"What, then, of this sneering claim advanced by the hecklers, by the detractors of philosophy and the enemies of wisdom, mere boys all of them, what of this claim they shout, that brevity is the soul of wit? This is my reply to them, if only they will fall silent long enough to hear: the purpose […]

Somehow, in spite of the usually-contentious nature of FidoNet's sysop culture, this rational and talented person did all sorts of great things, like writing succinct histories and (gasp) heading up the definition and specification of the protocols in an RFC type format. Somehow also, he was […]

Today's computer rabbit hole that I successfully escaped from:

I read that the newest Chrome version has JPEG XL support. (Safari has had it for years, Firefox has support for it, but it's disabled by default by way of `image.jxl.enabled` defaulting to `false`). And I stumbled upon the JPEG XL […]

Remember when cell phones became readily available to the masses? As a society, we sort of lost the capability of remembering phone numbers, as we didn't need to do that anymore. So with all of this readily available LLM stuff now... are we going to lose the ability to think?

If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.
