I had always admired James’ work and respected his knowledge. I had the pleasure of working with him only briefly, but we hit it off (I christened him “sibling pastry” when making fun of his “brother cake” handle, and it stuck).
I knew about this through Lloydi and Ricky because James had gone dark late last year.
This makes me sad. It’s a loss for all of us.
From Ricky:
Energy transition?
What energy transition.
"[An] accurate description would be that energy transition has gone far enough to see low carbon energy dominate marginal demand growth—thus halting new growth of fossil energy—while leaving all the existing fossil energy demand, unfortunately, in place."
Strait Up Hormuz - by Gregor Macdonald - Cold Eye Earth
When all of this is “over”, it's not going to be good enough to say “We shouldn't have let that happen. It'll be better now.” That's just lying to yourselves and everyone else for 4 years.
The only acceptable outcome from a world power who has gone this far off the rails is “we've made it so that it *can’t* happen again.”

Abby Martin: “The world sees Israel for what it is and it can’t last for long in its current state. You cannot expect change in a society this far gone. It is full-throated fascist. And that’s why they act the way they do, with full… total impunity. Because they have no humanity left.”

No more interrupt loops with Linux kernel 6.19!
This is a showstopper for me.
There’s a whole Russian doll of concerns. The innermost one is stuff like “What is this actually good for?” and “What are effective strategies for using it if one does use it?” But on the outside are the showstoppers: astronomical power and water usage, grotesquely unethical training data sourcing, and the hideousness of the people who own all this and stand to gain.
I might actually have fun tinkering with that innermost nesting doll…maybe…but it’s hypothetical for me. First I have to get through all the many outer layers, and I’m already done and gone at the very outermost one.
And then, develop your skill for being oriented, for harnessing chaos into something going a particular direction. You can only do this once you've developed taste and skill and gone the wrong direction a bunch. You cannot shortcut this experience, but as someone told me at a time I was not quite ready to hear it, the job of the senior engineer is to bring clarity.
Decisions get made so fast, before we're really ready for them, and in conflict. The results are mediocre to bad. It's up to us to sort through the mess and say "this way" out of it. Not as dictators or authorities, but as people who understand the territory. And who can spot when their teams are going in circles and pick a path out.
So I've solved the coupler de-embed issue but am even more confused than when I started.
I updated to the latest upstream VkFFT and, after fixing a shader caching issue that caused problems the first time I tried this, have it working.
The race condition or whatever it was seems to be gone, although I don't have push descriptors working (that's a separate issue).
But it seems to now be behaving consistently in the inverted state: forward to tempBuf1 and reverse …

Sonnet 081 - LXXXI
Or I shall live your epitaph to make,
Or you survive when I in earth am rotten,
From hence your memory death cannot take,
Although in me each part will be forgotten.
Your name from hence immortal life shall have,
Though I, once gone, to all the world must die:
The earth can yield me but a common grave,
When you entombed in men's eyes shall lie.
Your monument shall be my gentle verse,
Which eyes not yet created…

Throughout most of my life I've lost something maybe once. In the last two weeks, I've lost two things already. And to the point of not even being able to tell when they "disappeared" — I was convinced I have them on me until I've noticed they're gone. I feel like I was losing my mind.
It doesn't help that I was raised to feel guilty about my mistakes. It doesn't help that people around me take this lightly (it's nothing "important"), so I also feel guilty about feeling guilty. And completely estranged.

Adding to the institutional knowledge, AKA writing up an incident in the "Things that have previously gone wrong" section of the Ops Manual
Following an attack on several Wikimedia projects that comprised a large number of accounts, Wikis are now back to read and write access. Compromised accounts made automated mass edits across pages with the edit summary "Закрываем проект", among potentially other edits.
The issue was identified and fixed. Many functions have gone back to normal.

In my ward the greens seem to have got about a third of the vote vs Labour with the rest. 2:1
Which is a big improvement. 300 or so neighbors to turn.
In the borough we've gone from unanimous Labor to about a third Green. Which is oddly proportional to my ward. Not really sure I understand the actual counting system with the three votes I had or if it's PR or not.
Nationally its awful for Labour but also worse for the country since outside London they lost mostly to the Reform (nee Brexit) party/private-company.
Conservatives seem irrelevant, even Lib Dems more important.
I've been casting doubt upon the idea of an imminent Reform government, saying it'd be unprecedented for Reform to go from one ever elected MP to 400 MPs in a single election. But these elections feel pretty close to that kind of swing.
Starmer says he'll stay on. He has no concept of what government should do other than give tax breaks to businesses to try to get economic growth, and crack down in authoritarian ways with increased surveillance and ID checks and prosecuting protestors.
He doesn't seem to realize that government can just do things, especially after Brexit. It can just pay people to build infrastructure owned by and giving profit to the state. It does not need private investment. Isn't that supposed to be the point of a Labour party?
So things will continue to get worse and Labour will continue to chase Reform policies (and so validate them). So Reform may well win.
There is one hope. Burnham could resign as mayor, a safe-seat MP could resign, and Burnham stands there. Assuming he wins he could then stand for leadership. And then if he wins and then actually does something despite the protest of the right wing of his own party, maybe things could get better.
That's a lot of conditionals. You'd want good odds to place a bet on that.
Or the greens of course. These elections have seen hundreds of new green councilors. The momentum is good. Probably take the council here next time unless that Burnham things happens.
So good for Greens, but better for Reform, and we could do with a Labour party which wasn't failing.
Oh well. Fingers crossed I guess. Few more years till the national ones.

America Won’t Be Easily Forgiven—Even After Trump Is Gone | The New Republic https://rmendes.net/bookmarks/2026/02/11/america-wont-be-easily-forgiven
The democratic, liberal, dependable USA that I have known and respected for most of my adult life is dead and will not be revived even after the orange clown stops pretending to be king. It cannot, because the concept of the USA in the world outside its own borders very much depended on soft power, which requires trust. That trust is gone, completely, and probably irrevocably for at least a generation.
It saddens me deeply that all the value, all the good that this long-term stability …

As it is, keytool says there is nothing wrong with my keystore or its password, and watching the process launch I see after the init, it sits, idle, a few seconds later its Time value in top only increments the millisecs, and within a minute, it is gone, voom, not a trace in any logs as to why.
