Extreme dominance of Earth-origin heavy ions in the intense #RingCurrent near the Earth during the May 2024 super #GeomagneticStorm: #ionosphere supplied vast majority of ring current ions during May 2024 super geomagnetic storm, study finds: https://en.nagoya-u.ac.jp/news/articles/earths-ionosphere-supplied-vast-majority-of-ring-current-ions-during-may-2024-super-geomagnetic-storm-study-finds/ - despite the dense solar wind, solar wind ion contributions to the ring current during the May 2024 superstorm were minimal; the first simultaneous observation of ring current ions and solar wind during a storm this large.

With the date intentionally mis-set, after taking the network down then up, FreeBSD froze in response to:
pkg upgrade -Fqy
Then a kernel panic.
No response to keyboard input, so I could not type 'continue' at the prompt:

I took a snapshot of the guest in the panic state.

If I do say so myself, I do love expressive I can be with Kitten.
This is me injecting raw HTML markup into a Markdown code block in a Kitten Markdown page to highlight specific lines in a code block¹.
(The string interpolation of the HTML as an array is a hack that bypasses Kitten’s default sanitisation and should only be used with trusted content.)
PS. I’m going through all the tutorials on the site to update them to reflect the current state of Kitten after the three-mon…

I’ve been working more lately to distinguish the •technology• of LLMs in the abstract from the •business model political project• of LLM products as they currently exist. People get those two things muddled. I have serious problems with both, but they’re not all the same problems, and it’s useful to distinguish!
This thread is about the latter.

The FBI in recent weeks has interviewed current and former election officials about the 2020 election in Milwaukee,
ramping up wide-ranging reviews of voting in the swing states that Donald Trump lost that year.
Election officials are watching the developments in Milwaukee to see if agents try to seize ballots,
as they did in January in Fulton County, Georgia.
The confiscation of tens of thousands of absentee ballots from Wisconsin’s largest city would set off alarms…
