OpenAI shipped a telemetry system that logs more than the actual work being done. Codex burning through SSDs at a rate of ~640 TB/year – one user hit 37 TB written in 21 days. On a consumer SSD
that’s full drive death in under a year. https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/28224

i have a fantastic terrible idea. it'll make a packet and become a case study in what not to do for security reasons.

we'll need about a quarter of a million dollars to make it happen.

Hi. :ablobwavereverse:

I'm a professional computer geek in the Bay Area. I've been a sysadmin, designed and built networks, been a penetration tester, done security research, and incident response. I'm flexible enough to work as in aerospace engineering as well as computational pharmacology.

I'm still #unemployed.

I'm searching for a job, on-site or remote. If you're hiring, please DM me, or at least send me a link or two? Please?

Got myself a heat gun to strip paint. After the home project was done, used it to air fry foods at 600° C in just seconds. Heat gunned sweet fruit (peaches, bananas) are now my favourite snack. Boredom is the father of invention.

@kroltan the fediverse works harder to be inclusive, and I'm not mad at that! I think these are things worth caring about to make sure a variety of people can participate.

It's a bad idea for that culture to be powered by people nagging though. It's not sustainable.

The way a product is designed will inform how people use it. For instance, if people are speeding down a road, a speed limit sign won't do much, but narrowing the lanes and adding barriers will slow people down.

A few important points for Mr. Reply Police here:

⁃ If you read the whole article, you’ll learn that several of the people given half-century-plus sentences were unconnected to the ones who brought guns, but lumped in with them by prosecutors and given equally harsh sentences.

- Possessing a bunch of firearms is not a crime in the US. It probably •should• be in many cases IMO, but it’s not, and fans of the 2nd Amendment will remind you.

⁃ A 100-year sentence is wildly excessive for shooting someone in the shoulder. It would be a pretty striking sentence even for murder (cf Kyle Rittenhouse) — and in this case, nobody was murdered.

Yes, the accused were probably not making good decisions here. As per my OP, it is the sentences that are the problem.

I am sure that many of you can provide additional info to Mr. Reply Police, and I encourage you to do so, but please please ••un-CC me•• when you do.

Finally!!! I've been trying to get a good pic of this butterfly for more than a week now, but it would never sit still long enough to let me close. Today it was going from Larkspur to Larkspur feasting on the nectar and I finally got my pic.

@cwebber A friend’s been working on the remaster! Apparently the original production company kept all their digital master tapes which is how they have it in such incredible quality, but they didn’t have the equipment to transfer them, which is where my friend came in.

I heard Joe Armstrong give a talk for forty minutes once and I walked out permanently converted to this way of thinking. Use queues. Queues only. NULL was not a billion-dollar mistake, NULL can be made sanitary. Memory-sharing multithreading was the billion dollar mistake.

i do genuinely believe we could have the best of all worlds here, it's just there are type theory things that need to be investigated first. for some reason type theorists tend towards nice functional languages with garbage collection and nice properties over grotty horrible systems programming languages. can't imagine what that's all about.

okay okay, i'll go one further. when i do certain things in rust, memory safety pisses me off and i end up writing c in rust because i don't have the tools to express the api i need safely. or not at full performance at any rate.

hence why i have been doing a lot of c and zig recently. because there i can replace all that memory safety with "just learn to write c properly", which i conveniently already did.

because it works in the small, on a project of limited size, with a team of one person who knows c properly.

i think you can see probably see that this is not all projects and that the bigger everything gets the more room there is to fuck up. and so people accept the compromises of the safe-by-default languages because it's cheaper than the fuckups that tend towards guaranteed after a certain codebase size.
