By the way, if the odd device in this video interests you, a few days afterward Reid dropped an hourlong documentary video about the Buchla Touché. I haven't watched it yet, but doing some Google research, it appears the actual majority of all existing information on the Internet about the Touché comes from this 2026 video.
Questions I assume it answers:
- How similar is this to the later Buchla 400, etc?
- What happened to the other three units, besides the one in the museum in Vancouver?

ヒロのベーコンは照れないんだよなぁ…
By request from a Minneapolis protester, I created a couple of whistles that easily clip to your jacket hood or shirt lapel for hands-free operation. This is my first published 3D model, and a remix of a great loud AF whistle. Stay warm, and stay safe!
I'm open to feedback and would love to make a useful tool that helps in the fight.

Catching up on the last few years of generative ML.
(Pixelwise) average a bunch of pictures of dogs and you get something so blurry it probably doesn't look like a dog. But take lots of random paths from cats to dogs, take the vectors along those paths, average them out to define a vector field in the ambient space, and integrate to get paths, and now you have paths that go from cats to dogs without blur. It's bizarre that something so simple is incredibly powerful.
(It's even weirder than that because this method is sort of self-sacrificing. You can use it to generate pairs that can be used to train a conventional neural net to convert cats to dogs without blur. You don't need to mention the paths or vectors after that.)
(Caveat: I haven't tested specifically on the problem of converting cats to dogs, that's just an illustrative example, but I'm 99% sure it'd work fine.)

I really, almost pathologically hate wasting food, but now that my son’s d&d group have all turned 13 I basically get a weekly visit from a pack of hyenas, so it’s not really a problem these days.

In parts of Victoria and South Australia, overpopulation of koalas is leading to defoliation and starvation. It’s part of a paradoxical threat facing the marsupial across Australia: in the north-eastern states, koala numbers are declining, but in parts of southern Australia, the animals are eating themselves out of house and home.

In einer Großstadt in NRW. Nächster passender Bankautomat ist eine halbe Stunde Fahrzeit entfernt. Im Bistro nur Barzahlung. Krame Portemonnaie hervor und brabbel noch, könnte eng werden, wohlwissend, dass meine letzte Abhebung ein paar Tage her ist. Der Besitzer: „Zahlst Du einfach morgen.“ Letztlich hatte mein Bargeld gerade noch ausgereicht, ich war aber trotzdem dankbar für das Angebot.

An absolutely brilliant long form article by Richard David Hames. It’s so, so good.
Some curated quotes:
Donald Trump is not an interruption of the American story; he is one of its clearest chapters. He condenses habits that long predate him—mythmaking, extraction, spectacle, racial hierarchy, masculine anxiety—into a single, gaudy figure. To look at him carefully is to see the civilisation that made him.
The United States was founded on a dazzling contradiction: “all men are created equal,” written by men who owned other humans. Its history since has been a choreography of grand ideals and systematic betrayal. One response to this tension has been hypocrisy—keeping the language of virtue while quietly doing the opposite. Another response, Trump’s response, is to drop the mask.
mnpol general strike
Is what we're doing today in MN even a "strike"? On the face of it, probably not; it's more of a one-day protest and show of solidarity.
Regardless of what the historians decide about this moment, the use of the work is a significant shift in of itself. Previously, it was a unthinkable, even socially taboo, subject. And it's one that hasn't really happened in 100 years in the whole of the US.
And yet, it's happening.

@ploum , je me suis plongé dans "Efficient Linux at the Command Line", un ouvrage technique (et sûrement abscons si on n'est pas coutumier de l'OS au 🐧) dont les premiers chapitres se dévorent comme un bon roman. Les exemples de commandes en une ligne m'ont moins convaincu, mais l'ensemble reste un must pour découvrir la toute puissance de la ligne de commande !!!

WE STAPPEN NAAR DE RECHTER VANWEGE DE OVERNAME VAN DIGID-LEVERANCIER SOLVINITY
Experts en belangenbehartigers vragen de rechter in Den Haag om een voorlopige voorziening tegen het besluit van het Bureau Toetsing Investering (BTI) namens de minister van Economische Zaken en Klimaat om geen informatie te verstrekken over het toetsingsproces.
De groep belangenbehartigers – bestaande uit Esther van Egerschot, Maxim Februari, Felienne Hermans, Bert Hubert, Joris Luyendijk, Caroline Nevejan, Reijer Passchier, Jelle Postma, Sander Schimmelpenninck, Eric Smit, Karin Spaink, Marleen Stikker, Kees Verhoeven, de stichting The Firewall en de stichting Privacy First – stuurde op maandag 12 januari een brandbrief naar BTI. Daarin drongen wij met spoed aan op die informatie inzake de overname van het bedrijf Solvinity Group B.V. (Solvinity) door de Amerikaanse tech-multinational Kyndryl Inc. (Kyndryl), zodat wij als belanghebbende burgers bij dat toetsingsproces betrokken kunnen worden.
Het besluit betreft de weigering van BTI om tijdig te voldoen aan ons urgente verzoek om hierover volledige openheid te geven, met name over de vraag of en hoe deze overname van Solvinity aan de nationale veiligheid wordt getoetst.
Solvinity beheert de infrastructuur achter #DigiD, het systeem waarmee burgers zich digitaal bij allerlei Nederlandse overheidsinstanties kunnen identificeren. DigiD is wettelijk aangemerkt als een dienst die van vitaal belang is voor onze samenleving.
De groep eist daarom openheid van de minister van Economische Zaken over de overname van Solvinity en wil weten welke mededelingen door de minister in het kader van de toetsing aan Solvinity en Kyndryl zijn gedaan en of door de minister al is bepaald dat een toetsingsbesluit is vereist. Indien het toetsingsbesluit al is genomen, eist de groep van de minister daarvan een kopie.

We made so many improvements with #HolosSocial, an ActivityPub server running on your phone. Big thanks to our beta testers who help us identify issues and suggest enhancements.
For tech folks: imagine pointing your domain with a CNAME to a relay and having your own ActivityPub identity with keys and data on your phone. The relay becomes just infrastructure, and you're free to move to another relay whenever you want.
That's the crazy bet we're working on!
