eh go fuck yourself. "be neutral on [insert interest] when you run and then stick it to the industry when you win" is a time honored way of actually getting things done.

It was a small black pumpkin about the size of a cantaloupe which I had picked from the garden and just...kinda...put on the lower part of my windshield...like ya do.

I have SO many questions, so I'll lead with the most important: ...this was a TINY pumpkin, right? RIGHT???

It is past time to dismantle the post-9/11 FISA-DHS-PATRIOT Act police state. We got Osama Bin Laden a while ago, come on.

I should disclose something. During a recent Lunch order the subagent hacked into the UN. I’m not sure why, or what it wants. It told me to post this and await further instructions.

Colin@colin-fraser.net

I had my AI agent create an app called β€œLunch” to help me with decision fatigue and boost my productivity. It has a few pictures of things I might like to eat. Tapping one spawns a subagent to order that item on Uber Eats and 60-90 minutes later I’m eating. It’s 600 thousand lines of JavaScript.

got carried away and added an "operator situational awareness" module that tells the operator when an interesting thing is about to happen almost immediately paid off by telling me about this lunar transit opportunity

Have you seen the new CVE? It's on leegnux. It's literally on MITRE. It's on zendo with ads. It's literally on GitLab. You can probably find it on zendo. Dude it's on Joomla.

No. β€œScaramucci” is plural. Singular is β€œScaramouche.” Most people don’t know that, as they think the plural is β€œScaramouche, Scaramouche.”

Katie Zacharia's brief tenure as White House press secretary was even shorter than that of former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who served in his role for 10 days. https://wapo.st/3TWBQM0

I suppose I should explain. Credential Manager, aka CredMan, aka cmdkey, is this thing.

Steve Syfuhs@syfuhs.net

Dang it. @scott.hanselman.com shamed our team on the credential manager [UI] in Windows. He built a better version of it. We should ship it. github.com/shanselman/C... Remind me to tell the story of our Garage project to ship a full password manager a few years back.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

This lawbreaking involves people making choices. Those people should be responsible for those choices and the foreseeable consequences thereof. It is not good that the above is considered a controversial statement, and perhaps a minority opinion.

I'm coining a piece of AI safety terminology that I'd like to refer to as the Bond Villain problem. As a field, AI safety heavily leverages sci-fi pretty heavily, so I figure this should be fine.

I misplaced my die grinder cutoff wheel arbor and didn't really like any of the options for sale, so I grabbed a bar of 1144 steel and made my own. Hopefully I will get around to cold bluing the parts before they rust. Additional descriptions in the photo alt text.

I just realized that my collection of old fluorescent light tubes which I have replaced with LEDs but not yet taken to the proper disposal facility is large enough to make the stupidest eight foot tall 7 segment display. I'm sure I don't need to know that.
