  1. How it looks like things are going and how it feels are not the same thing.

    Life has been looking good on the outside lately, but feeling? Not so much. Too much running around, getting sick, private disappointments.

    A reminder that:
    - visibility isn’t the same as impact
    - every accomplishment has a ton of work (and failures) underneath it
    - too much is too much, even when a lot of it is good

    So I’m thankful for a well-timed girls’ trip. I was so fried I didn’t even want to bring my laptop. (I did, just in case... but it never came out of my bag.) One day of torrential rain, so we stayed in drinking tea and spa-ing. One gorgeous day of a long walk and more spa.

    Here’s a picture of insides and outsides finally matching: hair a mess, no makeup, somewhere beautiful, having a great time with friends.

  7. “Over the years, we have gotten very used to getting bizarre emails from sources. Many allege to have uncovered some sort of CIA conspiracy, or suggest that they are being tracked by the government. Many of these emails are long and meandering, are sent to dozens of email addresses at once, and generally make no sense. The emails we’ve been getting recently aren’t like that. They are emailing us specifically because they have a tech problem, don’t know where to turn, and ChatGPT is telling them to contact us, is writing the email for them, and is compiling ‘evidence packets,’ ‘forensic trails,’ ‘evidence dossiers,’ ‘original correspondence,’ a ‘bounded set of primary records,’ and a series of questions we are supposed to investigate.”

  8. RIP Walter Koenig

  9. : "This is the best article of why was able to turn it around.
    Populist FDR style “New Deal” policies in the country, the people of appreciate. This is the antidote to the right wing populism, oligarch/fascist fkry, consolidation of wealth and power, and use of hatred scapegoating the politically weak and marginalized people. This is to fascism what garlic is to vampires. FDR knew it and used it to beat back the rise of the Fascist NAZI movement in the USA in the 30s. It’s time for a New, ." @markruffalo

  10. Right. It's still my birthday for a few hours, so I'm going to ignore the internet entirely and postpone anxiety and dread related to Anthropic's IPO till tomorrow.

    (last week was worst workweek in at least five years; and if I don't unplug from tech news entirely, this will probably be the worst week off.)

  11. Walter . Fantastic actor.

    He will of course always, and rightly, be remembered as Pavel Chekov in but, for me, his most memorable and best performance was as Alfred Bester in . It was so different to Chekov and he played it so well that I never thought of him as Chekov, always Bester.

  12. I really gotta get a web site up with some kind of satisfying finality, because this place ain't cohost, and while i love writing longform thoughts, microblogging is the worst place to do that

  13. Evening calm at Little Tipsoo Lake near Chinook Pass, with Mount Rainier mirrored in the still water.

    I framed the reflection between the trees on either side so your eye drifts straight to the mountain. Not a ripple on the lake that night.

    Do you prefer Rainier at sunrise or in evening light? 🏔️📷

  14. ( neocloud ) Nebius is 0.6GW hyperscaler. It is not 1GW, regardless what the ads say.

    ( néocloud ) Nebius est un hyperscaler de 0.6GW et non de 1 GW malgré les publicités.

  15. "I cannot let you do this," Chekov said, keeping his phaser pointed directly on the man that resembled him, maybe his father, with the age gap.

    "As if you can stop me; you are not even of the Psi Corp," Bester said in contempt.

  16. Hm, this "rock guitar masterclass" book has too many errors, and too much classical fiddling (i.e. Bach...) without any purpose except for finger practice. Feels like straight out the 80s, aka "become a shredder...", and probably is.

    I don't care very much for playing like Malmsteen etc., so I'll see if it gets better, and drop out if it won't.

  17. Quick lunch run in between emails and online teaching. On fitness track and forest paths mostly.

  20. "This release did cost about 6 weeks of my spare time, including some extra time during my vacation. If you feel that i should not have spent that much time on this old package: you are not alone."

  21. Those three basic operations -- load, store, call -- are often available through JTAG or SWD, so I've used them in the past to "inject" a basic Forth kernel into uncooperative systems through the debug port.

    On CFM specifically, the CPU exposes a debug port, so on the dual core models I have one CPU in charge of the other CPU's debug port. Recompiling the system is done through the debug port into the second core, and then when it's fully baked, it extracts the memory image and writes it somewhere.

  22. It’s been way too long since I’ve done any C programming. Teaching Python and Java has had more of an effect than I had realized.

  23. HOLY CRAP LRZSZ MADE A RELEASE

  24. 60,000 'voluntary' redundancies at Microsoft. They're ALL IN on the 'We're an AI host now' idea...when it pops I don't see what will remain of Microsoft after this. They've forgotten their heart it seems. Build good apps, sell them cheap.

  25. My Forth bootstrapping docs reference this 1991 article by Frank Sergeant: pygmy.utoh.org/3ins4th.html

    It's a little hard to interpret for a modern eye, because (1) it's very Forth-specific and (2) it uses some terms in idiosyncratic ways, even for the time and audience. The basic idea it proposes is:

    If you get enough code or hardware into a computer to be able to store bytes, load bytes, and call subroutines, you can build all the other software from that. You can program small subroutines and then _start calling them_ to add higher level operations. (On a Harvard architecture machine you may need more operations than that. On a native stack machine like CFM, I'd also include stack push/pop.)

    This turns out to be a pretty general idea that isn't specific to Forth, though I haven't seen this exact approach used by systems other than Forth.

  26. When Apple announced there was going to be a folding-screen iPhone, I figured there were two possible explanations. The first was that they had figured out how to solve an industrial design problem with folding-screen phones that nobody else had been able to solve. The other was that the days when Apple would let a market niche slide because they couldn't come up with a product to fill it that met their standards were over.

    So, yeah
