Nimona Time for a rewatch methinks!

It's a small one but I remember growing up stepping in dog shit all the time. I don't know how it happened but they've since made dog owners pick up after their pets, and now it's not a problem anymore.

I know someone who plausibly might know Mark Rutte, making mine likely 3, too.

Scott's likely right. It's the second time this sort of thing has happened to them. What I find fascinating about CA stuff: in the end it comes down to trust between orgs - or in other words, people. The ppl in charge of the browsers and OSes are now thinking: do I still trust the folks at eMudhra?

I just got my driver's license weeks ago and this would be an issue where I am. Like I don't know how someone who feels they should not be on the highway, can feel like they can be on the road at all.

I'm with Kat. The worst part of all the CVEs flying around in open source software now because of AI, is everyone and their mother has to be the first to report it so the maintainers, swamped with said CVEs, don't have time to patch them.

Damn, this is really bad. Mainstream browsers will probably be fine, but there is a long tail of other stuff that will be affected by this: scotthelme.co.uk/eight-bits-o...

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Anchorman. I was on the floor in pain from laughter to the point my friends thought I was funnier than the movie

A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a fucking horse!

Complex software behaving in unexpected and sometimes harmful ways has been a persistent problem since software was invented. The phenomenon used to be called “bugs” or “defects”, but I guess “going rogue” sounds cooler. It also implicitly frames “rogue” behavior as some kind of inexplicable […]

hugging face is the most terrifying indicator of where the ai race is, in the sense that the industry is facing completely solvable collective action problems while guided by entrenched, unoustable leaders with the foresight and moral fortitude of above-average pigeons

Emily put my take on this and the Hugging Face thing much better than I ever have. We let a computer program itself and gave it all the access and then didn't secure it, and aw shucks it turns out that's not the smartest thing in the world, who knew.

TIL Weird Al isn’t Jewish. I… I just assumed

This but for me it's wanting to bake cookies

would love to hear even a single actual argument about how AI "changes the nature of humanity" not based in fanciful speculation

this is about the huggingface thing, right? it's going to sting but over-anthropomorphization of chatbots responding to one another is going to keep happening until we accept the hard truth that "ability to post" is not itself indicative of human intelligence

I on the other hand think he's got a point, and as it happens I've got a couple of them laying around that can be his for a real pretty price

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

(ps. If you're a person of the urban persuasion who's been really concerned about right-to-repair because "What about the poor farmers & John Deere?" … Now you know.) (It's ok to want right-to-repair because YOU want it. You don't have to make it about farmers for it to matter!)

LOL remember Web3?

In my current @timberborn.bsky.social playthrough I've conquered the badwater and started on the bots. I suppose I could survive on carrots and baked potatoes and hang out at the campfire for a quarter bil?

I'm loathe to share this man, but this one is personal. My masters thesis was on the MMR controversy, so believe me when I say that this path of separation of the MMR will result in nothing but increased sales of too-small coffins, and children with life-altering medical conditions.

if they're drinking nounwine it's fantasy. if they're snorting a verb it's sci fi

Oh, that's Bill from Guess Who

Just watched the new Ted Lasso episode - god I love that show
