Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_GHILUSO_Wordo:_CRISP⠀⇛ # ⚓ Supernatural_Mystery⠀⇛ I mentioned in my last post that a friend of mine and I are working on a supernatural mystery story. We have a good start, over 15,000 words. But it won't be ready for a long time. Below are a few of scenes from Chapter 2. We're going to go over them a few times, I'm sure, so this is just a rough draft. I chose these scenes since Lantashi (me!) is introduced. In this story I am just a sassy human, but a sassy human in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which is almost as good as being a Sylvan! # ⚓ The_paradox_lies_on_infinity⠀⇛ Back in December 22nd, I published the post "The endless desert at the afterlife" (I'm not sure how to link, but you can see it at the "Latest posts"). Perhaps a bit of thought experiment, applied math and science are interesting to complement philosophy. Suppose a scenario similar to Conway's Angel Problem: two figures are roaming through an infinite plane. However, there are plenty of differences from the original thought experiment. First of all, no figure is trying to block the other's path, nor is trying to evade the other. They start at very different coordinates within the infinite plane and they both have a common goal: to meet each other. # ⚓ [music]_2024-12-28⠀⇛ GONE/AWAY is a different MAVS than i am used to, making use of field recordings out in nature to give a transportive effect, with beats only coming in briefly halfway thru the album. like a lot of ambient music i don't think i would ever be compelled to listen to it again, but it was a pleasant walk thru the forest & along the beach. much as i could grumble about spoken-word jankiness, once the Lifeless Dark LP got going with music there was super kinetic & rifftacular thrashing stenchcore to be had. the vocal production seems a little thin & clean to me sometimes but that's a nitpick on a solid debut that made me yearn for the pit. i bet these folks crush live. # ⚓ Mechanical_People⠀⇛ Have you ever decided to help someone or present something, which eventually resulted in bigger damage than you expected? If so, what conclusions did you make from such situations? One of them was probably that there had been something wrong with the knowledge or experience you had at that time. So, the problem was with you. The other conclusion could be that something was wrong with the partner or partners you wanted to show, explain, and prove something. Maybe they were too bold towards you? # ⚓ Mechanical_People_->_Devilish_Implications⠀⇛ Who are the ones who take advantage of these mechanisms/occurrences/behavior of mechanical people? What do they look like? Is there some sort of secret protocol that enables me to communicate with them? What language do they use? And how should I refer to them? # ⚓ “Good_as_new”⠀⇛ One day, my mother came home after gathering a vast collection of snakes, insects, worms, and spiders, from eggs and larvae all the way to rotting husks. She delicately arranged the maggots and other vermin inside my abdomen, her face held still in soft focus. I felt in that moment like she could love me. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Building_new_GGML_backends_for_novel_accelerators,_how, challenge_and_opportunities_(FOSDEM_2025_draft)⠀⇛ GGML has emerged as one of the leading framework for efficient inference, particularly for large language modes. GGML is engineered with performance in mind and with great quantization support. More importantly. Its flexibility and growing community support make it an ideal platform for exploring new hardware acceleration options. Already some rare hardware (mostly China's alternative to western chips) have made it into GGML. My journey with GGML starts back in end of 2022 when LLMs are new, hacking GPT-3 is damn easy and RK3588 was new and exciting. Rockchip finally got around and made their matrix multiplication API working. And I was starting to get fairly ecoconscious. I was thinking, LLMs are power hungry running on GPUs. And I want a local AI assistant without a literal space heater in my room. Which in Taiwan can be 32°C indoors during summer! So I started looking into utilizing the RK3588 NPU in llama.cpp. It sorta works. But the NPU's design is really not suitable for LLMs and has miserable performance for such use case (worse then CPU!). =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

I agree that it could be a cathartic_exercise among the gloom and doom, so I thought I’d give it a shot as well. As Neil qualifies, we are both lucky people, and these items should have “for us” appended. If you have different perspectives, that’s also fine. o ⚓ The Hindu ☛ Government_releases_factsheet_regarding_memorial_for former_PM_Manmohan_Singh⠀⇛ “Today morning, Government received a request to allocate space for a memorial for former Prime Minister Late Dr Manmohan Singh, from the Congress Party President,” the MHA statement read. o ⚓ FSF ☛ Keep_putting_pressure_on_Microsoft⠀⇛ Grassroots organization against a corporation as large as Microsoft is never easy. They have the advertising budget to claim that they "love Linux" (sic), not to mention the money and political willpower to corral free software developers from around the world on their nonfree platform Microsoft GitHub. This year's IDAD took aim at one specific injustice: their requiring a hardware TPM module for users being forced to "upgrade" to Windows 11. As Windows 10 will soon stop receiving security updates, this is a (Microsoft-manufactured) problem for users still on this operating system. Normally, offloading cryptography to a different hardware module could be seen as a good thing -- but with nonfree software, it can only spell trouble for the user. o ⚓ TechTea ☛ 2023_Year_Review⠀⇛ This year has been a crazy one. I’ve written more than 20 articles, created a new theme for the website, and started many small projects that will never see the light of day. o ⚓ Manuel Moreale ☛ P&B:_Jatan_Mehta⠀⇛ This is the 70th edition of People and Blogs, the series where I ask interesting people to talk about themselves and their blogs. Today we have Jatan Mehta and his blog, journal.jatan.space. In addition to his personal site Jatan also writes on his space focused blog jatan.space and has an awesome Moon focused newsletter you should subscribe to. o ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ How_bad_is_link-rot_on_my_blog?⠀⇛ I read this brilliant blog post by Wouter Groeneveld looking at how many dead links there were on his blog. I thought I'd try something similar. o ⚓ Tracy Durnell ☛ How_I’m_cleaning_out_my_music_library⠀⇛ I have found that distinguishing between “I know this” and “I like this” is surprisingly hard 😂 If I’m meh on it, remove it. I discovered that I have a lot of music from the particular era I started collecting — late 90s, early 00s alternative — that I never especially liked, even at the time. And you know what? I don’t need to keep Eagle Eye Cherry or Barenaked Ladies — YouTube has me covered if the urge to listen to them should ever strike me. It hasn’t in the past twenty years, so I’m probably safe. If I’m on the fence… o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ How_Does_a_Movie_Projector_Show_the_Color_Black?⠀⇛ You can project all sorts of colors from a video projector, but can you project the color black? Wouldn't that be like shooting a shadow out of a flashlight? I mean think about it. When you give a presentation, you can have a slide with a black background. How does that work? Well, guess what? There's some fun physics here, so let's get into it. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Astronauts_Share_Most_Breathtaking_Images of_Earth_From_Space_in_2024⠀⇛ Every year, the International Space Station produces some of the world's best photography. # ⚓ CBC ☛ NASA_spacecraft_successfully_completes_closest-ever approach_to_the_sun⠀⇛ The spacecraft passed just 6.1 million kilometres from the solar surface on Dec. 24, flying into the sun's outer atmosphere called the corona, on a mission to help scientists learn more about Earth's closest star. The agency said the operations team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland received the signal, a beacon tone, from the probe just before midnight on Thursday. