Reached this year's goal of 6000 km bicycling just in time before we get the first snow here in Stockholm, Sweden. Counting down the last 30 km in the cold was kind of tough and sweet at the same time. For some reason, my toes got cold, but I did not want to give up before reaching the goal. At the same time, I was super content to keep the level of bicycling for many years now. I wonder how much longer it will last.
https://blog.lauramichet.com/thoughts-about-interfaces-acting-like-people it's honestly not hard to imagine a world where people are legally forbidden from selling software or hardware that refers to itself in the first person or is referred to as a person by any supporting materials (eg marketing), and where the intent embodied in such software is always explicitly attributed to the human beings who produce it and set its policies. i don't think that would fix everything but it'd help. that's a moderate position IMO.

I have autocompletion on the command line for git branch names, tag names, commit hashes... basically any commits or named commit pointers.
A lot of my working branches start with my username, "dariusk"
Sometimes I get very lazy and type "git checkout da" and then tab for autocomplete and get a list of every commit hash starting with "da"
Some solutions: have a different username. Have a different first name. Type more than two characters before hitting the autocomplete.

Fucking GROSS.
So because »gestures at this timeline«, the first appliance from Cory Doctorow's ( 
@pluralisticCory Doctorow ) "Unauthorized Bread" is now on the market. A 'smart oven' you buy and subscribe to the company's meals, which bear a QR code you scan so the oven, amidst its ongoing datastream to the mothership, 'knows' how to cook it. The company, which I will not name (and you please won't either), claim you can use the oven to cook your own food, too. But you have to have their app and a wifi connection to set it up and to operate most of its controls, which means at any moment the company can go "lolnope" or put controls (or the ability to cook unauthorized food) behind a paywall, or brick the thing deliberately, or sell your food logs, or do any of the other things Doctorow described better than I, which is why I've linked the story here.

* Language mode: 5/6
* Approachable concurrency: yes/no

Tech workers!
Open Source now powers just about every technology out there.
If you find yourself in that magical position of having more money than time to donate, please reach out to the projects you use and the projects you love.
The global to do list ranging from coding to documentation and more is endless but we all do our part.
I can guide you on OpenZFS, bhyve, and several aspects of FreeBSD.

@futurebirdmyrmepropagandist if our rods are sensitive in a different bit of the spectrum, why aren't we using them as additional colour information? Something to do with their sensitivity or where they are located?
@guigsyDave Mc @futurebirdmyrmepropagandist rods are only sensitive at low levels of light. they deactivate at the light levels cones are sensitive at, so it’s hard to get them to activate at the same time
it is possible though- if you’ve ever been in a dimly lit room with an alarm clock with a red light display, and noticed how the vision of the room doesn’t quite line up with the red lights.. like it’s… lagging! that’s your rods responding at a different rate from your red cones

Then I remembered, oh right, I literally released a tool for this last month! ActivityPub Fuzzer to the rescue.
I legit thought "primary colors" were like prime numbers but colors.
That name is NOT helping.
@futurebirdmyrmepropagandist right, if we’re talking like prime numbers, colors do not really exist out in reality. What we have is wavelengths of light with wavelengths between 400 and 700nm, what we call the “visible spectrum”, and cells that have “response curves”, the lines here represent how much each type of cell is stimulated by each wavelength of light in the continuum
we end up with “primaries” because the whole range of wavelengths under the curve all creates the same signal in our visual plane- so we can simulate the perception of all the wavelengths using only a few, in proportions. level of stimulus; S, M and L are as close to “real” primaries

🌘 我再也受不了 AI 預測內容了
➤ 來自一位 AI 工程師的肺腑之言：別再用千篇一律的預測淹沒我們了！
✤ https://verdikapuku.com/posts/i-am-just-so-sick-of-ai-prediction-content/
作者對充斥網路、充斥著關於人工智慧（AI）將如何改變各行各業的預測性文章感到厭倦。他認為，這些文章缺乏新意，多半是為了塑造個人前瞻性形象而產生的，並未提供實際的洞見或實驗性的數據。他呼籲創作者產出更具體、更深入探討 AI 實際應用與影響的文章，而非僅是空泛的未來預測。
+ 完全同意！每天滑手機都在看 AI 什麼時候會取代誰，看了就煩。希望作者的呼籲能讓大家思考產出更有價值的內容。
+ 雖然我理解作者的感受，但有時候這些預測文章也是引導大家關注新技術的一種方式吧？不過，確實需要更多像作者建議那樣，結合實際案例的討論。

There are so many good tapes though
