iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I just don't understand that claim with this list, none of them are particularly large or "tactical" looking, like you'd expect for compensating males, and you're generalizing about a Buck 503 and an Opinel, the latter of which is so macho my retired aunt uses one for gardening.

Matte black is kinda silly but I assume all of these are available in a standard finish, and titanium doesn't mean anything to someone looking at the knife, just means it weighs less in your pocket. The decorations make them less scary to regular people, not a conversation piece.

I find them very handy, anything much less than 3" tends not to fit in my hand in a way I can hold it safely, and why use two hands to open a knife? Even a generic box cutter is operated with one-hand, nobody uses two hands to open a cutting tool.

Pretty much any folding knife is a bottle opener if you know what you're doing, cans are almost all pull-tab now and not something you interface with wearing a blazer too often. This list is mostly just "I can open a parcel without scaring the office admin" type knives.

Last I checked we still have prisoners make them for little to no pay, and we voted down the "actually ban slavery, yes even in prisons" ballot measure a few years ago. Super cool.

The timing could obviously vary but I used a Palm V (released in 1999) to great effect as an e-reader, better than my first Kindle. Just looked up the inflation-adjusted price on Wikipedia, and damn, I'm rather lucky my dad got it from his employer then decided it was too fiddly and let me have it.

Discworld QOTD, from Mort

The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed.

At least one of the ML PhDs provided the service of shooting down the CEO's mysticism around Deep Learning during an all-hands meeting with something like "Nah bro, it's just a method for training layered neural networks, not magic."

Our ML team was mostly PhDs at their first real job, they contributed nothing to any product but we had to have them around because investors expected it.

It was only literal clocks once, but they spent a while figuring out that event counters for actions scheduled at 10Hz are understood to be correlated to the clock. Then they discovered a link between CPU load and the counter of tasks that the CPU completed. Real insights there.

I needed this meme at my last job for all the times the stats/ML team would come back to me after a week of analyzing performance data, where I then had to point out they had discovered (yet again) an amazing correlation between two different representations of UTC time.

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.

Depending on how often you want to edit other parts of the file, and assuming you're using a filesystem that supports it, `chatrr +i` might be an option to lock it down, failing that, change the ownership maybe?

A couple years ago Newegg must have come across a couple dusty boxes of p1600x drives, they sold several lots of the 118GB model for around $70, I unfortunately only bought a couple but they're beautiful boot drives.

That time of year is like 4 months long for me, acorns sound like meteor strikes on the roof, and the squirrels actually aim at you (poorly.) Yesterday I got a couple strike on the garage roof (single layer of plywood) right over the lathe and I kept flinching, messing up my surface finish.

Just as far as resources go, the "scary" LLMs can only run in data centers, no quantity of exploited iPads and LG TVs are going to replicate Mythos, the bandwidth and latency alone would ruin it, plus that would still require centralized control, which would almost have to live in a data center.

That was annoyingly unrealistic in the show and some how the risk of a capable LLM running across a distributed system of kitchen appliances (or even a half million laptops) is even less realistic than that.
