Wire - 154

Got tired of waiting to find an original press of one of my favorite albums from my high school years. Nothing but great songs. This album helps make their side project, Dome, make more sense. #vinyl @vinylrecords #punk #postpunk #artrock #progrock

À young man takes a photo of a desert valley from atop a mesa. His mother photographs him taking a photo of a desert valley from atop a mesa. I take a photo of a mother taking a photo of her son taking a photo of a desert valley from atop a mesa. Behind me there is a man with a camera. What is he up to?

Oops I did a thing (I will publish in a few days after some review)
screenshot of an ebook that i wrote called AI Safety Cookbook. text reads: AI is writing emails, diagnosing patients, approving loans, teaching students, reviewing legal contracts. When it screws up, people get hurt. Not “oops” hurt—actual harm to their health, finances, education, legal rights. Most organizations deploying AI don’t know how to test it. The available resources are either dense research papers or vague “best practices” that tell you nothing practical. This book gives you recipes you can use today. Run your first safety test in 15 minutes with just a web browser. Find prompt injection vulnerabilities. Test for bias. Build systematic evaluation processes. Scale it up with automation. Everything here is copy-paste ready—actual prompts, tool configs, real examples of things breaking. Who should read this Product teams shipping AI features. Smaller companies without research labs. Red teamers who need to break AI systems. Domain experts (doctors, lawyers, teachers) evaluating AI in their field. Policy makers trying to figure out what “AI safety testing” actually means. You don’t need to be technical. Chapter 1 works if you can use a web browser. Later chapters get more technical, but the core ideas stay accessible.

Xmas to myself - got some stuff at Charley’s Records in #albuquerque to go along with the new platter mat my brother gifted me. #vinyl @vinylrecords #cratedigging

Nice seeing my old friend Dave there. We talked a lot about all the people who’ve died.

À pairing of a well-dressed man sitting à à table selling clocks. Two watches behind him look like kamikazi planes coming in fast. The perspective is flattened to two dimensions. In the bottom right the shadow of a bald man with glasses taking a picture is projected on the wall. À shot through a doorway, then an arch reveals A crowd of small clay figures celebrating something in front of the cathedral in the background. The colors and clay work, and depicted wardrobe suggest South or Central American culture.

BTW. While we're making a big deal about the censored 60 minutes report, worth noting the PBS Frontline report on CECOT is online and can be watched free. Trump *tried* to destroy PBS as he did 60 minutes, & did manage to kill the 58-year-old CPB, but PBS so far survives. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

This morning's old-man #workout #music is from the legendary Motörhead - recorded live in 2011. Didn't pick up the kettle bells this morning as this had all the heavy metal I needed.

This morning's #workout #music is from an impressive #duet - Julia Biłat on cello & Dudù Kouate on #drums and noise makers. Very much in the tradition of #maxroach and his work with singular musicians.

Dear Lovers of good metal:

This is Dymna Lotva, a post-black metal band from Belarus. They had to flee their country and have recently been classified as an "extremist organization" by a Belorussian court.

Their sound is awesome & unique.

Show them your love by buying some of their music? […]
