ALL people have the right to exist.
Seeing usually smart folks getting rope-a-doped into arguing for LLM utility like there's a moral justice zero-sum trolley-problem slider between "useful" and "ethical" and we're just arguing about the best setting
But the real problem is even dumber
-is its mere use a climate disaster? Yes
-is its data provenance founded on theft? Also yes
-will it be used to ruin ordinary workers' lives? Yup
-will it ruin countless organizations who think they're buying their way to cheap labor? That too
TIL, https://github.com/x-stp/rxtls is a much less casual implementation for folks who want to process all things!

"Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on."
Something to chew on, this Pride month:
As a cis and/or hetero person, you don't have to understand how it feels to be gay, pan, or ace, to be trans, enby, genderfluid or any other identity or orientation. You don't need to intellectually "get" it. It doesn't have to make sense to you.
There's nothing more to it than taking people's word for how they feel, and standing alongside them, as they simply live their lives as themselves.
Much love :BetterPrideHeart:
@kwf possibly a stupid question, but how do you get away with not having siding on your shed for almost a full year? Has it not rained at all?

Nothing quite like eight ornery Aussies in the audience chorusing “that’s a comment what’s the question mate” under their breaths at a talk. It’s giving me life 🤩😅🤣✨
@azonenberg of course.
Two winners of the RP2350 Hacking Challenge will present their results at WOOT!
Muench et al. break its secure boot guarantees through voltage, electromagnetic, and laser fault injection 💥 techniques: https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot25/presentation/muench
Zonenberg et al. extract its one-time programmable memory through passive voltage contrast 🔬 using a focused ion beam ⚡: https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot25/presentation/zonenberg
@azonenberg surprised your control plane would need 10Gbps throughput. 😅
@azonenberg implementing 802.1x-2010 macsec?
@eternalyperplxed because they didn’t realise it was possible to do it without? A la sniproxy_rs, haproxy, etc

In reading an important discussion of the IP assignment in the new Mastodon.social ToS:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/35086
I was GOBSMACKED to discover the new ToS has a "binding arbitration waiver," which takes away your right to sue, no matter how badly the service abuses you.
These are profoundly unethical, terrible clauses. They should never, ever appear in "adhesion contracts" (that is, contracts that you merely click through, rather than negotiating.)
Long before the internet, some phone networks were hackable by playing a single tone at 2600Hz.
Whistled into a phone, it could grant you unrestricted access. Do you have the vocal chops to be an old-school phone phreak?
I built a web app to test your ability to produce the legendary frequency. You won't get free long distance calls but you will get some honor in the knowledge that you could have been a cool hacker. 😎
I am sad to say that I can only whistle up to 1100Hz... But my wife (a long time woodwind player) is able to consistently get it.

@mainframed767 @hacks4pancakes your winters are dreary? Come to South Africa! 😜
The only difference between breaking something and a teardown is taking photos 😁
Why everyone should read books.