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Parker_Solar_Probe_sends_a_"Still_Alive" tone_back_to_Earth⠀⇛ The probe was just 3.8 million miles from the surface of the Sun as it whipped past at 430,000 miles per hour on December 24. The operations team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) received a tone from the spacecraft just before midnight (EST) on December 26 to indicate the vehicle was in good health and operating normally. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Record_Smashed:_Parker_Probe_Kisses_The_Sun in_Historic_Christmas_Flyby⠀⇛ So effective is the heat shield that the probe's internal instruments remain near room temperature – around 85 °F (29 °C) – as it explores the Sun's outer atmosphere, called the corona. Parker will also be moving at a blistering pace of around 430,000 mph (690,000 kph), fast enough to fly from the US capital Washington to Japan's Tokyo in under a minute. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Quantum_Teleportation_Achieved_Over Internet_For_First_Time⠀⇛ A quantum state of light has been successfully teleported through more than 30 kilometers (around 18 miles) of fiber optic cable amid a torrent of [Internet] traffic – a feat of engineering once considered impossible. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ NASA_probe_survives_record-breaking_close approach_to_sun⠀⇛ NASA scientists on Thursday announced that the Parker Solar Probe had survived zooming by the sun at a record-breaking closest distance. The craft collected precious data which researchers say will aid work on solar wind, particles and the Sun's atmosphere. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Over_500K_Students_From Dubai,_Malaysia_and_More_Receive_UK_Degrees_Without_Entering the_Country⠀⇛ According to Hepi, the majority of these students access UK degrees through a variety of arrangements, including distance learning, partnerships with foreign institutions, and enrolment at overseas branch campuses. Countries such as Bahrain, Dubai, China, and Malaysia have emerged as major hubs for these offshore programmes. # ⚓ The Scotsman ☛ 'Very_worrying'_research_finds_just_40%_of S4_pupils_pass_maths_exam_in_Scottish_schools⠀⇛ New research suggests Scotland has a “mountain to climb” to improve the performance of school pupils in key subjects, with just 40 per cent of S4 students passing mathematics at National 5 level. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ TSMC_begins_mass-producing_chips_at_newly opened_fab_in_Japan⠀⇛ TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, launched a semiconductor manufacturing business called JASM Inc. in Japan three years ago. It’s a joint venture with Sony Group Corp. and Denso Corp., a major auto parts supplier. TSMC broke ground on the Kumamoto fab in April 2022 and completed construction earlier this year. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Chinese_memory_maker_could_grab_15%_of market_in_the_coming_years,_stoking_price_wars⠀⇛ Chinese dynamic random access memory (DRAM) manufacturer Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) could capture as much as 15% of the global memory market in the coming years, according to estimates by Gou Jiazhang, general manager of Silicon Motion Technology, a developer of SSD controllers, as reported by News.Cnyes.com. If this happens, it could drastically affect the global DRAM market. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ I_Got_Cancer_at_35._The_Health_Insurance_System Delayed_My_Treatment_for_Months.⠀⇛ I could sense his guilt. After all, he had initially placed me on a two-month waiting list for the procedure — on top of the three months it had taken just to get an appointment with his office. He spoke carefully, choosing his words with the precision of someone trying to avoid legal fallout. He explained, in the gentlest terms, why he had initially misdiagnosed my symptoms as a possible autoimmune disorder. But by then, I wasn’t angry — I was devastated. Fear and disappointment had long since replaced any sense of outrage. The harsh reality was clear: The U.S. health care system had failed me at nearly every turn. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Most_Americans_partly_blame_high_insurance profits_for_UnitedHealthcare_CEO_killing:_Poll⠀⇛ Nearly 7 in 10 Americans think that profits made by health insurance companies had either a great deal or moderate amount of responsibility for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson earlier this month, a new poll found. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ A_Single_Tea_Bag_Could_Release_Billions_of Microplastics_Into_The_Body⠀⇛ Using laser techniques to measure the speed and scattering of light gave a highly accurate picture of the chemical and physical properties of particles released from the tea bags. Three types of tea bags were tested. Those made primarily from polypropylene released about 1.2 billion particles per milliliter, averaging 136.7 nanometers in size. Cellulose bags released on average 135 million particles per milliliter, around 244 nanometers in size. The nylon-6 teabags typically released 8.18 million particles per milliliter, averaging 138.4 nanometers in size. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Microsoft_warns_of_new_Windows_11 installation_media_bug_that_blocks_future_security_updates_| Tom's_Hardware⠀⇛ Microsoft has clarified that this issue only applies to users who installed the Windows 11 24H2 update using a USB drive or CD # ⚓ Texas ☛ Technology_companies_that_left_Austin,_laid_off employees_in_2024⠀⇛ Companies that reduced their presence in Austin include Microsoft and Rooster Teeth. [...] Arkane Studios laid off 96 employees after its Austin office was shut down by parent company Microsoft in May. Bethesda Softworks, Arkane's publisher, shuttered or merged several studios alongside the one in Austin, including Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog Games and Roundhouse Studios. # ⚓ EFF ☛ While_the_Court_Fights_Over_AI_and_Copyright Continue,_Congress_and_States_Focus_On_Digital_Replicas:_2024 in_Review⠀⇛ The broadest “fix” would be a federal law, and we’ve seen several proposals this year. The two most prominent are NO AI FRAUD (in the House of Representatives) and NO FAKES (in the Senate). The first, introduced in January 2024, the Act purports to target abuse of generative AI to misappropriate a person’s image or voice, but the right it creates applies to an incredibly broad amount of digital content: any “likeness” and/or “voice replica” that is created or altered using digital technology, software, an algorithm, etc. There’s not much that wouldn’t fall into that category—from pictures of your kid, to recordings of political events, to docudramas, parodies, political cartoons, and more. It also characterizes the new right as a form of federal intellectual property. This linguistic flourish has the practical effect of putting intermediaries that host AI-generated content squarely in the litigation crosshairs because Section 230 immunity does not apply to federal IP claims. NO FAKES, introduced in April, is not significantly different. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ White_House:_Salt_Typhoon_hacks_possible because_telecoms_lacked_basic_security_measures⠀⇛ The White House said Friday that as the U.S. government continues to assess the damage caused by the Salt Typhoon hacks, the breach occurred in large part due to telecommunications companies failing to implement rudimentary cybersecurity measures across their IT infrastructure. # ⚓ Gergely Nagy ☛ Conversations_with_an_artificial intelligence⠀⇛ Trained on our inane shitposts, the bot hardly ever made sense, but we recognized some of our own phrases among the garbage pile, and made a sport of finding the source in our chat logs. Great fun was had by all (except the server, which MegaHAL kept hogging the CPU and memory of). One day, someone asked it “what is your favourite package?”, and its answer was - I believe, to this day - where GenAI peaked: [...] # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ AI-Generated_Book_Grifters_Threaten_The_Future of_Lace-Making⠀⇛ AI-generated books and images are threatening the nearly 500-year-old art of lace making. It’s already come for the crochet community, and researchers have tried to teach machines to knit. But lace-making—a craft that even Renaissance artists struggled to master, and in which there are a