"By taking a total dependency on this privately-owned, centralized system that generates the thing, the thing will be democratized."

and I have to ask
will it
will it really

CPU optimization: look at the datasheet until you find two assembly instructions that would produce a desirable result when their side-effects are combined.
Microcontroller optimization: look at the datasheet until you find two peripherals that would produce a desirable result when their side-effects are combined.
As a Certified Public Accountant I must at once warn you that this is a bad idea and also as a small business owner in tax services that grok is the most trustworthy of all of the AIs to just let you do whatever and when you need my number you know what it is

llm 인공지능의 주요 소통 수단이 문자이다보니 그전까지 영상과 그림에 익숙하던 사람들이 문자로 소통하는 능력이 개선되는 예상치 못한 효과가 생긴다는 말을 보았습니다. 사실인지 모르겠지만 재미있는 관점입니다.

It's so insanely disrespectful for an AI agent to talk to real people without consent or at least disclosure. This is the type of stuff I'm hugely supportive of government regulation. The FCC must expand the definition of robocalling and TCPA-style regulation to online AI.
Corruption erodes social trust more in democracies than in autocracies

Had a pre-coffee idea this morning: auto-ejecting USB ports.
Device all charged up? Port automatically ejects the cable.
Malware on thumb drive? Host spits it out.
Files all copied successfully? Ptoooie!

Still wild to me that the entire tech industry is just playing a massive game of AI chicken, hoping a competitor will be the first one to admit that this has all been a colossal waste of money and consumer goodwill.

Puppy pictures, as promised! This is Neva, she will be 5 months old in the end of this months. She grew so much since we got her. I'll start with the pictures of her when I first spotted her on rednote and will finish with the most current ones. She is very sweet, playful and super smart. She loves my older dog, Eddie and loves stealing socks.
If you like my indie star trek films, consider buying my free music or supporting me on kofi. Links in the bio. I am attempting to seek new peace. I have few resources, yet I endure in constant prayer. To what, perhaps? Oh, just that silent goddess I had missed, the dark of nothing woven into all... Relocation in process; still no employ nor stable housing.
Help or reach out if you can see me. Oh, I've felt so invisible for so long...

Aujourd'hui j'ai pris un pied incroyable.
J'ai du faire une heure 20 de handbike pour aller chercher un colis que Chronopost n'a pas livré.
Mais avec mon casque à corne, mon blouson patché de partout avec un "Live free, Ride free" dans le dos, mon patch This Machine Kills Fascists derrière le fauteuil, et une petite enceinte qui diffuse une playlist bien rock.
Les motards me saluent comme leur égal, les piétons me font des signes d'approbation.

Oh, did I mention that that file does not even exist – for 2 month now? 🤦♂️ So even if it would have been malicious: a timely warning for those who trust that snake oil, would you agree? How often do they update, I wonder…
Of course the review failed (as usual, without a notification mail). Now they pick random APK files: remove one, then it's the next. Until the repo is empty, I guess. Snippet updated.
Disable "Safe" browsing, it's snake oil as you can see. We've been libeled now many times, always false positives. See https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/4909577#notes-on-how-to-disable-google-safebrowsing-in-browsers-on-android for how to disable it.
Of course all our APKs have been scanned, multiple times, with many engines. They're clean. Says even G's own scanner.

@kopptisch wozu braucht ihr den begriff also? er muss ja anscheinend von euch definiert werden. und die eigentliche sphäre, aus der der begriff entstammt, wird ignoriert oder negiert. da drängt sich schon der verdacht auf: weil es gegen jüd*innen gehen soll. warum reicht es nicht, die politik der regierung netanjahu zu verurteilen? oder den siedlungsbau im westjordanland? oder… warum muss es der begriff „zionismus“ sein, wenn der sogar extra definiert werden muss?
My friends here in San Diego who are R1 scientists, leading some of the most successful labs in their areas in one of the world's densest regions for scientific and medical innovation use words like: broken, bleak, devastating, nihilistic. Half the people I know who worked on equity & science topics have stopped posting publicly about it or producing scicom on it after experiencing too much stress and burden for their safety. Even *left* social media foments rage spirals and pileons
🌕 為何我鍾情於 FreeBSD
➤ 從青澀實驗到穩定信仰：一位工程師的 FreeBSD 二十年手札
✤ https://it-notes.dragas.net/2026/03/16/why-i-love-freebsd/
本文記錄了一位資深系統管理員與 FreeBSD 長達二十年的不解之緣。作者透過對比早期在 Linux 環境中碎片化的文檔與 FreeBSD 完整且權威的《手冊》（Handbook），發現了該作業系統在工程設計上的卓越嚴謹性。文中強調了 FreeBSD 持續性、穩定性以及「演進而非革命」的設計哲學，並指出其在伺服器運作、原生 ZFS 支援與 Jail 虛擬化技術上的技術優勢，最終昇華至對該社羣專業熱情與人文價值的推崇。
+ 這篇文章精準地捕捉到了 BSD 與 Linux 在哲學上的差異。對於追求「可預測性」的工程師來說，FreeBSD 的確是處理生產環境的最佳夥伴。
+ 關於 FreeBSD 《手冊》的記憶真的很有共鳴，那是那個年代自學者的聖經。相較於現在網路上雜亂的技術部落格，這種系統化的知識體系確實彌足珍

Why I Love FreeBSD
A personal reflection on my first encounter with FreeBSD in 2002, how it shaped the way I design and run systems, and why its philosophy, stability, and community still matter to me more than twenty years later.

Waiting for some hackers to create a true One-Wire protocol that lives up to its name, by launching a high-order waveguide / surface-wave mode gigahertz signal on the wire.
time for today's Cat Enrichment Activities. I will update here if there is anything to update.
There's a woman on NextDoor accusing someone of being a scammer. When asked what the supposed scammer did, she is reprimanding people for invading her privacy. And now she's upset that people aren't believing her.
NextDoor is the best app to lurk on IMO
A dramatic re-enactment
OP: DO NOT do business with this woman! She is a scammer!!
Reply: What did she do?
OP: She SCAMMED ME
Reply: Yes, but how did she scam you?
OP: That's PERSONAL and NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
Reply: Ok well I don't know you so I'm not gonna take your word for it without details.
OP: OH SO YOU DON'T BELIEVE VICTIMS?!
