Wikipedia says:

The mitochondrion is popularly nicknamed the “powerhouse of the cell”, a phrase popularized by Philip Siekevitz in a 1957 Scientific American article of the same name.[4]

But know your meme attributes its meme status to this tumblr post from 2013:

Contrary to comments in many places like this reddit thread from 2018, I suspect the phrase wasn’t actually used in many textbooks or very commonly known prior to that tumblr post.

(If you search on Google Books you can find numerous textbooks using the phrase. Range-based search on Google Books appears to be broken so I’m not sure, but all the ones I checked were published well after 2013.)

You better find a way to make it easy, soldier, or I’m gonna start pushing buttons!

you can still use OpenRC instead if you want, and sxmo will continue to do so by default.

I’m planning on revitalizing and bringing this old Itautec to the 21st century

I think it was born in the 21st century? From this it looks like the first Celeron M was in 2004, and the first at that clockspeed was 2005.

Also, 2GB of RAM is plenty for many purposes - that’s more than any Raspberry Pi before the Pi 4 had!

I guess an LLM wrote this:

All Firefox users—especially those on versions prior to 139.0.4—should:

• Update immediately to version 139.0.4 via built-in browser update tools or Mozilla’s official download page.

🙄

Are forks like Librewolf also affected?

Yes

And have they been updated?

Librewolf is in the process of updating; perhaps some distributions of it have released new binaries already but the flathub release is still 139.0.1. In git you can see they bumped the version to get 139.0.4 (the version with the fix) here, 18 hours ago; presumably flathub will get that in the near future.

were you careful to be sure to get the parts that have the key’s name and email address?

It should be if there is chunks missing its unusable. At least thats my thinking, since gpg is usually a binary and ascii armor makes it human readable. As long as a person cannot guess the blacked out parts, there shouldnt be any data.

you are mistaken. A PGP key is a binary structure which includes the metadata. PGP’s “ascii-armor” means base64-encoding that binary structure (and putting the BEGIN and END header lines around it). One can decode fragments of a base64-encoded string without having the whole thing. To confirm this, you can use a tool like xxd (or hexdump) - try pasting half of your ascii-armored key in to base64 -d | xxd (and hit enter and ctrl-D to terminate the input) and you will see the binary structure as hex and ascii - including the key metadata. i think either half will do, as PGP keys typically have their metadata in there at least twice.

how did you choose which areas to redact? were you careful to be sure to get the parts that have the key’s name and email address?

This article buries the lede so much that many readers probably miss it completely: the important takeaway here, which is clearer in The Register’s version of the story, is that ChatGPT cannot actually play chess:

“Despite being given a baseline board layout to identify pieces, ChatGPT confused rooks for bishops, missed pawn forks, and repeatedly lost track of where pieces were."

To actually use an LLM as a chess engine without the kind of manual intervention that this person did, you would need to combine it with some other software to automate continuing to ask it for a different next move every time it suggests an invalid one. And, if you did that, it would still mostly lose, even to much older chess engines than Atari’s Video Chess.

edit: i see now that numerous people have done this; you can find many websites where you can “play chess against chatgpt” (which actually means: with chatgpt and also some other mechanism to enforce the rules). and if you know how to play chess you should easily win :)

The Russian trolls are working overtime to justify military action against American people at the objection of the governor and mayor.

For sure, the American people could never be ignorant xenophobic bigots like that on their own, it must be foreigners influencing them and/or posting those comments!

lol, ok, i see. TIL

someone reported this comment with the report reason “Anti-AI Trolling in an AI friendly community”

What makes this an AI-friendly community? I just read the sidebar and don’t see anything about AI.

I do see however that this community’s list of rules includes this peculiar pair:

• Only post socialist memes
• Don’t idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.

Do not read wikipedia’s synopsis of it first unless you want to spoil it. you can find it here on archive.org.

update one year later: https://www.wbtv.com/story/18967542/man-who-robbed-bank-for-free-helalthcare-released/

it’s not a particularly long post; if you’re really confident in the veracity of the narrative you’re familiar with then you shouldn’t need to be afraid to read something that contradicts it.

(and btw, neither of the two posts i linked claims nothing happened there.)