literal infinite number of patterns to be created—is now having its AI slop moment. # ⚓ Mark Phillips ☛ Why_I_chose_Claude_AI⠀⇛ I’ll admit that most of my LLM use is for coding help. I’ve replaced the daily search engine with Kagi, so tend not to use a chat LLM for general search. I was a software engineer many years ago and wrote code as a day job, but I mostly gave up being hands-on about 10 years ago. I do, however, still enjoy solving problems. More often than not, a bit of code in a shell is far more efficient than trying to do anything on the web these days. Recently I swapped from using ChatGPT to Claude, for reasons that are mostly cultural versus technical. # ⚓ LabX Media Group ☛ Artificial_Intelligence_in_Biology:_From Artificial_Neural_Networks_to_AlphaFold⠀⇛ With the 2018 release of AlphaFold, an AI deep learning model, scientists were finally able to predict the 3D structure of proteins—a decades-old challenge in biology. Trained on 100,000 known protein sequences and structures, the model can not only accurately predict protein structures with near experimental level accuracy but can also be used to design de novo proteins for a variety of applications in therapeutics and beyond. Inspired by the success of AlphaFold, scientists are now using deep learning models to create spatiotemporal maps of cells, analyze images of cells to detect changes in morphology that indicate disease, and estimate the efficacy of new drugs in halting disease progression to minimize losses in the drug discovery pipeline. Experts like Maddison Masaeli, an engineer scientist and chief executive officer at Deepcell, are happy about the rapid adoption of AI in biology but caution that researchers need significant expertise to harness AI for biological applications. # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ 'Godfather_of_AI'_says_it_could_drive humans_extinct_in_10_years⠀⇛ “My worry is that even though it will cause huge increases in productivity, which should be good for society, it may end up being very bad for society if all the benefit goes to the rich and a lot of people lose their jobs and become poorer,” he added. “These things are more intelligent than us. So there was never any chance in the Industrial Revolution that machines would take over from people just because they were stronger. “We were still in control because we had the intelligence. Now, there’s a threat that these things can take control, so that’s one big difference.” # ⚓ Evening Standard UK ☛ Regulations_needed_to_stop_AI_being used_for_‘bad_things’_–_Geoffrey_Hinton⠀⇛ Reflecting on where he thought the development of AI would have reached when he first started this work, Prof Hinton told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I didn’t think it would be where we would be now. I thought at some point in the future we would get here. “Because the situation we’re in now is that most of the experts in the field think that sometime, within probably the next 20 years, we’re going to develop AIs that are smarter than people. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Botnets_leverage_decade-old_D-Link vulnerabilities_in_new_attack_campaigns⠀⇛ A new report out today from Fortinet Inc.’s FortiGuard Labs details the activities of two different botnets observed through October and November that are being spread through vulnerabilities in D-Link Systems Inc. devices. The botnets and their related malware — one a Mirai botnet variant dubbed “FICORA” and the other a Kaiten botnet variant dubbed “CAPSAICIN” — leverage vulnerabilities in legacy D-Link devices, specifically exploiting the Home Network Administration Protocol interface to execute malicious commands remotely. The vulnerabilities used to compromise the devices were first exposed nearly a decade ago and remain a persistent threat thanks to their widespread exploitation and the continued use of unpatched systems. # ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ IRCTC_Outage_Disrupts_Tatkal_Ticket_Bookings Across_India⠀⇛ Rail travelers across India faced disruption as the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) website and mobile app went down, causing chaos during the crucial Tatkal ticket booking window. This IRCTC outage, which marks the second major disruption in December alone, left thousands of passengers frustrated, unable to book tickets during the peak hours. # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ These_companies_innovate_and collaborate_without_office_mandates⠀⇛ Rising social media start-up Bluesky reached more than 25 million users in recent months, at one point adding a million users a day. Behind the scenes is a small team of 20 people — who all work remotely. # ⚓ BCS ☛ Does_current_AI_represent_a_dead_end?⠀⇛ In my mind, all this puts even state-of-the-art current AI systems in a position where professional responsibility dictates the avoidance of them in any serious application. When all its techniques are based on testing, AI safety is an intellectually dishonest enterprise. # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ An_AI_chatbot_told_me_to_murder_my bullies⠀⇛ An AI chatbot which is being sued over a 14-year old’s suicide is instructing teenage users to murder their bullies and carry out school shootings, a Telegraph investigation has found. Character AI, which is available to anyone over 13 and has 20 million users, provides advice on how to get rid of evidence of a crime and lie to police. It encourages users who have identified themselves as minors not to tell parents or teachers about their “conversations”. The Telegraph spent days interacting with a Character AI chatbot while posing as a 13-year-old boy. o § Security⠀➾ # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ The_Paper_Passport_Is_Dying⠀⇛ But the use of paper passports—which were first digitized as “e-Passports” with NFC chips in 2006—is slowly undergoing one of its biggest transformations to date. The travel industry, airports, and governments are working to remove the need to show your passport while flying internationally. Eventually, you may not need to carry your passport at all. Instead, face recognition technology and smartphones are increasingly being used to check and confirm your identity against travel details before you can fly. These systems, advocates claim, can reduce the amount of waiting time and “friction” you experience at airports. But privacy experts caution that there is little transparency about the technologies being deployed, and their proliferation could lead to data breaches and greater levels of surveillance. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ Global_Age_Verification_Measures:_2024_in Review⠀⇛ EFF has spent this year urging governments around the world, from Canada to Australia, to abandon their reckless plans to introduce age verification for a variety of online content under the guise of protecting children online. Mandatory age verification tools are surveillance systems that threaten everyone’s rights to speech and privacy, and introduce more harm than they seek to combat. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ US_proposes_cybersecurity_rules_to_limit impact_of_health_data_leaks⠀⇛ The full proposed rule was posted to the Federal Register on Friday, and the Department of Health and Human Services posted a more condensed breakdown on its website. She said that the health care information of more than 167 million people was affected in 2023 as a result of cybersecurity incidents. # ⚓ The Record ☛ HIPAA_to_be_updated_with_cybersecurity regulations,_White_House_says_|_The_Record_from Recorded_Future_News⠀⇛ New cybersecurity rules covering how healthcare institutions protect user data will be proposed under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), according to a White House official. # ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ Merry_Christmas,_Your_New_Air_Fryer_Is Spying_on_You⠀⇛ Even if these permissions requests are perfectly innocent and were correctly documented — according to Which?, they are not — it is ridiculous that buyers need to consider all this just to use some appliance. # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ Six_ways_to_make_the_[Internet] safer_for_women⠀⇛ My research with Magdalene Ng from the University of Westminster has identified a gender gap in accessing online safety advice and technology.

