the thing is like public health child literacy civil rights social justice rural poverty once you personally have become rich and successful, those things only matter if you still have the capacity to care deeply about people outside your immediate circle and that is harder than becoming rich

I'm optimistic that AI might actually improve some level of security in the long-term. A basic sonnet security audit in less than five minutes could have figured this out: hhh.hn/hanwha-githu...

My security camera shipped a GitHub admin token in its login page

i dissected some firmware for a Hanwha Wisenet XNP-9300RW and found that it had github admin tokens in it, also miltech is weird

I do a lot of timelapses. I used to use Adobe software, then I transitioned to scripting ffmpeg. This weekend I decided to build a basic desktop app that automates the common things I want ffmpeg to do: blittle.github.io/railtrack/ Check it out if you do panning timelapses or star trails.

blittle.github.io

RailTrack — 4K timelapses with a windowed pan & star trails

RailTrack turns a folder of large photos into a 4K or vertical timelapse, with a smooth windowed pan, star-trail stacking, denoise, and fast previews.

AI helps me with what I know and what I know I don't know. But it rarely reveals anything about what I don't know I don't know. Those unknown unknowns often only surface through the process of doing the work myself. If we offload too much to AI, what will we fail to discover?

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

inherit() is going to be absolutely huge for working with CSS custom properties. Two big things it'll enable: Nested indentation: --indent: calc(inherit(--indent, 0) + 1); Overridable design token defaults: --primary-color: inherit(--primary-color, blue);

Genuinely, the US is quickly sliding into fascism and Google and Apple have proven they are not going to stick up for us when the government gives them unconstitutional orders. Stop making apps they can remove from their app stories on a whim. Make websites instead. At least make it hard for them.
