AI, a few thoughts, observations about AI & security vulns.
My standard line about AI is "there's a lot I'm uncertain about". But let's be clear, there's a lot I don't like & I'm probably biased towards the "here's how spectacularly AI failed once again" news (of which there are plenty) or at least the "it's not as impressive as it may look".

Senate votes to end DHS shutdown
-- House next
After 41 days, the Senate voted early Friday morning to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, excluding ICE and CBP,
ending a bitter impasse that laid bare the inability of both parties to close out an agreement.
In a near-empty chamber, senators approved the funding by voice vote at 3 a.m.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Majority Whip John Barrasso and other senior Republicans spent hours late Thurs…

This Friday is the next Bandcamp Friday, and I'm pretty psyched for it. Despite grabbing things here and there (I can't always wait for Bandcamp Friday if there's something I wanna listen to and I'm out of free streaming plays 😂) - there's definitely several more things I wanna grab.
So much amazing stuff coming out lately.

I'm fighting a large complex data structure built with a hash and an array. I'm not _sure_ yet, but I think in this case the entry for the entry with key 'n' in the hash is at element 'n' in the array...

I'm going through some coins that my grandpa apparently collected. From what I can figure out, this is likely a copy of a 1776 "Fugio Dollar". There is a visible seam running around the edge, meaning that it was cast instead of struck. I wonder what (if anything) it is worth. The weight doesn't feel right. I'm guessing that it is made of pewter or something.

Calibrations for the Sasaki volume on odd spheres and the no-gap problem
Jonas Matuzas
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.22961 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22961 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22961
arXiv:2602.22961v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: For each odd sphere $S^{n}$ with $n=2m 1\ge 5$, we consider the Sasaki volume functional $\mathrm{Vol}^S(V)=\int_{S^{n}}\sqrt{\det(I (\nabla V)^{\top}(\nabla V))}\,d\mathrm{vol}$ on smooth unit tangent vector fields $V$. Using the Brito--Chacon--Naveira calibration $\omega=a\wedge\Theta$ on the unit tangent bundle $E=UTS^{n}$, we establish the universal calibrated lower bound $\mathrm{Vol}^S(V)\ge c(m;1)\,\mathrm{vol}(S^{n})$, where $c(m;1)=4^{m}/\binom{2m}{m}$. In the relaxed (integral-current) setting, we show that the section-constrained stable mass in $E$ equals the calibration value and is attained by an $\omega$-calibrated mass-minimizing integral $n$-cycle in the section class.
We also analyze the equality case on smooth graphs. If a smooth graph is $\omega$-calibrated on an open set, then it satisfies the rigidity system $\nabla_V V=0$ and $\nabla_X V=\lambda X$ for all $X\perp V$, hence is locally a radial distance-gradient field. In particular, for $m\ge 2$ there is no smooth unit field on $S^n$ whose graph is $\omega$-calibrated everywhere.
Finally, we construct an explicit smooth recovery sequence (presented in detail for $S^5$ and then extended to all odd dimensions) and prove a uniform nonvanishing estimate for the polar-shell normalization in the patching construction. As a consequence, $\inf_{V}\,\mathrm{Vol}^S(V)=c(m;1)\,\mathrm{vol}(S^{n})$, so there is no Lavrentiev gap.

Any thoughts on search options?
The ad driven postings taking me to on-line but not local stores , treating every search as if I'm looking for something to buy, the return of multiple related items when I'm searching for a specific item (down to part number in the query) are making search far less useful than the printed options of my youth.

Overheard at the office: "I'm overwhelmed. They want ETA to completion to share with stakeholders on my next project, when I haven't even started it, and my current project has taken longer than expected. Meanwhile I'm being asked to sign off on something that I don't' think was done correctly. Retirement is looking good."

So I'm walking out of the forest, found a way to cross the small river and I'm trying to get to the main road. The road straight ahead is going through a farmstead (surrounded by fence), with "private property, keep out", etm. So I'm turning to the side road. That one is going next to another farmstead (outside the fence), yet "private property", etm.
Seriously, what's wrong with these people?! Did the capitalism mess up their brains so much?! What am I supposed to do, walk straight through their fields?!

Is death standing a cyberpunk game?
I think it fits the estics, in a different way than usual but it does.
I'm not sure about the lore, but in certain ways it does.
The story it's probably the bit that fits the least; it's also quite important so maybe I'm wrong.

I'm happy to announce the long-awaited first release of misp-modules-cli version 1.0.0.
This initial release makes it nifty and convenient to use MISP expansion modules directly from the command line, whether you are working against a local or remote misp-modules service. The goal is simple: bring the power of misp-modules into a lightweight CLI workflow that is easy to script, automate, and integrate into daily analysis work.

“When you hear the warnings beeping and flashing all the time,

The latest instance of a gunman in his vicinity — after the two assassination attempts during the 2024 campaign — led the president to contemplate why such things keep happening to him.
