dappled light splitting seconds while illuminating feet
#photography #feet #red

horizontal format photo of a foot resting on a brick-red fabric, hit by direct sunlight coming from a window outside the top of the frame of the image, resulting in the foot casting a dark shadow on the red fabric, being surrounded by dark shadows, while also receiving some strong red reflected light from the fabric it is resting on, plus some intense glowing red sub-surface scattering in the toes at the border between light and shadow.
almost the same view as in the previous image, but zoomed in a bit closer to the foot, and overall the red reflected light is more intense
again a similar view, but this time zoomed out a bit more, with two feet in the frame rather than just one plus more of the lower legs they are attached to. here the light is a bit less bright and the shadows especially stark
again a similar view, but zoomed in, this time on both feet, with the light being brighter than before, and the overall red glow more intense

“Personality vs. Personalization” in AI Systems: Specific Uses and Concrete Risks (Part 2)
In AI governance and public policy, the many trends of “personalization” are becoming clear, but often discussed and debated together, despite dissimilar uses, benefits, and risks. This analysis divides the trends more generally into two categories: personalization and personality.

Exploring the Use of LLMs for Requirements Specification in an IT Consulting Company
In practice, requirements specification remains a critical challenge. The knowledge necessary to generate a specification can often be fragmented across diverse sources (e.g., meeting minutes, emails, and high-level product descriptions), making the process cumbersome and time-consuming. In this paper, we report our experience using large language models (LLMs) in an IT consulting company to automate the requirements specification process. In this company, requirements are specified using a Fun…

My first attempt at desoldering a BGA chip and it worked really well. Chip cleaned up nicely as well.
Disclaimer: I don't plan on using this chip or board again. So, I don't need it to work at the end.

picture of the board without the CPU. lots of little solder balls show where it used to be.
the underside of an UltraSPARC chip with lots of left over solder blobs in it.
an UltraSPARC chip sitting on a silicone mat seperate from the processor board. the top is all dirty from where the heatsink was attached.
an UltraSPARC chip all cleaned up and looking shiny. it's propped up against the edge of a metal plate to dry.

The #NixOS moderation team resigns "effective immediately, in protest of the Steering Committee’s ongoing pattern of attempting to interfere with moderation team operation, membership and specific moderation decisions."

A statement from members of the moderation team
We resign, effective immediately, in protest of the Steering Committee’s ongoing pattern of attempting to interfere with moderation team operation, membership and specific moderation decisions. This is not a statement we enjoy making, and we apologize to the community for leaving right before an election that is bound to be contentious, and likely now more so. Unfortunately, the Constitution does not provide a meaningful recourse to SC overreach, and we cannot in good faith continue operatin…
