A cat wandered into the farm, very affectionate, bit skinny, knows about houses and doors, clearly not a typical stray, and begging for food. We are now at the vet to see if she has a chip (or a dread illness).

Discovering her overwhelming passion for long walks chasing balls in the sea really helped, and she made friends with many other local dogs, and slowly settled in - now, she's attentive and happy and playful and a bonded budd…

Well after all that reading I had to get up and do something, one of the many things I avoided during the heat. My two trees from the Woodland Trust arrived yesterday, not much more than a twig and a leaf at this stage, so I potted them up. I knew if I looked hard enough I'd find another big ceramic pot forgotten in the undergrowth, and voilŠ. I'm now crimson in the face, and er glowing, I believe the phrase is.
Edited to add they are a cherry and a hazel.

So I went to the farmers' market this morning to get raspberries for jam (acquired. canned.) The berry purveyor also had (OMG) MARIONBERRIES. I couldn't help myself. I bought a flat. Made one pie. Froze another 5 pies worth of berries.

Working in computer security, I've learned to be *real fucking careful* about this law and have heard of it being interpreted *very broadly.* If a client of mine described a system to circumvent access restrictions like this I would fire them. But assuming I didn't fire them, I would
1) tell them to shut it down immediately
2) tell them to talk to a lawyer.
LLMs, as a class of user, are clearly not authorized to access the information. By circumventing access controls, they have "knowingly accessed a computer without authorization." Those access restrictions exist to protect against various damages, including bandwidth use and "intellectual property theft" (another concept I'm not a fan of, but anyway). By violating those restrictions they could open themselves up to legal liability.
Now, IANAL. My job is to describe risk. That's a sufficient risk. It actually doesn't even matter if you'd win the case in the end, a lot of people just can't afford to fight.
But, in this case, it tends to be powerful people, for whom the law does not apply, abusing people who neither have the protection of the law nor the money to just ruin someone's life with a flood of lawyers.

And it’s yet another one of the things where now when I yell it, I have to specify that it’s something I’ve been telling students and companies alike since long before the release of GPT, because otherwise people assume it’s just a reaction to gen AI:
“Generating code is by •far• the easiest part of programming.”
“No matter the source, don’t let code into your project unless you understand what it does.”
“Programming languages exist for humans to communicate with other humans. Code does not just make machines go; it encodes and reifies human mental models. Good code communicates •intent•; very bad code has no coherent intent at all.”
and so on

I love writing. I wasn't always good at it (it's debatable that I am now). But it was never about being good, it was always about process; about playing with language; about putting one word in front of another and moving them around; about dragging thoughts from the darkness of my head into the light on the page to make sense of them and to communicate; about affirming my humanity. Writing's never been for everyone - that's fine. But how we're collectively treating it no…

"Another motivation for reducing the steel intensity of modern society is to limit the consequences of geopolitical conflicts. The more steel we produce for peaceful purposes, the more steel becomes available for war and destruction. Remarkably, the production of military equipment is absent from modern steel statistics, and if mentioned, its share is very low. However, in times of war, steelmaking facilities switch to producing steel for military purposes. The steel industry can thus be converted into a weapons industry at any moment, and there is now a lot more steel production capacity available than there has ever been in history."
