»Nach einer anderen Version soll ein Kaufmann einen #Basilisk​en nach Basel gebracht haben. Fest steht, dass am 6. August 1474 in Basel (nach einem Tierprozess) ein Hahn zum Tode verurteilt wurde. Dem Hahn wurde vorgeworfen, er habe ein Ei gelegt, was wider die Natur war. Vor allem aber befürchteten die Basler, dass aus dem Ei ein Basilisk schlüpfen könnte. Der Hahn wurde nach ordentlichem Prozess enthauptet und zusammen mit dem inkriminiertem Ei den Flammen übergeben.«

#CloudFlare's denial of service against #PaleMoon, #Basilisk, and other small and independent web browsers is still ongoing, and has been going on since the end of January this year. Here is an official forum thread you can follow for the current summary and status of the situation.

We ask you to (kindly and politely) pressure webmasters whose websites are behind CloudFlare to at least disable their "I'm under attack" mode which indiscriminately blocks web users and consider switching to another CAPTCHA solution. (It's very telling when even Google's reCAPTCHA works better than #Turnstile)

2) Roko's Basilisk

www.lesswrong.comRoko's Basilisk - LessWrongRoko’s basilisk is a thought experiment proposed in 2010 by the user Roko on the Less Wrong community blog. Roko used ideas in decision theory to argue that a sufficiently powerful AI agent would have an incentive to torture anyone who imagined the agent but didn't work to bring the agent into existence. The argument was called a "basilisk" --named after the legendary reptile who can cause death with a single glance--because merely hearing the argument would supposedly put you at risk of torture from this hypothetical agent. A basilisk in this context is any information that harms or endangers the people who hear it. Roko's argument was broadly rejected on Less Wrong, with commenters objecting that an agent like the one Roko was describing would have no real reason to follow through on its threat: once the agent already exists, it will by default just see it as a waste of resources to torture people for their past decisions, since this doesn't causally further its plans. A number of decision algorithms can follow through on acausal threats and promises, via the same methods that permit mutual cooperation in prisoner's dilemmas; but this doesn't imply that such theories can be blackmailed. And following through on blackmail threats against such an algorithm additionally requires a large amount of shared information and trust between the agents, which does not appear to exist in the case of Roko's basilisk. Less Wrong's founder, Eliezer Yudkowsky, banned discussion of Roko's basilisk on the blog for several years as part of a general site policy against spreading potential information hazards. This had the opposite of its intended effect: a number of outside websites began sharing information about Roko's basilisk, as the ban attracted attention to this taboo topic. Websites like RationalWiki spread the assumption that Roko's basilisk had been banned because Less Wrong users accepted the argument; thus many criticisms of Less Wrong cite Roko's basilisk as evidence t

The rogue studied his beer mat. "What's the difference between a #basilisk and a cockatrice?"

The mage beamed. "An excellent question! According to Grandulfus the Theoretician, it depends on the egg—say, rooster, snake or toad—and whether it's incubated by a—"

"Short version, please?"

"Why're you asking?"

The rogue didn't look up. "There's a smashed egg beside your boot. And something beaked and scaly, clambering up your robes."

#basilisk

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

If you're including an image please do include alt-text so I can boost your post.

There was a time when #Firefox was the choice in creating a new browser. It ended after #Chromium came into the picture.

I don't know why, I can't find information about it, but if I'll take a guess:
1. Something changed in Firefox that it's no longer a good choice to fork and create new browsers.
2. Chromium made it very easy to build a new browser on top of it.

The only remaining Firefox forks are #Palemoon, #Waterfox, #LibreWolf, #フロープ ( #Floorp ), #Basilisk, GNU IceCat, and Tor Browser.

So, what happened, really? Anyone with the knowledge? Was it really as simple as #2 (see above)?

Legion Imperialis

I bought two boxes of Basilisks/Medusas, thinking I’d make 8 of each. But looking at the rules I’m not sure what role the Medusa plays with a 12” gun.

Especially since the artillery formation requires three squadrons of 4, it seems like I should make 12 basilisks, if not all 16.

Anyone able to sell me on Medusa?