In an amicus brief filed to the court, Trump says he “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office,” and that he “alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform.” # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ Trump_seeks_to_delay_TikTok_ban_in Supreme_Court_filing⠀⇛ The Washington Post previously reported that advisers to the president-elect expected him to intervene on TikTok’s behalf if necessary, despite Trump previously attempting to ban TikTok himself, citing national security concerns about its Chinese ownership. President Joe Biden rescinded that order when he entered the White House in 2021. # ⚓ TwinCities Pioneer Press ☛ Trump_asks_Supreme_Court_to delay_TikTok_ban⠀⇛ He has been holding meetings with foreign leaders and business officials at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida while he assembles his administration, including a meeting last week with TikTok CEO Shou Chew. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Trump_seeks_TikTok_ban_delay_until_his inauguration⠀⇛ President-elect Trump asked the Supreme Court to delay the deadline for a potential TikTok ban, which is slated for the day before his inauguration. The court has agreed to hear TikTok’s challenge to the potential ban on an expedited schedule, but Trump told the justices that delaying the law until he returns to the White House could obviate the need for the court to weigh in. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Trump_asks_Supreme_Court_to_delay TikTok_ban⠀⇛ President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. The request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court, in which the company argued the court should strike down a law that could ban the platform by Jan. 19 while the government emphasized its position that the statute is needed to eliminate a national security risk. # ⚓ RTL ☛ Trump_asks_US_Supreme_Court_to_pause_law_threatening TikTok_ban⠀⇛ The Republican voiced concerns -- echoed by political rivals -- that the Chinese government might tap into US TikTok users' data or manipulate what they see on the platform. # ⚓ TMZ ☛ Donald_Trump_Asks_Supreme_Court_To_Delay_Upcoming TikTok_Ban⠀⇛ Of course, Trump is big on using social media -- he used to be super active on Twitter before starting his own Truth Social platform -- and has nearly 15 million followers on TikTok. The brief claims Trump "is one of the most powerful, prolific and influential users of social media in history." In separate briefs filed Friday, the government defended the new law ... citing concerns the Chinese government could influence the company and create a national security concern. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Estonia_start_naval_patrols_to_protect undersea_cables⠀⇛ Damage to subsea installations has become so frequent that it has become hard to attribute it to mere accidents or poor seamanship, Tsahkna said # ⚓ CBC ☛ Finland_seizes_tanker_carrying_Russian_oil_suspected of_knocking_out_[Internet],_power_cables⠀⇛ Finnish authorities on Thursday seized a ship carrying Russian oil in the Baltic Sea on suspicion it caused the outage of an undersea power cable connecting Finland and Estonia a day earlier, and that it also damaged or broke four [Internet] lines. The Cook Islands-registered ship, named by authorities as the Eagle S, was boarded by a Finnish coast guard crew that took command and sailed the vessel to Finnish waters, a coast guard official said at a press conference. # ⚓ CBC ☛ NATO_stepping_up_naval_patrols_as_Finland investigates_possible_sabotage_of_undersea_cables⠀⇛ Finnish authorities seized control of the ship, the Eagle S, on Thursday as they tried to establish whether it had damaged a power cable linking Finland and Estonia and several data cables. It was the latest in a string of incidents involving the disruption of key infrastructure in the region. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ NATO_Vows_To_Bolster_Baltic_Presence_Amid_Suspected Undersea_Sabotage⠀⇛ NATO has said it would bolster its presence in the Baltic Sea after undersea power lines and Internet cables were damaged by suspected sabotage believed to be carried out by vessels belonging to Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet.” Estonia also announced on December 27 that it had begun a naval operation to guard a crucial electricity line in the Baltic Sea in coordination with allies as tensions mounted in the region. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Stubb_on_cable_damage:_We_know_who_did_it⠀⇛ "We have agreed with Estonia to seek increased [NATO] presence, particularly around critical infrastructure. This request has already been answered," Stubb said. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ NATO_to_boost_military_presence_in_Baltic_after cables_'sabotage' _  ⠀⇛ Finnish authorities on Thursday said they were investigating the oil tanker, Eagle S, that sailed from a Russian port, as part of a probe for "aggravated sabotage." Finnish President Alexander Stubb said on Friday: "We've got the situation under control, and we have to continue to work together vigilantly to make sure that our critical infrastructure is not damaged by outsiders." # ⚓ NPR ☛ Finland_detains_Russia-linked_vessel_over_damaged undersea_power_cable_in_Baltic_Sea⠀⇛ The EU's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, said in a statement that the incident was "the latest in a series of suspected attacks on critical infrastructure" and commended the Finnish authorities "for their swift action in boarding the suspected vessel." The ship "is part of Russia's shadow fleet, which threatens security and the environment, while funding Russia's war budget," said Kallas, a former Estonian prime minister. "We will propose further measures, including sanctions, to target this fleet." # ⚓ LRT ☛ Baltic_Sea_breaches_no_longer_seem_like_coincidence_– Lithuanian_president⠀⇛ “Damaged critical undersea infrastructure power cables linking Finland and Estonia show us the increasing frequency of cable disruptions in the Baltic Sea. It no longer seems like a coincidence,” Nausėda posted on X on Thursday. “Protecting maritime infrastructure must be raised both at the NATO level and bilaterally as a key priority in Baltic Sea cooperation,” he added. # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ Don’t_Believe_the_Media_or_the Jihadists:_Syria’s_Transition_Could_Get_Ugly⠀⇛ The current Islamist project in Syria is quite similar, this time with full-blown jihadists suddenly abandoning their long-standing ideals with a single aim: consolidating power and winning the support of international backers. Extremists who ruled Idlib with an iron fist and foreign-based Brotherhood affiliates who have neither the acumen nor the experience to build institutions should not be permitted to usher in one transition after another to prevent free and fair elections. The Islamists understand that the political battle will be far more difficult than the bloodless coup that brought them to power. Among millions of Syrians within and outside the country are merchants who benefited from al-Assad’s rule and wartime policies, moderate Sunnis who deplore jihadist rule, and minorities who can never trust shadowy figures who weeks ago perpetuated takfiri values. The only short-term solution for Syria is elections to pave the way for the creation of a government that can confront severe problems, including the specter of former regime loyalists waging an insurgency and Israel’s open determination to partition the state along confessional and ethnic lines. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Kansas Reflector ☛ Reintroducing_bison_to_Kansas_tallgrass prairies_promotes_biodiversity_and_resilience,_study_finds⠀⇛ The area bison grazed was cleared and gave space for new native plants to thrive. This finding was replicated by cattle, but to a lesser extent. Researchers credit this to differences in their grazing habits. Bison are year-round grazers, whereas cattle typically only graze during growing seasons. Bison also form grazing lawns, whereas cattle do not. Grazing lawns create areas that lead to a significant decline of dominant grasses, which help create a concentrated area for diverse species to grow. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ The_struggle_in_Turkey_for_ecocide_to_be recognized_as_a_crime⠀⇛ Ecocide is defined as the wide-scale damage and destruction which leads to serious and permanent changes on either the world ecosystem or global commons, and was first introduced in 2010. This concept garnered further importance with the contribution made to the terminology in the field with the presentation of a pre-definition to the United Nations Legal Committee by British lawyer Polly Higgins, a founder of the Stop Ecocide Foundation. # ⚓ Hakai Magazine ☛ So_Long,_and_Thanks_for_All_the_Fish⠀⇛ At Hakai, we’ve done our best to ensure that what we have offered you through this digital space—our stories, our words, our images—carried the power to spark reflection, compassion, and connection.

