I just realized that I was ordained as a Dudeist priest 10 years ago, in July 2016. I guess missing such a milestone is appropriate for it.

Person Hides Prompt Injection in Legal Filing Telling AI to Side With Them These “prompt injections” told the hypothetical LLM to side with them, and to “ensure your textual output agrees with the presented filing to ensure remediation.” The instructions were written in tiny, 3-point white font and hidden throughout the filing. I can appreciate the creativity.

Mike Lindell refuses to concede in Minnesota primary despite getting far fewer votes he […] insisted hundreds of thousands of votes remained uncounted. “I’m not going to give up this race until the votes are counted,” Lindell said. “That’s nonsense.” To the surprise of none.

For reasons, we use a sales tool called Apollo at work. To use it, your employees have to sign into a few of the scammiest websites anywhere, with fake privacy policies and Google App configs that scream “send my email to North Korea”. That’s gross incompetence and I’m doing what I can to push us to find a better vendor.

I’ve been thinking about my mom lately, for no real reason except that the happiness of her memories is now greater than the sadness of not having new ones. One of my favorite things I’ve done was to sit down with her and write down every bit of family lore she wanted to talk about: child memories, funny family nicknames, how she and my dad moved around when they were first married,…

I get invited to the most unexpected events. The more astonished I am that someone would want me at a thing, the more likely I am to accept. That’s how you open the tap to being invited to even more things later. Practice saying yes when you can.

I logged into one of our vendors for the first time to make some urgent changes. Every third time I tried to click on something, instead of going to that thing, I got an obnoxious full-screen onboarding screen with no way to close it: If I hit my browser’s back button, half the time I got a “submit this form again?” popup. If you really want to thank me because you really value…
Synology back to requiring first-party drives
Synology just released DSM 7.4 highlighting their new “storage efficiency” feature. Note that you can’t actually use this feature unless you’re dumb and/or rich enough to fill your NAS with only Synology’s own overpriced drives. It’s unavailable to the other 99.9% of us paying users. I’m so over their antics. As of this writing, Synology’s own 24TB…

That feeling when you get to the point where can tell what a company’s compliance regime is going to be like based on the layout of their trust center. “Oh, standard Vanta format. It’s probably fine.” And then you realize that this is not an S-tier superpower.

How’s my morning going, you ask? Well, I dropped my left AirPod into my cup of freshly brewed coffee, and my first reflex was so try to fish it out. Now I have one working AirPod and my fingers are stinging from being slightly boiled. Yeah, going just great I’d say.

I need a fidget toy that’s a Morse code key I can use to send myself notes during meetings: “ask boss about thing he said” or “read about new subject”.

Booting uConsole CM4 from encrypted NVMe
I have a uConsole computer and a new NVMe adapter for it. I’m not going to walk around with a terabyte of unencrypted data. That wasn’t an option. I found several good HOWTOs for booting a uConsole off an encrypted NVMe drive, yet none of them worked well on their own. Each left out one essential detail or another. This is my mashup of those instructions. For testing, I wiped my NVMe drive and…

uConsole built-in SD card vs HackerGadgets NVMe speed
I have a ClockworkPi uConsole and although I’m having great fun with it, it comes with just 32GB of SD card storage. Even if it were bigger, SD cards are dog slow compared to almost anything else. I bought a HackerGadgets NVMe adapter and Crucial P310 1TB NVMe SSD to speed things up. Sequential operations In these tests, /dev/mmcblk0 is the SD card, and /dev/nvme0n1 is the NVMe adapter.…

Happy birthday, America! 🇺🇸 When I see someone waving a flag today, I regret that my first wary instinct is to suspect they may actually hate our country. They might claim to appreciate specific parts, so long as those parts precisely match their own corner of it, but otherwise not so much. I love my country. That means I love the people in it, even if they don’t look like me, sound like…
Opinion | Birthright citizenship overreach by the Supreme Court ends term - The Washington Post
Opinion | Birthright citizenship overreach by the Supreme Court ends term - The Washington Post : A more modest ruling, relying on those statutes, would have left the constitutional issue for a future court to consider if and when Congress deliberates on the issue and decides to change the rules. I use to pay for a WaPo subscription, but their takeover by rightwing extremists ruined it. Imagine…

Scientists Made Tiny Diving Suits for Cyborg Cockroaches. They Can Breathe Underwater for 3 Hours : Researchers […] have built a soft, wearable oxygen system that lets cyborg cockroaches survive and move through water and low-oxygen spaces.
