So here is my new #introduction!

I'm a Fedizen since April 2017 where my handle was hosted on the mastodon.partipirate.org instance, before migrating to my own self-hosted (social.nicolas-constant.com) one in 2019.

I love many things, from developing software to photography, usually while listening to black metal.

I do have other personal thematic accounts, like Pixelfed @NicolasConstant@pixelfed.social or Quolibet (french poetry) @nicolas_constant but this one will be the more "generalist" one! 😉

you’d like to come back, wouldn’t you?

Say it with me now:

AI is designed to *sound* correct
It is not designed to *be* correct

Back in the 90s we had a great term for stuff like “building AI satellite factories on the Moon” and “we’ll just envelop the solar system with a Dyson Sphere”.

It’s pretty technical and I forgive you if you’ve never heard of it, the term is “investment scam”.

“Public opinion data suggests this paradigm shift is not being received lightly. In Germany, recent polling indicates that 71% of respondents now view the United States as an adversary, while continent-wide surveys show only 16% still describe the U.S. as an ally.”

I'm hoping to reproduce this cavity stabilized oscillator design from NIST but at 12 GHz as an ultra low phase noise reference clock for the vector signal generator. This nonsense is optional, the clock could be as simple as an LMX2594.

These pipe couplings are very close to what I need for a TE015 resonator at 12 GHz. They need some minor machining, polishing, endcaps, coupling loops.

I know this is sometimes a contentious topic, but I'd like to ask the CS profs in my corner of the fediverse:

What are the *core CS topics* that every student should know?

I think data structures & algorithms is indisputably a core topic. Interpreters and compilers—that might just be my bias.

I'm thinking about how to express to people why I think some core CS should be as important to a well-rounded education as, say, algebra. What would you hope every high schooler/undergrad understand?

New post, and this one's definitely one of my weirder ones: it's about how most of the tech industry shows symptoms of something that looks like gender dysphoria.

Went to Ikea today and stumbled upon this lone 3-pack of their recent Bilresa scroll wheel remotes. You can get it in white too, but I think they’re much more fun in colours. More smart home stuff should come in not just white or black.

Ikea of course recommend using it with their own system, but it’s a Matter over Thread device, so I connected it with Home Assistant no problem, with HomePod minis acting as Thread border routers. That’s three brands of devices working together seamlessly.

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

僕は、生成AI生成物が水と電気を無駄遣いして誤情報を拡めている点で生成AIに価値があると思うことができないし、生成AI生成物を生理的に受け付けないんだけど、種々のサービスのお勧めアルゴリズムそのものを拒否してるわけじゃないよ。SpotifyもYouTubeもときどき僕の知らない良い曲とかかわいい猫をお勧めしてくれるよ。あーでも世間の人がYouTubeとかXとか誤情報を受け取っちゃうのはモデレーションだけじゃなくてお勧めアルゴリズムと現金収入に関連があるようにつくられている問題があるのかあ #などと早口で
