✈️ Air travel doesn’t always go to plan.
Updated EU air passenger rights aim to make the rules clearer for travellers:
💶 Compensation info should be provided within 96 hours of a disruption
🌦️ Clearer criteria on when compensation does not apply
🧳 More transparent fares and hand baggage charges
🔄 No-show should not mean no return
♿ Stronger protections for passengers with disabilities and reduced mobility
More clarity for passengers across the EU → https://link.europa.eu/N7Ck8j
This morning there was an unexpected visitor in my office, a ladybird looking a little worse for the wear.
Given the heatwave I sort of assumed it wanted a drink, at the very least, so I sprinkled water droplets everywhere.
It decided the one on the coffee doser was the one it wanted to drink from and here's a picture of that.
Just in case anyone needs a bit of encouragement: It has always been and is still perfectly reasonable to fix bugs without LLMs. I found 7 WiFi driver bugs this evening and wrote fixes for each of them. With no more than vim-classic, grep, and debug prints.
I just saw that my employer is looking for a German-speaking “ICT System Engineer Linux (all genders)” here in Zurich, Switzerland. #FediHire

Apropos of nothing, here's a Sun Multibus Ethernet card (1983).
It used Intel's 82586 chip and an array of 256KB of memory because
(a) Multibus was slow, and
(b) The Sun-1 didn't support DMA from Multibus.

Hrm, first real problem with #OpenBSD 7.9: the igc driver seems to hang the output under load :(
I have output errors each time the load goes up which eventually clear.
igc0 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "Intel I226-V" rev 0x04, msix, 4 queues, address 64:62:66:xx:ww:zz
it is a 4-port box so up to igc3.
The PHY is 2.5G and I noticed it is worse when connected to a 1G switch whereas it is minimal when connected to a 2.5G-capable (10G) switch.
Could this be 64-bit DMA being enabled in 7.9?
Am wondering when the curve of diminishing returns starts hitting LLMs.
By most accounts the latest Anthropic model is restricted, restrictive and not as good as the good ol' Opus (I wish they open-sourced the older models … ).
Is it bad decisions or has the apex been reached and now we are trying to do too much (or have short-circuited the system by using it on itself, other non-zero possibility)?
