Someone should have a channel where they’re living at the bottom of the cliff with their gf who’s like “I feel like a bag of Cheetos.” One momentous climb later. “Oh I just ran out of Reddi-Wip for this dessert thing I made.”

Ever get hiccups together with acid reflux? That’s an extra special level of hell.

Huh. That’s still around?

Dang. WSL is literally the only thing that maintains my sanity when I am forced to do anything on Windows. I don’t work in an enterprise environment, mind you.

ISO 8601 ftw

The $2 coin in Canada should’ve been called a doubloonie but we got twoonie instead. (Both play on the $1 coin being called a loonie after the loon pictured on the tail side. As a bonus inconsequential hot take, I believe all tail sides of coins should feature an animal with an actual tail, for clarity. So the loonie is fine, as is the Canadian nickel, which features a beaver with a big ass tail! The quarter features a moose. While said animal has a tail, only its head is shown on the coin, so that’s a bit confusing.)

Generalized anxiety disorder seems like such a cop out to me. Surely they can break that apart into a bunch of new disorders and syndromes to collect?

I find it mildly annoying that while the post is replete with hyperlinks, the 2 central terms “ietf-tls-mlkem” and “ietf-tls-ecdhe-mlkem” are simply quoted with no further elaboration.

I am no cryptographer, but after some searching around, my very first order understanding is that mlkem is a new algorithm that is meant to be resistant to attacks by a quantum computer. It is not time-tested at this point, however, while ecdhe is a current (albeit quantum-computer-weak) algorithm that has a solid track record.

Using both in combination is seen by some as a safer way to move forward, since mlkem may yet prove to have a fatal weakness and at least you have that fallback on the tried and true. Advocates also point out that ecdhe is cheap to compute compared to mlkem, and so the overhead of tossing it in there is not the end of the world?

Anyway, that’s all I’ve been able to glean so far.

I don’t think there is any single answer to this that works for everyone?

If you feel public protests or political activism are a good release for your frustrations, go for it. If you feel you need some escapism, try to avoid addiction/substance abuse but don’t beat yourself up if you wind up there. Find help.

For me, community engagement has helped. It doesn’t come naturally as I’m an introverted sort, but I find community-building activities therapeutic. And yes, I do encounter the occasional maga type or whatever. I try not to slam the door on them though. It’s usually some common interest that brought us together, and I try to work from there.

Most relevant paragraph for the tldr crowd:

Flavors of AI doomsaying vary dramatically, ranging from Skynet-style scenarios to mass unemployment. But more recently, as it’s become clear that one of AI’s most practical applications is generating code, experts have been sounding the alarm on AI’s potential to disrupt cybersecurity. Hackers could easily abuse AI agents and coding tools to orchestrate devastating cyberattacks, both increasing the scale of these attacks and lowering the skill needed to carry them out.

It goes on to talk about how claude has yet to release a particular model and China has closed-sourced some of its over cybersecurity concerns.

At Wendy’s you can add a shot of lime to your coke using that machine there. But there’s no rum button…

I feel that would get you off the couch and doing stuff at least?

But no. Universal Basic Income. I think it would encourage people to experiment more with self-employment to supplement the modest income they get through UBI.

I got her a cool-looking malachite ring from a gem and mineral show. She was big into geology and loved it! I don’t remember it breaking the bank.

UBI would be good for this also.

Yeah you’re probably on the money there. AI gives you some sort of plausible deniability?

It certainly is. They get caught once in a while. The first time it happened was when I added the term “oligopoly” to my vocabulary.

Like do you really need an AI to do this? It’s been going on for years where I live. It’s not hard for all the local gas stations to collude to raise prices. It’s easier than ever when you have the likes of gasbuddy crowd-sourcing all the price-checking.

Got a reservation but haven’t fully committed yet. I guess I have…er…reservations about it?

$6 million would be his annual subscription with tons of vendor lock-in. He could maybe save a bit if he agreed to ads on the bionic eye?

I might be a little old school when it comes to autopilots?