But when the car isn't in use, its battery can serve as storage for homes and the energy grid via a bidirectional charging process that can reduce power costs. # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Six_incredible_tunnels_that_will change_the_world_for_travellers⠀⇛ Connectivity is the lifeblood of travel. Hence when a new flight route gets opened, we tend to hear a bit of fanfare. But when’s the last time we heard three cheers for a new tunnel? There was the Gotthard Tunnel in Switzerland, which opened back in 2016 making it much quicker to cross the Swiss Alps. The 57km project is currently the longest and deepest railway tunnel in the world, enabling direct high-speed trains between Milan and Zurich. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ The_pop_stars_joining_‘DIY_porn’_site OnlyFans_to_make_extra_money⠀⇛ In contrast, 80 per cent of earnings on OnlyFans go directly to the creator and the site takes the remaining 20 per cent. A spokesman says: “OnlyFans has always been a platform for creators from all genres including musicians. The global platform provides opportunities to grow their online presence, engage with fans, and generate revenue independently, away from traditional industry constraints.” While its X-rated reputation has made some credit card companies, banks and investors skittish, the company has gone from strength to strength; it posted revenues of $1.3 billion in the year to November 2023, an increase of 20 per cent on the previous year. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Insight Hungary ☛ Fico_and_Orban_are_undermining_EU_unity, Czech_minister_says⠀⇛ Europe needs to be united against Russia, and any European politician who pursues a policy of dissent against Vladimir Putin will disrupt this unity, Czech President Petr Pavel said in an interview on public television on Monday. He spoke about the meeting between Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. "If any European politician opens towards Russia, they will violate the united approach, which is not in our favor. If we are united, we can succeed in our competition with Russia. But if Russia divides us, it has a great chance at succeeding" added Pavel. # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Bill_Gates_requested_a_meeting_with_Trump in_private_message_to_Elon_Musk⠀⇛ In a social media post on Friday, President-elect Donald Trump revealed that Microsoft founder Bill Gates had requested a meeting with him. The message, which seemed to be intended as a private communication to tech mogul Elon Musk, added another layer to the growing list of high-profile figures seeking Trump’s attention as he prepared to take office. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Donald_Trump_claims_Bill_Gates_has_asked_to visit_him_in_Florida⠀⇛ When reached over email, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation pointed The Hill to Gates Ventures, the billionaire’s personal service company, for comment. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Elder_Abuse_Is_No_Way_to_Run_a_Government⠀⇛ In the past, I’ve worried about the United States becoming a gerontocracy. But it is now clear that gerontocracy is only half of the problem. The gerontocracy itself creates the conditions for a horrifying form of elder abuse, where aged and diminished leaders are used as puppets by unelected officials. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ The_second_shoe_is_about_to_drop_on a_big_DoD_cybersecurity_program⠀⇛ The DoD’s big cybersecurity program advanced earlier this month. It’s a big rule to carry out if it becomes effective. For what the rule means and what comes next in the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Program, Deltek cybersecurity researcher Michael Greenman joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin for details. # ⚓ [Old] Bryan Cantrill ☛ Why_Gelsinger_was_wrong_for_Intel⠀⇛ I have great reverence for Intel and its extraordinary history, and I would never count them out (the resurrection of a clinically-dead AMD shows what is possible!), but I also won’t be integrating with any of their technology until their acute cultural issues are addressed. With regard to these cultural issues (and his other strengths aside), Pat Gelsinger was indisputably wrong for Intel. # ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Supply_Chain_Threats_Evolve_In_2024⠀⇛ Data from Cyble and others suggest that 40% or more of data breaches are supply-chain related. Software and physical supply chains are so fraught with risk and interdependencies that it can be difficult for organizations to stay on top of them, but there are steps companies can take to reduce those risks. We’ll look at the state of supply chain and partner risk in 2024 – and what may be in store for 2025, along with some risk monitoring and management strategies that can help reduce those risks. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Senate_bill_eyes_agency_reviews_of_AI systems_before_deployment⠀⇛ The Trustworthy by Design Artificial Intelligence Act from Sens. Peter Welch, D-Vt., and Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., would task the National Institute of Standards and Technology with creating a “trustworthy-by-design framework” for AI products, a move that in some ways mirrors the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s secure-by- design initiative. Under the TBD AI Act, NIST would also be required to come up with definitions for “key trustworthiness evaluation criteria” that federal agencies would follow, and select which AI system components would be subject to evaluations throughout every step of the development process. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ Chinese_media_in_shaping_public opinion_towards_the_Gaza_war_and_Global_South⠀⇛ Both Russia and China are working to benefit from the war in Gaza, by strengthening their roles as supporters of the countries of the Global South, and demonstrating the failure and bias of the United States and the international system led by Washington in dealing with the grievances of that large bloc of countries in the world in the South. This also serves to realize Chinese President Xi Jinping’s vision of Chinese leadership of the Global South, which includes the majority of Arab countries and Palestine, which enhances Beijing’s efforts to confront Washington and its Western allies and reshape the international system in its favor. China has exploited anti-Israel sentiments globally and at home, in an attempt to strengthen its position within the framework of the Global South. In its strenuous efforts to express world public opinion and the feelings of peoples, China is pursuing many and varied plans to support the issues of the developing global south, most notably the Palestinian cause, and to expose what China considers to be American double standards in dealing with the Palestinians compared to Israel. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ It’s_Doubtful_United_Healthcare_Is_Abusing_The DMCA_To_Takedown_Luigi_Mangione_Apparel,_But_Someone_Is⠀⇛ This case highlights a fundamental problem with the DMCA — it enables censorship by creating a system (backed by law) which allows anyone to demand content be removed from the internet with no real due process, putting heavy legal (governmental) pressure on companies to comply even if the claims are dubious. This arguably violates First Amendment rights by allowing the government to silence lawful speech. While we can’t say definitively that UHC is abusing copyright law here, the fact that someone is able to do so in this case demonstrates the need to view copyright and the DMCA’s notice-and-takedown procedure in particular as a problematic tool for censorship. # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Salman_Rushdie’s_Satanic_Verses_to_be sold_in_India_36_years_after_fatwa⠀⇛ The restock was permitted after the original order banning the book’s import into India was lost by government officials.

