultaneously appearing less invasive to users.
• Writers and content creators could focus more on the content: not have to deal with SEO issues, and more easily deploy content thanks to APIs provided by the AI services instead of having to construct a website.

My friend is in university and taking a history class. The professor is using ChatGPT to write essays on the history topics and as the assignments, the students have to mark up its essays and point out where ChatGPT is wrong and correct it.

ChatGPT Has A Serious Problem [ColdFusion]

• Has political biases (both right and left, more towards the left).
  • Viewpoints that in the future will be recognized as correct, could in the present be obscured by AI because of being deemed incorrect.
  • Potentially the left-leaning bias is intentional because of being good for business.

• ENiGMA½ is a modern BBS software with a nostalgic flair! — [Git]
  • Warning: with this software, after ~1 month of very little active usage (no one ever logged on it, except me for the few days, so it just ran idle the last weeks...), I saw strangely-high disk I/O usage at kind of random times (node installed on microSD, the BBS on HDD). I disabled it in the meantime because, together with the SpaccCraft server, it was contributing to the rise of load average and crashing the entire server. I never had time/will to investigate properly after this discovery though.

• reassign struct in C (meaning reassigning all fields at a time); the feature is part of compound literals, sadly only supported in C99+, won't work before that and it's not easy to guess why without knowing this
• How to copy arrray to array using memcpy() in C — you should allocate memory for tmp with size = sizeof(a). And then memcpy with size = sizeof(a)
• Reading command line parameters
• Why do many functions that return structures in C, actually return pointers to structures?
• Passing by reference in C — "C does not support passing a variable by reference"... Passing a pointer is passing-by-reference. This seems to be one of those facts that "savvy" C programmers pride themselves on. Like they get a kick out of it. "Oh you might THINK C has pass-by-reference but no it's actually just the value of a memory address being passed harharhar". Passing by reference literally just means passing the memory address of where a variable is stored rather than the variable's value itself [...]
• Pointers in C: when to use the ampersand and the asterisk?
  • Related: error: invalid type argument of ‘unary *’ (have ‘int’), this happens when using * against a value instead of a pointer, since you can't dereference a value from a value.
• What is a "callback" in C and how are they implemented? (function pointers)
  • 'declared as a function' in C — function pointers in structs must be declared with the syntax type (functionName*)( type arg1, ... )
• Where should I prefer pass-by-reference or pass-by-value? — (performance-wise) "here's the simple rule: pass by reference when the value is large."
  • When should I pass or return a struct by value?
• Directly assigning values to C Pointers
• strcpy vs. memcpy — strcpy stops when it encounters a NUL ('\0') character, memcpy does not, aka as the names suggest often strcpy is perfect for strings while for generic data memcpy could be needed.
• ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code in C — old C standards required that new variables can be declared only before any other actual instruction in a scoped block, e.g. only at the top of a function
• "Multiple definition", "first defined here" errors — error that can arise in multiple cases
• Creating empty function macros — only safe way is #define SomeFunction(arg) ((void)0)
  • C macros, what's the meaning of ((void)0)?
• How to use "else if" with the preprocessor #ifdef? — the only widely-supported way is: #if defined(X)...#elif defined(Y)...#else...#endif
  • "compound conditionals" are supported, eg. #if defined(X) || (defined(Y) && defined(Z))...
• How to enforce C89-style variable declarations in gcc? — for some things of this goal, just the flags -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wdeclaration-after-statement are needed, I would guess.
