For 2025 I think we should just ignore every "AI did this thing" report that does not explicitly state the resource cost (energy/CO2 for training and inference, hardware requirements/e-waste). We just cannot afford burning the planet for technological parlor tricks.

You think automotive engineers ever go “good thing im an automotive engineer because it would be a fucking nightmare to drive this thing if I wasn’t” anyway that’s what working in IT is like

My biggest pet peeve is restaurants/gigs/events or venues of any kind which have a social media page instead of a website. I don't have fucking instagram, so I literally can't see your menu/lineup? Even if I had instagram, it's an entirely inaccessible format so would be fucking useless? These platforms are for promotion, not for hosting vital information.

@andrewbriscoe Looking forward to a trip report! I'm planing on hiking that section in the next few weeks.

@StarlingW Sounds like it could be bark beetles, the droughts and higher temperatures mean that the beetles are killing trees that would normally be fine.

@jmackles Heads up for anyone wanting to do this trail, there are 2 routes, this is the old one, the new route covers the same elevation to the same summit in about twice the distance and is much easier.

Heh, my first ever YouTube finger-wag. I mean, I get it... the lyrics of this song are not exactly safe for work. 😂

Since @defcon is right around the corner, however, I'll say that the video of our band playing this is worth a watch...

... note: that video is made up entirely of photos from ten years ago at con, so there's a very non-zero number of beloved friends whom we all now miss very much.

Dan, Tuna, Roamer, Rance... just to name a few.

Love you all, miss you all. 💔