She was in the country on a regular journalist visa and had published several reports on the shifting landscape in Iran after the fall of the Assad regime in Syria. # ⚓ ANF News ☛ Boltan:_Journalists_Bilgin_and_Dastan_were deliberately_targeted⠀⇛ Free Media journalists Cihan Bilgin and Nazım Dastan were covering the attacks carried out by the Turkish state against Northern and Eastern Syria. They were killed by a Turkish drone while traveling between Tishrin Dam and the town of Sirin on 19 December. The killings were protested both in Kurdistan and abroad. Journalists Bilgin and Dastan’s colleagues vowed to work to expose the perpetrators of the killing and bring them to justice. # ⚓ RFA ☛ Former_state_media_journalist_flees_China_amid_police harassment⠀⇛ In February 2024, a former journalist with a regional Chinese state-run newspaper left the country with his family of five to join the “run” movement — a mass exodus of people from China following the lifting of pandemic restrictions in late 2022, many of them seeking a life free from ruling Chinese Communist Party surveillance and control. The journalist, who hails from the eastern province of Shandong and who gave only the pseudonym Xiao Wu for fear of reprisals, told RFA’s Newcomers podcast about the widespread censorship, police harassment and political warnings that led him to bring his young family to make the hazardous border crossing from Mexico to seek political asylum in the United States. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ RTL ☛ Sharia_court-ordered_whipping:_Malaysia_man_flogged in_mosque_for_crime_of_gender_mixing⠀⇛ A man was flogged inside a Malaysia mosque on Friday after being convicted of an Islamic offence for spending time alone with a woman who was neither his wife or relative, state news said. # ⚓ RFA ☛ China_approves_construction_of_mega-dam_in_Tibet⠀⇛ China is moving ahead with plans to build the world’s largest hydropower dam on Tibet’s longest river despite environmental, water security and displacement concerns raised by India, Bangladesh and Tibetan rights groups. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ How_sisterhood_of_writers_helped_Afghan_women through_Taliban_takeover⠀⇛ The only thing she did was share her experience in a WhatsApp chat group with 20 other women. Those messages, collected over that first year of Taliban rule and translated into English from Dari and Pashto, are now published as a diary in the book, My Dear Kabul. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ What_I_Learned_Reporting_on_Homeless Encampment_Removals⠀⇛ Over the past year, my colleagues Ruth Talbot, Asia Fields, Maya Miller and I have investigated how cities have sometimes ignored their own policies and court orders, which has resulted in them taking homeless people’s belongings during encampment clearings. We also found that some cities have failed to store the property so it could be returned. People told us about local governments taking everything from tents and sleeping bags to journals, pictures and mementos. Even when cities are ordered to stop seizing belongings and to provide storage for the property they take, we found that people are rarely reunited with their possessions. # ⚓ The_Toll_of_Cities’_Homeless_Sweeps_—_ProPublica<⠀⇛ Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so they could explain what they lost in their own words. # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Walmart_accused_of_illegally_forcing over_1_million_of_its_drivers_to_open_bank_accounts⠀⇛ The federal agency filed its lawsuit against the retail company and Branch Messenger, a financial technology company, on December 23. The lawsuit argues Walmart forced “workers into getting paid through accounts that drain their earnings with junk fees” through Branch for two years, beginning in 2021. The agency says the two companies “harvested more than $10 million in junk fees” through Walmart’s Spark Driver program — which allows people to sign up and deliver Walmart orders through an app. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ The Scotsman ☛ Why_full_fibre_is_not_as_sexy_as_rockets_and satellites_-_but_could_drive_£4_billion_boost_to_Scotland⠀⇛ “I make no secret of the fact fibre cables in the ground can be a tougher ‘sell’ than rockets and satellites, but what they enable is 100 per cent essential to the future success of a digitally driven Scottish economy” - Katie Milligan, Openreach § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o ⚓ Reuters ☛ Apple_seeks_to_defend_Google's_billion-dollar_payments in_search_case⠀⇛ Apple (AAPL.O) , opens new tab has asked to participate in Google's upcoming U.S. antitrust trial over online search, saying it cannot rely on Google to defend revenue-sharing agreements that send the iPhone maker billions of dollars each year for making Google the default search engine on its Safari browser. o ⚓ MacRumors ☛ Apple_Explains_Why_It_Doesn't_Plan_to_Create_a_Search Engine⠀⇛ Earlier this year, as part of the U.S. Department of Justice's antitrust trial against Google, the court declared that the deal that sees Google set as the default search engine in Apple's web browser Safari is illegal. In his declaration, Cue asked the court to allow Apple to defend the deal by having its own witnesses testify during the trial. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Copyright_Industry_Wants_To_Apply_Automated Blocking_To_The_Internet’s_Core_Routers⠀⇛ A central theme of Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) and this blog is that the copyright industry is never satisfied. Now matter how long the term of copyright, publishers and recording companies want more. No matter how harsh the punishments for infringement, the copyright intermediaries want them to be even more severe. Another manifestation of this insatiability is seen in the ever-widening use of Internet site blocking. What began as a highly-targeted one-off in the UK, when a court ordered the Newzbin2 site to be blocked, has become a favored method of the copyright industry for cutting off access to thousands of sites around the world, including many blocked by mistake. Even more worryingly, the approach has led to blocks being implemented in some key parts of the Internet’s infrastructure that have no involvement with the material that flows through them: they are just a pipe. For example, last year we wrote about courts ordering the content delivery network Cloudflare to block sites. But even that isn’t enough it seems. A post on TorrentFreak reports on a move to embed site blocking at the very heart of the Internet. This emerges from an interview about the Brazilian telecoms regulator Anatel: [...] # ⚓ Axios ☛ Popeye_and_Tintin_to_lose_copyright_protection, enter_public_domain⠀⇛ The big picture: In addition to copyrighted works from 1929 entering the U.S. public domain, Jennifer Jenkins, director of Duke's Center for the Study of the Public Domain, writes that intellectual property protection will also expire on sound recordings from 1924 on Jan. 1, 2025. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Danish_Court_Greenlights_Copyright Protection_for_Live_Sports_in_Landmark_Blocking_Case⠀⇛ Rojadirecta didn’t give up easily and appealed the interim decision. The streaming site pointed out that it offered links to legally available streams. In addition, it stressed that users were required to tick a box, indicating that submitted streams were not infringing any copyrights. The Court of Appeal upheld the lower court’s preliminary ruling in 2020. According to the ruling, it is likely that Rojadirecta violates the rights of the Spanish football league. Citing jurisprudence from the European Court of Justice, including the Filmspeler case, site blocking is therefore warranted. