Today we're waiting for an IKEA delivery that, according to their email, will be a 10x10x10 cm box weighing 14 kg.
So density-wise that has to contain berkelium, californium, protactinium, tantalum, uranium, gold, tungsten, plutonium, neptunium, rhenium, platinum, iridium, or osmium.
We're of course hoping for platinum, and really not for plutonium, because the critical mass is 11 kg...
IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS is the new captcha.
The boss makes a dollar,
I make a dime
That was a poem
From a simpler time
Now his boss makes 1000
While I make a cent
And he's got employees
That can't make the rent
When the CEO makes a million
And we don't make jack
That's when we riot
To take it all back
Now Mr investor
If this seems extreme
I have to remind you
It beats guillotines

@fesshole would you rather they threw it in your front garden? Are so many bags of dog shit going in your bin you can’t fit your own rubbish in? I will never understand people who get worked up about people putting rubbish in bins.
@gsuberland @leo there’s also not a lot of complex concepts to communicate. It’s almost all just factual labels describing a particular material.
I find it incredibly funny that someone had to fill in a form confirming that the light switches and plug sockets are included in the sale of my flat. Does anyone ever tick the no box on that?
@saraislet it’s ok, because they’re projected to only be a fraction of the emissions from business travel. (Which according to their own website makes up 68% of all Carbon emissions by PwC)
Was reminded today that Bonzi Buddy was derided as spyware two decades ago for doing considerably less than the telemetry in virtually every modern application.
The fact that Microsoft Teams 🤮 contains a feature called "Teams" where actual teams can create a Team, and at Microsoft the teams working on that feature probably have a Team to discuss the Teams feature, suggests that there exists a Microsoft Microsoft Teams Teams Teams' Microsoft Teams Team.
@herdingdata because we all carry tricorders in our pockets that function as communicators as well.
Slightly sad at the stream of notifications I’m getting from Apple Health telling me, more or less, I’m not longer at EMF. Calories burned down, steps walked down, hours standing down, hours slept up.
@jonathanmatthews this is kind of my job now, so I have an entire spreadsheet of these things from recent research. Do you care about CPU architecture, how many network interfaces do you want, and do you want mPCIe storage or onboard eMMC?
I’m mostly running balenaOS because they’re single purpose appliances rather than general purpose servers, but they’ll basically all run whatever distro you like.
@fesshole I’d probably attempt to cook them like meat balls, seeing as how they’re, well, meat balls.
Went to the pub last night and only quite late did I remember I’d promised the boy we’d go to the fun fair. I’m pleased to report that while it was touch and go I managed not to throw up on any of the very spinny rides.
@rachel it’s important to have aspirations in life. (I can’t do more than 1.3)
Google: "You can now track sustainability in our cloud dashboards."
Also Google: "You should query those dashboards via GenAI."
@pikesley MFA fantasy is when the only method available is SMS right?
I've created a basic app for searching an aerial photo using text queries. That's right, you can search for "roundabout" or "school playground" on an image of a city and get pretty good results!
Have a play with it here: https://server1.rtwilson.com/aerial - it's set up with an aerial image of Southampton, UK
Under the hood this uses the SkyCLIP model and the Pinecone vector database.

@gsuberland it drives me mad. Your metrics are not my concern, and I’m definitely not subscribing to your channel before I’ve actually seen something you produce.
