First-ever Olympic qualifier in flag football takes place this weekend in Germany https://www.nfl.com/news/first-ever-olympic-qualifier-in-flag-football-takes-place-this-weekend-in-germany

The hallway started the day this meh grey-lilac colour, which had become very grubby and marked, and has ended it a nice invisible shade of mangolia. Next step is the stairwell and upstairs landing, maybe tomorrow otherwise next weekend. We'll be changing the pictures to show a few that have been in storage for years. All this because we needed to make good after having the new radiators fitted as part of the #HeatPump

Y'all I was in Rothesay (isle of Bute) this weekend and there was an aurora!!! It was my first one!! Incredible!! You can't see the colours by eye (although you can spot a weird glow once you know where it is) but they are visible on the phone!
(I didn't modify the photos beyond increasing the luminosity to max)

A hurricane warning was issued for the Big Island,
and a tropical storm warning was in effect for Maui County, which includes the islands of Maui, Molokai, Lanai and Kahoolawe
Tropical Storm Lala is expected to strengthen to a hurricane before reaching Hawaii’s Big Island this weekend, forecasters said Friday,

The National Hurricane Center said Lala should be at hurrica…

Tropical Storm Lala expected to become hurricane near Hawaii
Tropical Storm Lala is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it approaches Hawaii's Big Island. The National Hurricane Center predicts that it could be at hurricane status by early Saturday. If it makes landfall as a hurricane, it would be the first to do so since 1871. Forecasters issued a hurricane warning for the island on Friday. Officials and residents prepared for potential impacts including heavy rain and strong winds. Some areas could see up to 25 inches of rain. Shelters have been…

I planned a few days of Bike-Workation this week, but by back decided differently ("Hexenschuss" on the weekend). So today I did a 10km hike and spend 1h reading in the sun. Also nice!

The Two Horsemen, Riding in Formation
Is There Suddenly an Opening for AI and Climate Sense?
BILL MCKIBBEN

Obviously the story of the moment is the sudden, coordinated bout of cold feet in the AI industry, whose leaders expressed support over the weekend for some kind of effort to slow down the pace of their R&D. This is something that’s never happened in the forty years of the climate fight, and so it shouldn’t be dismissed; in fact, it could conceivably pr…

Picture of me and my 3 brothers from a get together this weekend in Edwards Colorado. I’m number two of four boys, currently aged 65,64,63, & 62.
It was a great weekend with the four brothers and our significant others.

I reached chapter 8.12 of the LFS Handbook. Never got this far. Around 6 hours. Faced with the other 67 packages still to go, before even installing anything like a system, I decided to call it a day and close my Tailscale connection. Enough madness in this world. To kick off the weekend I then installed Slackware KDE. Ten minutes.

Wildfire smoke is once again pouring across the United States
following a weekend of new blazes across Canada’s British Columbia.

A total of 11 new fires were reported across that province,

with thousands forced to evacuate near Summerland,
located about 40 miles north of the British Columbia-Washington state border.

The largest fire in this region, called the Bald Range Fire,

Brutal heat wave forecast for western US this weekend #UnitedStates

Brutal heat wave forecast for western US this weekend
A "widespread and significant" heat wave is predicted to bring oppressive temperatures to drought-hit western U.S. states over the weekend, with all-time records at risk of falling, the National Weather Service said Friday.

Can't think of a better way to spend a Friday night than in the company of the Fedi #TOTP posse.
Thanks all, have a joyful and cooler weekend. We'll do this again next time!

There's a suggestion to add a 15mph speed limit to the multi-use path/trails here, and some cyclist complain that 15mph is too slow.
Why don't they just do what car drivers do? When it's 25mph car drivers do 30mph or even 35mph.
So for a 15mph bike speed limit just go 20mph, or maybe up to 22mph and call it day.
(I'm only half serious here. I did go 20mph on my ebike on a trail this weekend but the motor was off and I was going down a huge hill. Otherwise I pretty much keep it 15 or lower.)

Happy #StarTrekDay everyone! I'm not really doing anything special to observe it, although I did visit the Wallops Flight Facility Visitor Center this past weekend and bought a cap, so in the event one considers NASA to be a predecessor of Starfleet, then there's that.

Slow news day, MBL?

Am home alone this weekend so you get to have a 2nd post in my AI Harness design series.
Today we discuss the Agentic Loop: how to write one, how context snowballs quadratically, how "thank you" can cost you multiple MB of traffic, how inefficient the statless protocol is (while also unlocking major capabilities)
We plug a basic tool into the loop and overall make a functional AI assistant with the possibility of outside access in 60 lines of code.

A/I had scale. They managed lots of things, so they could have lots of people working together. This is critical to maintaining secure infrastructure. It simply takes a lot of people to do the work.
You have to be able to patch fast, which means you need someone on a pager able to take work on a weekend. This kind of thing destroys people unless you have at least 4-6 people just on patch duty.
That doesn't count other maintenance, security analysis, customer support, etc. This is a *huge* amount of work.
Tech scales up well, and down poorly. But insurgency becomes the easiest to stop when it's scaled and centralized.
An answer to this problem is "federation." Informal federations, or even formal federations that focus on shared infrastructure and separate management can solve the scaling problem without creating an easy legal target....
