Time travel into the past is—I’m sorry—impossible. Time travel into the future, well; I’ll tell you tomorrow. Kidding! Okay, consider this: there are a thousand pyramids in Egypt, but zero intact mummies. Yes looters la la la but also focused gravity wave rectifiers. Sandstone is hardly an ideal […]

Stumbled on the Shell Game podcast: I'm listening to the first season from 2024 where the narrator creates an AI voice agent as himself, hooked up to ChatGPT, and sends his "persona" out into the world. I expected it'd be insufferable, but although it's disturbing on multiple levels it's also […]

The branding team behind MS office looked at clippy, their most hated feature for many years, and thought "what if we make the whole software package clippy. What if it's clippy the whole way day. And we brand it as clippy too. Maybe the. The users will truly love clippy"

I put a payment card on my cat's collar so she doesn't have to steal fish. When they bought her home in the divvy van last night I found out she's been getting cash out at the woolworths checkout and buying black market brushies from escaped roombas. I'm sorry but I don't know what the roombas […]

John Pilger had a documentary about Venezuela - a good crash course for why they invaded today.

It'll also be a delight to get past the period where it's impossible to know whether a restaurant/cafe/bar is open, because festive hours are uncertain and they never update their socials or Google Maps! I swear that's getting worse, maybe because social media is dying. Still, no excuse.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Hacking Washing Machines talk video from #39c3. Had expected it'd be about IoT stuff, but it was mostly about old fashioned diagnostic protocols! Some great reversing efforts.
