Quote in September last year for a high-memory compute server. £28,000. Quote today for the _exact same machine_. £90,500 This is for medical research. Saving lives. When I say LLMs are killing people by killing research computing, this is what I mean. @davidgerard.co.uk @edzitron.com

Yesterday I read an interview with the singer in a punk band who uses GenAI to help with writing his texts. Punk. The whole point of punk was that if you know how to play 3 cords badly and have something to say just fucking go for it.

Morgen ist der 4. März 2026. Vor 60 Tagen wird sich dann das Urteil BVerwG, 04.03.1966 - IV C 2.65 gejährt haben. In diesem Urteil wurde entscheiden, daß das Abstellen von privaten Stehzeugen im öffentlichen Raum erlaubt ist und eine Stadtverwaltung das […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Please keep posting your art; drawings, paintings, poems, photos, comics, doodles, music, whatever. Culture is one of the few things that make us remarkable as a species, and paramount it properly aids the preservation of humankind's emotional expression. And do remember, a computer *cannot* […]

It’s probably once again a bad time, historically speaking, for archdukes to ride in open convertibles.

Brief von der Handwerkskammer: Der Herr Sohn ist in die Lehrlingsrolle aufgenommen. Yeah! 🎉 #Fedieltern

„In unserer Familie hat man sich nicht gestritten. In unserer Familie war man beleidigt“, sagt meine Tante. Schön, dass Menschen immer noch dazu lernen können.

[work] Spent 30 minutes today arguing why it's unwise for us to provide a customer with a proprietary viewer to look at their files in an S3 bucket. "Not invented here" syndrome gone wild.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Es ist meine Pflicht als Gedenkstättenleiter, den Ort und seine Opfer vor derartigen Instrumentalisierungen zu schützen. Insbesondere auch vor der AfD, die unsere Arbeit ständig angreift.

Dear Berliners, Does anyone know about or plan to attend feminist or International Women’s Day events in Berlin on March 8? Demos, rides, talks, gatherings, anything you could share. #frauentag #8m #feminism #berlin

My son bought a second-hand Windows 11 PC for games, and has been having BSOD issues with the graphics card since he got it. Out of desperation he tried installing Bazzite on it, which I encouraged, but was also trying not to get his hopes up, telling him that the some things might not work. But […]

So I’m on a night train. I boarded in the north of Germany, and will arrive at my home in the south of the country tomorrow morning. It feels like an incredible modern way to travel.

Meinung: https://phanpy.social sollte das offizielle Frontend von #mastodon werden. Dort sind so viele sinnvolle UX Ideen verbaut, die auch genau die Schwächen des Fediverse adessieren - allein der "Aufholen“ View ist phantastisch um das Fehlen einer algorhytmischen Timeline zu kompensieren.

Gestern war Frühling! Heute ist in Hamburg wieder November.

As an indication of just how different the Fediverse is from corporate social media: I just checked my follower count for the first time in over three months.

“Senior advisers to…Trump would prefer Israel strike Iran before the United States launches an assault on the country… These Trump…officials are privately arguing that an Israeli attack would trigger Iran to retaliate, HELPING MUSTER SUPPORT FROM AMERICAN VOTERS FOR A US STRIKE.” [emphasis added]

Don't get it twisted this attack on trans people in Kansas (how did they identify the people they sent those letters to? They have a list, the monsters.) is a trial, a test.

Last week, for the first time in 20 years, a man died from a treatable snake bite on my home island of Martinique. He had asked chatGPT what to do instead of going the hospital. He missed the 6 hours treatable window.
