however for things that are more open-ended, i find myself scratching my head. maybe it's my own fault because i picked kind of a meta shaped problem. but i can really see arguments both for splitting it apart into a more neutral thing + a more opinionated wrapper, or just a single thing

IIUC, the Anthropic magic refusal string is checked on inputs, not filtered from training data or outputs? That is, it only is a DoS against Claude malware if you can get a tool backed by Claude to include the test string in its prompts?

I'd love there to be an EICAR-test-string-level "break this malware" button, but that's not what the magic refusal string is?

like, for bluesky, it makes sense that the concept of posts has to be bundled with the application. it's literally determined by where the application "goes". it's product-driven development, which makes total sense and it's great we finally have an open protocol actually supporting that

예전에는 CPU 버그가 드물었지만, 최근에는 복잡성의 증가로 많이 흔해졌다는 이야기로 시작하는 CPU 버그에 대한 좋은 마스토돈 포스팅. 버그가 어떤 식으로 발생하고 여기에 어떤 식으로 준비/대처하는지에 대해 자세히 이야기를 해준다. 습관적으로 마스토돈에 들어갔다가 상당히 흥미롭고 깊이있는 이야기를 발견해서 기뻤다. 주소는 여기

예전에 lwn.net 에서 본 What every programmer should know about memory가 생각났다. Static RAM 과 Dynamic RAM 의 속도차이는 왜 어떻게 발생하는 것일까에 대해 아주 오랫동안 궁금해하던 것을, 회로도를 통해서 직관적으로 이해할 수 있게 해줘서 굉장히 (...인생에서 가장 기뻤던 순간 중 손에 꼽을 정도였다.) 기뻤던 기억이 아직도 난다.

로우레벨 컴퓨팅에 대한 이야기는 내 정신 저 밑바닥에 있는 "아니 그러니까 왜냐고?!" 의 욕망을 크게 해결해주는 경향이 있어서 좋아한다.

그리고 마스토돈의 기본 웹 클라이언트는 브라우저들이 번역을 정말 잘 못한다-_-; 웹페이지의 기본 언어가 브라우저 언어로 맞추어져 보여지고, 그래서 번역할 필요가 없다고 브라우저가 판단해서 그런 것 같다고 이해하고 있는데 이 문제 어떻게 해결할 방법이 없을까 흠 ' -' ...

RE: event-federation.eu/event/fosd

Last week, I had an online meeting with the developers of , and . We either found out that we had already planned our trip to this year's or were thinking about it. We spontaneously proposed a last-minute BOF, and I'm glad it was accepted. See you in Brussels! :) @fosdem

And directly afterwards there is the @nlnet meet and greet, great timing! :)

“Whenever you’re confronted by a bully like Donald Trump, if you think by keeping your head down and being quiet, being sweet, nice, that he’s not gonna stomp all over you, you are wrong,” said MN Attorney General Keith Ellison. “The only solution is to stand up, fight back, and protect your own.”

Beim Umstieg auf "souveräne Software" habe ich mich oft gefragt, wer steht eigentlich hinter einem Projekt. Ich hab da mal in 2h was gevibecoded, mit dem man eine bessere Idee davon bekommt, aus welchem Land ein Projekt überwiegend kommen könnte. Source Code ist auf Codeberg ;) Ohne Gewähr.

i have a very silly python script that replaces the following words in the mastodon UI:

  • toot, post -> shit
  • boost -> yeet
  • publish -> toot (no, i don't know why this is here. it doesn't seem to have an effect.)

if you're thinking this sounds drastically unfunny, you'd be right. it stopped being funny a few days after i implemented it circa 2021. however, i keep it around because paradoxically, the less funny and more immature it seems, and the more it annoys me, the more i find it "meta-funny", in a "ha-ha, i'm annoying myself on purpose" kind of way.

with all of that in mind: the script predates the quote toot feature. what should i rename "quote" to in the UI?

(i am NOT going to rename it "quit" as a portmanteau of quote + shit for obvious reasons)
