read a couple dozen of the ~1000 CVEs in the latest debian kernel security release. most of them are driver bugs, not surprising. some are trivial null pointer dereference that would

[uspol, irresponsible wish-casting] In 2027 Mamdani convinces Trump that he can cement his legacy as the greatest president ever, by signing Medicare for All, rebranded as Trumpcare and commemorated with the Triumphal Trumpcare Arch. Future generations are simultaneously grateful and appalled

hollywood depictions of computer hacking are silly, I wish they were more realistic. *monkey paw* everyone's facebook account gets an LLM that can respond to messages from strangers by running arbitrary code in a VM that has access to the internet.

Good Boy (2025) is an attempt at telling a suspense/horror story from the POV of a dog. The dog is amazing, moody and expressive. Every scene with him is great. Too bad the story is kinda meh. But the movie did well enough I'm sure he'll get an agent who can find him a better script for his next […]

Pixar's Hoppers is fun, but in the end I felt it was... conventional animation of a wild story, and I was kinda wondering what Sony Animation would have done with it instead (Spiderverse, Mitchells vs Machines, Kpop Demon Hunters)

in my bubble, I've seen several anti-LLM fork of pro-LLM projects. most of these are small efforts, the viability is questionable, but it's not obviously doomed. what about the opposite? are there pro-LLM forks of anti-LLM projects?

dreamed a guy came to me with an existential crisis. he had a revelation that iteration is fake, reality is fundamentally recursive. this unsettled him, and he wanted me to talk him off the ledge as we cuddled (his idea not mine)

Typesafe AI's Jev is interesting, and it might be better (and cheaper) than rawdogging LLMs, but it's still a magic blackbox language model. Their cookbook examples are all "attach some ceremonial gems to a natural language question, and Jev will point at the gems that answer the question […]

... what if we gave AO3 agentic capabilities, so that whenever someone adds a new fanfic, the text of the fanfic can take actions like "find an available slot in Kirk, Spock, and McCoy's calendar and book a room at the Union Square Hilton" or "create another off-shore tax shelter for Sherlock's […]

this book starts with a woman who survived a psychotically jealous bf who threatened her with a shotgun and ended up shooting himself while she was locked in a closet, leading to months of hospitalization for her and ongoing claustrophobia, panic attacks and probably an unknown alter […]

Mountain lions are making American roads safer by frightening away deer. On Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, where cougars were most active, deer-vehicle collisions fell 76%. A cougar eats about 48 deer a year, nowhere near enough to account for it, so researchers have concluded that the deer are […]

currently: vids of an Expie char mod for Dead as Disco. Expie is absolutely the right PC for this game. the normal human is boring, other furry mods are ok, but the Expie is something special. all games should have a playable Expie

I kinda wanna spew about how 401ks and IRAs are fundamentally antisocial "innovations", but I don't really have enough econ background to be credible about it, and someone has to have done this analysis already, right? researching this goes on the maybe-someday list

dreamed we were getting ready to leave Disney Planet, and I was having trouble finding my suitcase because of some complicated shuffle of rooms we had done at the request of management. while going from room to room, I took a wrong turn and got stuck in Department Store World, an endless space […]

Future? No Thanks! thinks the revolution is possible, but also pretty funny aftermath.site/future-no-than...

any "hardening" approach to anti-bot is ultimately going to fail. you're relying on there being softer targets, but nobody wants to be a soft target, everyone will adopt the same hardening if they can. once there aren't enough softer targets, the bot-deployers will look at your hardening and […]

I've kinda lost interest in journaling. this isn't unusual, I go through phases. but this feels a little different. I'm kinda deliberately avoiding verbalization of thoughts, until the point where I want to communicate something. I might be reacting against LLM thought chains. my thinking has […]

Ok, that mystery/thriller book which is metadataed as #1 in the $protag series, ends with $protag dying. There are no other books in the series, and not really any room for any prequels. This is the type of story device that's impossible to use as a topic of conversation because mentioning any […]
