No, that's not hell yet. The boss in this case knows their own limitations and asks the technical person to help. True hell is when the boss thinks AI most be more knowing than the…

Fable has a 'security system' that just stops it when it tries to use the tool 'kill' to end a process. Which is nonsense and funny because in that situation it immediately invents…

The Internet was originally designed to survive a nuclear war. Now we downgraded it deliberately to not survive a football game. Decentralised infrastructure: good Centralised infr…

Stay away fron Lasius! Lasius cinedus

Allowing scripting on websites (in the mid-90s) was a completely wrong decision. And an outrage. Programs are downloaded to my computer and executed without me being able to review…

Reform idea: We should decouple the publishing of papers from academic careers completely. Papers can't generate any reputation or money for the authors anymore. To achieve that, w…

In a normal and sane world, a scientist is a nerd about their field. They are highly interested in new thoughts and insights. When a new paper in their field is published, they try…

Could they hunt down the werewolf wizard and defeat him or not?? I need to know how this ended.

The question is: did the fake numbers make any difference? Were the management decisions based on them better or worse?

Bad grammar is disrespect. Underlings have to swallow that disrespect. It is just a power game. The next level is simply to insult everyone, and everyone will still remain submissi…

I love that Mark Qvist publishes his strong opinion, view of the world, and goals. It quite smells like the hacker spirit of the 80s, mixed with a little spiritualism and anarchism…

I took a deeper dive in Reticulum-rs. It is std. It implements 20% of Reticulum functionality. And it has 2 major protocol incompatibilities (like a different size for the MTU / Ma…

Reticulum is a production-ready full network stack. Cryptography and anonymity are first-class citizens there. It is transport-layer agnostic, not just tailored for LoRa. I like it…

Mark's Reticulum implementation has a strong ideolgical background. Not just the oppositon to AI. If anybody is interested in what drives the developer, here's the manifesto: https…

Did you use it? I've never seen it used outside of Beechat's own devices.

Reticulum is a full network stack with full user anonymity. You can integrate it in every app that needs P2P network connections and that can live with a slow connection. Reticulum…

A Yggdrasil link is an IP tunnel. Reticulum has its own network protocol instead of IP because IP would not work well over slow and low-bandwidth connections. I think tunneling IP …

The Internet got its death blow in the Eternal September 1994. But it was a long death struggle, bleeding out drop by drop. Who remembers that people had to learn netiquette before…

You can hide the position of the cables from fishermen and the public. But if someone knows where they are, it is the KGB, I mean, FSB. We should make information about infrastruct…
