Baghed may be breaking up, but from that has spawned new Philly band Dasgüt, and this is their first single. Major Baghed vibes. Dig it.

This has allowed me to make clear something that's been at the back of my mind. Something that is at the heart of so much blind stupidity in big tech.
It's the assumption that we will change one thing and all else will be the same.
In this case, we will fire lots and lots of employees all over the world and we will make lots of profit. We're smart enough to make the AI, and we're dumb enough to think that there will only be one consequence. 1/n

I gave a talk recently to some legislators. It dealt with the history of politics and trade in the region we were in. While some of what I presented was fairly obscure, most of it could be dug up by anyone with a library card and a few days to kill. But it all seemed to come as a revelation to my audience.
As a rule, our elected leaders aren't dumb - some are very smart. But we do ourselves a disservice when we imagine they know what we know. They might not - we may need to explain…
Once I pulled my head out of my ass this wasn't horrible. Part 1 was straightforward, decided to do some set stuff and managed to get it right the first time. Part 2 made my brain hurt a bit because all of the ideas that came to me were very, very slow and memory intensive. Then decided to scrap it and just do what the directions told me to do: count the paths...so I replaced the dumb with a dictionary which was so much better as an idea.
Solution:
I'm starting to suspect that Trump is going to dumb his way into socialism and get some accidental wins. If he weren't outwardly racist and cruel, I'd take more of a “wait and see" approach. https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/115662009320916894

Projector is in place. Not as dumb as I usually like. Has an android OS and a Netflix app and things instead of just a HDMI input. But it has HDMI input too.
Screen is 1.9m wide by .92 high which is a 2.15m screen measured across the diagonal like they usually do.
Projection is keyed quite drastically with the right hand side being shrunk down vertically to square the image, which I suspect means pretty radically reduced resolution on the right hand side of the screen.
Maybe I could attach it to the bottom of the overhead cupboards more squarely onto the wall than the shelf is? Worth a though.
But working well. Will be even better when the main bedroom media PC arrives.
Police, jail, and banning stuff seem to be this board's/mayor's only "solutions" to the public health crisis of addiction, and not, for example, voluntary treatment: we still lack enough treatment facilities to accommodate every San Franciscan who comes in ready and wanting help to kick their habit.
This policy is particularly dumb because of its obvious harm to nightlife. People want to be able to buy snacks when they leave the club.
If you ever catch me making fun of older folks struggling with technology, just remind me of the numerous times I've tried to switch from vi to nano. Ever damn time I open nano for some dumb reason, I forget by the time I'm ready to save and quit. [Esc]-w-q-[Enter] is forever burned into my brain.

Yup, as I suggested yesterday the new law to release the Epstein materials from the Justice Dept is just a sham that the R-party maga-klan inserted (and the D-party missed or ignored) and that Bimbo Blondy Bondi will drive a truck through.
The D-Party certainly needs to listen to the Who's Song "Won't Get Fooled Again" because they certainly got fooled again.
How dumb is our D-party? It appears that it is really and sincerely dumb.

Today I did day 1 of #AdventOfCode, and obviously missed the small trap hidden in the second part.

U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced dumb-ass legislation today
that would allow private entities to play at Pirates🏴☠️in the Caribbean
The "Cartel Marque and Reprisal Reauthorization Act"
authorizes felon-president Trump to commission American pirates,
under "letters of marque"
to seize property and persons on land or sea.
Representative Tim Bimbo Burchett (R-TN) introduced the House version of the legislation.
Saw a Reddit thread where someone asked what would happen if a personal wealth cap of $100M was introduced.
The comments were entirely full of people gleefully calling the poster dumb and going to great lengths to argue how nothing can ever be changed about wealthy people being wealthy actually, because their wealth makes the economy run and that messing with the stock market will break the world.
So many excuses all over for complacency with an economic system that is very much the result of specific policy decisions and doesn’t even do the things it’s supposed to.
Why do people keep hiding behind the economy as if it’s a weird deity?

Is #AI really just dumb statistics? "Olympiad-level physics problem-solving presents a significant challenge for both humans and artificial intelligence (AI), as it requires a sophisticated integration of precise calculation, abstract reasoning, and a fundamental grasp of physical principles," says the (abstract of the) paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.10515: "The Chinese Physics Olympiad (CPhO), renowned for its complexity and depth, serves as an ideal and rigorous testbed for these advanced capabilities. In this paper, we introduce LOCA-R (LOgical Chain Augmentation for Reasoning), an improved version of the LOCA framework adapted for complex reasoning, and apply it to the CPhO 2025 theory examination. LOCA-R achieves a near-perfect score of 313 out of 320 points, solidly surpassing the highest-scoring human competitor and significantly outperforming all baseline methods." Oops ...?
Tuba is one of the few gtk/gnome design app that manages to make a mostly good desktop app, having a sidebar and stuff, but then you'll see them doing stuff like you need to click on the pfp in order to see a profile preview instead of just hover, and in order to actually open the profile you need to click the preview's pfp????

Once upon a time when work was using its own email servers, I had to periodically archive my email accounts. I would create a new gmail account and just throw it up on there so the emails were still searchable in my mail client if the account was included…
Now I have a bunch of gmail accounts that have tens of thousands of emails form twenty years ago.
This is dumb... especially with storage the way it is these days.
So now I'm logging into those accounts, downloading the emails and any other Google data, and deleting the accounts from Google.

Do you think Hallmark will ever make a movie about a dumb, but hunky ICE agent, who never, ever removes his mask, and a sultry (and underage) mar-the-lago faced, Epstein girl?

One of my favorite mastodon features is the time-based muting. Someone's posting through (suffering, lol) a football game, and I have less than zero interest in sportsball? But I generally enjoy following them? Mute them for 1 hour (or 6 hours), and my screen is no longer littered with crap about touchzonegoalruns.
Or maybe you don't want to see my stupid replies to a dumb horror movie from 40 years ago? Mute me for an hour or two, and voila!

I truly appreciate almost* every one of my followers. I don’t lock my account for various neurotic reasons but I do *curate* my followers for humanness and other vibes. I don’t “follow back” much, as my firehose is already too much. I block or at least soft-block most new followers.

Today’s plan: buttress a sagging shelf in my daughter’s closet. Bought some new brackets & thought it’d be pretty straightforward.
However, the vertical foundational wood piece might be overlapping the edge of a stud, but is more edge proximate.
Then the wood rail that the shelf sat upon, is not mounted to the wall, but instead to the foundational piece, leaving a gap between it and the wall and, crucially, meaning that any bracket would not be level with the wall, sagging in…
