what if cryptocurrency and llms are just things invented by The Peripheral people for our stub so that we would have a reason to develop graphics cards.

@cR0w I didn't know that you were branching out into running a cult...

Trying to explain they/them pronouns to my parents' generation is some kind of 11/10 difficulty thing.

Not related to nvidia stuff at all.

Pro tip: make sure to delete the cached screenshot of @cR0w's vnc server /before/ giving a demo of VNC credential checking...

Surely this one has been done already. #directorytraversalmemes

"I wish people would stop writing buggy software"

We are very aware of Cybersecurity this month. Can we stop being quite so aware of it next month maybe?

Is this week over yet.

CatastroPHP would have been a better name.

Four.

Driving the Miata top-down while blasting Angine de Poitrine was a nice way to spend a chilly fall afternoon (this was after a decent bicycle ride, of course).

I don't particularly like petrol vehicles, but I still contend that everyone should drive one of these things (with a manual transmission, to be clear) at least once in their life.

Someone needs to make a joke about making LLMs more efficient by first introducing a fixed structure to any linguistic query, then slowly introducing new syntax to drive power and memory efficiency until the query language turns into C.

Surprised nobody calls it Shitrix yet.

Our bunny may have saved our life this morning.

It was raining a bit outside early in the AM, and he was stomping like mad. He normally doesn't stomp during rain, he only gets scared if there is thunder/lightning.

Anyway I woke up and heard a pitter patter gurgling, but looked outside and it wasn't raining. Then I caught a whiff of something electronically bad.

Turns out water? Or some kind of fluid? Got into this surge suppressor and it was gurgling. Extremely hot to the touch, I would guess the liquid inside was boiling. And the plastic is distorted.

Will be funny if it turns out he peed on it, which would he mean he actually saved us from his own doing? But I can't wait to dissect the strip and see what is actually inside. If the liquid came from a capacitor or something, I am going to be very upset...

Anyway. He gets extra pets and cookies this morning. Good bun.
