이란 폭격을 보며 오래전 읽었던 기사가 생각났다. 구독 없이 볼 수 있는 듯? 미국이 왜 아프간에서 철저히 실패했는지, 약간 인류학적으로 들여다본 기사.
몇 가지 기억나는 게, 카불 시민과 인구 대다수 rural area 주민 특히 여성들 상황이 매우 다름. 탈레반/지역 군벌 등은 예측 가능한 억압인데, 미군은 장미빛 약속을 하다 집을 폭파하거나 잡아가고, 더 악랄한 군벌에게 통치를 맡기는 등 예측 가능한 일상이 불가능하게 함. 점령군 정책(여성 해방 등)이 듣기 좋을지 몰라도 실제 주민들 상황을 이해할 능력과 관심이 너무 부족.

Trying to figure out how to lock down my CI runners as much as possible.
They need to be able to reach out to GitHub to HTTPS check out the source code, but I can't easily add a firewall rule for "can only clone this one repo from github".
Ideas beyond "open port 443 outbound to the entire internet"?

Gambling on issues of human suffering, e.g. wars, democratic backsliding, disasters, etc should be legally prohibited and ethically shunned. Polymarket, Kalshi and similar whatever-goes betting platforms needs to be boycotted and sued out of existence, for humanity's sake.

There's a new project called Holos which makes it a lot easier to host a Fediverse server on your own mobile device. You can follow the project at:
➡️ 
@HolosSocial
The official site explains how it works:
➡️ https://holos.social/how-it-works
To manage expectations, it's still in its early days and mainly for techy people at the moment. However, it will be interesting to follow its development 🙂
Holos is by the makers of the Mastodon/Fediverse mobile app Fedilab.

문득 생각났는데 billionaire를 억만장자라고 번역하고 trillionaire를 조만장자라고 번역하는 게 퍽 웃기다 millionaire를 숫자를 그대로 옮겨서 백만장자라고 번역했으면 billionaire는 십억장자라고 해야 되는 거 아닌지...?!

Reading this, again, you get the sense that someone at Anthropic knows how the intel community misleads by using definitions of words that are different than everyone else believes. And the people at OpenAI simply don't know or don't care about that.

Peut-être que, plutôt que de passer du temps à maintenir un historique git bien propre, vous trouverez plus de sens à prendre soin de l’application que vous développez, ou bien à aller arroser vos plantes ou caresser le chat ? »
Sigh, the AI Slop has now come for the PHP project.
@derickrDerick Rethans I'm surprised and disappointed that the PR is still open and people are seemingly engaging with it.
The copyright and license question (what code was this AI trained on and what was the license of that code) alone should mean the PR should be closed and locked.

@jrf_nlJuliette @derickrDerick Rethans It has explicitly been stated in the PR that an RFC is require for it to go anywhere (including labeling it as such).
I expect anyone that is (still) engaging with the PR to do it in full knowledge of the procedures. The handful of remarks made there would equally (need to) be made as part of the RFC discussion to determine the desired semantics.
@timwollaTim Düsterhus Reviewing a PR which should never have been created, let alone considered, is the same as "feeding the trolls".
It also leaves the impression that:
a) the PHP project is seriously considering the code for inclusion (otherwise, why review?)
b) creating a PoC for a feature using an LLM is acceptable in the PHP project (which it shouldn't be IMO - PoCs too often end of up in a project instead of being thrown away and it legitimizes theft)

Are you Quantum AI blockchain zero-trust triple-ratchet encryption ready? 
@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) 
I Am the Very Model of a Modern Cyber Specialist
I am the very model of a modern cyber specialist,
My posture is proactive and my mindset synergist,
I leverage blockchain paradigms resilient and immutable,
For threats that are, in practice, mostly quite disputable.
I’m zero-trust by principle, by strategy, by ritual,
Though flat networks persist beneath my slide deck quite habitual;
I champion quantum readiness, cryptography transitionable,
While SSH keys on our servers stay embarrassingly guessable.
I speak of AI governance, of ethics and alignment,
Of digital transformation in a cloud-first re-assignment;
I orchestrate compliance in a framework interoperable,
Yet patching legacy systems is declared economically implausible.
I circulate an SBOM with enthusiasm evangelical,
Though half the stack was compiled by interns quite mechanical;
I threat-model via workshops with sticky notes galactical,
But tracing actual packet loss I find impractical.
I quantify cyber maturity in gradients holographic,
With heatmaps operationally impressive and chromatic;
I benchmark risk velocity in dashboards most aesthetical,
While incident response remains distinctly hypothetical.
In short, in blockchain-quantum-zero-trust evangelistical,
In AI-driven thought leadership aggressively statistical,
In buzzword transformation visionary and fantastical,
I am the very model of a cyber strategist theatrical.
But when the logs erupt at 3 a.m. with evidence electrical,
I forward them to someone slightly more technical.
going back to my situation as a lyric contralto profondo, finding songs that flatter my voice has always been hard because baritone songs generally need a bit more heft behind them than I can manage, but tenor songs require covered head voice, a technique I am physically incapable of (only T-puberty vocal types can cover). I've been increasingly finding that the solution is to raid 18th century "tenor" rep because that's what flatters a deep but lightweight chest voice

@daliasCassandrich And I want the ARM world to move away from the insanity that is the current DTBs:
* They suck at describing the hardware, they are more a Linux config file: Linux forks (vendor trees) will always have incompatible ones because upstream doesnt care about compatibility...
* Not only every SoC needs to be supported, every board needs its own broken DTB... Which leads to board-specific brokeness for SoC-provided features!
* Good mainline support never comes before the effective end of life of the device... Even with big companies working on it with significant resources!
By allowing DTBs to exist, vendors could start making SoCs very very diverse without caring about the software ecosystem. This is nuts and this insanity needs to be stopped by introducing discoverable buses and blocks, then add per-vendor platform drivers as a glue. Something akin to ACPI would then be introduced for board-specific customization.
You can keep the compatibles and the equivalent of a DTB to document if blocks are user-visible or not (so that he is not exposed to the user otherwise). New SoCs should finally be mostly backwards compatible, allowing basic release-day upstream support, and reducing the need for vendor trees, or the cost of mainlining.

every chat protocol made after IRC persistently keeps you in your chat rooms, even when you’re not connected to the server at the moment. this is generally considered to be a good thing
however, consider: this removes the peak comedy of someone saying “let me try this out real quick” and getting loudly kicked out of the room by their own OOM killer taking exception to an unchecked memory leak.
so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not

The sound of a compact cassette tape being rewound feels like butterflies in my stomach somehow.
A bonobo’s pretend tea party suggests that imagination predates humans. A study in Science shows that Kanzi, a 43-year-old bonobo, could track imaginary juice and grapes in during a tea party, reliably distinguishing pretend from real objects. The findings suggest that at least some apes can mentally represent things that are not physically present, a capacity long viewed as uniquely human. https://sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260210040605.htm
