Sometimes hacking a computer means a whole different thing...
In this use, I'm actually hacking (with a hacksaw) the case apart to add an I/O shield (custom made) so I can fit an older motherboard that was not designed for this case.
And thank you to Gateway for making me do this by not using a removable shield and instead stamping every hole they needed and covering them with a sticker if they weren't on this model. 🤦‍♂️

four 3d printer I/O shields each with slightly better layout and options.  the top is the earliest and has holes that are too small (the DB9 and DB25 are comically small).  the next has the right sized DB9 and DB25 cutouts, but there is still a problem with the clearance on the PS/2 ports. the third one would have worked, but I wanted to shift the PS/2 ports half a millimeter and add labels for the three DB ports.
the back of a gateway 2000 G3 case with a large rectangle jacked out where the IO shield should go.
the back of a Gateway 2000 G3 case with the completed I/O shield and motherboard installed. everything lines up and fits.
my assorted implements of destruction used to create the hole for the I/O shield.  sitting on top of an old table cloth covered in small pieces of metal are: a round file, a triangle file, a pair of snips, a hacksaw, and a pair of needle nose pliers.

Series C, Episode 04 - Dawn of the Gods
DAYNA: Orac with delusions of grandeur, Zen unable to control the ship. I'd say we've a lot of little problems on our hands.
AVON: Course deflection is zero zero five. Speed Standard by five and increasing. I'd say we have one large problem on our hands.

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "This scene appears to be set aboard the Liberator, the advanced alien spacecraft that serves as the main setting for much of the series. The interior shows the characteristic white and geometric design of the ship's living areas or flight deck. Three crew members are present in what appears to be a tense or serious moment. One character is seated wearing earth-toned clothing, while another stands behind in dark attire. A third crew member can be seen i…

the "woke games detector"'s ULTRAKILL problem: there are some games they don't like just because the developer is vaguely progressive and the fandom is largely queer and makes a lot gay fanart of the characters but they have to come up with some 4d chess problem with the game itself
like ah yes the game about robot killing demons in hell and extracting their blood is woke because there's a blahaj easter egg and not because there's shitload of V1 x Gabriel yao…

screenshot of the woke games detector, ULTRAKILL is listed as woke for the following reasons: Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. The word 'gay' is spelled out by three mannequins posing in flag symbols. Level 5-S contains a reference to the BlĂĄhaj plushie, a pro-trans symbol.

Something that just drives me up the wall about this particular area of Git (merge conflicts) is that, beyond the all-too-typical Git problem of sloppy terminology, this is bad feature design. In most situations, “use ours” and “user theirs” are •both• the wrong answer! There are two doors, and they’re •both• trapdoors.
If you have a merge conflict, that means that you changed something •and• somebody else changed something, and your job is to •synthesize• both changes. To use one is to discard the other, which is usually not what you want!
The thing Git (and every Git GUI) ought to surface is a three-way merge: show me what I changed and what they changed ••relative to the nearest common ancestor••. Yes yes yes, I know it’s possible to finagle that into view with Git. It should be the danged default. It is what I should see first. It is what I should see if I have no idea what I’m doing.

Let's do a deep dive into this paper: "Why Language Models Hallucinate."
When this came out, many people's summary was "even OpenAI admits that hallucinations are a fundamental problem of transformers/autoregressive models/LLMs."
I've seen many people conclude that this means OpenAI is grifting, knows they're building on a wrong paradigm, knows they won't get to AGI etc.

The first page of the paper "Why language model hallucinate" by Kalai et al. Three of the authors are from OpenAI. Parts of the paper are highlighted.

Oof, fuck microsoft.
But also, there's no reason to use permissive licenses any more. "Open source" has taken over the world. We no longer have to work with billion-dollar companies in order to get our stuff used. Now we need to protect ourselves from being taken advantage of by them.

Hithium just made a bold move into long-duration energy storage with three major launches: a massive 1,300Ah battery cell, a 6.9 MW/55.2 MWh system, and a lithium-sodium hybrid specifically designed for power-hungry AI data centers.
The goal? Solve renewable energy's intermittency problem while meeting AI's exploding electricity demands.
