Turkish authorities on Thursday detained a comedian whose stand-up routine drew complaints that it insulted religious values after it was widely viewed online.
Deniz Goktas was detained for questioning at Istanbul’s main airport on his return from a trip abroad, the state-run Anadolu agency reported, days after prosecutors launched an investigation into possible charges of “publicly insulting religious values.”
The comedian’s show, recorded in Istanbul last month, was uploaded to …

OK, but if that truck is only carrying a trailer with a battery and a charger, what’s the point of transporting it at all?

Can I build Ladybird under Darling on Linux and then run it on my mac? Let's find out.
I spent some more time working on Retort, ran a lot of experiments and tuned the output evaluator to measure what I think is important. Did the LLM implement the full spec? Is there good test coverage and working tests? How long did it take, and how much did it cost? Easy to run your own experiments, and test on your own code, with statistical (ANOVA) modeling of the results.
Cursed networking things I recently learned:
1) There are two, mutually incompatible, standards for running 40GbE over a single multimode fiber pair.
One uses CWDM with four wavelengths (850/880/910/940 nm) mapping each 10G serdes lane to a wavelength. This also supports 100G.
The other uses only two wavelengths (850 and 900), gearboxing two serdes lanes onto each, with an optical data rate of 20 Gbps per wavelength. Since the lasers/gearboxes can't run at 50 Gbps NRZ i…

One of those notes is that China may well be doing the modern equivalent of Charles De Gaulle buying American, but this time it's releasing open models.
Another note is that people can be both evil and incompetent, and that the systems of control that have been built over the last several thousand years have evolved to be extremely resilient.
I think there's also a tendency to ignore emergent intelligence, or at least to assume that it must not be as smart as individuals. But the emergent intelligence of the capitalist system should not be underestimated. Even when run by the least many of the least competent people in history, the system can be quite adaptive when it comes down to self-preservation.
The point is not to try to out think it, because that's actually impossible. The point is to design systems that can think faster.
Who would’ve expected an event that has been run by Trump is in shambles.

New policy on my computers: Run absolutely nothing from Google. It will eat your CPU.
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.
