Anyone I know used, “kunkune.co.uk” ?

Seems a bit like a mini-maplin?

Android 14 is going to create some big problems for devs, testers, reverse engineers, researchers, and anybody else who likes being able to debug their HTTP: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/android-14-breaks-system-certificate-installation/

damn. wait til streaming services find out what happens when you're a nonessential service raising prices during a cost of living crisis
I have learned that several Mastodon users accounts are impersonating me to run scams here. They are copying my name and logo. Please note that I will never ask you to join me on Telegram or DM you to send me stuff. These are Twitter-style scams pretending to be me. Report those accounts to server admins and block those users. Stay safe. My account is verified with DNS/HTML meta entries for nixcraft.com/cyberciti.biz. See those green entries on MY profile.
This is as bad as it looks, especially consumed in the wrong order #tinyrebel

The Space Station is Getting Gigabit Internet

Astronauts have been living aboard the International Space Station for over 20 years, helping humanity live in space and communicating their science back to Earth. Unfortunately, their internet bandwidth is pretty slow compared to anything the astronauts would experience back on Earth. But that will change with a new high-speed laser communications system in 2023. There's a relay satellite already in orbit, and now NASA is sending a transmitter/receiver to the ISS, which will beam high-speed data through the laser relay. They should get 1.2 gigabits-per-second transmission speeds.

NASA to Demonstrate Laser Communications from Space Station

In 2023, NASA is sending a technology demonstration known as the Integrated LCRD Low Earth Orbit User Modem and Amplifier Terminal (ILLUMA-T) to the space station. Together, ILLUMA-T and the Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD), which launched in 2021, will complete NASA’s first two-way, end-to-end laser relay system.

In the last month, I did some "AI" experimentation. I used ChatGPT 3.5 and 4 to write some marketing-style LinkedIn posts.

The content they produced was (to me) pretty awesome tbh. It felt a lot better than anything I could write. I posted it to LinkedIn and, really, the response was very lukewarm.

So next I wrote some myself. Now I am not good at this, but I tried to put some words into sentences. The end result did not read as well (to me) and certainly felt less appealing. I posted it to LinkedIn and in general, they got 3-5x as much interaction as a ChatGPT post got.

In addition, this was all pushing towards getting people to book on a course.

The AI posts resulted in HALF the number of signups that the human-generated posts got. Now I get that this could be because the human-generated posts came *after* the AI so might have landed on fertile ground, so I will try more experiments.

But really, *right now*, I think we are still in a world where HUMAN generated content is more popular with other humans. AI-generated content is very attractive to bots though.
