Don't use dairy milk for tear gas. Comes with infection risks. Water or saline is generally recommended instead. Plant-milks might be ok (but I'm not 100% sure)

That means bacteria can contaminate the milk and potentially cause infection if applied to eyes or skin wounds. Jordt says it’s better to use water or saline solutions to wash out eyes after a tear-gas attack.

EDIT: accidentally pasted the wrong link earlier somehow, fixed now

Now that I'm looking for it, I can't find it anywhere, I think it might just be something unpublished from the person on mastodon. Would make sense with them saying they love footnotes

Not necessarily. Self citation is different than building on your previous work. You might just seek to use other citations for the relevent concepts

Edit: the 2015 paper this is referencing lists many differing potential reasons for it. Ranging from worrying more about negative feedback for self citation to being more likely to being more critical of their own work

There is one that might actually be helpful for ones using vision systems. Some researchers were able to do prompt injection with text in images that's basically invisible to humans

nurple

Hmm on what keyboard are n and p even that close to each other. Not on qwerty or dvorak. Maybe space and then n? But then wouldn't that be npurple

Am I reading too much into this? Probably

The issue is how then do you get that systematic change? Governments are going to be extremely hard to convince to do anything as along as people expect to consume animal products en mass. It's going to have to start with individual action until systematic change is palatable

And with systematic action, it's still going to have to involve change in consumption in the end. Factory farming is pretty much the only thing that scales. Want to avoid it? We're going to need to see great drops in production and in turn consumption

The impacts of people taking action do add up. For instance, in Germany there's been declines in per capita meat consumption over the past decade

In 2011, Germans ate 138 pounds of meat each year. Today, it’s 121 pounds — a 12.3 percent decline. And much of that decline took place in the last few years, a time period when grocery sales of plant-based food nearly doubled.

Quite something how even the tamest of recommendations gets called "extreme"

Recommendations like "hey maybe look into not killing baby pigs by smashing them into things" (not even stop doing it, just look into not doing it) and "maybe have some video of what goes on"

They don’t scale super well at the moment. See my comment elsewhere about just that

I listed multiple vegetables there? There's plenty more too like brussel sprouts, kale, parsley. Many are actually even higher than citrus like brocoli

In practice, people are only really getting it from plants. Technically possible doesn't mean that's actually what happens

Although vitamin C can be obtained from the consumption of fresh meat, it is destroyed by heating and is more typically obtained from plant sources

Vitamin C

Huh? Good sources of Vitamin C are pretty much only plants? The reason sailors got scurvy was due to a meat heavy diet

It's not just citrus that has that. It's a wide range of plants from broccoli to kiwi to red pepper to potatoes, etc.

Going back to the website then finds zero mention of AI nor was the technology really capable of creating anything like that video (or even parts of it)
