Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "The image shows a scene from what appears to be a science fiction television production from the late 1970s or early 1980s, based on the visual style and production quality. 

The setting looks like the interior of a spacecraft or space station with curved walls and minimalist design elements typical of sci-fi of that era. Two people are visible in the frame - one person in a light-colored shirt standing and gesturing to another person wearing dark clothing w…

My JS Krups is resisting netbooting. I see it doing a DHCP discover, and I see Kea responding with an offer, but then it just sends another Discover. Hmph. I can get to the serial console and doing boot net from there doesn't help; none of the keyboard shortcuts for network diag etc seem to work (except the one that displays the help for it...). So I took the flash SIM out and now it boots to Net rather than flash by default; alas with the same DHCP behaviour. Time to try isc-dhcp.…

A serial console photo, showing a Javastation openbootprom 'ok' prompt and help and 'show-devs' output.  It's a boring white on black text.
The mainboard of a Javastation Krups, to the left are various connectors, just above middle is a speaker and below that the Microsparc,  to the right are two RAM dimms and a flash SIMM.
A horribly hacky serial setup; between two keyboards sits a serial breakout box, various wires and crock clip leads.  It's working by good luck rather than physics, The lights for RX/TX are green and the next LED is red.

There's no putting the genie back in the bottle, but education is [yet another part of our society that is] completely unprepared to deal with generative AI.

I am trying out just boosting some posts that I think are excellent. I have become increasingly bothered by "liking" posts that make me angry or that disgust me in one way or another. So many of the things that I read about Trump and his sycophants disgust me, and while I think that others should see these posts, I always get ticked off when I click the like button so I'm going to try just boosting things and see how I feel about that!

Series B, Episode 05 - Pressure Point
AVON: If I can fire at ground level, the beam radiation should be great enough to cut a narrow channel through the sensor mesh. That would give you eight seconds to get from here to the blockhouse. The mesh would start its repair cycle instantly. Take one step off the channel and you're dead. I know it's a slim chance, but it's the best I can come up with.
BLAKE: Let's try it.

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from a vintage science fiction television series from the late 1970s or early 1980s. The scene shows four people in distinctive costume attire kneeling or sitting in a grassy outdoor setting with vegetation in the background.

The costumes are quite notable - one person wears a burgundy/red padded outfit, another is in a beige/yellow costume, while the others are dressed in darker clothing. The styling and production aesthetic is char…
