【健之堂艾草足貼特約】在日本有一群同名同姓的「田中宏和」(Tanaka Hirokazu)組成獨特社群,不僅定期聚會交流,甚至一度創下「全球最大同名同姓聚會」的健力士世界紀錄。雖然最新一次聚會未能再度打破紀錄,但參加者笑言「共享同名已是一種緣分」。

這個有趣的團體由召集人田中宏和於2004年成立。當時他在東京某公司任職,偶然遇上一位同名同姓的設計師同事,因而萌生「集合所有田中宏和」的念頭。由於日本姓名漢字讀音可有不同版本,「宏和」這一組合與「博和」、「弘和」、「裕和」等皆不同,因此該群組成員的確是名實相符的「同名同姓」。

創辦初期,田中宏和曾與8位同名好友一同旅行,笑稱:「如果旅遊巴出事,新聞就會報道9名田中宏和失蹤。」多年來,他們愈聚愈多,並在2022年召集178位成員,成功獲健力士認可為「最大型的同名同姓聚會」。不過,一年後該紀錄被塞爾維亞256位名為Milica Jovanovic的人打破。

Software is a collection of ideas and decisions that a person has turned into a machine.

When it turns out that person has repulsive, noxious and dehumanizing ideas, it is entirely reasonable to not want the machines they've made in your life, or the decisions they've made affecting your life.

It is entirely reasonable to object to their being part of communities you care about, and to object to their ideas and decisions being normalized or valorized.

Nothing about this is complicated.

미국, 달착륙에 스타쉽 안쓸지도 모른다?

미 정부가 유인 달착륙에 스페이스X 말고도 블루 오리진도 검토중이라고.

이유는 ‘개발이 너무 느리다’(??)

NASA의 계획에 따르면 27년 예정인 아르테미스 3호 프로젝트로 유인 달착륙이 목표인뎉 스페이스X가 지금같은 개발 속도로는 일정에 맞추기 어려울 것우로 판단, 일정 압박용으로 이원화 카드를 꺼낸듯 합니다.

특히 중국도 같은 목표로 달리고 있어서 더욱 초조한데다 트럼프 임기내 성과도 중하니 이해는 가는데…

지금 스페이스X - 블루 오리진 기술 격차가 비교 가능한 수준인건가…?🤔 잘 이해가 안되네요 ㅋㅋ게다가 ’느리다‘니😂😂 머스크 긁으려고 일부러 이러는거?

달을 ‘찍먹’하는 정도가 아닌 ‘거점 건설’까지 염두에 두어야 한다면 반드시 스타십을 사용해야할 것인데, 너무 무리수를 두는건 아닌지…ㅋ

Eigentlich, denke ich, ist das Skalierungsproblem des Winterkongresses gelöst.

Das CCH war ja voll, und Leipzig war zu verteilt und verlaufen. Ich war nie da, aber die Leute, die ich höre, fanden die Location doof. Obwohl das Team das angeblich ganz okay gestaltet hat – die Möglichkeiten sind ja auch viel besser als im CCH – das Team hat immer ein Auge darauf gehabt, auch leise Zonen für Intros und Autis zu bauen, wo man sitzen und reden konnte.

Dennoch ist Leipzig nicht angenommen worden. Leipzig ist aber die Keimzelle des neuen, skalieren Post-Congress gewesen – das sind die Sommercamps, also das vom CCC, aber auch die ganzen Hacks und Easterheggs und dergleichen. Das skaliert viel besser, weil es draußen ist und damit offen, und weil es warm ist. Ein Problem des Winterkongresses war ja immer der Winter.

Die Camps passen auch viel besser zur aktuellen Preapokalypse. Hacker üben preppen. Viele sind eh KatS und dergleichen.

Das ist auch ein Grund, warum der Winterkongress ins CCH zurück will und kann. Das ist aber noch nicht gut verbalisiert – kaum verwunderlich, der Winterkongress hat seine Intentionen wenn überhaupt nur in einer Retro verbalisieren können.

Aber der Winterkongress hat sich schon immer verändert und muß das nun wieder tun und herausfinden, was seine Aufgabe ist.

Die aktuelle Diskussion zeigt das in gewisser Weise. Es geht ja nicht um den Ticketverkauf wie sonst immer, sondern um den Enterprise-Zugang zu Tickets und wie man das macht (oder Firmen beibringt).

Das ist ein gutes Zeichen.

In den USA war das Dreieck Staat – Firmen – Hacker ja immer gut vernetzt und es gab kaum Abgrenzung bis zu dem Punkt wie die NSA offen auf Hackerevents rekrutiert hat.

Das war in DE strukturell nie machbar, und das ist gut so und sollte so bleiben. Jedenfalls vorerst und mit den aktuellen Regierungstendenzen.

Aber Deutschland ist echt behindert, weil in den Verwaltungen und bei den Entscheidern zu wenig Techniker sitzen. Also, es braucht mehr konstruktive Interaktion zwischen Staat, Firmen und der aktuellen Hackeranarchie. Und weniger Hackerparagraf, also generell Akzeptanz und Kooperation von Firmen- und Staats-Seite. Denn ohne diese Demographie kommt DE nie im Leben auf einen grünen Zweig, was IT angeht.

Wie dem auch sei, wie jedes Jahr sehen wir eine Kongress-Ticket Diskussion, aber dieses Jahr ist sie anders. Der Winterkongress versucht zu verstehen, was er jetzt ist. Er kann keine Full Spectrum Enterprise-Hackerterrorcybercybershow sein, offensichtlich. Es braucht massig authentische Eingeborene, damit er echt bleibt.

