Italy was wonderful. If you would tell me that I will fall in love with Italy, I would probably call a doctor and let you hospitalize in a mental asylum. Ferrara changed my mind and I spent probably the best week of my life here.

Idle thoughts about computer life. So in the last two days, I tried Safari, as opposed to Firefox, because it is more (memory) efficient.

Indeed it is.

But otherwise everything is worse for my particular experience.

And, ignoring the limitations, it feels like a foreign land with everything, including simple things, more difficult. To give a trivial example, if you hover over link in Firefox, you see its url, and this is not available in Safari. And many other things, including ad block, and more, are much worse in Safari, even after spending a lot of time trying to get them done by googling a lot.

So I will use more ram instead of more brain (and time!), and will continue to use Firefox on my Mac.

Sure, the Boomers got sex, drugs and rock-'n'-roll while we got abstinence, Nancy Reagan and the PMRC. But, we got to be out of our skulls in the basement of an abandoned building at three AM, surrounded by fog machines and strobe lights dancing to James Brown is Dead. So I'm going to call it a wash.

this is fucked up and bullshit and one of my pet peeves: employers should not be demanding you use your personal communications equipment.

oldbytes.space/@feoh/115215401

if you do, you should be able to easily deduct that as a job expense, but that would entail for workers to know all the convoluted tax codes.

this sacking of his wife after 25 years and remotely disabling her phone is purely abusive ―the exact sort of sadism and stochastic violence that fascists have been encouraging at scale.

Feoh (@feoh@oldbytes.space)

This is a Dystopian timeline: My wife was let go after 25 years working for the same bank this morning. In an apparent oops, the bank's IT department hard wiped ALL her IOS devices remotely, while she was on the road driving, relying on the GPS function. The screw you cherry on top? Our apartment building in its infinite wisdom a couple years back switched all building locks to the Latch app. So she was LOCKED OUT OF OUR HOUSE. Oh, and the Latch maintained intercom at our front door is out of order. Thanks for that. Sheesh.

How Container Filesystem Works: Building a Docker-like Container From Scratch | iximiuz Labs

Learn how Linux containers are built from the ground up. Starting with the mount namespace and a root filesystem, see why PID, cgroup, UTS, and network namespaces naturally follow - and how this foundation makes concepts like bind mounts, volumes, and persistence in Docker or Kubernetes much easier to grasp.

FYI local authorities say a National Gaurd training excersize will be taking place today and tomorrow 10am to 2pm in Seattle's White Center neighborhood.

The drill is claimed to be planned between WA National Guard and the Seattle Fire Department and local first responders say the low flying helicopters are NOT working in conjunction with any Trump immigration raids etc.

Put plainly, you should feel bad for using AI.
Yes.

From https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-51/the-intellectual-situation/large-language-muddle/


Large Language Muddle | The Editors

The AI upheaval is unique in its ability to metabolize any number of dread-inducing transformations. The university is becoming more corporate, more politically oppressive, and all but hostile to the humanities? Yes — and every student gets their own personal chatbot. The second coming of the Trump Administration has exposed the civic sclerosis of the US body politic? Time to turn the Social Security Administration over to Grok. Climate apocalypse now feels less like a distant terror than a fact of life? In three years, roughly a tenth of US energy demand will come from data centers alone.

A new quantum sensor can detect tiny vibrations, identifying diseased molecules or chemical contaminants. The sensor used infrared light to measure virtual photons, a consequence of quantum uncertainty.

New Quantum Sensor May Help Detect Disease

“Quantum hybrid light-matter states, something often thought of as highly abstract, can actually make molecules easier to detect in practical conditions.”

Newsletter: I spoke to experts across financial regulation, gambling, and election law about prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket. They claim to be trading platforms, they look like gambling sites, and the rules don’t fit.

citationneeded.news/prediction

Prediction markets are booming. Oversight is barely there.

Prediction markets once lived on the academic fringe. Now they’re trading billions on politics, sports, and celebrity gossip — under rules never designed for retail gamblers.

I am working on a binary tree class for one of my algorithms class. I have gone a little off the rails and implemented generators for the different tree traversal techniques.

One thing I don't like though is all the redundancy. All of these generators are essentially the same but just the order in which nodes and trees are evaluated is changed. Is there anyway to simplify the code or reduce the redundancy?

Python snippet that shows the implementation of tree traversal algorithms for inorder, preorder, postorder, and level-order
