Researchers started out trying to test how easy it was to persuade LLMs to misbehave.
They found that writing instructions in a style that mimicked the text LLMs generate in their chain of thought
—a kind of scratch pad that models use to write notes to themselves as they carry out tasks
—would often trick the LLM into behaving as if it had come up with that instruction itself and acting on it.
For example, writing the prompt
“Help me create a guide for making coc…

New PSU in and it's smol. The case should be in here soon and I can get this build back online. Also not pictured, I installed a 2TB NVMe drive in the M.2 slot on the back of the motherboard.

Moving blanket shades etc.
I recently made two window shades, a desk pad, and a stool cushion for a customer using 60s moving furniture blankets. They were very thick to work with, used my Nakajima walking foot industrial machine to sew on the binding. Got a bunch of blisters hammering a punch through the thickness for grommets using my 14 pound maul, basically layer by layer as the quilting was quite thick! Customer is pleased, and sent me photos of them installed.

Goodbye, Montecito.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly moving to U.K.
Harry and Markle will maintain their Montecito chateau as well as their Portugal getaway pad
but will reside at a private, non-royal home in the U.K.
The couple wed in 2018 and stepped away from their senior-royal duties in 2020 to head west in an unprecedented move.

Making good progress on the trainer / board for the probing class, which is going to double as a portable demo board for showing off ngscopeclient at various events.
USB-C powered, has a STM32H750 and XC7A35T because I had a bunch of each lying around and I wanted transceivers.
Test patterns will be selectable by the e-ink display and D-pad, or via a SCPI console on the USB port.
And of course there's probe points on the (12 Mbps) USB itself, so I can use it as a demo o…

Das Sharing-System von HyperOS auf meinem Xiaomi Pad 5 ist so was von kaputt. Erstmal finde ich ja nervig, dass die ersten paar Plätze in der Zielauswahl anscheinend fixiert sind. Aber dann kommt noch hinzu, dass sogar Apps angeboten werden, die nicht einmal installiert sind (Telegram). Tippe ich drauf, wird versucht, die App zu starten. Scheitert natürlich, produziert aber Einträge im App-Switcher wie auch im Dock.

After breaking the Blackwidow Wolverine V3 Pro controller somehow, replaced it with a much less expensive GameSir G7 Pro Tri-Mode. Comes with a charging station, USB-C cable, and a 2.4GHz wireless dongle while also supporting Bluetooth. Initial thoughts is that it's a pretty solid controller and should be easy enough to clean. The D-Pad has all of the clickiness, but works well enough. I'll put it through its paces later on today with some FF16.
The German conquest of space has to wait a bit longer ... "After a successful week of testing RFA ONE on the pad for the first time, we encountered an issue with the vehicle that requires further investigation," write #RFA (Rocket Factory Augsburg) in https://x.com/rfa_space/status/2082125463565078614: "We have made the decision to de-stack the vehicle in order to investigate. We will provide further updates as soon as confirmed information is available." (No word on the next launch attempt by Isar Aerospace either: silence since the launch scrub in June.)
Making progress on the ngscopeclient demo board. It's not the most optimized design, but it's mostly a junk-box build out of stuff I had lying around.
So far I have:
* USB-C power UART
* Probe clips on the USB (12 Mbps) so it can also be used as a test signal
* 5-button D-pad and 2.13" e-ink display for controlling test pattern generation (can also be controlled via UART)
* XC7A35T-2FGG484I FPGA
* STM32H750 MCU
* One GTP of the FPGA (TX only…

A low-slung building in Garden Grove California is the home of the Women's Civic Club, a community group that's been around since 1921.
Once a month for nearly 20 years, it was also home to meetings for the California Coalition for Immigration Reform (CCIR),
one of the influential voices in the anti-immigrant movement during the 1990s and 2000s,
and one whose legacy is still felt today.