Aber er ist eine "anerkannte Bildungsveranstaltung", und das heißt ein Zugehen auf Enterprises und Verwaltung. Das ist ganz wunderbar und auf eine Weise neu. Die Diskussion zeigt eventuell, daß es einen Weg gibt, bei dem in der Verwaltung und Regierung Nicht-Juristen und Nicht-Verwalterungsfachangestellte Eingang finden und Verbindung halten, auf eine Weise, die weniger defekt ist als bei den Amis. Die ganze Aktion mit OSS in SH, Sovereign Stack und so ist ja auch ein Zeiger in diese Richtung.

Aber wenn man den Thread da oben liest, dann sieht man auch wie unglaublich weh "sich neu erfinden" in einem dezentralisierten Anarchohaufen tut. Auch nicht falsch, man muß das nur aus ausreichend Distanz passieren lassen.

Andererseits ist mein erster Winterkongress jetzt fast 40 Jahre her – das war im Bürgerhaus, also irgendwann in den späten 80ern noch vor meiner Bundeswehrzeit. Und damit mehr als eine Generation her. Es ist klar, daß so eine Veranstaltung sich verändert hat, verändern muß, damit sie relevant bleibt und es ist ziemlich cool, daß der CCC und der Kongress das generationenübergreifend hin kriegen.

"The United States is waging war on Venezuela. This is not a hypothetical; it is happening.

The Donald Trump administration is using extreme violence to try to overthrow Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro.

The US military has killed dozens of Venezuelans in strikes on boats in international waters without charge or trial. UN experts have publicly condemned these attacks as “extrajudicial executions” that violate international law.

It is not only Venezuelans who have been executed by the US military. Among the victims of these illegal US attacks have been fishermen who were citizens of Colombia and Trinidad and Tobago.

Family members of the victims, from a Trinidadian fishing village, were interviewed by The Guardian, and they condemned Trump for “killing poor people”, arguing that he simply wants to take their “gas and their oil”.

In other words, the Trump administration is killing innocent people from multiple countries as part of its war on Venezuela.

Week by week, Trump is ratcheting up the US war on Venezuela."

지금 방송서버 테스트 중인데 같이 들으실 분. 이 앱 깔아서 제 방송국 접속하면 나오는 듯. 방송명 검색어는 네오. 서치해서 나온 방송 헤더 헤드폰 모양 누르면 음악 나옵니다. 지금 방송 중인 곡들은 제 추억의 애니/게임음악곡들입니다. 리스트 다 날려서 새로 만들어야 하니 신청곡 받아요. (있으면 틈 나오다가 안 나오거나 하면 서버 버퍼링 걸린거니 재접해야 됨.

@AndorianSoupSci Fi Brickyards 🚀 My wife works as Mission Director, and once wore some captain's pips to work, which is fairly unobtrusive really. She broke tradition and picked a command gold blouse with that.

But of course a coworker saw her enter the control room like that, jumped up, and called out "Captain on the bridge!"

That world is full of Star Trek nerds.

(Yeah, OK, I got the pips for her. I admit it.)

copypasta that i just had to rip off of substack. but like, because it's actually good

I really don't understand why people get so mad about pronouns. Sure, the user base can be a bit smug, and not everyone needs, or can afford them, but if you use language a lot the upgrade is definitely worth it. Proverbs are also great (and I think they're planning on releasing pro versions of more word classes soon) although that's mostly because anything is better than getting your verbs interrupted by ads, and I'd rather speak pirate if that was my only other option.

Of course, you get even more flexibility for free with an open source conlang - it's nowhere near as hard as people say (you don't need to compile anything to Chomsky Universal Grammar yourself anymore, unless for some reason you want to), and you won't have to change your workflow much unless you do something crazy like jump straight into a minimalist Pirahã based distro, or commit to hours of debugging aethyrs whenever the latest channelling broke something just so you can comment "I use Enochian btw" everywhere (I use Enochian btw).

The support for language games is also much better now than it used to be, particularly after Wittgenstein was open sourced in 2022, although there can still be compatibility issues with utterances made in proprietary language (not to be confused with private language, which was thing used by IBM back in the day, for single-user systems with no networking support, and definitely not Wittgenstein compliant).

As for the security benefits, a lot of it really comes down to using a separate "subject of enunciation" for low-level access and administrative tasks. Of course, imperative mode escalation ("Voice of Command", "7th Function") attacks are still possible, but under normal circumstances they're really more of a theoretical curiosity than anything you need to worry about, unless you plan on getting on the bad side of entities like the NSA or Académie Française (In which case; Solution: Magical amulets? Fake your own death, move into a submarine? You're still gonna get Académie Française'd upon).

Most users will be perfectly safe as long as they keep their True Name - i.e. the first-person declension of their root morpheme - secret, and don't incorporate any suspicious, pseudo-linguistic nonsense from anonymous blog comments into their world model (and even then, you're far more likely to get bricked by a basilisk than Snow Crashed in the colloquial sense of taken over and remotely controlled by an attacker).

Also, and I know this is a meme and hopefully nothing anyone takes seriously, but: if you're running anything English based, DO NOT remove French "to save space" ("to spare room"?) - it will break all kinds of critical dependencies, 1066 and all that.

식품의약품안전처의 임신중지 의약품 허가가 지연되는 가운데 온라인에서 해당 약품의 불법 판매가 꾸준히 발생하고 있습니다. 식약처는 “법 개정 없이도 관련 의약품을 허가할 수 있다”는 법률 자문을 여러차례 받았는데도 “법 개정 이후 추진하겠다”라는 입장을 고수하고 있습니다.

임신중지약, 허가 지연 속 불법판매 기승…식약처는 “법...
