Apple is closing down the first of its US stores to unionize.

Apple says that because of the collective bargaining agreement with these workers, they "couldn’t offer to transfer them to nearby locations.”

The union is outraged, and exploring options to hold Apple accountable.

In a first, renewables beat natural gas on US grid last month

It’s just one month, but it’s a sign of where the U.S. is headed as renewable energy — namely solar — surges onto the grid.

A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks.

The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people.

ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher.

"class traitor technologies" is a useful concept to install into your worldview: anything that invites you to think of yourself as a little dauphin, a temporary aristocrat reclining on a chaise of screaming human bones, languorous finger directing some new marvel of labor, anything that discourages you from thinking of that labor as the product of other humans' hands and minds, product of a real place with soil and air and human community. technology to invisibilize & obliterate all that.

@soatok This is awesome. Even AGE itself does post-quantum now, which is kinda awesome, and it's blazing fast compared to PGP. I did some benchmarking out of curiosity and even with compression turned off, AGE is 2-3x faster at encrypting files than GPG.

"#Mythos discovers 27-year-old bug" is intentionally conflating length of existence of a bug with difficulty of finding it. There is no such correlation.

If software projects and companies performed regular, ongoing, in-depth code audits over and over and missed it, sure, then age would be meaningful, but that is simply not what organizations do.

But sure, it makes for great headlines.

Every time someone sends me an annoying, unsolicited notification on Fedi about products that use OpenPGP, my contempt for PGP and its supporters grows exponentially.

So let's make PGP obsolete by replacing it with better cryptographic tools.

This age port supports mlkem768x25519 identity keys, so you can get post-quantum security today.

okay so i started thinking about big pext and it's a little tricky.

so let's define the problem. if you have hardware pext support, you will get 64 and 32 bit versions. which are great if those are what you want and a bit shift if you want an arbitrary size. so we want pext for arbitrary size buffers, or big pext.

say we have an array of 64 bit integers, we can do most of the work with 64 bit pexts. this will select all of the relevant bits, but it will organise them all in their original 64 bit chunks. intuitively with some shifting about, we can fix this, but that shifting about is pretty annoying.

but it can get more annoying! i have already got high throughput versions of array pext. i would of course want it to keep up with that so it's really only slightly slower for the same amount of data.

i think it's doable, but it's not immediately obvious how to do all the shifting about without knackering everything.
