I ordered The Oddesy. I want to read the book before the movie. I don’t want to spoil the ending. Is 3,000 years too much to ask?

Me as a kid: Nobody could figure out who Batman was Me as an adult: He drives to crime scenes so he is local. He needs to have a ton of money. He also can’t have a day job as he is up all night. Gee, who could it be?

Me as a child: How does Batman have time to do everything? Me as an adult: Man, Batman's life is easy. No childcare, eldercare, commuting, long work hours, budgeting ,cooking, cleaning and taking care of a house. He has plenty of time to be a superhero.

There is a game called universal paperclip about an out of control AI that convert the universe into paperclips. I'm currently using the comet browser to have an AI play the game. It's weird.

Me: I'm not a nerd. Anyone else: So how do you keep lists of stuff that needs to be fixed at the house? Me: I'm running my own GitLab container in Proxmox with a private OAuth server to log in and multi site backup. The items are issues under a project named home. Anyone else: Exactly...

Update your iPhones, iPads and Macs. A new Apple software update went out fixing a zero-day security flaw under attack. "Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals." support.apple.com/en-us/124925

a screenshot of iOS 18.6.2, which fixes a memory corruption bug. It reads: "This update provides important security fixes and is recommended for all users."

It was the hardest thing to do. Not buy a desktop with a graphics card to run my own LLM. I succeeded this time.

Paramount + Stopped working with my Roku. Looks like there is a ton of tracking that goes on that tracks the videos you see. Had to allow several sites though my PiHole.

It is amazing how I can go from: "Wow the AI writes code well all I have to do is review it. It is so faster than my typing" to "Why am I waiting 3 min to make 100 changes to my code"

Why can't I save everyone? I know that's crazy talk. That is what I want to do. I know I can't. Doesn't mean I won't do my best to do so.

I used to wait for a complier, now I wait for the LLM...

Why is compiling a #Rust program that needs Perl and OpenSSL so hard in Windows? Any tips?

It is so satisfying to write something and have the time to build security controls into it so that it is sturdy. It is nice to develop hobby projects because you don’t have that viable minimum product pressure.

First experience with “vibe coding” definitely sped up my development. Needed to intervene for some of the more complicated areas. Still needed to understand and test code to make sure it worked as intended. Secure design and threat model had to be human. Documentation was easy

Me: I'm going to workout. Brain: I have a great idea, we need to work on this now! Me: .... Brain: Come on... Me: Stop bothering me. I'll get to it soon...

Man, just watched the Dark Mirror episode on the brain implant. Dark stuff. This is why I don’t want to work for a company whose goal is just profit. If everyone just did that, humanity wouldn’t survive.

#rust So, I found what I think is a bug in Rust. When running on the command line, this code only returns up to 1020 files but it returns all files in a VScode terminal. How can I report this? for entry in fs::read_dir(dir_path)?

Does this happen to you? Me: Happily doing some home task. My brain: You know when you added one to that number you can overflow that 128 bit unsigned int? Me: what are the odds of that happening? My brain: Never, but you’re going to have to fix it right now.

Today's biggest threat to F-18 fighters is... *Checks Notes* The Red Sea. Seriously, I'm glad no one was hurt. On the other hand, new F-18 support package has dropped "water wings":

#rustlang TFW you are starting to learn about async and realize that you should have used it rather than pure multi-threading for your application.

Why do I have so much compassion? It would be so much easier if I just cared less. The good news is that it forces me to try everything to both meet objectives and take care of people.

I think Bruce and Hidi are stopping #Schmoocon because they don't want to re-enginer the ticket process beacuse next year somone will write an LLM to answer the question automatically. BTW anyone have the last 10 years of questions?

In D.C We only get serious snowstorms once every two to three years. We have some snow plows but it does not make finincal sense to have the same as more northen cities. Our public transit will shut down if there is 8 inches of snow. www.opm.gov/policy-data-...
