ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players ssh snakes.run to join!

Hey, so we got a trojan horse ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

Text passage reading:

Valve’s loot box model can be especially harmful to children. Attorney General James asserts that young users with limited funds can be enticed to start gambling through loot boxes in the hopes of obtaining a virtual item that they believe will enhance their status in the games’ virtual worlds. Research has shown that children who are introduced to gambling are four times more likely to develop a gambling problem later in life than those who are not. (highlighted in screenshot) In addition, although this case is about illegal gambling, it is important to note that Valve’s promotion of games that glorify violence and guns helps fuel the dangerous epidemic of gun violence, particularly among young gamers who can become numbed to grave violence before their brains are fully developed. (end of highlighting)

And as far as I’m concerned, all EVO events are off the table from now on. We saw the largest fighting game tournament on earth go from community ownership to corporate ownership to corrupt oligarchic ownership within the span of about a decade. This is not the FGC. This is brand rehab for monsters.

As always and as ever: the grifts and excessive promises of AI are annoying, but the bit that's really going to deal damage is its use to justify unsubstantiated layoffs and crunches on the workers who remain

I "love" how the blurb calls it a "chatbot", while if you read the text then of course it's a super-complex harness (including digital twin validation) that used Claude as essentially a symbolic reasoning ML pipeline predicting new inputs based on several years (!) of logged data

This kind of explainer is bloody wonderful, and I hope it can become a model for other government sectors. So much good, invisible work is done behind the scenes, and so little of it gets the attention it deserves. The tricky bit is distribution, though; few offices have platforms of Mamdani's scale

This is one of the most fundamental underlying problems of perspective with many, if not most people who play fighting games. “People just want to be good at something automatically” is not correct. It’s factually inaccurate. People don’t expect to be “good.” They just don’t like being vaporized.

People always want to use ADCs for things you don't need ADCs for. Instead you can just use time constants. The CH572 has no ADCs but that doesn't stop me from measuring battery voltage and the pressure on some silicone buttons. github.com/cnlohr/cnhar...

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

TypeScript is a psychology experiment designed to see if you can read "the JavaScript API you know and love, but with the safety of strong typing!" and get so distracted by how much you like strongly typed languages that you forget that you do not, in fact, neither know nor love the JavaScript API

I really do not get the general urge among online academics to dunk on X area for discovering what Y area has known for decades. There are many reasons why this is unscholarly. To name a few: 1. Most scientists don't perform interdisciplinary research because it's explicitly disincentivized.

I once asked a very skilled and experienced rower how people who make every boat they are in better do it. He said that he'd known two people like that, and they weren't the fastest or stronger rowers, but their superpower was adding stability where the boat needed it. Not something you'd see ...

I cannot overstate how important it is, right now, to think of information as a) something you transmit and pass along instead of just receiving; b) something that is more useful to others when passed on for its own sake than when wrapped in media or Discourse criticism.

In order for your design to be successful, you have to get me to log in. Designers who don't understand that the job is to change behaviors will build the product first, get upset when no one is using it, and bully the user into it after the fact. It will be bad UX by definition.

Question for people with #atproto knowledge: can DM timestamps be spoofed in the same way as timestamps for regular posts? I just got a bit of (otherwise very typical) DM spam, but interestingly, it showed the sent date as 10 days ago. Rather mean trick for creating a sense of urgency if so

I haven't told this story in a while, and I don't think on this platform at all. About 10 years ago now, when I was still in deskside support as one of the team leads, we had a two-tech site down a tech and the other heading on a 2 week cruise, and coverage is contractually required.
