TBQH there is no part of modern digital infrastructure that's particularly strong and sturdy. It's a full-on house of cards.

This is exactly the kind of thing that corruption will get you. Saudis bankroll Trump's crypto coins, Saudis get advanced fighter jets.

Turns out you can communicate across containers via 63-bits of available space in a shared lock you acquire on /proc/self/ns/time that all processes have access to. No networking required. The post has a demo of a chat app communicating across unprivileged containers. h4x0r.org/funreliable/

I'm not sure what Turing test folks use when talking to LLMs but they are instantly recognisable as machines to me. Not the least reason being that they can't give responses less than 200 words.

It really sounds like they thought "people will switch because we are big-company Amazon" when it's more like "users will only use Amazon products if there is absolutely no viable alternative".

I don't buy the AI narrative around prosperity for all. There is plenty of money to go around yet it tends to flow to the top. I can't imagine a world where those in control of AI, assuming it actually works, will resist charging an ever increasing subscription fee cementing the haves and have nots.

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more: adventofcode.com/2025/about#f... adventofcode.com/2025/about#f...

I just continue to see really disappointing results from AI tools. Gemini just analyzed my home power consumption spreadsheet and told me that I've made nearly $650k in power generation from the solar panels on my house so far. Um, no.

"This economy right now is being driven by spending from the top 20% of Americans. So that dividing line is roughly $175,000. Families that earn above that mark are living la vida loca. ... And the rest of America, the bottom 80%, are being cautious right now." youtu.be/xgQlAZ3uTYY

I really feel like there is a kind of "ethics doesn't matter" nihilism at the top to mirror the "it doesn't matter what I do, the world will still suck and I'll still be poor" nihilism on the bottom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz0o...

If there is anything that I think would help me with persuasion and social interaction, it's being more entertaining. I tend to focus almost exclusively on competency and in social situations that often gets you nowhere.

What I love is how even if it gets 90% of the way there but fails on the last 10%, it'll do a `git reset` and dump 100% of its progress.
