Kinda crazy that artificial intelligence needs the entire output of a nuclear reactor but actual intelligence can run on Twix bars and cocaine, for example.

I coded this in the early 2000s & slightly miscalculated a v late change to the energy meter. Client was hopeless at deploying updates so it got left that way, and now young adults reminisce about how brutally difficult the cute hamster game was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UQo80_62zg

Infosec friends, you want to have nightmares tonight? Let me tell you what it was like to work in Silicon Valley in the mid 1990s. I worked at SGI, a major computer manufacturer. When I started, I was given an SGI Indy workstation running IRIX 5.3. It had no root password, setting one up was completely optional. I had full control over all software installed on it, and I could install anything I wanted from our internal dist server, including reinstalling the OS. New OS patches were occasionally available, but finding them and installing them was up to you. That workstation had a publicly routed IPv4 address and was connected to the campus Ethernet, which was in turn connected to the public Internet. There was no firewall, so I could access it from anywhere in the world (and since ssh wasn't much of a thing yet, that connection was unencrypted Telnet). And finally, to add to your nightmare, every workstation ran sendmail and received email directly: you could email me at <name>@sgi.com or directly at <name>@<workstation>.corp.sgi.com, and mail would be routed to my workstation. And yet... it all worked! And if I'm honest, I really miss it. Bad people broke things and ruined the good times for everyone.

Deliberately friend-sized and friend-shaped, with a soft surface material and soft, squishy stuffing, you will soon be able to have a #Mastodon in your home:

Dumb thought: Could you legally use an LLM to rewrite open source code so it works the same, but avoids the GPL?

I love rogue roadside poppies that put up with terrible living conditions in order to turn bright orange in the spring, wave at passersby, and sing “fuck you, I’m alive, in spite of all you did to kill me”

VOA loves to get fan mail. A total of 118 letters have been received from one person in Japan! I want to thank Mr. Saito for his correspondence but it’s all in Braille (English or 点字?) and no one here can read it. Any suggestions from the Fediverse?

Yesterday I found myself sitting at 40,000 feet over the middle of the Pacific, miles from any civilization, when my phone popped up a notification that one of my cats had used the litter box.

This is a level of technology I could never have dreamed of. Or necessarily wanted to.
