I always welcome, and look forward to, being proven wrong.
No one who is impressed by the current applications of LLMs should be in any way involved with making decisions which affect those not similarly cognitively impaired. It’s no different to religions or economics.
‘AI’ is my newest litmus test for whether who I’m engaging with should be taken seriously or not. ‘AI’ doesn’t exist, and LLMs have vanishingly narrow legitimate justifiable use cases. Any output from one is…

The use case for Ternary logic I’m familiar with for is TCAMs in networking gear. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-addressable_memory#Ter...
I originally had only my MX hosts listed in my SPF record, and configured to accept them exclusively. Microsoft unilaterally blocked the entire /23 my VPS resides within, and refused to exclude my configured IPs from…
It’s randomised in a similar way to how iOS creates privacy MAC addresses for each WiFi SSID. The merchant receives the same ‘random’ card number for transactions from the same device.
A: I already explicitly avoid products that are encrusted in this shit. B: I have not used either of these products since their respective changes, even though they’re otherwise still perfectly functional. A notable…
And Comcast were the biggest proponents of building IPv6 support into the DOCSIS specs, because they exhausted 10/8 in the management network for their modem fleet.

This equipment would be installed outside, the difference being to position it near, or coupled to, the compression loop of the heat pump. When the pump is running, it draws from the battery, which will need to…
I’m sick of every product now requiring I establish, and maintain, a personal relationship with the manufacturer. Notable examples for myself are Wahoo Fitness[1], Water Rower[2] and Roche’s Accu-Chek[3], which all now…
Charities, as they exist today, serve as a void into which corporations and governments can abdicate their respective responsibilities. Continuing to tolerate charities, at least in their current form, is complicity.
I see billionaire individuals and organised charities as polar extremes of the same policy failure. Neither should exist, and when they do it should be as an ephemeral anomaly. Any charity which fails to prioritise…
Contorting myself to fit a mould I find profoundly reprehensible has done wonders for perpetuating my depression and suicidality. I don’t want to develop my sociopathy to the level required to be mistaken for acceptable…
Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking. It indiscriminately pollutes the environment, and inflicts harm on non participants by incentivising unbridled data collection.
I gave Google the benefit of the doubt right up until they introduced their real name policy, haven’t had an active account since.
My current thesis, from a position of absolute agnostic ignorance, is economics is what filled the void in society vacated by religion after the enlightenment. They’re functionally indistinguishable, with mythology…
My point is more general. If you ever arrive at a notion which involves an attempt to reclaim v4 address space, it’s a specious conclusion and you need to refactor your premise. A better use of your time and attention…
Any effort that may be applied to reclaiming v4 address space will always be better directed to expanding global v6 connectivity.
Neoliberalism overwhelmingly rewards self interested behaviour, explicitly at the expense of cooperative and altruistic counterparts, which iteratively nurtures disproportionate sociopathic tendencies in those who…
I bought and built this for my 21st, which is now over 21 years ago.
Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden became superfluous vestiges on 2001-09-12 when the world’s governments took a hard right and created the world they prophesied.
I’ve wondered for a while if it is viable to use multiple hashes, or nested hashes, to mitigate these vulnerabilities, for example: message+hash1(message)+hash2(message) message+hash1(hash1(message)) To my lay…
We’re a nation of convicts that grew up to be wardens.
