Both 0.3 and 0.30000000000000004 are IEEE 754 approximations, because the exact decimal value 0.3 cannot be represented precisely in binary floating-point.
However, we can emulate ties-to-odd instead ties-to-even rounding mode. Unfortunately, this is quite tricky on JS:

Honestly Putin really picked the worst possible time to invade Ukraine while a comedian was sitting in the president’s chair. Now he and whole aggressor coountry are slowly turning into a huge joke

Russia became an empire because it shrewdly played the people's of Central and Eastern Europe against each other for hundreds of years... Poland literally stopped existing because of it.
And, of course, russia is trying to do the same again.
If we are looking at history these days ... that bit of history seems way more important in the current context.

Overnight Russian attack on Kyiv update: The death toll has risen to 18‼️ Another 85 people have been injured, including 2 children.
Bastards. Fucking terrorists.

Russia hit a residential building in Kyiv with a ballistic missile. This is possible to do without consequences in the 21st century, because human life is nothing to the civilized world.
3-finger test (Trident) also works great to detect a russian which pretending to be Ukraninan. Only Ukrainians can do this gesture properly 😉 😉😉
The "three fingers in front of your face" test (also called the 3-Finger Test) is a simple, viral trick popularized in early 2026 for spotting deepfakes or AI-generated video during live calls, especially with scammers.
How It Works
On a video call (Zoom, FaceTime, etc.), you ask the other person: "Can you hold up three fingers in front of your face?" A real human does this easily — their hand overlaps their face naturally.
Many (especially older) deepfake or real-time face-swap systems struggle with this because:
- They have trouble rendering occlusion (when the hand blocks part of the face) accurately in real time.
- This often causes visible glitches: blurring, warping, distortion, unnatural blending, or the AI refusing / hesitating because it can't process the complex interaction properly.
In the original viral clip (from cybersecurity researchers like Jim Browning and Huntress Labs), a suspected scammer hesitates, deflects ("That's too much..."), partially complies poorly, or the video glitches — exposing the fake.
Why It Fits the Cognitive Wild West
This test is a practical example of the "Cognitive Wild West" idea: in an era of synthetic media, people are developing quick hacks and personal "defenses" because there's no widespread, reliable system for verifying reality.
It's low-tech cognitive security against high-tech deception — part of the arms race between AI creators and everyday users trying not to get scammed or manipulated.
Limitations (It's Not Foolproof)
Already becoming obsolete — Newer, more advanced deepfake models (as of mid-2026) handle hand-face interactions much better. Scammers now know the trick and can train around it or use better tech.
It works best on real-time generated deepfakes, not pre-recorded or highly polished ones.
False confidence is a risk: relying on one trick can make you less safe if you ignore other red flags (odd lighting, unnatural eye movement, audio mismatches, etc.).
Better Practices in the Wild West
Security experts recommend combining it with:
- Asking for unpredictable actions (e.g., specific movements or objects).
- Verifying identity through other channels (call back on a known number, check details independently).
- Using emerging detection tools or just defaulting to higher scepticism on unsolicited video calls.
It's a fun, memorable meme in the broader discussion of living with AI-generated content, but like everything in this space, it's temporary — the frontier keeps moving.

Okay so, we just found that over 50 papers published at @Neurips 2025 have AI hallucinations
I don't think people realize how bad the slop is right now
It's not just that researchers from @GoogleDeepMind, @Meta, @MIT, @Cambridge_Uni are using AI - they allowed LLMs to generate hallucinations in their papers and didn't notice at all.
It's insane that these made it through peer review👇

Ukrainians should be occupied, tortured, murdered, raped, imprisoned, disappeared and their entire nation, culture, language and identity erased... Because I am a pussy ass bitch basically.
Ukrainians are the sacrifice he is willing to make.
Well, we refuse 😊✌️
Anything else?
“Europe must prevent Ukraine from winning the war against russia. Ukrainians should lose because a Ukrainian victory would trigger World War III, and I don’t want to hide from bombs and missiles.”

Following these remarks, Bohlen’s concerts have been canceled in several European countries.
It would be good to cancel them in all the countries.

