Here's Our First Gemini Deep Think LLM-Assisted Hardware Design
We've been using LLMs for software and firmware for years... now we're trying hardware. Threw a MAX44009 datasheet at Gemini Deep Think, asked for an EagleCAD library file, and about 10 minutes later it popped out working XML. Loaded it in Eagle, checked the pins and dimensions, rolled with it.

(지금 당장은 어렵겠지만 결국은 미국 혹은 어떤 나라가 됬던간에) 정부레벨에서 부의 엄격한 상하한선을 도입하고 0.1% 미만의 정신나간 부자를 탈탈 털어서 정부의 재정을 정상화하는 것이 어찌보면 재정적으로 건전한 정부와 사회를 만들 유일한 해결책이긴한듯... 다만 다시 이렇게 되려면 수십년이 걸리거나 혹은 정신나간 이벤트가 일어나야 가능할듯 ㅠㅠ
How do we clearly communicate to less tech focused people the issues with something like Ring cameras? My mom needs some security cameras so I immediately said “ok we’ll find something but don’t use ring cameras” and she asked if I didn’t think a ring camera could cover the areas she needed. I explained the ICE affiliation and she got it but I wish she had already known. She is still in the twin cities so “no ICE” *is* front of mind.
I would never fall for Scope Creep, in fact, it'll be in my next update.
This Saturday I'm running a YouTube live stream specifically on how to build iOS apps with AI. We'll look at Xcode 26.3, plus Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, agents files and skills, and more. It's going to be packed! Set a reminder here: https://youtube.com/live/sc6pvW6vQzA
Why did it take me >40 years to think to put Cheez-Its in tomato soup?!

If you wouldn't create an account on
Truth Social, maybe it's time to delete your account on X.
I had the chance to rise in Senate QP this week, in the wake of the Grok deep fake scandal, to ask the government, yet again, why it is so committed to X, and so unwilling to try Mastodon or Bluesky. Here’s what I heard. What do you think? https://youtu.be/eVlQBnGqZ_U #cdnpoli #Grok #X #Canada #SenateofCanada #NewBrunswick #Fredericton #Mastodon #deepfakes

A new Croatian law that legalized a #radioactive waste disposal center on the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina is outraging citizens and officials, reported BalkanInsight”

We need a noncommercial AI-free parallel internet curated by librarians.
Created and consulted by humans only.
It's the only way 
@Em0nM4stodonEm I've been thinking about this, prompted by things like the Gemini protocol. What would a protocol/standard that takes away the economic incentives that made the internet bad look like? I feel like this is something we could come up with.
“More than 16 million tons of #radioactive mill waste removed from project near the Colorado River"
While this is good and a rare example of corporate responsibility in the #nuclear industry, this doesn't mean the 16M tons of waste are “safe” now, they are just someplace else.

highly suspect that when tech companies say they are "deleting" your data, what they are actually doing is just moving it over to a folder marked "deleted" and knowing that they'll never be called on this
The last week has left me grumpy, but it's getting better now. Let's hope Monday won't ruin the progress.
Sure, AI is costing $billions and consuming copious resources, all to produce creepy slop that barely anyone likes. But the alternative would giving that funding to actual human artists. Can you imagine!?! Countless talented people, with free reign to create. What sort of world would that be!?

We're looking into implementing interaction controls in #Holos, following the approach proposed by #GoToSocial. This would let you decide who can reply, like, or boost your posts. It fits well with the Holos philosophy of giving you full control over your online presence. More details here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/federation/interaction_controls/

미국에서 가장 부유한 ~33명 (~0.00001%)이 미국인 전체 1년 *소득* 14%에 해당하는 재산을 축적해서, 빈부 격차가 심했던 "the Gilded Age"보다 지금 훨씬 더 심하다고… 다만 재산과 1년 소득을 비교한 것이라... 재산으로 따지면 인구 top 0.00001%가 전체의 ~1.8%를 소유함(2024년 말 기준).
The wealth of the top 0.00001% matches 12% of total "annual income"? Not denying it's massively concentrated.

Dear #openindiana #sun #sparc community. Fantastic news from Klaus, Hans and many others that have added SPARC support to OI for a lot pf machines. After years I do have an up2date #unix on my Sun Ultra 45. There is also some incredible work being done on #rust for SPARC. Mate useable via remote X session.
