Kilauea’s nearly year-long eruption continued Saturday with the start of episode 38.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the latest eruptive episode began at around 8:45 a.m. with sustained lava fountains of about 50 to 100 feet.
Webcam livestreams at the summit showed the fountains had increased in height by 9 a.m.

Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "This appears to be a scene from a science fiction television production, likely from the late 1970s or early 1980s based on the visual style and set design. The setting is clearly a futuristic spacecraft or space station, with characteristic sci-fi elements including control panels, monitors, and sleek technological surfaces visible in the background.

The scene shows two men in what appears to be a command center or bridge area. One figure is standing, …

#infosec annoyance of the day - I use a tool for work that requires me to put in a rolling one-time code for 2fa, and doesn't show the code as I'm typing it.
That would be ok, except if I switch apps to copy the code so I can paste it in, it usually forces me to re-enter my username and password, then even though I'm in the 30 second validity window, it refuses the code.
So I have to wait till the 30 seconds roll over, copy the code, switch to the tool, re-enter my username/password, hope it doesn't take so long to negotiate with the back end that the code in my clipboard expires, then finally paste the code.
Conveniently I only have to do it multiple times a day, every work day.

I think I'm making progress on the bottom-of-column logic.
I've traced out a bunch, but I don't grok.
There's a bunch of control signals running the full height from bottom to top which makes tracing stuff out a bit painful.
The circuit that I thought was the column mux itself seems straightforward, just eight pass transistors that connect the drain-side bitlines to a common 8-bit bus on metal 2 running the full width of the array.
But then there's…

A tranquil winter landscape unfolds under a soft, pale blue sky, where a gentle blanket of snow transforms the scene into a serene wonderland. The undulating terrain is crisscrossed by a winding, snow-dusted road, guiding the eye through the quiet beauty of the season. On either side, skeletal trees stand tall, their bare branches dusted with frost, while dense clusters of evergreens add touches of deep green to the otherwise monochrome palette.
