@aaronpk this has been randomly happening to me in Chrome on macOS Catalina. Restarting the app doesn’t make a difference but eventually it just corrects itself. Glad I am not the only one.

Weird! I turned off GPU acceleration in chrome and restarted it and it went away for now. Not sure whether it was the GPU acceleration or just restarting chrome that fixed it

For my people that are already record on YouTube, did you buy a fancy camera or simply use your phone? Also, did you buy a nice mic?

I’d love to hear suggestions 💜

But this is exactly the issue with AI/ML they use existing data which reflect all the biases and prejudices of the human race and then bakes them in. It absolutely is Google's fault because they know, as do we all, that the data are biased and they need to do better.

Hungarian is a gender neutral language, it has no gendered pronouns, so Google Translate automatically chooses the gender for you. Here is how everyday sexism is consistently encoded in 2021. Fuck you, Google.

Latest source of outrage on the Italians in Seattle group: this appalling piece- i really want it to be satire, but it doesn’t appear so 🤦🏻‍♂️
Most of those names are absurd and caused us to recoil in horror at the thought anyone could take this seriously.

@aaronpk nice. I had a fun conversation this week with my manager/editor about the word "glitch." Curious, how do you define it?

I've never thought about it much, I suppose "a minor or brief error"

Ok this is slightly insane. OpenType (the common font format) actually supports simple scripts inside the font for complex characters and such. So a guy WROTE AN ENTIRE GAME INSIDE A FONT called Fontemon that you play by typing letters on the keyboard. https://www.coderelay.io/fontemon.html#player

If you ever wonder why security is so hard, just remember that fonts are so complicated that someone programmed an entire game into one.

Looks like the opening of a Dr Who episode. Soon you will be assimilated into the 'net and have your body upgraded by the Cybermen to fight the Daleks but then you hack your way out using a snippet of code from high school saving the world.
