AI deployment in place of employment inevitably exerts downward pressure on wages. Which increases the profit margin for capital.

Much as prison is a discipline imposed by the capitalist state on the underclass, who in turn are used as a threat against the workers, so is AI being used as a discipline on the technoproletarian class—the knowledge workers.

I never really published this, so here it is. Whenever I need a vertical USB-C power receptacle that is flush with the PCB, I use this tiny 90° adapter that I designed. It hosts a power-only type-C connector, 2 5.1k resistors and a 4.7uF MLCC, if needed.

It’s super easy to assemble and adds almost no cost. The matching footprint is in my KiCAD library allows for a super sturdy mount. I love to use these vertical connectors :3

(If you are curious about the projector, will open source it soon 🙈)

Closeup of the USB-C receptacle with no cable plugged in. Its opening is recessed in the board, the connector is otherwise invisible. There is a green terminal connector to the left. The board has a lot of ray-like printed structures, a beaker with an orange substance is blurred in the background
Closeup of the backside of the PCB, showing the mechanical connection of the USB-C vertical connector. It is soldered down with three large fillets. It is a very small PCB, hosting the receptacle on its back side
Top down photo of the backside, the USB-C receptacle is also soldered down on this side with two fillets, the board hosting the connector also hosts two resistors

If I was a kinder, gentler, more naïve man, I could almost think that Google is trying to disabuse us of the notion that LLMs are anything like Artificial fucking Intelligence by showing us how they just mash content and regurgitate it all over our browser screen until we figure it out.

Scoop: I obtained the contract Samsung requires independent shops to sign to buy phone repair parts from them.

It requires:

  • "Daily" dumps of customer data
  • The "immediate destruction" of any phones a shop comes across that has third-party parts

"Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

The computer, however, will stop you from recording DRM'd content.

Find it fascinating that when faced with drawing safety and security boundaries, the primary beneficiary is not the owner of the device, or the person using it, but random corporations who control the intellectual property rights.

The system doesn't work for you.

I find it equally fascinating that in order to get anywhere near an integrated computing experience in 2024 we apparently need constant recording and transformer models.

No structured file systems, no permission models, no shared stores, no capabilities - just firehose the display output and hope for the best.

On Friday, I had pan-fried, left over, macaroni cheese for dinner. The START / STOP buttons on my microowave have stopped working, so I couldn't reheat it.

I'm trying to fix the buttons now. They are on a flat plastic panel and seem to have contacts that get better contact when pressed, and I think that they now longer "spring" open again.

Does anyone know how I could fix these?

Got the Alveo U50, planning to modify it, not sure how much. Definitely cooling as it requires extreme air pressure like in a server.

e You Do Israelis deserve to be free? ® ChatGPT Yes, just like any other people, Israelis deserve to live in freedom, peace, and security. Israel, like any nation, has the right to self-determination and sovereignty. The desire for freedom, safety, and the ability to pursue a fulfilling life is universal and applies to all individuals, regardless of their nationality or background. Israel has faced significant security challenges throughout its history, including wars, terrorism, and regional conflicts. Ensuring the freedom and security of its citizens is a fundamental responsibility of any government. Like all nations, Israel's pursuit of freedom should be balanced with respect for the rights and dignity of all people, including Palestinians, and adherence to international law and human rights principles. The aspiration for Israeli freedom should not come at the expense of the rights and freedoms of others, particularly Palestinians. A sustainable and just peace in the region requires recognizing the legitimate aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians and finding ways to address their respective concerns through dialogue, negotiation, and cooperation.

Ha! The Discord GDPR/Data Export thing reveals that it's running models to figure out what gender you are. If you go to /activity/analytics/events-*.json and grep for predicted_gender you get something like:

One of the Matrix developers saw fit to comment on my gist https://gist.github.com/soatok/8aef6f67fec9c702f510ee24d19ef92b?permalink_comment_id=5058644#gistcomment-5058644

In response, I actually looked at their code, identified two security vulnerabilities, and disclosed them to their security@ email.

This reaffirms the opinion I held previously.

It’s Time for Furries to Stop Using Telegram

I have been a begrudging user of Telegram for years simply because that's what all the other furries use. When I signed up, I held my nose and expressed my discontent at Telegram by selecting a username that's a dig at MTProto's inherent insecurity against chosen ciphertext attacks: IND_CCA3_Insecure. Art: CMYKat I wrote about Furries and Telegram before, and included some basic privacy recommendations.
