To Those Who Fired or Didn't Hire Tech Writers Because of AI
Replacing technical writers with AI-generated docs is a mistake you can still undo. Get them back. Get them onboard.

There's been some sort of an incident during which a Latvian crew member tried to install a remote access trojan onto an Italian ferry on behalf of a foreign power.

Die Lufthansa Group setzt künftig bei der Onboard-Internet-Versorgung statt auf die Telekom auf Starlink. Der Konzern werde ab der zweiten Jahreshälfte 2026 seine rund 850 Flugzeuge mit der Technik des Unternehmens von Elon Musk ausrüsten, kündigte Europas größter Luftverkehrsverbund am 13. Januar 2026 an(öffnet im neuen Fenster). #Golem

Mmmmmh capacitor plague era. Anyone need a project P4 motherboard? Has AGP slot, onboard network and sound. Yours for price of shipping in US. DM me.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan have created
the world’s smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots:
-- microscopic swimming machines that can independently sense and respond to their surroundings,
operate for months
and cost just a penny each.
Barely visible to the naked eye,
each robot measures about 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers,
smaller than a grain of salt.
Operating at the scale of many biologi…

Penn and Michigan Create World’s Smallest Programmable, Autonomous Robots
Smaller than a grain of salt, the robots can navigate their environment, measure temperatures and respond autonomously using tiny onboard computers.

To my mind the following article suggests that the present day "AI" approach is very wrong.
Why? Because biological RI (Real Intelligence) out performs CI (Computer Intelligence) by orders of magnitude on many dimensions: power required (perhaps 20 to 50 watts for the human brain), weight, size, cooling, and ability to innovate in new ways.
Our present digital computer approach to intelligence seems about as apt as trying to power passenger airplanes using onboard coal…

OpenAI Signs $38 Billion Cloud Computing Deal With Amazon
After signing agreements to use computing power from Nvidia, AMD and Oracle, OpenAI is partnering with the world’s largest cloud computing company.

Is mastodon.social down or is my onboard (in flight) Internet provider blocking that domain? 🤔
I can connect to hachyderm and Bluesky, and I don't see any chatter on there about mastodon.social being down. 😵

Saving Skylab
During launch, the micrometeoroid shield surrounding the Skylab Workshop ripped loose. Designed to protect the workshop from tiny space particles and the sun's scorching heat, its loss caused sunlight to raise internal temperatures to over 130° F, making the station uninhabitable and threatening foods, medicines, films, and experiments that were onboard. Astronaut Rusty Schweickart was responsible for testing a parasol on Earth and developing procedures for deploying it in space in an effort …

Another way of saying those people were just murdered....
"The clips show some of the boats were already stopped at sea when they were detected, and the people onboard were potentially within reach of U.S. forces before they were blown up."

What the Pentagon’s Attack Videos Reveal About the Boat Strikes at Sea
The military has released 21 video clips of U.S. attacks on vessels it says are trafficking drugs. But they tell only part of the story.

Everyone will have an ISDN connection
Tablet PCs will be the future
If you don’t get onboard with fuzzy logic you’ll be a dinosaur soon
This time VR is completely different from the previous 4 times
3D television is here to stay
Wearables will replace computers

Donald Trump On Race:
💥"And we just clean out that whole thing … I don’t know, something has to happen, but it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished, and people are dying there, so I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location where I think they could maybe live in peace for a change.
