can we fucking design for consent already? yeah, i’m a xyzzillion years late, but ID requirement shit + You as-a Product is batshit.
not a fan of web3/crypto; decentralized is awesome.
besides “old lady yells at cloud services”, any ideas what the fuck to do?

X as-a Y.

- it's everywhere, and has been for a while
- it's not as sexy as AI, but it's insidious as it reframes bullishit into monthly subscription dollars by reframing into providers and consumers.
what it really wants to be is ”Devotion as-a Service”

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, but he is occasionally a temporarily useful tool (and David Icke is definitely a tool)
David Icke, notorious English peddler of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about lizard people, is calling out Elon Musk on Twitter and it is fascinating to watch:

ok @corsair.com mb + cpu power cables, 4-pin fan splitter, 2x pcie power cables (not shown) complete.
now let's see how badly i'll have to alter the drive power cables to fit this murphy build...

Deep etch into ferrite with a fiber laser works well. Time to make replacement recording heads for disk drives and video recorders!

... and by murphy build, i mean:
- full custom cables, including fans
- squeeze heatsink by 2mm
- lap heatsink bottom as the heatpipes twisted in the aluminum block
- custom drive mounting for 10x 2.5” 200gb sas 12g ssd cache
- fixing airflow and replacing shitty fans
- grinding the front bezel

@corsair.com 12-inches is not long enough!
custom cables it is...
... this is turning into a murphy build. don't particularly care, save for the time ”wasted” on building it correctly instead of using bullshit extenders...
so why are you doubling wires on the psu/mb cable? (type 4)

twitter suggested a grok prompt:
”Draw me on New Years partying with fireworks. Include large golden '2025' in huge text with a famous landmark near me in the background”
looks nothing like me, nor am i anywhere within 2000km of those landmarks... and i certainly don't have 2 right hands

when the heatsink is 3mm too tall for a 3u chassis, make it a bit shorter by bending the heatpipes just a little.
can't find the i/o plate... this is going to vex me. is @asrockrack on here?

i've never met a rackmount chassis that didn't need power tools to correct basic things..
this build require an angle grinder, a jigsaw, an a shitload of filing to correct airflow problems as well as getting the drive cage to fit and open against the front bezel.

i was just exposed to this: so far it looks rad. i'm massively slep deprived (notice that missing e? my sleep has been short) so i'm not going to comment on it this evening, but posting about it will remind me to examine it tomorrow!
This is Satelital, a puzzle game about space exploration.
It's been in development for 4 years and to make it I crafted a custom engine by hand.
Is still a work in progress but it's time to start sharing something!

@anthropic.com i read the 'golden gate' paper last night... a phenomenal piece of work.
it'll take me a bit to digest, but it has me asking a lot of possibilty stupid questions, such as 'how can we compare concept spaces' and 'what exactly does that even mean'.
stupid questions are good.