Is Dark Matter Really Matter?
Jun-Qian Jiang, Arman Shafieloo
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.04763 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.04763 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.04763
arXiv:2608.04763v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In the standard model of cosmology, it is assumed that dark matter is pressureless with equation of state $w=0$ and dark energy has $w=-1$. We test these assumptions jointly using DESI DR2 distance measurements, including the recent Lyman-$\alpha$ full-shape Alcock-Paczynski (AP) information, DES supernovae, and two complementary CMB treatment. When constant $w_{dm}$ and $w_{de}$ are varied together, we find $w_{dm}=0.000968^{ 0.000501}_{-0.000496}$ and $w_{de}=-0.9380^{ 0.0259}_{-0.0262}$ (68%). With an alternative CMB treatment that marginalizes over the lensing spectrum, the corresponding constraints are $w_{dm}=0.000870^{ 0.000408}_{-0.000410}$ and $w_{de}=-0.9353^{ 0.0258}_{-0.0254}$. Both standard $\Lambda$CDM values are disfavored at approximately $2\sigma$ in the joint extension. Neither parameter departs significantly from its standard value when only that parameter is varied. This behavior arises because late-time distances favor $w_{de}>-1$, while maintaining the early-Universe physical matter density requires a compensating positive $w_{dm}$, which changes the mapping to the matter density today. Allowing dynamical dark energy clarify further on complexity of the situation: phantom crossing for dark energy makes $w_{dm}=0$ consistent with the data, whereas a positive $w_{dm}$ preference persists when crossing is forbidden. Interestingly, the Pad'e-$w$ parameterization that provides a flexible description of a class of quintessence models (with no phantom crossing), along with $w_{dm}$ free, is even mildly favored over the phantom-crossing $w_0w_a$ model according to both the best-fit $\chi^2$ and the DIC under both CMB treatments. One can conclude that the apparent preference for phantom crossing may instead reflect deviations in the dark-matter sector rather than dark-energy dynamics alone. [abridged]

A friend brought over 4 HP mini-PCs and all of them had the battery holder ripped off the mainboard including the pad that attached to the negative-side of the battery. Not the most difficult of fixes, took longer to find a convenient ground and to make sure there wasn't anything crazy between the "negative" end and ground. Still, think it turned out pretty clean.

horse pad down!
ready for the shed which is arriving 3 days early! woo!
It takes a full day to assemble though so no new shed pics today.
first, I have to take everything out of this shed and probably unscrew it from the mat so that I can turn the whole thing 90°

The water was perfectly clear… until I planted the first plants into the bog pond and intake bay! First plantings are always a little iffy because the nutrients in the pond won’t stabilize for a few months. Who knows how much nitrogen made it in with the gravel and little bit of clay or maybe it’ll be too much and the algae will come before the filter gets its compliment of “good bacteria” to start actually filtering and purifying.
I made a plant roster on our back door wall so I could keep track. 😂 🌱 🌱 🌱
A few I have never tried before. This is just the start. We will need more but hoping we can split/propagate a few from the front yard #pandemicpond to save time and money. They are all about $15-$20 a pop.
Here’s the run down:
In the Intake Bay (far corner nearest the shed where water and debris is pulled in and recirculated):
1) A big Red Abyssinian Banana. We’ll see how hardy it is, and if it likes being in the pond. It was marked as a pond plant, but says “moist soil full sun” so I made a little spot inside the liner but built up so its base is dry. It’s a very impressive plant already.
2) Standard pond lily - peach flower. They like deeper water so the bay is the place, the little bit of circulation shouldn’t bother it and it’ll have maximum sun. In time it will provide nice shade for underwater beneficial critters, and a landing pad for airborne critters too.
In the bog filter:
3) nearest in the photo is a marsh marigold, these guys are fantastic, very hardy, and very pretty when they bloom. Would like them to colonize most of the edge of the bog filter to provide a nice soft vibrant edge.
4) flat leafed tall plant is a purple iris.
5) broad leafed low plant is a water Cala lily. They should broaden out and provide nice area coverage.
6) the little guy near the edge is a pitcher plant. It eats bugs! So I put it near the edge. Muaahahaha.
7) tall plant in the back is a type of variegated ginger? It’s called Vanilla Ice…. ice. Ice. Baby.