👏 “A bitter irony. Yury Dolgoruky — the prince widely regarded as the founder of Moscow — is buried on the grounds of the Lavra. Their city was born in Kyiv”
This is how Fire Point co-founder Denys Shtilerman reacted to the strike on the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.
“Their state, their church, their writing system — all of it originated here, on our land. And in return, for centuries they have burned, looted, and now bombed the cradle from which they themselves emerged.
Because as long as Kyiv and the Lavra stand, the world can see who represents a thousand-year-old civilization — and who is trying to appropriate someone else’s history.”
🤯 A Russian missile struck the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra
Following the overnight attack on Kyiv, the roof of the Dormition Cathedral caught fire. The cathedral is the main church of the monastery, founded nearly a thousand years ago and regarded as one of the most revered sites in Orthodox Christianity.
Ironically, Putin has repeatedly claimed that Orthodoxy and Russia are inseparable, saying that “with the adoption of Christianity and Orthodoxy, the Russian nation began to form as a single nation,” and that “Orthodoxy unites people of many different nationalities.”
That did not stop a Russian missile from hitting one of the most important Orthodox shrines in Ukraine.

I just watched priests trying to save crucifixes from a burning monastery.
This is what russia is destroying.
The Kyiv Lavra is one of the holiest Orthodox sites on earth. A UNESCO World Heritage site.
Moscow calls itself “Christian civilisation.”
It’s literally barbarism.

EXCLUSIVE:
🚨 @TulsiGabbard Recycled Published Russian Intelligence And Claimed It Was An Official American Intelligence Document In Her Latest Act Of Deception Days Before She Is Set To “Resign” As DNI 🚨
In her “Ukrainian Bio lab” document “declassification” release this week, I’ve discovered that DNI Tulsi Gabbard used graphics from official Russian intelligence documents and slapped an ODNI @ODNIgov logo on top of these same documents to present them as an official intel report created by the US government.
Upon further analysis of Tulsi Gabbard’s most recent declassification related to Ukraine, I have discovered evidence that she is directly peddling Russian government propaganda.
Here’s the evidence:
Source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.…
Slide 1 ironically includes an IC assessment that claims Russia will attempt to spread false narratives about the US’s bio labs in Ukraine, which is exactly what @TulsiGabbard just helped the Russian Government do.
Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and which contains basic spelling and geographical errors, making a mockery of the US government.
Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corporation (Black and Veatch) that worked with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine. The Russian Government claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Government then widely publicized these products in their own official reports in 2022.
Gabbard’s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian Government in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agencies.
Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russian Government to the UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week.
Source: the-trench.org/wp-content/up…
Gabbard’s intent with this deception is to conflate the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine.
Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research.
But what is clear is Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act.
My FOIA request to ODNI regarding the production of these documents is being submitted on Monday morning. By law, ODNI has 10 business days to respond.
I look forward to reading the emails.
The Trump administration should order ODNI to take these Russian documents down today. This is embarrassing for the Trump administration.
Nice to know ODNI gets their “intel” and their graphics from Russian intelligence.
See photographic evidence below 👇🏻
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

That's literally the most AI-slop map you could find on the internet. @TulsiGabbard try to do better next time. You're disappointing the old man in kremlin, and things aren't exactly easy for him right now

Yann Lecun published the most heretical AI paper of the year.
He opens by arguing Magnus Carlsen isn't good at chess and only gets more unhinged from there.
The Turing Award winner and his co-authors dropped a paper demanding the AI industry abandon its biggest obsession, AGI.
Right now, everyone from Silicon Valley CEOs to politicians assumes AGI is the ultimate goal. A machine that can do everything a human can do.
LeCun argues that this entire concept is a biological illusion.
Humans do not possess "general" intelligence. We are highly specialized biological machines, tuned by evolution simply to survive in the physical world.
We only think our intelligence is "general" because we are completely blind to the millions of cognitive tasks we are incapable of comprehending.
Which brings us to the chess argument.
Magnus Carlsen is the greatest human chess player in history. But compared to a modern computer? He is fundamentally terrible.
Our belief that Carlsen is "good" at chess is pure human-centric bias. He isn't objectively good. He's just better than the rest of us, who are biologically awful at it.
LeCun says we need to stop building AI to mimic human generality.
Instead, he proposes a new North Star: SAI.
Superhuman Adaptable Intelligence.
Instead of trying to build a machine that mimics our flawed, biologically-limited brains, we need to embrace extreme specialization.
SAI is about the speed of adaptation.
It is an intelligence that can learn to exceed humans at any specific, economically important task.
More importantly, it is designed to fill the vast skill gaps where humans are fundamentally incapable.
Things like managing global energy grids in real-time. Or predicting complex molecular structures.
The entire AI industry is obsessed with building a digital reflection in our own image.
LeCun's paper is a brutal wake-up call.
