OpenAI: Erstes Hardware-Gerät ist ein Makro-Pad für 230 US-Dollar
OpenAIs erstes eigenes Gerät heißt Codex Micro und ist ein Makro-Pad. Es kostet 230 US-Dollar und steuert KI-Agenten, wird aber nicht von OpenAI selbst gebaut.

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

Museum scene featuring the Romanesque painting Altar frontal from Avià on a white wall with a very thin metal guardrail in front of it mounted on the floor. Sitting cross-legged on the floor against the wall near the painting is a man wearing a tan shirt, very dark shorts with suspenders, and a dark bucket hat with a set of color pencils on the floor in front of him. He is looking down on a sketch pad on his lap and drawing on the pad with an orange pencil on his right hand.

Finally all done, bar one little patch that needs a quick dab with the paint pad on the long handle. I can't undo it atm to extend it, just waiting for the strong arm of @… to undo it for me 😄 One before, two afters. Payment is a Chinese takeaway tonight 🍜 #DIY

Stairwell with horizontal white slats, oatmeal carpet and grey-lilac paint covered in lots of blobs of polyfilla. Two cats just visible. This is Before.
The same stairwell sans chats and now painted mangolia. Yes I do know that's not how you spell it but let me have my fun. The awkward patch is right at the top of that big wall.
The landing, looking the other way, painted mangolia. Pretty plain and unexciting but now much brighter and not scruffy any more. A large art deco style mirror hangs on the wall.

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.

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 x.com/rfa_space/status/2082125: "We have made the decision to de-stack the vehicle in order to investigate.

* 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)

* STM32H750 MCU
* One GTP of the FPGA (TX only…

Is Dark Matter Really Matter?
Jun-Qian Jiang, Arman Shafieloo
arxiv.org/abs/2608.04763 arxiv.org/pdf/2608.04763 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.

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.
