Whenever I post about Ai solving math theorems, a bunch of people say it's just a million monkeys at a million typewriters producing the complete works of Shakespeare. But the problem is that if you had a million monkeys at a million typewriters, they literally couldn't produce the Works.

I’ve been in the security business since 1999 and the past month has been like nothing I’ve seen before in terms of 0day vulnerabilities. We were told this wouldn’t happen until mythos was made public 🙃

If you run a peertube instance and have not patched in the past 4 hours, you are way behind and likely have been compromised. The latest patch will help clean up the mess.

LOL, AWS sent out an email about jacking up domain prices again, which instead of identifying the affected domains and prices links to https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/ which naturally also doesn't show the actual prices but instead directs you to […]

Abrego García should apply for the “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” How many other people have a district court ruling actually *finding* vindictive prosecution?

Anyway, the baselines have shifted. These swarms of thousands of satellites are now calling themselves "small constellations" because they're smaller than SpaceX's monster stupid awful million satellite FCC filing. I hate it all so much. But these sun-synchronous orbits are definitely prime […]

The astronomy cloud computing system is down. Again. (It is down a lot, but I don't use it that often lately. Otherwise I would complain a lot more) Always makes me so sad that there's just buttloads of money being dumped into AI data centers so people can make awful slop no one wants, but the […]

Oh my god bruh

Trade was still largely conducted in goods in 1500s Sweden. If you sold commodities to the Crown, you were often paid in iron or butter. When Mad King Erik succeeded his father Gustavus, there were 488 metric tonnes of butter in the Crown storehouse in Stockholm. #history

OK #Firefox users, this is a special request. I'm looking for someone with a high-end Raptor Lake machine that is experiencing instability in Firefox (or anything else for the matter). The best candidate is a CPU from the 13900* SKUs. K or not doesn't matter as long as it's one with the 8P+16E […]

These passages from a transcript of the hearing where this all went down convey the judge’s distress and shock at the DoJ prosecutors’ misconduct in the grand jury and then their effort to cover it up and hide it from her. 5/5

[link to AI slop] Occasionally boosters will claim that all the trivially reproducible errors ("R"s in strawberry, full wine glass) are all solved, and I need to demonstrate that this is not the case. It's annoying that this keeps happening without any fundamental progress, but in case you need […]

We are in the dumbest, darkest timeline.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@bagder/116599713949044164 Unfortunately Daniel Stenberg's talk on how to manage a critical open source infrastructure under the AI-accelerated deluge of vulnerability reports turned into a practical demonstration of how to do it, and we hope to announce a new […]

Well, that was awesome. Senators and MPs and their staffers, learning about space debris and satellite pollution from 3 Canadian professors. I hope it makes some difference in saving the night sky (and the atmosphere, and being able to continue using Low Earth Orbit...) Thank you @Paulatics for […]

OK, I asked a while back about people using #dos. Are there people out there writing code on DOS? What version of DOS and what languages? What are some good hashtags for reaching a DOS developer community? #retrocomputing

Euroluna operated on a tiny budget and devised an extraordinary method of landing. Their very small cubesat spacecraft would use an ion engine to cruise slowly to the Moon, brake into orbit and descend to a low orbit. Eventually it would separate into two parts linked by a tether and would be […]

I didn't manage to stay up until full astronomical darkness last night (which starts about midnight and is very short) but hey, there WERE auroras! And a shit-ton of bright satellites. As always. But the stars are still there, looking beautiful, behind the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A number of you have been wondering about the progress of my library relocation project. After a year of very slow progress behind the scenes, things are starting to move. The new library space is in Bromley, south of London; the waterproofing of the space is now complete

New: The liberal billionaire @tomsteyerhq.bsky.social's campaign has been paying influencers to champion his run for California governor - and many are doing so without disclosure. One big TikToker, who called the 68-year-old a "vibe," didn't mention he'd been paid $10,000 wapo.st/4twTpOh

tv software is the great equalizer. you could buy a $200 walmart tv or a $2500 LG and you’ll still get ads in there and a hard button on the remote to some streaming service that won’t exist in a year

#SCOTUS has posted a new version of Justice Alito’s mifepristone dissent that replaces the awkwardly revealing typo with just a dumb typo. There’s a HIPAA joke here somewhere, except it’s not funny: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Ugh, something is freaking eating my lunch with network costs for media from Mastodon. And GCP media hosting via cloud buckets doesn't seem to have any great ways to filter that / figure out if it's from AI scrapers or something else (and do anything about it if I could figure that out). Any […]

Stopping the system fans to heat up the system to shift clock phase by a few femtoseconds is one of the less hinged ideas I’ve seen come out of CERN lol. (AFAIU this was an experiment for a software retrofit to hardware otherwise incapable of such adjustments)

This is part of the larger phenomenon of “savvy makes you stupid.” Yes, politicians have always spun, exaggerated, cherry picked. But constant fabrication utterly unmoored from reality? No, not really. Insisting Trump is nothing new is ignorance masquerading as worldliness.
