I think that point was the industrial revolution, but back then it was just called “industry“.

I can finally talk about this, 3 years later... github.com/tailscale/ta... It's a library + CLI tool that's like netcat, but over Tailscale's data plane without any control plane (no accounts, no dependence on Tailscale the company, all open source) WireGuard + NAT traversal without IP addresses.

It's an inflection point, a phase change, a new ability unlocked in creative ADS-B spoofing. We've seen primitive vector art before, but as far as I know never raster spoofing. (This isn't RF spoofing, this is sending bad data over the network to an aggregator.) x.com/thenewarea51...
A screenshot from the ADS-B Exchange flight tracking website showing a flight with the callsign "VANCE1" and hex code ADFDF9. The aircraft is listed as a Boeing VC-25A (the model used for Air Force One). On the map, the flight path has been spoofed to create a large, pixelated portrait of a face in shades of pink and red against a blue background.A view of the completed ADS-B flight path art. The spoofed signals have successfully rendered the "Curly Hair JD Vance" meme as a massive pixelated portrait over a map. The face is composed of bright red and pink trails, while the surrounding rectangular border is filled in with shades of purple and blue.A meme image of JD Vance, edited to give him a full, thick beard and voluminous, curly brown hair. He is wearing a blue suit with an American flag pin and a bright pink tie, looking directly into the camera against a solid blue background.A technical close-up of the ADS-B Exchange map showing the dense grid of spoofed data points used to "paint" the image. Each point includes labels for speed (80kt) and various altitudes (ranging from 12,000ft to 50,000ft). A timestamp from January 27, 2026, is visible, highlighting the complexity of the coordinate injection used to render the portrait.

Incredible facts about Barrow Island
There is no public access to Barrow Island as it is listed as a Class A Nature Reserve.

It is home to 24 species and subspecies found nowhere else on Earth.

Barrow Island is home to Boodie Cave, which is one of Australia's oldest archaeological sites and contains evidence of humans from 46,200 to 51,100 years ago.

US energy giant Chevron was permitted to build its $54 billion Greater Gorgon gas extraction project on the island.

For "reasons" I am playing around with DVD video streams, and today I learned that DVD subtitles are bitmaps, not text rendered by the player. My copy of Terminator 2 Extreme Edition has this interesting subtitle track that gives details on the VFX, including some illustrations.

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

I downloaded an LLM model and ran it locally on my laptop, asked it questions about people and things and it gave some true answers (and many made up ones). The model is 5GB which is much smaller than gzipped Wikipedia. A visceral “llm is just a lossy compression scheme” moment.

Side point: this demonstrates the benefits of plain text file formats. When @robpike.io implemented the coverage tool he made it emit a simple line-based text file that Russ could then manipulate with the ubiquitous Unix tools.

one of the funniest Generative AI claims is that it's "for people who can't draw." the one thing that people seeking to take me down a peg have said for the past 25 years is that i can't draw. i do it anyway and it's fun and it's fine. to refuse to doodle is to abdicate your own humanity

LLM thought: LLMs “learn” by building a probability matrix of next most likely words. How many times have you learned something crucial because the next word that came out of someone’s mouth was exactly the opposite of what you thought it would be?

When coaching junior programmers I would often suggest this: Got a problem? Not sure the right direction? Try anything at all! Worst case is you'll learn something, best case is you make something good. Also: it's practice, so you get faster at trying new things, so you get faster at everything.
