In simple terms, once again, why you can stick your “” (more precisely: and ) up to where the sun doesn't shine. None of this is unclear, everything has long been publicly known and documented:

” is a speculative bubble that causes massive damage to the and ; cheats people out of the wages for their labor and their art; contaminates and corrupts the acquisition, maintenance, and dissemination of knowledge like microplastics, not even stopping at your brains; and financially yields several orders of magnitude less than it costs. It is not even remotely viable on its own and ultimately hopes for permanent financing through the squandering of taxpayer money, as soon as “the market” has had enough of fuzzy promises of "returns", and no longer wants to “invest.”

You like “AI” because it produces plausible-sounding and plausible-looking bullshit and because you have learned in the 21st century that you can get away with it, provided you don't give a damn about future generations. In the end, you'll be left without even a hint of the illusion that immense amounts of money have been wasted here on something “systemically important,” as was the case last time.

2026년 달력을 넘기다 보면 특이한 모양의 달이 나타나는데요. 바로 달력 모양이 직사각형을 이룬 2월 달력입니다. 올해 2월은 한 주가 시작되는 첫날인 일요일에서 시작해 한 주를 마감하는 토요일에 마지막 날을 맞기까지 모든 요일이 네번씩 돌아옵니다. 달력 모양이 네모 반듯하다고 해서 ‘완벽한 달’이라고 부르기도 합니다.

first world problems, FOSDEM apparel

Oh no! I just unpacked and tried on the sweatshirt. It's a different hue of green than on the site (olive), the writing is HUGE compared to my mockup so I need to stretch it out to get the message read, and lower on the sweatshirt. In short, a fail.

I used to create custom apparel at a local shop (always support your local artisans) but it went out of business after COVID, sigh.

I need to find a new one before FOSDEM. I'm on a mission to get this made 🥲

I've been using this exact distinction for a while now. Since Korean, my native language, has distinct terms for the system (런타임), the point in time (實行時(실행 시)), and the duration (實行時間(실행 시간)), using a single spelling for all three in English always felt a bit blurry to me. This spelling convention helps bridge that gap and makes technical writing much more precise.

Personally, I find the meaning as indicated by Google's style guide the most clear, combined with an explicit case for hyphenation:

Runtime: use the system meaning. E.g. “the runtime was updated last week,” or “I'm using version 21 of the Java runtime.”

Run-time: use the moment meaning, but only when used in the adjective position. E.g. “run-time instrumentation is useful for finding bugs.”

Run time: use the duration meaning. E.g. “the run time was reduced by 5%,” or “a run time of five minutes is unacceptable.” In addition, when you want to use the moment meaning, but not as an adjective, this form should also be used. E.g. “typechecking happens at run time in our implementation.”

Sounds scary!

arstechnica.com/security/2026/

However, warning signs this is sensationliased scaremongering:

  1. Published by Ars Technica.
  2. Ars does not mention anything about how this scary malware is supposed to infect machines.
  3. The researchers' blog post does not mention anything about how this scary malware is supposed to infect machines.
  4. The underlying "research paper" does not mention anything about how this scary malware is supposed to infect machines.
  5. The report is from a "security company" who just so happens to sell a product that mitigates this scary malware that doesn't seem to have a way to infect machines.

$99 BeaglePlay Board Achieves "100% Open-Source" Upstream PowerVR Graphics

Going back many years Imagination PowerVR graphics were widely despised by open-source enthusiasts and Linux desktop users for their lack of an open-source GPU driver. But over the past few years the Imagination PowerVR driver focused on their Rogue graphics IP has matured nicely within the Linux kernel and the PowerVR Vulkan driver in Mesa taking shape too. Paired with Zink for OpenGL over Vulka…

이런 사실을 안 이광우 당시 경호본부장은 101단을 "배신자들"이라 칭하며 분노했는데, 부하직원들에 "다음에 오면 경찰에게 총을 쏘라"는 발언까지 한 것으로 파악됐습니다. 출동 거부에 더해 당시 101단장은 1차 영장집행 실패 다음날 경찰 특공대 철수를 결정했습니다. www.yonhapnewstv.co.kr/news/MYH2026...

I mentioned finishing this book [1] recently. The book also had a final short section on the author's methodology which in some ways was as interesting as the rest of the book.

Basically, don't trust what people say, even the people who were there!

For example three participants in the early days of RPGs gave three different accounts of the introduction of polyhedral dice into wargames. In the end Peterson reconstructed what history he could from articles Gygax wrote at the time.

Anyway, from now on this will completely change how I read any book called "An oral history of...". I mean, I already knew that personal accounts of events a mere 10 or 20 years ago can be very unreliable, but it was good to see actual examples in writing.

It wasn't part of my original plan, but at 110mi so far for January, I seem to find myself cycling outdoors through winter again. I'm probably too locked into it at this point to stay inside, so maybe it will end up being a good jump on spring cycling.

My partner and I visited Norway and hiked (a surprisingly short hike) to a place called Litlefjellet -This was the view!
Litlefjellet, Norwegian for ‘Little Mountain’, is the name of the center mountain. Plus, we found the iconic pond that perfectly reflects the whole scene.
I loved it so much that I decided to make it into wood art! I hope you love it, too

🌘 為什麼有些衣服洗了會縮水?以及如何讓它們「恢復原狀」
➤ 纖維的「記憶」:從分子層次解析衣物縮水的科學真相
swinburne.edu.au/news/2025/08/
許多人在洗滌心愛的衣物後,常會面臨縮水的慘劇,即使嚴格遵守洗滌標示也難以倖免。這背後的關鍵在於紡織纖維的「科學記憶」。棉、麻等天然纖維在製造過程中,必須經過機械強力的拉伸與定型,並透過化學氫鍵將纖維分子固定在平整的狀態。然而,洗滌時的水分、熱能與攪動會釋放這些鎖定的張力,使纖維回歸原始的捲曲型態。本文將深入探討紡織結構的科學原理,幫助讀者從源頭理解縮水現象,並掌握修復衣物的科學邏輯。
+ 這篇文章解釋得很清楚,以前只知道不能用熱水洗,現在終於明白是分子層面的氫鍵在作怪。
+ 原來衣服縮水只是它「想回家」回到原始狀態而已,看來以後洗羊毛和棉麻織品要更溫柔一點了。

"대선 기간 헤리티지 재단이 주도한 2기 집권 청사진 ‘프로젝트 2025’의 핵심 내용 역시 기존 법원, 언론, 연방정부로 대변되는 이른바 ‘행정국가(Administrative State)’ 해체였다. 냇콘은 이들 기성 엘리트 집단을 ‘내부의 적’으로 규정하고, 수만 명에 이르는 충성파로 관료 조직을 교체해야 한다고 주장한다. 이 과정에서 발생할 극심한 내부 혼란과 저항을 제압하기 위해 군사력의 본토 회귀가 필수적이라는 계산이다." 워낙 음모론 기반 사고방식인데 실제로 일어나고 있으니. 윤석열이 말하는 반국가세력하고 싱크로되죠.
