“it would be better if you could have a mixed geographic coalition, is it actually possible or do you just have to work from a place of futility?

No, it's not futile. But what it takes is a long term strategy of deep, full time, year round organizing and listening to rural Americans. Parties like to put a focus on messaging.

Messaging is very surface level and it does not have enduring effects. But organizing really matters.”

Still using the "intern" metaphor?

Real interns would have learnt the role, been promoted, and started teaching the next generation by now.

Your "AI intern" is still shitting the bed.

Taking a moment to remember Martin Gardner on what would have been his one hundred and eleventh birthday.

Thank you Martin for *so* many fabulous ideas, for connecting so many people to each other and to those ideas, and for a wonderful afternoon in your company.

Ron Graham said of him, "Martin has turned thousands of children into mathematicians and thousands of mathematicians into children."

The inevitability of anger

https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2025/the-inevitability-of-anger/

This week's newsletter is on culpability in the AI Bubble, how social media shapes what we say and how we respond to it, and the inevitability of a reckoning.

I'm not talking about the f-ing Apple store.

I'm talking about fix-it clinics. I'm talking about having a volunteer desk at a library to help people with their tech problems.

I'd rather have friends and family not spring tech problems on me over turkey, but feel comfortable to say, "Oh, I'll just go to the fix-it clinic on Sunday. They'll get me sorted."

*That's* a culture of mutual tech support and mentorship.

*That's* what will break monopolies.

I've got a new paper out on eprint: Monitoring tamper-sensing meshes using low-cost time-domain reflectometry.

In the paper, I wrote up how you can build a ~200 ps resolution time-domain reflectometer from an STM32 and some cheap display bus redriver ICs. The circuit is sensitive enough to distinguish several identical copies of the same test specimen PCB from manufacturing tolerances!

Fun legal fact of the day: Florence, Oregon, where federal agents famously (and illegally) used a thermal imager to detect Danny Kyllo's indoor grow operation in 1992, is the same oceanfront community that, in 1970, famously (and disastrously) tried to dispose of a beached whale carcass using explosives.

I know it’s not exactly the point but like… Someone just rented an excavator and… drove it to the White House? And someone else said “Great, the excavator’s here” and was like “Just rip down that wall, don’t worry about the windows or anything, just maximum ripping please.”

@adele well said... this is a problem that no one seems to have the will to address (I'm referring to our governements).
It's a shame that the internet has become a battlefield, but we will stand firm and we will take it back.

I don't want to react to the AWS breakdown (even if this toot looks like that).
Telling that you should use a different service, your own server, or whatever to avoid a breakdown is stupid. All solutions are subject to breakdown and AWS isn't the worst.

Yesterday's problem just shows the hegemony of AWS (and other Big Tech actors), even for non-American structures. It should just make us aware that a unilateral decision by the United States could harm any country without military intervention.

It's time to dig up a post from the beginning of the year:
