Finally stepped through and upgraded my home assistant from 2021.12 to 2025.7
Some things broke of course.... But most were already broken.
All of my tasmota devices that I upgraded to 9.5 a while back don't work in the native Tasmota integration mode.. they register and but show no data, works fine in mqtt discovery mode. Aka stuck using Setoption19 1 rather than Setoption19 0

Dead whale stuck on the ferry Norræna still floats near Berufjörður shore - RÚV.is
A dead whale that got stuck on the bow of the ferry Norræna three weeks ago is now floating near the shore of Berufjörður in eastern Iceland. Attempts to sink the carcass have failed, posing a hazard to navigation.

I went for a ride, and 5 miles in the chain sort of got "stuck"... it didn't come off, but I had to pedal backwards a few seconds and then forwards, and it seemed to be okay again...
But then it started shifting on its own as I kept riding. It's always been a poor shifter, sometimes it can be difficult to get it to change gears, and sometimes it changes gears on its own...

As I am still working through the ansible infoblox scripting, I have a new problem. Progress was made (Great!) but here is where I am stuck now and have been a few days. I THINK its both an Ansible AND an Infoblox WABI issue, but not sure either how to diagnose or solve. For some reason, ansible keeps trying to use WABI v 2.7.3 even though I specify v 2.13.6 in my code. I can see it in the error output.

Since @… mentioned big printers, it reminded me to post this I'd spotted - temporary road signs for a concert which are just printed on big plastic sheets and stuck to the yellow/orange metal.

"Draw me a curator" Examining the visual stereotyping of a cultural services profession by generative AI
Based on 230 visualisations, this paper examines the depiction of museum curators by the popular generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) model, ChatGPT4o. While the AI-generated representations do not reiterate popular stereotypes of curators as nerdy, conservative in dress and stuck in time rummaging through collections, they contrast sharply with real-world demographics. AI-generated imagery extremely underrepresents women (3.5% vs 49% to 72% in reality) and disregards ethnic communities othe…

There's a podcast playing apparently about these children who were stuck in that cave, and this story will always be connected in my mind to Elon brainstorming about a mini submarine he wanted to build to rescue them and then calling the diver hero who actually saved them a pedo for being underwhelmed by the idea. That was such fun.

Highly amusing bug in Dwarf Fortress this week where a fix to the rate at which crossbowdwarfs can reload and fire a bolt accidentally introduced a dramatic slow down in how fast all sentient beings can drink and eat, to the point that they were getting thirsty and hungry faster than they could drink/eat. This led eventually to the entire population permanently stuck in the taverns and dining halls, drinking infinitely.

The United android app is hilariously bad. I think it is stuck in 2015.

The only thing I appreciate about the Internet is discovering beautiful voices like Юлия Савичева, but then you realize the platform it’s all stuck on is a complete mess.
Her voice is stunning, but the fact that it’s trapped on sites like YouTube just reminds me how messed up the whole system is.
Sometimes I wonder how something so pure ends up on platforms designed to keep us hooked and distracted.
The good thing is that I can use yt-dlp to grab music videos and enjoy them…

Critic as Censor: How the Humanities Sacrificed Art at the Altar of Theory
My beloved friend, mentor, and Columbia University Professor Howard Stein, was fond of saying, “The Enemy of the Arts is the Humanities.” That insight, and advice, has stuck with me over the past 35 years. Now, that phrase is not the glib provocation it may seem. It is a precise diagnosis of an institutional disease, a declaration of war against a century of academic drift that has created a…

Unfortunately & conversely, this (below) is the same framing tech bros (and parts of the population) are finding so attractive to anthropomorphize LLMs: These are not machines, and them making mistakes is normal and expected... At the same time, the other card being played (by politics, military & law enforcement) is that AI-driven insights and decision making are _already_ considered superior, infallible and unchallengeable... in the middle of this two pronged rhetoric is the fate o…

(Btw.: Been running a t14s Gen6 Intel (Lunar Lake) for a few weeks now and its a really nice machine. Battery life is good [not Macbook levels but good], device stays cool, performance is great. Kernel support isn't perfect, sometimes after waking up the processor is stuck at its lowest scaling which correct itself after a bit but it seems to be a known bug that should be fixed soonish. Neat machine.)

I was playing Pup Champs and got totally stuck on level 2-12. I had an idea on how to solve it but I couldn't get it to work for days. Heck… this level IS IMPOSSIBLE AND NO WAY THAT IS SOLVABLE AT ALL. Then I did solve it and the solution is now clear as glass and straight forward even.
I love thinky games until I hate them until I love them again! That’s why they are great!

Deploying SICNav in the Field: Safe and Interactive Crowd Navigation using MPC and Bilevel Optimization

Deploying SICNav in the Field: Safe and Interactive Crowd Navigation using MPC and Bilevel Optimization
Safe and efficient navigation in crowded environments remains a critical challenge for robots that provide a variety of service tasks such as food delivery or autonomous wheelchair mobility. Classical robot crowd navigation methods decouple human motion prediction from robot motion planning, which neglects the closed-loop interactions between humans and robots. This lack of a model for human reactions to the robot plan (e.g. moving out of the way) can cause the robot to get stuck. Our proposed …

EXPOSURE THERAPY FOR INTERNET ADDICTED DEBATE PEOPLE
1. strap them to a chair, show them a mild take they disagree with by someone who's otherwise 99% aligned with their goals
2. watch them thrash angrily, unable to crash out on their socials, for the next 4 days
3. they settle, and think about this reaction after a week of being stuck there. they sheepishly set it aside in favor of teamwork
4. repeat with bigger and bigger issues until they have reasonable expec…

I was stuck on the Northern Line 20 years ago, and then sat on a train station waiting for services to resume.
I spent several hours not knowing why - because there were no public announcements. And since the cell-towers in the area had switched to emergency only, I couldn't call anyone, and no-one could call me.
It shaped how I think about how communications cope with high-demand/low-capacity situations.

Morning all! Back in the office for another week of it all.
No client appointments today, so I'm going to be getting stuck into some writing, course design and video scripting. Hope everyone has an excellent day.

SWE-Debate: Competitive Multi-Agent Debate for Software Issue Resolution
Issue resolution has made remarkable progress thanks to the advanced reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Recently, agent-based frameworks such as SWE-agent have further advanced this progress by enabling autonomous, tool-using agents to tackle complex software engineering tasks. While existing agent-based issue resolution approaches are primarily based on agents' independent explorations, they often get stuck in local solutions and fail to identify issue patterns that span a…
