Quantum Computing 2026 Update

It's still not even remotely interesting to people who don't work at quantum computer companies?

The concept of "man-made horrors beyond my comprehension" got me thinking...

What if, a three-axis system:

X: Natural ↔ Man-made
Y: Understandable ↔ Beyond comprehension
Z: Horrific ↔ Delightful

Natural horror beyond comprehension: supervolcano

Man-made horror beyond comprehension: the modern economy

Natural horror within understanding: those spiders in Australia the size of dinner plates

Man-made horror within understanding: VX nerve gas

Natural delight beyond comprehension: moonbows

Natural delight within understanding: kittens

Man-made delight beyond comprehension: the Internet

Man-made delight within understanding: pizza

That’s it, the #offpunk project received its first Claude-generated contribution.

To the author credit, he admitted directly that the message and the patch were Claude-generated.

So I didn’t even read it. I replied to the author that sending me the prompt he had used with Claude was more helpful than me reading through the whole thing to try to understand what the user had asked Claude to do.

We are there. In a minimalist project which has an explicit anti-AI stance.

test assembly of fiberglass mast elements (which is actually supposed to be used to hold up camouflage netting) worked fine. TBH: felt more stable on this than on my little BuddiPole mast.

Reminder that you don't need an MFA (or any particular degree, or, really, any degree at all) to be a novelist. Get into an MFA program if you want what it offers, but really, it's not a requirement, signed, the dude with 20 novels so far and no MFA

Reminder, or maybe first time hearing about it for folks who didn't know, the term "ricing" to refer to theming a Linux desktop is rooted in racism.

The basic etymological chain is:

• Car tuner culture develops in America. Normal and interesting practice of taking consumer cars originally engineered for reliability and modifying them for racing performance.
• They also customize the look of the cars to make them more closely resemble racing vehicles.
• Most of the cars used for this purpose are Japanese imports (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Mazda)
• In a classic Extremely Clever (/s) moment, tuners said "haha the people who manufacture these cars eat a staple grain that billions of humans worldwide eat every day" and started calling their modded cars "rice burners" and the act of modding them "ricing".
• Someone, somewhere, starts using the word to refer to modifying the appearance of a Linux desktop, rather than a car.

In a few years time, we'll have a massive cybersecurity crisis that breaks important civilian infrastructure—emergency services, payment networks, food logistics etc.

Politicians will trot out "it's so complicated!" excuses. Hucksters will say AI caused it/could have solved it etc.

Meanwhile, people who recreationally run *BSD on their toaster will point to the NVD giving up on CVE enrichment and everyone that knows how computers work being made redundant. And nobody will listen. Yawn.
