by accident i stumbled on this review by the #NSA on Bruce Schneiers "Applied Crypto" book from long ago.
![9. BOOK REVIEW: APPLIED CRYPTOGRAPHY [censored] Reviewer
Applied Cryptography, for those who don't read the internet news, is a
book written by Bruce Schneier last year. According to the jacket,
Schneier is a data security expert with a master's degree in computer
science. According to his followers, he is a hero who has finally
brought together the loose threads of cryptography for the general
public to understand. Schneier has gathered academic research, internet
gossip, and everything he co…](https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/115/617/078/445/675/386/original/56a3f192560809fc.png)

Very good news, indeed.
Also: “The agreement has sidelined Sussan Ley’s Coalition, who criticised the ‘dirty deal’ after Labor refused to accept its laundry list of business-friendly demands.”
This, of course, is a natural consequence of the #LNP doubling and tripling down on policies that handed them their arses at the polls, and then publicly throwing a tanty when they don’t get their way.

I was just thinking about how the fact that #Musk named his AI "Grok" is evidence that he "reads sci-fi" in the same way he "plays video games." Like, he claims to do it but when it comes time to show the evidence it's clear he does not actually "grok" it.
Like... To grok something is to have a layer deeper than simply knowledge, but mathematically encoding statistical relationships between words is pretty obviously not even understanding much less qualifying as "groking" it. In the book, the ability to grok something is also the ability to annihilate that thing with a thought. Just pretending that an LLM actually *was* something that could become AGI (which it's not), this name would imply the AI would have the power to annihilate reality. That's bad. That's a bad name for an AI.
And why would a greedy fascist name something of his after something an anarchist communist space Jesus taught to the hippie cult he started? There are so many layers of facepalm to this. It's some kind of php-esque fractal of incompetence.
Like, there's no reason to talk about this but my brain does this to me sometimes and now it's your problem.

Just had a visit from Fellesforbundet at the workplace. To be honest, we get a lot of visits from Fellesforbundet since they are located in a building right across the street from my well-adapted industrial company.
Fellesforbundet is a reformist, bureaucratic union affiliated with the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO). It is not syndicalist and operates with a hierarchical structure, including elected leadership and regional divisions.
The union primarily negotiates…
