今天是侄女出世D53，她開始會「玩」了，我也偶爾陪她玩幾十分鐘，努力延長她躺在床上或沙發上而不哭的時間。這時期的她愈來愈可愛，因為她晶亮的眼睛會盯著人或物品看，她從一個懵懵懂懂來到世上什麼也不會、搞不清楚的新生兒，漸漸成為一個對周圍的人或物品有反應的可愛嬰兒。

中午我拿到新玩具（？）玩給她看，她愣愣地看著，很被彩色木頭柵欄玩具的顏色與裡面滾動的木珠聲音吸引。最近我也會輕抓她的小腿，把它們左右擺動，配合著節奏念道「啊tsiànn-pîng、啊tò-pîng，啊正爿倒爿正爿倒爿……」配合我念到哪一邊就把她的腿擺到哪一邊，意外地幾次在她好像要哭的時候，成功轉移注意力讓她恢復好奇的表情。因為她的反應不錯，我在她哭號的時候就抱起來拍拍，發現她會哭可能是因為胃不舒服，所以抱起來就吐奶了……XD 這樣幾次後，我決定要嘗試睡眠訓練——僅僅是嘗試讓她在嬰兒床上入睡——我嘗試了水晶音樂和安撫巾，但在大約4、5次反覆放下、哭號、抱起安撫、放下……的循環後，我驚覺當我抱起安撫好她，走回臥室時，她會在臥室裡還沒放下就哭，很怕她對臥室有不好的印象，只好宣告失敗，讓弟媳把侄女綁在胸前入睡。

“AI does actually make you more 10x productive, once you learn how. I know some of you are holding on to old September/October-ish beliefs about this, from last time you tried it, and you respectfully disagree.

But if you haven’t used specifically Opus 4.5/4.6 with specifically for at least an hour, then you’re in for a real shock. Because all your complaining about AI not being useful for real-world tasks is obsolete. AI coding hit an event horizon on November 24th, 2025. It’s the real deal. And unfortunately, all your other and models are pretty terrible in comparison.” — Steve Yegg

This was an unusually hard post to write, because it flies in the face of everything else going on.

You see what's happening right?

They are preventing you from accessing the means of computing, making you reliant on their services in the future they're building.

At astronomical rents.

I’m taking another Leave of Absence because the last one really didn’t happen. I was still sorting out paperwork getting to everyone from everyone else around the same time I was returning to work.

The point of these LoAs is to forget about work and concentrate on your inner self, after all. So the above experience seems counter-productive.

Anyway, it’s been less than a week but I’m still sleeping until the late-morning; and yesterday I was in bed until 17:45. I feel shame.

Somehow I need to get my act together and find things to do during the day, otherwise I literally have no reason to get out of bed.

Oh, me…

OK, Mastodonians ... after decades of experience troubleshooting other peoples' software I am finally stumped and search engines are yielding bupkis.

The setup:
1. ollama using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 GPU. I have *not* ruled out hardware problems but don't have a stress test handy at the moment.
2. Coding agents launched from ollama. I've mostly used OpenCode and Claude Code. 1/3

RE: infosec.exchange/@littlealex/1

Why do I suspect that Lockheed's reaction to foreign customers jailbreaking F-35s will be just as understanding and conciliatory as Apple's response to customers jailbreaking iPhones (only multiply severity of the reaction by 10,000 per unit for the price of the item they've just lost control of)?
