Among other things, a tiny weight will be involved. The correct size has been determined, by trial and error, to be a quarter of a 1c coin.

Für eine Recherche suche ich nach Menschen, die heimlich mit Smart Glasses gefilmt wurden. Falls euch das passiert ist oder ihr Menschen kennt, die damit Erfahrungen gemacht haben, meldet euch gerne per DM oder Mail bei mir. 🕶️

They go inside boxes, like so.

I know you're all dying to learn more.

Oh no. Chain email is back.

How many times have you coded a PID(ish) control logic for something?

What if sonar, but from WiFi signals (if I'm reading this right)

Just soldered my first ever SMD electrolytic caps. In my native Budapest coolspeak I'd describe the experience as... this is a Lebensgefühl :D

How much more Orwellian can you get? Being Meta, the world's top power concentrator, manipulator and rent seeker, to write shit like this:

"Meta's mission since our founding has focused on putting power in people's hands."

Wonder when the first watermark removers (for Claude's AI text watermarks) will show up. Slightly tempted to make one myself! But only slighy, coz life is short.

I'd call it Bleach™️.

Did anyone else subject themselves to reading Zuckerberg's rambling post about AI? Thoughts?

Whee okay this was more or less the effect I was going for, having nice blobbies near the intersections.
This one’s actually simulating particles that are both attracted to the vector drawing and to each other. The randomness in the particles give the noise I always like, rad!

"A monoculture is efficient right up until the weather changes"

Two excellent recent pieces (by authors sadly not on the Fediverse), singing in harmony about diversity collapsing into monoculture, thanks to the optimization algorithms at work around us.

⏰ The submission deadline for the ICLC is extended to September 1st, 2026 ⏰

Massive new data centers are being built across the country whether we’re ready for them or not. This is our moment to decide the terms at zoning meetings and utility hearings, in written testimony, and at the ballot box.

As hyperscalers come into communities to build these data centers, we should be asking: what tech will it be using, and how is it powered? Who pays for any necessary grid upgrades? What benefits does the surrounding community receive, and are those promises legally binding?

I have another video that will go into the details on all of this coming soon, so watch this space for more info!

This will most definitely be a key part of something.

Lately I've been feeding input to different LLMs and ending it with strings that in human communication would be insulting, demeaning or vulgar. Eg I'd suffix my input with the characters ", fucker!"

The strings the different systems output are fascinating.

They are also an affront to every real sentient being who has ever suffered humiliation or verbal agression from someone with power over then.
