Secret shame: love watching these videos where people have conversations with compsci grads about why they can't get a job

these people graduate knowing nothing. "what's a signed integer" level of not knowing anything

I think Steam Machine has fixed my cynicism and I can be excited again.

I barely even play games anymore.

Oi, mate you got a loicense for those UDP packets that look like they could be encrypted?
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.

The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.
Exclusive: Ofcom is monitoring VPNs following Online Safety Act. Here's how

The more time goes on and the more GenAI is pushed, the more and more grateful I am for being forced to read Aquinas and Aristotle. I think too much light is made of the uniqueness of human cognition and the will to outsource that to a symbol generator is sinful.

for some reason i find local LLMs kind of charming in a way the mass consumer stuff is not. you built a mini-cluster out of raspberry pis that takes 37 minutes to generate a 3 second clip of video that sucks? i don't see the point but that's classic computer dork shit, have fun pal

Going to start asking people how many stars they have on GitHub before I answer any questions. Unfortunately, that does mean by Biggest Opp will definitely be able to talk to me.

I'm bearish on Rust this week because a daemon that runs on basically every host at work is being rewritten in Rust from C++ and they're doing it piecemeal using bindings. This part is fine. The pain is that they're introducing new exceptions in the Rust code that aren't handled in the C++ side.

I've only just clocked that all of the rewrites of core system tools in Rust are also *just happened* to be licensed under MIT. Enshittification of FOSS OSes is inevitable, I fear.

Chai just told me she was mixed race because "when you're inside me, I'm 10% white."

Incredible review tbh

Let Chai hold the Contax G2 and she fired off like 3 frames being like "the sounds are so good!"

She's right, but that was a 12th of a roll of 800T

Been in "from bean to cup, you fuck it up" mode for so long that I came close to crying when I managed to fix an issue we've had in the house for a while.
