WOOHOO! My BeagleBone Black is able to hardware timestamp packets again! Something changed in the latest Debian 13 drop for it, though it's limited to transmit for all or receive for IEEE 1588, though, nothing inbetween. That's epic though, I can start driving my Mellanox cards for metrology. I'll unpack the old GPSDO and give it a whirl once cabling arrives. I only found out because I needed to repurpose something for conserver, mend and make do with what's on hand.

LLMs can't reason about socio-economic issues, and arguably they are not trained to, other than to generate in line with alignment training. The definition of "Open" used by a hyperscaler may be very different from the use of that word by a small company. People should be concerned about two large technology companies controlling tools & platforms for certain telecommunications aspects between them now. LLMs just served to obfuscate this when queried, just regurgitating marketing feelgoodisms.

Sometimes luck is just... information you didn't have (or were unable to acknowledge) at some point in time finally reaching you. I made a mistake trying to take an old acquaintance into my confidence. In the process that person revealed their true colours to me. At the time of my life's business with this person (not a romantic partner, so not that far in) I was engaging in suspension of disbelief because of situation. Now the chickens came home to roost. #shitcanned

I swear to god I am never buying a Logitech keyboard ever again in my life. Yeah I got suckered by the MK270 combo. In all this excitement, as Clint Eastwood once said as Dirty Harry, I had kind of lost track myself; so it was with the receipt. Replaced with the dogshit Dell KB212 for now I got with an abortive PC bundle. But that's another story. Acclimating to the feel already. Too soft! I do hope my Dell AT101 with ALPS Sliders is still in storage... Don't get me started on the mousewheel.

If Sam Altman or Dario Amodei met an unfortunate end, and you suffered terminal injury, would you accept their transplant organs?

What we have going on now might be the other way around: "When Louise asks what the aliens want, they answer: "offer weapon". A similar translation "use weapon" is made by one of the other sites in China. ... However, Louise thinks that the symbol interpreted as "weapon" might have an alternative translation, such as "tool" or "technology". China's translation likely results from interacting with the Heptapods using Mahjong, a highly competitive game."

@AngelaScholder@mastodon.energy @connynasch@mastodon.social @twobiscuits@graz.social @mttaggart@infosec.exchange Yeah, it's basically just theft by people who have a massive, unrealistic and unjustified sense of entitlement. If they cannot be bothered to negotiate a quid pro quo that is reasonable, or respect the rights for someone to seek injunctive relief which amounts to a legal "FK right off, ct", they are fair game and deserve everything they get from now on. @davidgerard@circumstances.run

When I owned a paperback copy of "If You Liked School, You'll Love Work", it was indeed the riding crop and jodphurs edition. Not that I'm into that sort of thing. One particular story from Welsh's anthology was eerily relevant to me. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Liked-School-Youll-Love-Work/dp/0099483599
(Well, only a little bit, and maybe either way, but only a little bit, and it depends who it is, and it depends who's asking, and if Amy Adams is asking, it's different, but she's well merrit IIRC)

Anyone else remember this company's devices? https://www.corpwatch.org/article/glimmerglass-intercepts-undersea-cable-traffic-spy-agencies

"it isn't a PCIe device if it just takes power from the rails you daft brush!"

J'aime le dogshit! J'aime! You just gotta learn to love doing your chores in life!
