Having depression is kinda like being a shitty werewolf. When you feel okay, you have to remember the depression is still in there, and can try to jump out at any time. Even with meds. Even on my most medicated days, I can still feel the depression in there, clawing to come to the surface

Ok, first, I’m genuinely curious about this. Honestly, I’m not trolling. I toyed briefly with some version of *nix years ago (maybe 20 or so) but didn’t get it, or it didn’t get me, or something, and I’ve been content to let Apple do all the heavy lifting for me and my computers. That said, can someone explain to me why there are so many versions, or implementations of it? What’s the point of that? Feel free to

https://www.theguardian.com/global-d…

Alright, the internet is all too much right now. I'm gonna take a break for a bit and work on some projects. I have some organizing to do and some bugs to find.
The horrible things in the world don't change what we have to do. Our work is and has always been the same. They may make it easier to get other folks on board, they may make it more obvious that we were right all along, but they don't change our job.
We will do our work of building community, supporting each other, and creating the world we want to see. It will take as long as it takes to do. None of the news changes any of that. So I'm gonna take my break and hopefully come back after I've gotten some of that shit done.

When "self-driving" cars were first getting some hype back in ~2015 or so, I told people who asked me that I didn't think they'd be safe, and that I wished the same money were being invested in driver-assistance systems instead.
At the time, advocates were claiming that self-driving cars would be safer than human drivers.
We now have both self-driving cars and some nifty new driver assistance things, and it turns out that the self-driving cars are in fact being developed by corporations whose attention to the bottom line results in danger to others on the road pretty regularly. I don't actually have stats here for whether they're "safer than human drivers" or not, but the opportunity for one bad software update to make *all* self-driving cars dangerous at once kinda makes me doubt that.
Here's an example of Waymo cars getting "more aggressive" as they try to balance between being too timid and obstructing traffic (including emergency vehicles) and being too dangerous:
https://archive.ph/JJuGv
Here's another example of passing stopped schoolbusses leading to a software recall:
https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/waymo-issue-voluntary-software-recall-after-close-calls/story?id=128207776
In the first article, Waymo claims 91% fewer serious accidents per mile. Obviously an independent audit would be actually trustworthy, but even if we take that claim at face value, it's meaningless if an update tomorrow causes 100,000 accidents.
Note that they could be using better engineering practices, and the fact that they aren't shows that they don't care enough about the risks. They could be deploying new software versions incrementally and slowly, letting new versions rack up lots of miles only on a few vehicles before pushing them to a fleet. The should also have the equivalent of a simulation unit test for "schoolbus is stopped, what do?" and if a software version fails that test, it doesn't make it to the fleet. Clearly they don't have that.
I feel pretty vindicated in my earlier prediction that this tech is a bad idea in the hands of the current advocates.

Maybe an year ago, I was listening to an interview with Albanese where she spoke how powerless she was to stop genocide in Gaza.

At the neighborhood party you may be asked to wear a name tag with your first name. The initial contact and conversation is more relaxed as no one wants to talk about their work. Your neighbors want to know how you feel about that ungodly reno going on down the street, share stories about your kids, and swap anecdotes about pets. Definitely cats... lots of cat sharing. It's a community where no one is selling, no one is recording data, and there's no unfathomable app pushing conversations into your group. The goal is to go home feeling closer to your community and more empathy for its members.

Math people: If I have a bunch of sampled data that I've found a local maximum on, and I want to interpolate the peak location to sub-sample precision, what's a good way to do that?

Pending software update, the changelog now just points to a webpage, web page mentions it's a security update.

Wow. Ep 5 of Starfleet Academy is by far my favorite. Should I be shocked it was the first with Tawny Newsome on the written by?

This ep seems to have twice as much character development as other episodes.

…if we’re watching for a mass turn in popular sentiment against a would-be authoritarian, then it’s the vibes that matter. The guts lead and the facts follow later, if at all.
It’s significant that a mainstream (if salacious) news outlet is running this story at all. It’s significant that it’s making the rounds in my fairly fact-focused TL. I’m interested in who’s repeating this, who’s joking about it, whether it becomes an acceptable SNL gag, whether centrist pundits feel the need to start refuting it.

Recently picked up a "ceramic" coated frying pan for the first time and wondering what it's actually made of and how it's put on.
From the color I'm guessing alumina or maybe silica is likely? Sintered powder coating then firing? My first inclination for putting such a layer on something would be CVD but that's probably too expensive for the thicknesses and production volumes in question, but I feel like a sintered powder layer would be too porous.
