You think the live translation in your iPhone is the shit and super fancy science fiction?

By all reports, DOGE’s tools were hot crap, and I have serious doubts about whether any of the engineers in involved were any good. But what Weissmann is saying about this •belief•? Agree completely.
That particular form of engineering arrogance that imagines Smart Boys with Fancy Tech can magically untangle complex human systems needs to die a quick death. It’s not good public policy. It’s not even good engineering.

We saw this gorgeous Golden Orb Weaver while walking through the gardens. Massive creature. About the size of my closed fist. 👊
Such fancy leggings too.

A quick weekend build of a simple built-in bookshelf, it mirrors a similar shelf on the opposite side wall. The goal was to go strong and simple, and the whole thing only took about 6 hours, which felt good for a non-fancy project!

When the package suggests some fancy way of serving, but you get away with putting it on top of a slice of bread.

About last night

I’ve been working away from my desk a bunch this past month. Looks like I’ve used over 100GB of mobile data.
Sometimes that connection is great. Sometimes it’s a bit flaky.
Universally, though, web sites work much better when they don’t try to get fancy with how the UI loads.
A winning strategy here is simplicity. HTML CSS; minimal JS.
It’s so frustrating for a GitHub issue page to stall out trying to backfill content. Just give me the rest of the HTML, not your cut…

Making a new test board that I had hoped to finish tonight but got distracted by some other stuff...
Anyway, it's a STM32H750 as a peripheral for my Trion T20 devkit, hanging off one of the three 0.1" GPIO headers.
The board will have the MCU, an extra QSPI flash for additional firmware storage, a MAC address EEPROM in case I decided to add Ethernet later on, and a 25 MHz oscillator plus some LEDs.
Nothing super fancy, main goal is to validate my base support schem…

Erinnert ihr euch, als Google als _der_ tolle fancy IT-Arbeitgeber galt, zu dem alle wollten, der aber quasi als unerreichbar galt? Nun, auch das Problem hat sich inzwischen selbst gelöst…

Demystifying AI in Criminal Justice
There is widespread confusion among criminal justice practitioners and legal scholars about the use of artificial intelligence in criminal justice. This didactic review is written for readers with little or no background in statistics or computer science. It is not intended to replace more technical treatments. It is intended to supplement them and encourage readers to dig more deeply into topics that strike their fancy.

I seriously tried to join the ranks of the keyboard snobs, using a fancy mechanical keyboard. Special key switches! Movable keycaps! (needed so I could put END where I can find it). Fancy Color LEDs!
But after a year of constant typos, I finally gave up and went back to my Mac extended. Something about the super-low profile and the key separation works so much better for me.

@… which fancy tool?

Settling down with a bowl of Twitter congee and watching Blade Runner 2049 on my fancy new TV.

@… is going down the same ugly road that already made kmail unusable. Playful OS devs adding fancy features. And while messing with the code, it starts eating your mail and stops to be reliable. It will end as a perfect frontend that is unreliable 😞 That was the initial reason I moved from kmail to TB. It is getting difficult to find something reliable in…

@… “needed to implement our own find-in-page” is a compound code smell that tattles on the previous stink of “we should be rendering this on the server side, but here’s some fancy javascript instead”.

You know what the most amazing thing about chatbots? They are agreeable? Imagine if we all supported each other in our theories and flights of fancy? It would be an interesting experience if nothing else,

Playing around with ngscopeclient and my beta thunderscope doing some performance measurements.
My fancy LeCroy scopes can only trigger at like 1-2 WFM/s at 20M point memory depth.
The ThunderScope will do 50.
*and* ngscopeclient on my work laptop paired with it can FFT that data, in real time, without slowing down as long as you don't also do peak searching (which I need to completely rip out and optimize to make faster and better).
