Maybe the algorithm isn’t broken — maybe we are.
Here's to making things slower, kinder, and a little more human.

My office today is next to #linesmen in the #UK who are maintaining a transformer. They have a really impressive method of getting tools and other items to the bucket lift with just a rope, even just a smartphone on its own in no additional box or bucket. Rope somehow fancily wrapped around it and then pulled up to the bucket lift.

I need to be here to look after a cabinet and generator powering it while the electric network works are performed.

A photograph taken from a hill above a rural setting. Looking down upon two linesmen power maintenance vans. One of which has a bucket lift. The scene is very grassy and green, the trees all have green leaves.

I rarely splice sitting on the ground but this afternoon I didn't feel like carrying the table to the chamber.

A photograph taken by someone sitting on the ground, in front of them is a fibre splicing machine with an orange lid. Behind that device is the fibre enclosure with many trays of fibre. To the right is a fibre cleaver and the splicing map. On the left is the lid of the fibre enclosure. Behind all of that is a wooden bar fence and far in the distance are trees and blue sky.

And to follow up.. Tuesday evening (not quite such a late one).

A photo of several large fields dropping slightly revealing a hill in the distance. Blue sky and green grass is abundant.
Bottom right of the shot is a chamber lid with some fibre equipment on the top. Orange tubes come from the equipment.

Worked into the early evening .. but got to see this from my work site.

A wooden table in a large field surrounded by forest. A golden sunset is in the sky. Some work equipment is on the table.

US Southern District Court (New York) has dismissed a copyright case against OpenAI brought by publishers Raw Story and AltNet. The judge indicated an amended complaint from the publishers could be allowed.

Ruling decision is summarized on pages 8-9 in this post (PDF). https://regmedia.co.uk/2024/11/08/openaicopyrightdismissal.pdf #AI #lawsuit #OpenAI #ChatGPT #SDNY #copyright #AItraining #rawstory #altnet

If you'd like to hear me waffle for 45 minutes about how The Internet gets from your house to your local exchange/altnet, now you can! I gave this talk at #emfcamp2024 and now it's online for your viewing pleasure. https://media.ccc.de/v/emf2024-305-the-last-miles-of-the-internet

I notice that #CityFibre have a post code checker on their website (which gives varying results for different addresses in my postcode). They're digging all around our area at the moment.

Has anyone scraped the data and built a map so I can see at a glance what state different locations are in, rather than having to enter loads of different addresses?

#ISP #altNet

@andypiper @alung If it’s an #Altnet, yes, I believe those cables can’t be reused by other providers. If it’s #OpenReach, that can be used by any ISP.

A Gigabyte capable network? Ah, they must mean 125Mb/s. #altnet #networking

Altnet notice on a telegraph pole from IX Wireless. "Important Notice. A Next Generation Gigabyte Capable Network's Coming..."

What I really miss, is conferences like #ML4ALL #NodePDX and #DotNetFringe. Also the open spaces style events in the agile community were pretty top, along with #ALTNET.

Is anybody putting together confs like that anymore?

In a move that would trooli surprise no-one if it happened, are we beginning to see the consolidation of the major #altnet companies in the UK begin?