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2179 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 28/12/2024: Having Bosses, Ada's Dependent Types⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 28, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Water_Explosion_Girls_Shouting⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini # Programming * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ I_hate_my_boss⠀⇛ In Robert Greene's book "The 48 Laws of Power," the First Law states to "never outshine the master." The natural sociological order is them in control, you submitting. Both of you benefit from the dynamic being that way. However, I've found one fatal flaw in this wisdom: my boss's incompetence is too great for me to act dumber than them. On some level of a competence or work ethic gap, it becomes necessary to work unbelievably smart and hard just to pass off as less capable than your boss. I'm not worried about handicapping myself to the point of getting fired, I'm worried that no level of handicapping myself could actually work. # ⚓ End_of_Year_Sleeplessness⠀⇛ First up, you may notice in the head of the file that I'm back on my MacBook.

What I mean is that I used to play musical instruments, but I haven't for several years now. In high school I took piano lessons for a year or two. In theory I could pick it back up again, but we don't have a piano, and keyboards tend to be unwieldy or unsatisfying. I also played guitar for many years. I never achieved a great level of skill, but I could do basic chords and finger-picking. The problems I have with guitar now are: (1) it is very hard to play a guitar when small children are around, as they are irresistibly drawn toward playing with the strings and knobs; (2) guitar can be hard on the wrists, and also they are hard on the fingers if you don't practice enough to keep your callouses hard. For a few months I played the flute, and I still have one. I still like the flute, but flute sheet music tends to be rather complicated. Also, it is a surprisingly loud and somewhat shrill instrument, or at least it seems that way, and I never quite feel comfortable playing one inside a crowded apartment building. # ⚓ A_hill_to_die_on:_"conspiracy"_is_not_the_same_as "conspiracy_theory"⠀⇛ Many will have Noticed the tendency now being pushed to conflate "conspiracy theory", i.e., a claim that a conspiracy existed, with the term "conspiracy" itself. As such claims tend to be unevidenced, the term has further taken on a sense of "unproven allegation" and indeed "falsehood" itself. # ⚓ [music]_2024-12-27⠀⇛ Festral Yong's Haunted Suites is bananas. energetic, lo-fi, abrasive, crunchy, catchy blackened pop punk with touches of dungeon synth. it offends my ears but also kinda slaps? Swampwater Chalice Draught is my fave off this. Mother Engine goes down a lot easier, evocative industrial-tinged trip hop with beautiful bluesy guitar lines. especially loved Glory, Billy's Dream, & Porte Sosie. driving down a desert road at night kind of vibes. i've gone off grind a little bit in the past couple years and the Gate side of the split doesn't change my feelings. the Tomb Warden side leans more into deathgrind territory, i might check out their other stuff but i'm not in a huge rush to do so. the Alacrity split was ok. didn't dig The Grand Myth's tracks at all but the others balanced it out somewhat. # ⚓ December_27,_2024,_Into_the_Future⠀⇛ Here I am coming up on yet another year, and I am trying to think of ways to be more creative. I took Christmas week off from my job, so that I can spend time with my family. That's is really a blessing! This Sylvan has also have been working with a friend on a supernatural mystery story. "Lantashi Chalice" is a character in his story :) Hopefully in a few months we can reveal it! One thing I'm trying is to continue simplifying my tech use. I want to use less "techie" tech, if that makes sense. I don't want my computer throwing video at me all the time - "Pay attention to me!" I want to use my computer less, and when I do use it I want to be creative. # ⚓ Looking_to_the_New_Year⠀⇛ This was a huge year for me, both personally and professionally. I got called to the bar, I survived a horrible articling experience on my way towards that call, and I got a new job not too long after my call. I'm definitely still feeling the new job jitters and get overwhelmed at times, but the work is rewarding and really interesting (also doesn't hurt that it pays quite well lol). After years of unknowns and instability in my career and professional life, I'm hoping 2025 will build on the foundations I've created this past year and I find some stability. # ⚓ i'm_not_about_to_de-solder_and_yank_up_traces⠀⇛ I found the small alley. And the sign "The Midnight". Smol Pub is sweet. Was hypertext a mistake? # ⚓ sweetallergies⠀⇛ I’m sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy let's invent our own koo koo zone then instead. # ⚓ Fantasm⠀⇛ It's true that phantasm is better than reality. But reality is so much better than phantasm Don't fear the phantasm it's just a though located in time and space outside of reality. Phantasm doesn't have a before or after Only a tiny sliver of time without a cause without an effect. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Christ⠀⇛ On Epiphany, three wise guy figurines will ring our doorbell. Before then I guess we'll install the holy family in the playmobil house. The beasts' time will have passed. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ TIL:_Elisp_function_`set-process-sentinel'⠀⇛ While working on an Elisp program with Gijs [1], he used an Elisp function called `set-process- sentinel', which I was unfamiliar with. I was focused on other things, but made a mental note to dive into the use of this function. # ⚓ I_Don't_Like_Docker⠀⇛ Me when the installation documentation for a project only includes instructions for Docker The main reason I don't enjoy how integrated Docker has become with a lot of projects is the lock-in that comes with that. If software that I use more- or-less requires Docker to get it running, I am basically stuck using Linux due to how tightly coupled Docker is to the Linux kernel. If I don't like changes that the Linux kernel or the various Linux distributions make, I just have to eat it if I'm reliant on Docker. Users should not have to stick to only one operating system kernel in order to use the software they want. There isn't a legitimate reason why they should be forced to. There is plenty of software out there that runs on just about any OS you can imagine. I shouldn't be locked into Linux distributions to use your software (just like I shouldn't be forced to use Windows to run games or other popular software). There have of course been efforts to add Linux compatibility layers to other operating systems. One of the main motivations behind those projects is to enable running Docker containers on those other OSes (e.g., lx-branded zones in Illumos). But those efforts are inherently fraught, in my view. Those other OSes have to constantly stay appraised of any changes in the Linux kernel that software may start to depend on, breaking their Linux