What I'm listening to today: "18 12 2025 Techno jam", RM1_music

One Syntakt sequencer, one Microfreak synthesizer, one phone camera and an immaculate live techno set spanning 3 or 4 distinct "songs" over 12 minutes. The world is full of people who can just sit down with two plastic boxes and dash off a performance like this. I have listened to this like 4 or 5 times since it was posted, which makes me like 10-15% of its 41 views on Youtube

Excellent "background music".

I often hear Americans & rich brits justify buying oversized, polluting vehicles by claiming they need them because they live in the "countryside".

meanwhile in IEEE there's a "why is everything worse about llms now?" piece and it's just someone explaining that his roleplay sessions used to return errors and now it returns lies and platitudes

there's another write up about the html5 vibe coded parser and it's "yeah this is an awful lot of code from this rust project" and it's just

yeah the bits that worked are wholesale lifted from the training set, and then the llm adds bugs in heh

@aralAral Balkan Man, I'm always conflicted w.r.t. "small web": I recently built a small toddler sleep tracker for shared use with my wife. I want to share the result and chose the simplest deployment option imaginable -- a single PHP file.

In these situations I often think of you and wonder why you picked a different route, and what I am missing.

何かよくない事に対してどんな犠牲を払っても対応しようという考えが多数になれば、小さいものから大きいものまで規制の対象になりますからねぇ（良くも悪くも）。

Der Grund, warum RAM viermal so teuer geworden ist, ist, dass eine enorme Menge an RAM, die noch nicht produziert wurde, mit nicht existierendem Geld gekauft wurde, um in GPUs eingebaut zu werden, die ebenfalls noch nicht produziert wurden, um sie in Rechenzentren zu platzieren, die noch nicht gebaut wurden, angetrieben von Infrastrukturen, die vielleicht niemals existieren werden, um eine Nachfrage zu befriedigen, die tatsächlich nicht existiert, und um Profit zu erzielen, der mathematisch unmöglich ist.

If you are depressed about your company buying Microsoft 365 Copilot (the one for Office - I know they have multiple products with the same product name) or Security Copilot, don’t be.

Companies are very good at buying Microsoft products and then never deploying them properly, and/or renewing them without using them.

Enterprise IT is basically a yearly cycle of “do we need to renew this PO?” followed by “I dunno if anybody uses it but just renew it in case they do or politics”.

I finally fixed spherical harmonics rendering in MetalSprocketsGaussianSplats (rendering was working just fine but import was … special)…

I've also added multi-splat support (load multiple splat files in one scene) - which is hard because you don't want to just dumbly concatenate the splats - so am using argument buffers to do it efficiently.

Age verification won't magically keep young people safer online, but that didn't prevent governments from spending 2025 implementing or attempting to introduce legislation requiring all online users to verify their ages before accessing the digital space. Here’s three ways we fought back last year. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/age-verification-threats-across-globe-2025-review

Welcome to the #forkiverse , and thanks for setting it up @kevinKevin Roose and @caseynewton !

I used to be a product designer at Twitter and I’ve spent a lot of time trying to follow what’s coming next in social media. I did this talk about a year ago that you might find interesting and inspiring: https://www.arbiter.space/futureofsocialmedia

I appreciate that they’re looking into this but “spicy” mode? Inappropriate. This is literal child porn and very non-consensual sexual harassment, my dudes. Stop trying to be cute.

中午帶著綿羊一起去給我的中文課學生買禮物，她問我：「媽媽為什麼你要給你的學生買禮物，去年我的英語課老師就沒給我買禮物？」
我頓時被她問到了……因為我從來沒有想過這個問題。

我很喜歡孩子，是能把身邊的孩子都照顧到的那種，所以孩子們都很愛來我家；我也喜歡給孩子們制造驚喜（經常買東西要買很多份，因為要送給綿羊的好朋友們）。我的學生自然也是我想要照顧好的孩子。

May 7 Nation Army be the sound of your liberation and may you sprawl a lot of new metal bands, as we in the West have a bit run out of ideas of what to do with a distorted guitar.

The real horror of it all is that we are expected to keep going like nothing happened.

国保逃れをしていたのは兵庫県議の4人だけだったみたいな記者会見をしていたが、実際に判明したのはなんと364人、実に維新の会所属議員の半数近くだそうだ。
　すごいですね〜。こんなのみんな除籍処分してたら維新の会は解党ですな〜。
　そもそもヤクザ弁護士の吉村洋文には職業倫理とか遵法精神とか欠落しとるからこんなことになる。

it's just yeah we've lowered the bar to entry for bad actors and raised the bar for maintaining any open project as a result

and somehow this is going to lead to a revolutionary fully automated paradise heh

sure enough i know enough spiders georg who use an llm responsibly but i am aware of how the rest of the tumblr post goes too

but yeah, hearing "don't worry, i checked every line of code produced" my dude thinking about consequences isn't your forte
