this is going to be an amazing summer with the official Risc-V support on Debian. I plan on building a machine with Tenstorrent's Ascalon CPUs. With Jim Keller claiming its in the ballpark of Zen 5 performance, it would be a mighty jump for the architecture, heck even if they land around Zen 4 it would be impressive for the Risc-V ecosystem. Thank you debian team for the work you do

Similar to iOS lockdown mode, Android 16's Advanced Protection feature is misguided. It adds security features exclusive to it which require using all of the other features. This prevents people using new security features if they need to avoid 1 feature.

@darkyen @fireborn @J3317 right? It’s basic things like this that lead me to not recommending products. Now that I’m a little bit older and know what I’m doing, I recommend against anybody buying a vintage iPhone because those wouldn’t talk to you on set up either. If you wanna buy it just to collect it, don’t use it. it won’t talk to you.

Taking a break from reality to watch high-speed film launches of the Space Shuttle.

Stepping back in time to a world when NASA was sending humans into space using a lot less computing power than your new TV.

It's a very calming video, watching thousands of pounds of fuel ignited as the shuttle and it's boosters slowly rise into the sky. 45mins of rockets on fire.

Very special.

Mexican Navy tall ship #Cuauhtémoc collided with #BrooklynBridge a few hours ago:
edition.cnn.com/2025/05/17/us/…

Based on videos:
nbcmiami.com/news/national-int…

…it looks like the ship went under the bridge and then hit the shoreline here:
osm.org/go/Zct8EqDG?m=&relatio…

Which means it was going *up river* when it hit the bridge.

That doesn't make sense, it was supposed to be leaving #NYC.

The videos also show it was going backwards. My guess would be loss of control?

"Only humans can do this because we're special" and other lies we tell ourselves

With a large enough dataset and a well trained model, all we need is compute and ridiculous amount of tokens and yes, it will be able to create and maintain subtext through a novel-length story.

Bringing this from writer Joseph Malik over from Bluesky. I think it's spot on. "Subtext separates a novel from a novel-length story. Subtext is the part that AI can't--and never will--generate. It can't read for subtext.

Meanwhile, I want AI to do stuff I DON'T want (humans) to do. Common house chores? Yes please. Dangerous jobs, like mining deep underground? Yes please. Dumb and repetitive tasks, like factory conveyor belts? Yes please. Tasks that require incredible precision, like brain surgery? Yes please.

Let humans do the wondering, the exploring, the art. Let us tell the stories, the culture, like we have done for hundreds of thousands of years.

Fat change under capitalism.

@collectifission I agree, but obviously generating artistic works is cheap and easy in comparison whereas solving the other tasks requires interaction with the physical world and other humans which is risky. Physical harm to a human or property carries a lot of liability, so unless they are shielded from it there's not a lot of incentive to invest in this area.

Sigh. It's possible to remotely, physically locate any O2 mobile customer at any time over the internet with a trivial method using their mobile phone number, due to O2's poor implementation of 4G Calling which, by design, gives away the Cell ID.

O2 VoLTE: locating any customer with a phone call

Privacy is dead: For multiple months, any O2 customer has had their location exposed to call initiators without their knowledge.

"Privacy watchdog Noyb sent a cease-and-desist letter to Meta Wednesday, threatening to pursue a potentially billion-dollar class action to block Meta's AI training, which starts soon in the European Union."

OK, I admit I am still skeptical. And probably will be until I get to attend one of these shows myself. Do you really believe the choirs in this video are not edited or somehow enhanced post-production? youtube.com/watch?v=RpCNaICb1F…

Všem, co tvoří videa pro #VHSky bych chtěl poděkovat. Obzvlášť těm, co nahrávají pravidelně.

Já vim lidi, že nemáte tisíce shlédnutí, jako na #YouTube, nikdo vám nikdy za nic nezaplatí (naopak část vás spíš platí, aby nějaký VHSky byly :)) a je nás tam málo, ale když se podíváte, tak dneska už to neni poloprázdná stránka s ničím.

Jsou tam recepty, zvířátka, IT věci, přednášky i filmy a to všechno jen díky vám všem.

Teď bych ale měl žádost/prosbičku/apel na vás. Chtěl bych, aby tenhle post měl co nejvíc přesdílení a komentářů, aby o projektu vědělo co nejvíc lidí a třeba někoho dalšího napadne, že to jeho háčkování, 3Dtisky, výlety, politalky nebo třeba jiný varianty broukpytlingu můžou bejt pro někoho zajímavý a natočí je. Nebo někdo, kdo o VHSkách ještě neví začne pravidelně sledovat :)

Zároveň chci požádat o diskuzi o tom, co vám tam chybí, přebývá nebo co by šlo vylepšit. Chtěl bych vědět, proč tam jste (anebo ještě nejste :) ) a jestli třeba neznáte nějaký zajímavý účty, co ještě nemirrorujem.

Pojďme si ten náš #PeerTube doladit tak, aby si každej něco našel.

(A ještě jednou díky všem!)

Tak jsem si dnes cely den hral s Codexem od OpenAI. Rozhodne je to posun smerem k vetsi pouzitelnosti AI pri kodovani.

Asi nejvetsi wow efekt pro me bylo, jak dokaze hledat v kodu. Moje repozitare jsou totalni bordel, takze neco najit je vykon.

Jeho crawleni si muzete uzit v primem prenosu. Nebo behem nej hrat pinces. Takove 2025 "Kompilujeme".

Historie se opakuje!
