Konilo #Forth 2024.4 is now complete & published at konilo.org.

This includes new implementations of the ilo computer in D, and Hare, as well as a much nicer Rust implementation from Matthew Keeter. It also includes a new port to Plan 9 from Jim Taylor and improvements to the standalone x86 port.

Otherwise, there have been many bug fixes, it's smaller & faster, includes more tools, and has had a lot of updates to the blocks, including the addition of an embedded hypertext documentation wiki.

The release notes: https://konilo.org/release/202404.txt

Download: https://konilo.org/release/konilo-202404.tar.gz or https://konilo.org/release/konilo-202404.zip

I've also updated konilo.sh, a shell script for downloading, running, & updating a Konilo system. This is useful for following the nightly snapshots. The README for this is at https://konilo.org/konilo-sh.txt and the script is at https://konilo.org/konilo.sh

Yesterdays train doodle. Somehow inspired by "The Eye That Follows Suit" by Wingtips. Really like how the shading turned out.

• Bust drawing in black and white, with markers and pen. A young woman with shoulder length wavy hair has her head slightly tilted downwards. She is crying, her eyebrows furrowed, tears rolling down her face. A hood of a white robe softly covering her head. In her left hand, which she is holding towards her chest, she is tightly holding onto three white feathers. Three more small feathers are floating down around her. (remote)

Proposed new law: before a company is legally permitted to lay off employees, it must first successfully close all open bug reports, support tickets, and backlog items.

You want to take people's jobs away? First you gotta prove there's no work for them to do.

Number 1 rule of attending protests: Anyone you didn't arrive with is potentially an outside agitator.

Don't use anyone else's phone to call your people.

Don't let anyone else use your phone.

Ideally, don't have a phone. (Designate a video person for your group).

Keep only necessary ID (driver's license, insurance card)

No wallets. No cash.

Incredible research at BlackHat Asia today by Tong Liu and team from the Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (在iie.ac.cn 的电子邮件经过验证)

A dozen+ RCEs on popular LLM framework libraries like LangChain and LlamaIndex - used in lots of chat-assisted apps including GitHub. These guys got a reverse shell in two prompts, and even managed to exploit SetUID for full root on the underlying VM!

Hi! I moved to the UK five years ago. My birth certificate and passport list my sex as Nonbinary/X. My application for legal gender recognition was granted two years ago, but then things got weird... I had to take the government to court.

That turns out to be outrageously expensive. 😢💸

I need donations to help offset the cost, but
boosting and sharing my story help a lot too.

The #AGI arms race is really just an exercise in setting product expectation.

If the expectation for #LLMs are that it must be trained on every last scrap of data available, using expensive GPUs, the pool of companies that can meet that expectation becomes small and elite.

Of course, they can't say outright that the goal is to create an AI oligopoly, so they use mission-driven narratives like "we must achieve Artificial General Intelligence for the betterment of humanity."

If you ever think workers who don't vote for unionizing are dumb and brain-washed, watch this guy's interview (13 minutes). He switched from anti-union to pro-union, but just listen to how he articulates his reasoning. And relieve yourself of your prejudices.