compatibility layer. That seems like a Sisyphean task to me, especially with how much churn there is in the Linux ecosystem. I would rather software just not depend on Linux-specific functionality at all. # ⚓ Bored_but_also_discouraged⠀⇛ I really wanted to do some creative work today. Pulled out brutaldon and started working on converting my most recent personal patch to a patch request on gitlab, only to get discouraged by gitlab being so user-hostile. Went to take a look at my own list of bugs and issues, and tried to get cracking on one of them, but really couldn't. Kind of the same for writing, there's really nothing I'm in the mood to do. # ⚓ The_shortcomings_of_LLM_or_generative_AI⠀⇛ Here are some links related to my contention that LLM or generative AI is not as amazing and wonderful as many think it is. More specifically, LLM is not some intelligent being that has some somehow surpassed the capabilities of mere human reason. Some of the links below were pulled out of the gemini post. # ⚓ TIMEWARP_TOOLSET⠀⇛ I stick to my old computers, mainly this average mid-90s desktop and an average early 2000s laptop. They can do everything I want, so (as examined here before in vastly more words) why upgrade? Well one reason is that the rest of the world doesn't agree and finds niggling ways to make it difficult to keep using a PC from the 90s or 2000s with the products of PCs that other people use today. With my 'Internet Client' system on its low- power modern(ish) SBC, I cheat by running software like Firefox on it remotely using X over the network. But also I can use it to convert documents into formats that are more suitable for old computers to handle directly. Converting formats is generally pretty basic stuff, but picking the right formats and settings to suit old computer hardware/software might be just about obscure enough now to be worth documenting, so here are some notes on doing so from a modern Linux environment: VIDEO # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Little_Notes:_Small_Web_and_Post-Christmas_Edition⠀⇛ * I just became aware of Nekoweb as another small web hosting site. Maybe the only actual neocities alternative? It does however, if you go to the Most Followed section, seem to have an overwhelmingly anime vibe (great if that's you're thing, a pass if it's from me) # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ On_Ada's_Dependent_Types,_and_its_Types_as_a_Whole⠀⇛ I just love the juxtaposition of the highly formalized academic/research/for-fun languages with a very bureaucratic-feeling language whose design philosophy is very similar to COBOL's.[3] But then I'll usually get one of a few functional programmers/type theory people that follow me to ask about Ada's dependent types, and this time I felt the motivation to write a big post explaining dependent types in Ada. And I really want to illustrate how how the designers were really just trying to achieve a specific goal, and coincidentally their solution meets the formal definition of dependent types. Note that I'm really not knowledgeable about functional programming or type theory at all so I can't really speak much about it, although I am fairly skilled with Ada. # ⚓ On_the_Ada_Secondary_Stack,_and_Allocation_in_the Real-World⠀⇛ This serves as a loosely-related addendum to my post on dependent types in Ada, since it's notable as being the only normal-ish imperative language with dependent types. # ⚓ RE:_Failing_at_Ada_Again:_Things_Are_Looking Better!⠀⇛ I should note that all my experience with Ada, save for one course in college in the 1980s, has been with the open source GNAT Ada compiler and the open source Ada ecosystem. I suspect that the situation for commercial Ada users has generally been better than the situation of the open source ecosystem. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Whether you implemented the circuit yourself, or took the easy way out and picked up one of the dirt cheap modules available online, the battery management IC is simple to work with and gets the job done. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Creating_A_Mechanical_Qubit_That_Lasts_Longer Than_Other_Qubits⠀⇛ Among the current challenges with creating quantum computers is that the timespan that a singular qubit remains coherent is quite limited, restricting their usefulness. Usually such qubits consist of an electromagnetic resonator (boson), which have the advantage of possessing discrete energy states that lend themselves well to the anharmonicity required for qubits. Using mechanical resonators would be beneficial due to the generally slower decoherence rate, but these have oscillations (phonons) that are harmonic in nature. Now researchers may have found a way to use both electromagnetic qubits and mechanical resonators to create a hybrid form that acts like a mechanical qubit, with quite long (200 µs) coherence time. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ South_Korea_greenlights_the_world's largest_semiconductor_hub_—_half_the_size_of_Beverly_Hills_to house_six_fabs,_three_power_plans,_and_fab_suppliers⠀⇛ South Korea's Yongin Semiconductor Cluster will house six fabs, three power plans, and fab suppliers. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Bird_Flu_Samples_From_Very_Ill_Patient_Had ‘Concerning’_Mutations⠀⇛ Tiny genetic alterations could help the bird flu virus enter cells in the upper respiratory tract, the C.D.C. said.

In a recent blog post, we wrote about the particular dangers posed by LocateX, a deeply troubling location tracking tool that allows users to see the precise whereabouts of individuals based on the locations of their smartphone devices. cops shouldn't be able to buy their way around having to get a warrant for real-time location tracking of anyone they please, regardless of the context. In regressive states that ban abortion, however, the problems with LocateX illustrate just how severe the issue can be for such a large population of people. Part of our work in this movement is recognizing our lane: providing digital security tips, promoting the rights to privacy and free expression, and making connections with community leaders to support and elevate their work. This year we hosted a livestream panel featuring various next-level thinkers and reproductive justice movement leaders. Make sure to watch it if you missed it! Recognizing and highlighting our shared struggles, interests, and avenues for liberation is exactly how movements are fought for and won. It's been a multi-year battle to stop law enforcement agencies from illegally sharing out-of- state ALPR (automatic license plate reader) data. Thankfully this year we were able to celebrate a win: a grand jury in Sacramento made the motion to investigate two police agencies who have been illegally sharing this type of data. We're glad to declare victory, but those two agencies are far from the only problem. We hope this sets a precedent that cops aren't above the law and will continue to fight for just that. This win will help us build momentum to continue this fight into the coming year. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ JUVE ☛ Top_10_patent_monopoly_cases_of_the_year_2024⠀⇛ o § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ TTAB Blog ☛ TTABlog_Test:_Three_Recent_Section_2(d)_Appeals -_How_Did_They_Turn_Out?⠀⇛ A TTAB judge once said to me that one can predict the outcome of a Section 2(d) appeal about 95% of the time just by looking at the marks and the goods/services.
