Lol. Hegseth me boy, first you lash out because you don’t like how your face looks in the papers. Now you don’t like how your war looks like in the papers. Tough luck.

I was told firejail is more secure. This is fine.

Iranian leaders have had decades to prepare for plans for the event that Khamenei Sr. is murdered by US or Israel like what those actors have done to others in the Middle East under multiple presidents. From the outside it seems that plan is more or less underway. Trump’s planning ability now goes out to a few hours, at best.

TIL it has purposely not been implemented by the main developers in over a decade for ideological reasons. There are scripts and forks to enable it by default.

Aside from the point that Jellyfin is meant to browse your own personal collection of files usually after the fact…

Some file formats like mkv do work even if partially downloaded, so if you’re downloading a torrent for a free libre open source movie, choose the option to download chunks in sequential order, and I think there’s a way that you can watch while downloading.

🫰Done! I’ve deleted all existing recovery infrastructure! Now your disaster recovery routine has been reduced to 1 second, which is the time it takes to put your human head in your hands and cry!

Well just like a MATLAB plotting program “draws” lines and curves and stuff, Claude is a programs that puts together various reasonings based on the mathematician’s input.

An actually interesting use of artificial intelligence being able to accomplish something, when put in the hands of expert mathematicians. Definitely a lot of coaxing it back to doing the task correctly but it is pretty cool that it can solve problems (even if they are math nerd ones) in a way that are independently verifiable.

The US government - and they did this with Canada too - have resorted to lying to pretend other countries succumbed to their extraordinarily stupid demands, because other countries have long found out that going along with them brings nothing of value.

“Production-ready”

I totally believe it’s ready for production at Microslop Corporation. They need a larger % of code written by AI, of course.

Oops, pretending to take the moral high ground is out the window as soon as MIC dollars are at risk.

Update: and seems like being ready to toss principles aside wasn’t enough for the Trump administration.

Just last week Pierre went on a tone-deaf dogwhistle in Parliament against immigrants and refugees receiving proper healthcare. He got called out on it on CBC’s Power & Politics by Le Devoir columnist Emilie Nicolas.

While I’d prefer better off-by-default and making AI opt-in, this is the next best option. Good job Mozilla.

Kinda neat about the human responses… sure some are trolling but maybe we have to test our global expectations. In North America, a car wash tends to be this garage thing with either automated cleaning or a set of supplies to clean your car, and your car has to be in the shed to be cleaned effectively. But if washing your car by hand is the norm, I wonder if people in some countries surmise that the cleaning staff could just walk over with the sponges, buckets and hoses and stuff to the car, if you’re already 50 metres away from the washing point.

According to Sheinbaum in this morning’s address, the operation was planned and executed by Mexican federal authorities, and pinpointed el Mencho’s location through their own strategic analysis of the information they had. The only involvement of the USA in this operation was the two-way exchange of information and intelligence surrounding the target.

Steve Burke (of GN) described the absurdity pretty well, within the context of the currently uncertain Nvidia and OpenAI deal:

Nvidia offered OpenAI $100B in investment, money that it didn’t have, as long as OpenAI gave that money back to Nvidia to lease GPUs that haven’t been made, to then put in data centres that haven’t been constructed, which will be powered by electricity that hasn’t come online, to then rent to users who haven’t subscribed, to provide them features that haven’t come to fruition.

Oh, thank god, I was worried if there might not be a worldwide surveillance dragnet for in case I lost a pet iguana.

Who has more money? OpenAI needs buttloads of it right about now from all the promises they have made.

Hell, the Mexican colectivo van driver closes the sliding doors on his rattly 20 year old van simply by hard braking.
