So I’m updating the Kitten documentation, tutorials, videos, etc., in preparation for the major (breaking change) release I’ve been working on for the past few months and, as part of that, I had to set up my streaming/recording setup again as the layout of my room changed and I recorded an updated Kitten Counter video yesterday in which I made every mistake I could in 12 minutes (so I’ll be recording it again). But here it is a a preview (and also to show that no, none of us gets it right th…

Some interesting data on lab power consumption / energy efficiency: shut down the microscope bench workstation yesterday evening while troubleshooting some stuff and left it down overnight.
This is a Xeon 8362, 128GB of RAM, and a (small) nvidia card, for reference.
Looks like it was idling around ~100W, or ~2.5% of my total consumption. Not nothing, but also not huge compared to e.g. the T&M equipment or some of the bigger iron.

Mandatory evacuation orders have been reissued for communities bordering Garden Grove and Stanton California
as emergency crews confront secondary mechanical setbacks at a local industrial facility.
Following an initially successful cooling process yesterday, changing conditions and a damaged tank valve have prompted local agencies to reinstate the evacuation mandate purely as a precautionary measure.

Yesterday I started researching the history of Transmeta and its Crusoe and Efficeon processor technology, namely LongRun and LongRun2. The research will end up in a talk for some future vintage computing events throughout Germany and/or Europe. #vintagecomputing #techhistory

So yesterday was a weird day; had an onsite and while wrangling my access to the building, realized one of my boot heels had come off, so I spent like 20m trying to backtrace where it fell off. Never did find it. 😂

it was a good idea to get a ready-to-eat roasted chicken from the supermarket

I was just reminded of a funny moment in my Year 7 #Mathematics class yesterday. We were covering ratioes, and I didn't hear it, but apparently one of the kids asked what "ratioed" meant.

Seriously, today's Metacurity is going to be totally lit, so please take a look at it when it comes out. I've been writing for three hours, and I've got a lot more to go.
I managed to build into the top three items everything you want to know about yesterday's AI news, and it's just tons of important stuff.

Damn; I went to debug why Model B wouldn't write to floppies and...it worked. Yesterday when I got a scope on the write-data line on the drive end it didn't budge at all. By the time I'd got the beeb open today, moved the keyboard and stuffed a scope probe on the gate between the 8271 and the drive it all got nice friendly data there. Hmm.
Took the IC80 out, gave the legs a rub and a bit of contact cleaner, and hmm ok.

I'm sitting outside with a coffee, amid the garden Mum planted so skilfully, and which I maybe didn't appreciate while she was alive, and the various things we've stuck in pots - walnut, fig, olive etc - and have just ordered a hazel tree and a cherry tree from The Woodland Trust.

I was doing a little research yesterday to figure out why https://jws.social can't follow Threads accounts. It sounds like the problem is how incompletely Threads has implemented ActivityPub.
"GoToSocial is notoriously strict when it comes to ActivityPub standards and HTTP signatures. If a remote server sends back a payload that is even slightly malformed, missing required fields, or has an invalid signature, GoToSocial's parser will immediately drop it to protect your instance."

Another long day at the polls yesterday. Arrived 5:50 am, left at 9:10 pm (polls open 7 to 7). 704 ballots cast at my precinct. Steady all day. I don’t think anyone waited more than 5 minutes to check in.
Unfortunately, GA is one of the very few states that requires runoffs in races where nobody got 50.0001% or more of votes in a given race, so we’ll do this all again in 4 weeks.
Still an important job and I’m happy to do my part.

Yesterday, I ordered a new pair of hemp shoes from 8000kicks.
UPS says they had in in Leiria, Portugal 2 hours ago - and plan to deliver it to me BY END OF DAY. That's about 2000km in less than 12 hours.
I'm not sure if that means I have to clear the field outside our house for landing of a freight plane or a helicopter - or if I just should expect a giant crater.

Nice view yesterday evening.

15 Minnesotans were arrested yesterday for anti-ICE activity. As you're reading the news, remember that the Trump administration has weaponized the Department of Justice.

In yesterday's case, there are notable abnormalities. First, the prosecutor is bringing criminal charges without specifying who or…

I’ve now written two essays this year on the U.K. Labour Party’s errors of strategy, which is not a lot, but is still more than I’d have expected.

Vivaldi is a fine near-drop-in replacement if you want maximum compatibility. It’s what I use for G-Suite stuff whenever I have to use it.
Waterfox is a Firefox fork that strips out the AI nonsense features. I’ve been happy with it.
Firefox itself has problematic leadership these days, but is still better than Chrome.
Safari on Mac (my daily driver) is a lovely browser, lean and blazing fast compared to Chrome, and great privacy features — though it’s still Big Tech if that’s a problem for you.
In short, you have choices!

Yesterday, I took my 20-year-old, non-functioning amplifier to the Repair Café. Tests didn’t seem to indicate any problem, so it looked like a very difficult job – not one that could be sorted out on the spot. But the question, ‘Have you looked up the problem online yourself?’, kept niggling at me.

Where Are the Deaf Children at Aladdin?
Yesterday I sat in the New Amsterdam Theatre for the interpreted performance of Disney's Aladdin. The show was fine. The interpreting was fine. Neither held my attention the way the audience did. It was Scouts Day. The hearing children came dressed as princes and princesses, sashes weighed down with badges, parents fussing over phones and snacks. The aisles filled with the small chaos that always attends a children's matinee.

I made a cake yesterday and it wasn't great, not that good really. It's okay I guess. The issue is that we've had two cakes from Sendik's this month and this one doesn't compare to those.

It also didn't help that I mis-measured when making the frosting and had to then try to make my own powdered sugar.
