Mood for the past two years

It's our fault😔

Just found it on hackaday:
"HOW REALTIME IS YOUR KERNEL? SCOPE A GPIO TO FIND OUT"
And now.... I'd venture to say it's a real dumb question. Nothing running a kernel is real-time in any practical way. If you want real-ish-time stuff to happen, you program a microcontroller for crying out loud. I mean, c'mon! Don't them kids don't know anything nowadays?....

We are all stardust.

That oxygen you breath? That comes from dying massive stars, ending their light in a supernova.

The iron in your blood? Some massive stars dying, but mainly white dwarfs, the leftovers of dwarf stars like our own Sun, exploding.

The gold ring on your finger? Mostly merging neutron stars, leftovers from supernovae.

New blog post: Did you know there were typewriters that used ball point pens to draw not just text but also graphics? I’ve collected several of these over the years. #PenPlotter #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #CreativeCoding #MastoArt #GenerativeArt

The Turing Test poisoned the minds of generations of AI enthusiasts, because its criteria is producing text that persuades observers it was written by a human.

The result? Generative AI text products designed to "appear real" rather than produce accurate or ethical outputs.

It *should* be obvious why it's problematic to create a piece of software that excels at persuasion without concern for accuracy, honesty or ethics. But apparently it's not.

Someone toots about using only 3 passwords for the last 20 years
Point out that's pretty dumb
Someone else gets upset that I say it's dumb and immediately blocks me

Truly, the #Mastodon experience.

So I did a test on using verified link with the #UFoI website... works well. The plan will be anyone in the UFoI can register as a member and then have a verified link in their profile

See my profile for an example of me testing it out.
