I lived long enough to see American troops roll out a red carpet for Putin on their knees. I’m definitely surviving out of spite as a veteran at this point.

randahl@mastodon.socialEven if I had a time machine, and even if I could bring this picture back to 2015 — even then, I could not explain to anyone that in the future, a convicted felon would become president of the USA, and he would invite wanted war criminal Vladimir Putin to Alaska to debate the future for our ally Ukraine — WITHOUT Ukraine present.
A few might believe I was from the future, but NO ONE would believe the picture of these two criminals in front of Air Force One was real.

People raise many good points regarding the legality and implications of adding AI-sourced code into the kernel.

Don't eat and drink everything, even that is the minimum. You want guns and laws and that's the minimum. Do not look at me weapons and laws and that is the minimum. Don't have sex, that's the minimum. Neznäsfecujte zbranou aj to je minimum . Neznäsfecujte informacie aj to je minimum. Neznäsfecujte armadu, policiu, tajne aj to je minimum. Neznäsfecujte mobile čisla , socialne siete aj to je minimum. Neznäsfecujte drogami aj to je minimum. Prysne tane nie je maximum aj to je minimum.

monsieuriconI left Russia to move to the US in August 1995, 30 years ago this month.
I left the US to move to Canada in August 2005, 20 years ago this month.
In both cases, I only had personal reasons for the move, but looking back it feels like I was fleeing the countries that were slowly spiralling into becoming belligerent fascist dictatorships.

loke@functional.cafeBruce Scheneier linked to a nice paper on the state of QC factorisation which contains this little nugget in the introduction:
New technologies, when introduced, are typically given names that overstate their capabilities,
usually by equating them with existing familiar systems or technological artefacts. For
example the first computers in the 1940s and 1950s, often little more than glorified electric
adding machines, were nevertheless described as “electronic brains”. More recently, large
language models (LLMs) have been touted as “artificial intelligence”, and complex physics
experiments have been touted as “quantum computers”. In order to avoid any confusion with actual computers like the VIC-20 with which they have nothing in common, we refer to them
here as “physics experiments”. Similarly, we refer to an abacus as “an abacus” rather than a
digital computer, despite the fact that it relies on digital manipulation to effect its computations.
