If your company uses ProofPoint, I am judging you.

@corsac I know what you mean, but it's easier to just do it that way, in case I also want to pipe things to sort -u in-between or add a few "grep -v" pipes.

micefearboggis@fediscience.orgHey! I’m CEO of a company that has just raised $10 billion for an app that takes the hard work out of enjoying music. Did you know, some people waste hours each day listening to “tunes”. Our AI will listen to it for you and summarise it in a 15 second scream leaving you more time to focus on what's really important in life: adding value.

In the early 2000s the ReactOS team paused development for years; to engage in a project wide audit, under accusations that a developer may have SEEN leaked windows sourcecode.
In the 2020s folks keep insisting it's cool for #FLOSS devs to use AI's trained on random other projects to generate code; when it is known that such AI assistants occasionally reproduce code verbatim, without regard to the original software license. #llm #AI #eliza #generativeAI

The last 5.4.y kernel release has now happened: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2025120319-blip-grime-93e8@gregkh/
Please don't use this branch anymore, it's really old, and pretty obsolete, and has over 1500 unfixed CVEs in it:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/2025120358-skating-outage-7c61@gregkh/
And if you are stuck with that kernel version for some reason, go ask your vendor to fix those 1500+ CVEs, otherwise you are paying for support that doesn't actually do anything for you...

Not an endorsement of Duolingo in general -- it's not really how I learn languages, but it's a useful tool for me to refine and practice my language skills.

Image restoration using AI
Show content
I have a significant collection of old photos from my parents. The quality on them is pretty atrocious -- they were all developed and processed at home in our tiny bathroom and then in my dad's "office" with the windows blocked off and red light on. I still remember using a towel and hand rollers to put the photos onto the metal sheets and clip them onto the heater to give the photos that nice gloss. Anyway, they all had dust, odd exposure effects and other amateur photography damage.
I knew that some SD models are capable of image editing, so I spent a few evenings playing around with restoring damaged photos using ComfyUI and my Nvidia card (no cloud services were used). The results are not too bad, considering I used basic workflows and didn't even get too deep into image masks and targeted prompts. A lot of the charm of the old photos is naturally lost, but I think there's value in doing something like this while I can still tell a bad render, where the person looks nothing like their true self, from a pretty accurate approximation.
Of course, the models are still ethically dubious, because there is no accounting how they were sourced, but I don't feel too terrible when I use them to restore old damaged family photos.

luis_in_brief@social.coopI don't particularly agree but this is a vastly more useful form of protest than, well, a lot of what passes for anti-AI-boycotting these days.

I just found a perfect gift for anyone with trypophobia. Maybe arachnophobia, too.

PSA: My (almost adult now) children are interested in switching to using hyphenated family names of both their parents. It's going to take some effort to update all their legal paperwork, but to support them I'm going to start using the hyphenated family name in that format as well -- at least unofficially. I'm still the same person and you can still just call me "Kay."
(Yes, yes, I know "Ryabitsev-Prime" is a mouthful and sounds like an alien world or a doomsday comet. You're just jealous.)

Did the scouts Morse code activity yesterday, and I think it went pretty well. For the hands-on challenge part of the meeting, each patrol had a lock box with prizes inside, and to find out the combination to the lock they had to decipher three clues that were given to them in morse code.
For this part, I Claude-slopped together a small static page that was preloaded on an iPad that we gave to each patrol. Here's the one we gave to the Alpha patrol:
https://kaoti.ca/morse/alpha.html
It uses flashing lights instead of sounds because patrols worked fairly close together in the same room and the sounds would have been distracting.
The takeaway is that some kids have real trouble telling all-dashes letters from all-dots letters (such as O/--- and S/...) when they don't see/hear them next to each other. This was surprising to me, because I've never really expected anyone to have any trouble with telling those apart, but then I've always had a musical ear.
Sharing this with others in case you want to run a similar activity and want to reuse my idea. Since the app was slopped together, it's in the public domain and you can use any number of online ROT13 translation sites to encode your own messages.
