“I don't understand how you can pretend that simple next-token prediction models can do what humans brains can!”I hear this a lot - and to me it sounds like pushback against how Large Language Models (LLMs) keep making advancements. But...
Das Wort „Beziehung“ als Bezeichnung für das Zusammenleben mit jemandem fand ich schon immer merkwürdig. Man bezieht sich auf den anderen, natürlich. Aber oftmals steckt darin auch eine Bewegungsrichtung: ziehen. Ist das, was man unter...
Today, I'm wondering if campaign/political signs on street corners are a world-wide occurrence. I'm guessing it is widespread in the U.S., but do other countries allow people to plaster their name and cheesy slogans on placards that...

Recently, I've started transferring away from Gmail and moving to other, more trustworthy, providers woohoo, new leaf. During that time, I scoured every website and emails to transfer. That's when I stumbled upon X (formerly Twitter, and...
Reposted “Like Them, but Better.” It’s Not. by iamgregb (@iamgregb) A social media strategy focused entirely on the competition is in bad taste. There is nothing wrong with highlighting your strengths in comparison to theirs, but it...

Edie's new thing is getting up on the desk and then we go through a variety of motions: pawing the air, scritches, laying in my lap, or the placement of the cushion for sleeping.Currently Listening: Man/Woman/Chainsaw “Nosedive”Reply via...
I do eleven holds on this rotation and Vane is the one I look forward to, which is not a thing I would put in a packet. They feed you. That is most of it. But they also have a bay that works, and after four holds where the mass officer...
Coffee in the morning. I wouldn't know how to start my day without it. It's a ritual. Weighing 14 grams of coffee beans. Then the grinding, using the exact settings for the correct sound and ultimate taste. Foaming the milk for the best...
The results are out from the independent survey on the WordPress community, conducted by the WP Open Community collective. It represents a scathing critique of WordPress’s direction and, especially, of Matt Mullenweg’s leadership. For...
My siblings and I are retired or close to it, but we still have conversations that start with "Do you remember when Mom made X?" Thus commences a discussion of Old El Paso taco kits, Chef Boyardee pizzas, waffle irons, liver, English...
The other day I asked my husband when he was going on his work trip. He said, "Why?" I told him I just wanted to know, but I could tell he felt suspicious cause I normally never ask him about his work. He said, "Why do you want to know?"...
I am pausing for this. But OMG this book is so good!!! If you like time travel and far away future, this is great! Feels a lot like The Time Machine. I cannot put it down.
I attended a running event last night after work to celebrate National Latina Day. It was a 5K run/walk, and I opted to just walk with LC. Yesterday also marked one month since Cocoa was able to walk. We honored her memory by walking...

August 2026. Ross-on-Wye. Surely you’ve caught up on the blog after subjecting us to a torrent of posts, Retired Martin ? Er, no. Last weekend saw a third big trip of the week (nothing compared to the real ticker who cross continents on...
I am only affiliated with an American political party (Democratic) so that I can vote in primaries. That’s it. Otherwise, I just stay firmly in the Independent category, because I’m not really a fan of politicians in general. Even the...
OverviewThis week, the most important stories were not subtle. CISA moved two Windows bugs and an MLflow flaw up the priority list because attackers are already using them. Zimbra admins also got an active-exploitation warning, while...

*Abstract:** A day at Tegernsee with blackberries, poisonous belladonna, and meadows so dry they crunched underfoot. A little sweaty, a little longer than planned, but no rain and plenty of quiet moments to enjoy the trail.
Sometimes you have such a great idea, a post that you need to write and share with everybody and you just keep meaning to get to it. Then reality hits and it doesn’t quite let you make that post in a way that feels right for the subject....
Since launching CalAction, I always struggled with the idea of the in-app purchase. I'm a firm believer in the idea that software should be free to use, and that people should be able to use all of it without any barriers. I also believe...
Last edited 4 minutes ago. My god, this life is exhausting. Internet-wise, having ADHD is 'quirky'. You see lots of funny memes joking about it. Not only the 'obvious' stuff like forgetting to do something or losing things around the...

Hace un tiempo vengo usando SearXNG. Es un “metabuscador”: no tiene su propia base de datos, sino que delega la búsqueda a distintos buscadores, compila los resultados, y te arma la lista. La principal ventaja que tiene es...
As written last month in My homeserver is dying in slow motion it just crashed again a day after. Of course while I was in Paris for the EWC so no chance to fix it. In an impulse I decided against another DIY build PC as homeserver and...
This is a serious one, folks. Sorry. My dad died when I was 12 years old so I've never had to deal with losing a parent as an adult. Still, reading the accounts from For No One and Absurd Pirate instantly takes me back to how hard it...

I daily drove KDE Linux for almost a year and I liked it, but I'm also switching back to Fedora KDE. Here's my ramblings about it all. KDE Linux is the hot new Linux distro from KDE themselves. At the moment it uses Arch Linux as it's...

The great cruelty of life, and also its great mercy, is that only hindsight ever knows each last — the last time your lover put their hand on the small of your back, the last sip of the last cup at your favorite coffee shop before it...

What’s a song you associate with your biggest mistake? We’ve all been there. That sense of feeling stuck in a situation of our own making, of knowing that we need to change something but holding on to it with the hope of what you thought...
It’s not a secret that many times, the music is what makes the difference between a good game and a great game, and it’s not seldom when the music department saves a pretty bad story. So without further ado, I want to share some songs...
This is the third installment of my series called Hitting the Digital Brakes, where I explore my journey into the use of technology and on ditching some aspects of it now. The first post in the series was about the joys of imperfection...
Earlier today, now that Rogallo has matured a fair bit, I thought I'd update the banner image and, in doing so, refresh the "social preview" for the repository. This is easy enough, and something I've done plenty of times with plenty of...
