At some point I wonder where and when AI will just be taken as a means of exfiltration of knowledge from the traditional cathedrals/bazaars/silos - I mean, obviously, the more that knowledge is shared the more valuable it becomes

Its one thing to not trust ones government. Its another to do something truly effective about it. Alas, the American people seem to be utterly paralyzed. Catatonic, even. When all it really needs is civic responsibility and an understand

>mass surveillance Its not mass surveillance by the state, exclusively. Its also the potential for mis-use and corruption by criminal networks. Plus, there's that whole degradation of culture factor. Sure, you trust your government

The judicious use of the royal we, is where he triggered my spidey senses. Mark seems to deflect it in his response, also using the royal we. But yeah, the ego fluffing, the fixation on terms, and the dialectic generalizations, this all a

The email reads as if parts of it were dictated, and subsequent parts of it were taken from realtime notes, i.e. a third party is noting, episodic, everything Gates did during that attempt to install MoveMaker .. and then it was refactored

The purpose is to be able to run a decent Linux setup while also having MacOS for things. Not everyone is stuck on the anti-Apple train; some of us put software on all the platforms and thus using the hypervisor for this use case is quite

We Oric-1/Atmos users have been enjoying the heck out of wiring up an RP2040 to our systems .. it makes an excellent peripheral controller .. adds USB mice, keyboard, mice, etc. to 40 year old systems. Just wanna say, adding the RP2040

I was there the night GRL got a rig working, f&m piling gear onto the bicycle cart, and trundling it around Vienna, looking for apt spots to beam things. It appealed to my seedbombing instincts immensely, of course, and is such an obvi

I have indeed built my own desk, my own shelving system, my own kitchen layout. You'd be surprised how easy it is to use a rotary or jig saw once you actually use one. Of course, one would not have to be so antiseptic about, you know,

The October flood of crows and other migratory birds down the Danube, past Vienna, is pretty awesome though, to be fair. Like a river of birds in the sky each day, and it is an inspiring sight indeed.

A couch is something I've shared with my loved ones, old and new, watching TV, chatting together, crying together, having real memories over time. A dinner table, same factor: life is punctuated by the scratches and tears that accrue.

Yes, good clarification, I personally spend my times at Grillplatz 11 on the Neue Donau side of Donau Insel (Danube Island) .. it has been a wonderful summer and the water is delightful. Very safe and rewarding swim, every time.

While helping friends move, as one does, I often challenge them to disassemble and reassemble their IKEA gear and still have it tight on the other side, so to speak, of the particle board .. Some do it with grace, some of us with a bit of d
