Haha get kudzu’d

The NIST F3 fountain clock has a sign on it that says “no splashing in the fountain”

sign on the nuclear plant gates that reads "gone fission"

I like how there’s a category of careers (cowboy, pirate, spy, princess) that have a very specific historical and political context that they get stripped of for the entertainment of children

The majority of the Earth’s rodents: How do you survive environments with practically zero oxygen, feel no pain, and live for decades when none of the rest of us can???

Naked mole-rats:

Nowadays when I open a PDF on my work computer and immediately hit ctrl+F to search the document for something, usually because I’m looking for a specific section of a manual or something, Adobe PDF reader gives me a little popup that says “Click here to learn about our powerful AI summary features :) :) :)” and it covers the Carl+F box and there’s no way to get rid of it except to wait about 15 seconds. Anyway when are we gonna do the Butlerian Jihad and destroy all thinking machines

Is it strange to unironically listen to Sea Shanties? They slap… They’re great, but… is it weird?

Reblogging to add that crabs can in fact at least perform digital logic operations and that a billion of them could probably be programmed to run Doom

Robust Soldier Crab Ball Gate

Soldier crabs Mictyris guinotae exhibit pronounced swarming behaviour. The swarms of the crabs tolerant of perturbations. In computer models

There was a paper in 2016 exploring how an ML model was differentiating between wolves and dogs with a really high accuracy, they found that for whatever reason the model seemed to *really* like looking at snow in images, as in thats what it pays attention to most.

Then it hit them. *oh.*

*all the images of wolves in our dataset has snow in the background*

*this little shit figured it was easier to just learn how to detect snow than to actually learn the difference between huskies and wolves. because snow = wolf*

Shit like this happens *so often*. People think trainning models is like this exact coding programmer hackerman thing when its more like, coralling a bunch of sentient crabs that can do calculus but like at the end of the day theyre still fucking crabs.
