Kait walks through what she found out about Bill Barr’s family, and when combined with Cliff’s personal experiences in New York with those connected to the Barrs—and his background in #history of #US. intelligence—they put some serious puzzle pieces in place. You’ll never look at the #Trump ’s corrupt-as-Tammany-Hall-on-meth DOJ the same way again.

Because they go By the time the conversation reaches #Epstein ’s so-called “suicide,” Kait offers a third option nobody on in monopoly media will say out loud. Ever. This is the episode you send to the friend who still thinks “it’s all just a coincidence.”

Programming properly should be regarded as an activity by which the programmers form or achieve a certain kind of insight, a theory, of the matters at hand. This suggestion is in contrast to what appears to be a more common notion, that programming should be regarded as a production of a program and certain other texts.

Peter Naur in Programming As Theory Building, 1985.

A computer program is not source code. It is the combination of source code, related documents, and the mental understanding developed by the people who work with the code and documents regularly. In other words a computer program is a relational structure that necessarily includes human beings.

The output of a generative AI model alone cannot be a computer program in this sense no matter how closely that output resembles the source code part of some future possible computer program. That the output could be developed into a computer program over time, given the appropriate resources to do so, does not make it equivalent to a computer program.

Another new intrusive AI anti-feature popped up in Atlassian Jira today. I zapped it with uBlock Origin.

This is so much like when ads started flooding everything online, right down to the tools I'm using to de-clutter sites and webapps. At this point Jira is pimpled with terrible AI links nudged right next to legitimately useful features. Like it has acne, or maybe buboes.

What if I were to tell you that Trump could knock any (or all) of over 20 million¹ European web sites off the Web tomorrow by picking up the phone to one US organisation: Let’s Encrypt.

We desperately need an independent, not-for-profit ACME provider in the EU paid for by our taxes.

CC @EUCommission #sovereignty

¹ This is just based on one firm’s analytics (https://trends.builtwith.com/websitelist/LetsEncrypt/EUROPE). Others put LE use at 50-60% of all web sites.

My favourite experience regarding Wii homebrew so far has to be NetBSD. I wanted to use my Wii as a computer for a while now, and NetBSD being available as an operating system you can install and get going on an SD card and a Wii with the HBC is definitely the highlights of my Wii homebrew experience. I don't use my Wii much at the moment, as I don't even have a monitor I can use for my Wii yet, but I have used it for a while on a TV and it was nice.

Networking is a bit hard, at least on the Wii however. I tried to get WiFi included in as a Wii image of NetBSD to burn, this was during my time on FreeBSD, and I just couldn't compile it. I was doing something weird where I would alternate between GCC and clang but that would have been a waste of time once it got to booting.

Other than that, it was nice writing a fetch program entirely written in C using vi and man pages to get by. It was a nice break from writing things without an LSP to help, although I still love using modern features many editors provide, obviously excluding AI, so I will stick with that. I also found that Lua existed on it which definitely helped whenever I didn't want to write C.

First *BSD post in a while, as I forgot to talk about the time I used NetBSD. I'll probably talk about Linux more at some point but I wanted to talk about *BSD a little again. Try NetBSD if you get the chance!

Apple is temporarily disabling its AI-generated news notifications, which were frequently error-filled, misleading or totally false @CNN reports. Alerts included fake stories that Luigi Mangione, who is charged with murdering the UnitedHealthcare CEO, had shot himself, and that Benjamin Netanyahu had been arrested.
