Me setting up corp XMPP server a few months ago, noticing this in the config file

  ##   ## Mnesia is limited to 2GB, better to use an SQL backend
  ##   ## For small servers SQLite is a good fit and is very easy
  ##   ## to configure. Uncomment this when you have SQL configured:

Anthropic stole the books I co-wrote in order to train their planet-burning hallucination machine, so I've filed a claim. They wept that if every plagiarised author does so, the company will go bankrupt. Boo emdash hoo. www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com

My new app has now passed 2000 preorders – thank you so much! It’s released in 10 days, and wraps up a range of real-world computing skills in fun “capture the flag” challenges for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Get it here: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/hacktivate-capture-the-flag/id6748286602

We have nothing left but memories. Two years of pain, hunger, deprivation and fear have passed. How long will this continue?

Differential Mode has just landed in lafleur, the CPython JIT fuzzer. It runs the same code with and without the JIT, compares the result, and flags any discrepancies.

It does this while mutating the code in a feedback-guided loop, so it evolves the fuzzing scripts trying to find one where the JIT gives wrong results.

This is actually the 2nd time this feature is implemented (now better and more robust): it used to work, broke, and now is back.

In the run-up to Dutch elections (29 October), it turns out that two Dutch MP's of Wilders' far-right PVV are using Sora AI to generate fake pictures of attractive blond women threatened by migrants. The prompts they used were published in this article.

mastodon really is a website where the people who were there when it was written come to get the deep magic cited to them

I happen to own a little open source software company that is expressly anti-fascist, has a “No AI” policy, and has recently been called “aggressively queer” in case you’re interested in supporting tech companies like that:

Good morning Fediverse.

I build something playground page of comments. I tested it with mastodon.social and it worked.

I'm aware of the entire thing still having a gazillion issues, e.g. I need to clean up the actor owning the page. I'm unsure if this actor should have followers. I'm unsure who to notify of new comments. I need to implement some replies, context, likes, shares, collections. I need to display more stuff in the JS, and pass it through the API. I need to properly publish the OpenAPI interfaces.

Aside from this, I think this is a somewhat clean technical implementation of adding comments to a static site using well the Fediverse. This is the mkdocs.yml file. I also need to whitelist the site, so it would be "registration + adding a plugin" if it was a commercial product. So it's pretty cool.

My problem with optimism, or, rather, #TechnoOptimism, is that it's always framed with the message "if you give the people who control your lives a chance, it'll all work out."

That's not optimism. That submission.

起きた。

Today, I have slightly improved my 6502 CPU emulator by allowing to trace the kind of memory access on the memory bus during the fetching, decoding and execution of an instruction, which is pretty cool for debugging / tracing purpose (and potentially to help relocate SID files!) ✨

Ever leave a green banana in the break room before the holidays? You didn't know it would get rotten and stink up the space, and release fruit flies that will take forever to deal with. But having seen that once you know that's a problematic outcome and you remove or isolate future bananas.

Dudes who react dismissively or negatively to politicization by the vulnerable are prudently viewed as green bananas. The apolitical bro to rightwing shitheel pipeline isn't very leaky. Expect rot and flies.

there are some pedantic differences (useEffect stores stuff on an internal node using a global pointer rather than as a returned monad. but it could’ve been a monad with almost no change to the API. just runtime overhead we don’t want.) and ofc JS has no built-in monads for fetch etc

昼夜逆転してるけどおやすみなさい

おはよーございます

for example some people do data fetching in useEffect. effects don’t execute when the component is called, they’re just stored for later. if you allow yourself enough of a conceptual leap, it’s like the IO monad.

A few months ago, MS informed me that my 365 subscription fee was increasing $30 to cover the cost of Copilot. I could downgrade to "classic 365," without the lie machine, and keep the same fee.

I downgraded. Because not only am I not paying for the lie machine, my business makes Copilot inherently non-useful.

Just got an email from MS. The cost of my classic 365 subscription is going up $30.

I suspect many people rejected the forced upgrade, so now they're just saying "screw you."

As I get older I’ve concluded, ‘everything is basically either a cult or a database’. I will not be explaining

God stop trying to tell me about the problems with X11, I worked at SUN FUCKING MICROSYSTEMS
