Driving WS2812Bs With Pure Logic

These [Fortune 500] enterprise platforms require deterministic outputs, exact, repeatable, compliant, and AI is probabilistic, meaning its output can change every time the same question is asked.
That mismatch is the core reason AI cannot wholesale replace the systems of record that form the backbone of enterprise IT.

OK I'm depressed and anxious so let's talk about some game theory: under no circumstances should *ANYONE* in 2026 admit that they would vote for Gavin Newsom for president.
Really excited for this! Following on @semble.so enables “faceted following”: not simply following someone "wholesale", but rather specific facets of their work - their AI agents collection, open source philosophy, or whatever resonates with you. Faceted following is also a signal for the curator >

No shade (OK mild shade) but like where have u been lol. We have been doing this for more than a year and actually addressing the problem with $0. If you want to help with preserving data, give us $600,000 to build seedboxes instead of spending it to like look around and hang out and schedule meetings with filecoin

the people cannot be a valid check on the executive if the majority of the people hold false beliefs about what the executive is doing

@glyph Biden and Obama were both allergic to taking credit for their accomplishments. I understand the desire to not turn public works to partisan ends, but nobody's going to know you did a good thing if you aren't willing to blow your own horn a little.
I wrote a thing about this sixteen years ago, for all the good it did

아무튼 뭐 환영이다. 이 방향으로 홰까닥해서 도무지 말이 안 통하던 친족이 부랴부랴 어찌 한다고 연 끊다시피 한 사람에게까지 말을 돌리는 걸 보면 반응은 확실하네 싶고.
Old research question: What is a correct emulator?
New research question after thinking about the old research question for a while: Oh god. Oh no. What is an emulator?
하긴 뭐 살의(를 보임으로써 받을 미움)을 감당할 정치적 자본이라는 게 있어야 하는 일이고 그게 쉽게 나오지는 않는 거긴 하다. 역설적으로 그걸 윤이 줬다고 하지 못할 구석도 없고. 하지만 평산 누구씨도 탄핵된 대통령 뒤에 비슷한 손패 들고 들어온 입장이시긴 합니다?
이번 정부의 부동산 대책과 그 영향을 보고 있으면 이제까지 부족했던 건 "살의" 였다고 말하고 싶어진다. 건전한 표현은 아닌데, 적절한 표현이긴 한 것 같다.
Quite surprising release from the french administration today:

Dunno if this is the first MCP server released officially by a country, but nonetheless, this is a great move.

i just got a notification for my own project?
Signal
I installed the Signal app on a new phone.
I haven't imported my back-up yet.
All my previous channels seemed to automatically show up — both 1-on-1 channels, and group channels.
Which is great.
But, also the names of the channels.
Where did the Signal app get the channel names from?
I read over the Signal protocol years ago, but — I don't recall reading anything about group names.
What I am wondering — does Signal's servers have plaintext records of the names of my groups.

Hi, yes, welcome to Mozilla Burger. It's true our burgers come with asbestos but the good news is you can pick it off yourself. Look how easy that is. No we can't make a burger without it and let you add it yourself later. Why would we do that?
Rest in Peace Rob Grant. We salute you. #RobGrant

So tempted to be in a high collar shirt, buttoned up right to the top so you can't see a hint of skin, but then put a harness over it that's definitely from Ann summers.
Can hear Husbeard's voice in my head: "DON'T ANTAGONISE THE PLATFORMS THAT PAY YOU"
Heh heh heh
Kate Riga makes an important point here about the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team and their interaction with Trump: "That is what you're scared of as a woman all the time. That men who are nice to your face, and who take photos with you, and nominally support you, the second you're out of the room are making fun of you and undermining you."
Many, many years ago, at school for CS and before that interning at NASA Ames, I learned to take programming seriously as engineering work, and also the level of rigor that engineering work requires. In the intervening thirty years, I have had to come to terms with the degree to which this attitude is rare in theory and vanishingly rare in practice again and again. Tooling has gotten better, but the rigor applied to the average line of code has gotten worse.
I would hope that safety-critical systems would be different, and in some cases they really are. However, the number of people who want to build secure communications systems that they want to be safety critical and who expect thousands of people to literally use in a case where a breach of the threat model means the users will die and who as developers cannot bother to meet the basic design rigor requirement of 2006 — have a fucking threat model that is accurate and up to date — will never cease to shock me.

Just 4 percent of businesses achieved a return on their #AI investments, yet rather than admit AI isn't living up to early expectations, a newly published study is blaming the users for not doing enough.

Silly PR person. Unicorns are imaginary illusions created to scam investors and enrich billionaire-wannabes.
Also, it's unfathomable to me that anyone overseas would risk their privacy and security to increasingly authoritarian US borders crossing goons.
