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.
artFloraFriends, asking for accounts on Mastodon or organizations that are about low vision resources. I am losing my sight (not from macular degeneration) and want to connect with others like me. It's pretty devastating for someone who's been an artist and photographer all my life, but accessibillity options are greatly improving. Currently using Zoom, Magnify and VoiceOver on the iphone. Looking for connection and inspiration and your well wishes too! #lowvision #accessibility
Stefan SperlingJust 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.
Alex SchroederI just saw that my employer is looking for a German-speaking “ICT System Engineer Linux (all genders)” here in Zurich, Switzerland. #FediHire

Tom Lyon ✅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?
Siguza@cynicalsecurity if this analysis from before the release is to believed, then that point has long been reached: https://www.flyingpenguin.com/the-boy-that-cried-mythos-verification-is-collapsing-trust-in-anthropic/
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)?
Miod VallatHere is your last #OpenBSD story before the summer break: that one time OpenSSH was used in a supply-chain attack, before that expression was even coined.
