Literally all I took away from that was an audio-focused arm, which is an image I will hold in my head today and enjoy. I am going to swing my arm around as I do things today and imagine it making ... arm noises.

Anthropic released a fascinating new capability today called "Computer Use" - a mode of their Claude 3.5 Sonnet model where it can do things like accept screenshots of a remotely operated computer and send back commands to click on specific coordinates, enter text etc
Two big announcements from Anthropic today: a new Claude 3.5 Sonnet model and a new API mode that they are calling computer use. (They also pre-announced 3.5 Haiku, but that’s …
Some more work on testing congestion control in picoquic on high speed loopback links. I found out that the data rate for a 10GB download using Cubic was less than half the data rate of a 1GB download. The issue: ACK Frequency was setting a 1ms delay and a very large ACK Gap, causing feedback frequency to drop and Cubic to slow. The fix: cap the ack gap to 32. More in the blog.
The first investigation of loopback performance focused on the randomness of the RTT measurements on loopback, and the fix for BBR was to not make congestion control decisions based on delays if the RTT were small.

I do not participate on stackoverflow anymore. If you want help with libcurl related issues, I recommend asking on the curl-library mailing list or perhaps using the discussion forum on curl's GitHub "home".
Which is timely with the OpenSSL 3.4.0 release announced just days ago: that still does not offer a working (and performant) QUIC API. (yes, there is an attempt there but it's not production grade)
It's almost like the writing was on the wall already a long time ago.
In a world that is now gradually adopting HTTP/3 (which, as you know, is implemented over QUIC), the problem with the missing API for QUIC is still a key problem.

Attention all #remoteIncidentManager technicians who may be assisting end users running macOS Sequoia: Recent changes in macOS Sequoia have created some challenges for our Remote Accessibility Module, which allows seamless assistance without revealing the technician’s disability. Due to changes in how #VoiceOver settings are managed in macOS Sequoia, visually impaired technicians may experience issues that disrupt their ability to perform tasks discreetly. We’ve identified these problems and are working with Apple’s Accessibility team to find a long-term solution, but we need your help to make sure this critical issue is prioritized. If you’ve experienced difficulties using RIM on macOS Sequoia, we encourage you to contact Apple’s Accessibility department - accessibility@apple.com - and politely but firmly advocate the prioritization of a reliable API that allows for safe, controlled adjustments to VoiceOver. Spread this message far and wide! Together, we can push for better accessibility and maintain the tools that empower visually impaired professionals, while fully preserving their dignity by preventing non-consensual disclosure of disability. Accessibility is a right to inclusivity, and true inclusivity in this case must allow for the fair and equal treatment of visually impaired technicians in this stage of the support process. #accessibility #inclusivity
UnitedHealth has confirmed for the first time that over 100 million people had their personal information and healthcare data stolen in the Change Healthcare ransomware attack, marking this as the largest healthcare data breach in recent years.

Before you tell a disabled person that they need to “just make the healthcare worker mask”… please understand the imbalance of power that exists in hospital settings.
We can’t “just make them” do anything. If they refuse -our options are to take the risk or go without care.
There’s little recourse when a HCW refuses to mask - there’s almost NO recourse that exists in the moment.
You can file a complaint after the fact - but if the care you require is urgent or an emergency - that won’t help you
Imagine you’re taken to the emergency room with an urgent (or life threatening) issue. The doctor comes in and refuses to wear a mask.
Do you walk out? Throw a fit? These are not good options
Even if you manage to keep your composure and strongly advocate for them to reconsider - the longer you argue the more potential virus you’re being exposed to.
The more you “annoy” the staff - the greater the odds of retaliation or reduction in care.
This isn’t like telling a friend or a colleague to mask. The dynamic is completely different.
HCWs have the ability to help you or harm you. You want them on your side.
A note in your chart indicating you’re anxious, difficult, non compliant etc can follow you around and impact all your care going forward. Getting charts corrected and notes removed is a time consuming and difficult process
As a result many patients don’t push the issue. They delay medical care as long as possible and then just cross their fingers they will get a compassionate HCW when they do finally go.
These delays can also cause harm - and shouldn’t be necessary.
Hospitals have never been terribly safe places. They’re where the strongest and most resistant bugs thrive. They’re also where the sickest and most vulnerable people are.
At least before Covid it felt like hospitals were TRYING to prevent infection.
These days it’s as though any amount of infection control is seen as weak. People are actually bragging about how many times they’ve had Covid or about the risks they’re taking with their health. Staff aren’t masking even around babies, cancer & transplant patients
We have to change course. Our healthcare systems could barely handle the amount of chronic illness they were facing before Covid - they certainly can’t handle the constant influx of disabled patients and staff that Covid is causing.
This is why we need mandatory masks in healthcare settings. The responsibility to keep themselves and others safe should NOT fall on the vulnerable patient.
Many are unable to advocate for themselves - and others are unable to mask.
Mandatory masking protects everyone
Lastly - the solution to this problem should not be “don’t go to the hospital”. It’s not right to make ANY patient feel like they’re wrong for seeking care. Like they’ve somehow “failed” if they end up with Covid.
Until you’re facing a life threatening emergency or serious health challenges - you can’t possibly know what you would do.
Is it scary to go to the hospital right now? Of course. Is it also necessary? Absolutely.
Patients should never be blamed for needing care or for being unable to get HCWs to mask. The system is failing us - we aren’t failing each other.
If you need the hospital - you have all my love & support. It’s impossibly hard - and I will keep fighting to make it better.
As long as hospitals refuse to do what’s right to prevent COVID (hello clean air & mandatory masking)… the onus is unfairly on the PATIENT to avoid COVID.
My guide offers tips to reduce your risk of hospital acquired COVID (and other HAIs)
A guide to navigating the risk of hospital acquired Covid - as well as how to manage overall risk of nosocomial infections and hospital derived complications.
I’m sad that a guide on how to avoid COVID in hospital is even needed. But it IS needed.
What we need MORE is mandatory masking in hospitals. They would prevent the overwhelming majority of covid infections.
HCWs - you don’t need to wait for a mandate. You can CHOOSE to do the right thing and put a mask on! Protect yourselves and your patients - you will save a life.
If you see a mask - wear a mask. Better yet - wear a mask all the time and show us you understand that we're still IN a pandemic. We are depending on you to keep us safe - please don't betray that.
Time to make it official! I want to turn #GNOME OS, GNOME's home-grown distro for testing and development of the GNOME Desktop, into a real production-ready general purpose OS. I finally blogged about it: blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/202…
It's also important to note the fundraising opportunities it could bring from philanthropies and other non-technical investors.
It's difficult to explain what GNOME is, as soon as it becomes a fully fledged operating system; the mission and benefit to society is much easier to convey.

i do think the degree to which bluesky is stressing that they do not use blockchains really underscores how toxic even a faint whiff of blockchain has become to any normal platform
This is why I have been trying to warn about #BlueSky.
BlueSky has just been partially bought by a cryptocurrency company "Blockchain Capital" and appointed a blockchain / cryptocurrency expert to their board:
The board member is a bitcoin researcher involved with NFT analytics.
BlueSky describe the tie-up with Blockchain Capital as a "natural partnership" and says the blockchain company has "a uniquely deep understanding of our decentralized foundation".
Bluesky now exceeds 13 million users, the AT Protocol developer ecosystem continues to grow, and we’ve shipped highly requested features like direct messages and video.
