Note: if you can read Polish, I recommend following my Polish profile instead (link in table). It includes unique content that doesn't work in English, and I boost all English content there anyway.

Ruh is a typical chestcat. She loves sleeping on my chest, given that either I'm wearing something or I'm covered by a blanket. She won't lie on it if I'm covered by a quilt. However, she doesn't mind lying on a quilt without anyone under it. She doesn't like my lap particularly; I have to lean back enough so she could place her front feet on my belly.

Mr Ek is a lapcat. He would gladly lie on my lap when I'm sitting. If I'm lying down, he also prefers the area of my knees.

Lulu is an universalcat. She will gladly lie down both on my lap, and on my chest. And if my chest is occupied, she's ready to lie down almost on my head, just to have the dominant position.

0 days since my tooth cracked, and I wasn't even eating anything hard. I was honestly hoping that now that my #diabetes is settled the teeth problem are over, but alas. Hopefully it was badly damaged in the past, and just reached its limit now, and it won't be followed by more anytime soon. Now waiting for it to crack completely, and hopefully there will be enough left to rebuild something.

Google Chrome is silently installing a local LLM on your computer that is 4 gigabytes in size. It's done without consent, it's not visible in the settings, and removing it will reinstall it later.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!

Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.

#Python #cryptography library (yes, the one that criticizes everything and everyone) is now vibecoded. Our future is truly bright!

Noticed because apparently "Claude" wrote a test that OOM-ed my system. But hey, #RustLang protects against memory errors, so it's fine to vibecode your security critical components.

Raise MemoryError on Argon2 allocation failure by alex · Pull Request #14782 · pyca/cryptography

Closes #14778. Argon2 derivations that exceed available memory (e.g. when running under mlockall with a low max-locked-memory ulimit, or when given an unreasonably large memory_cost) currently surf...

The coreutils Rust rewrite story is pretty funny.

Coreutils are tools like rm, mv, mkdir, etc. Unlike binutils, this isn't a fertile ground for memory safety bugs. But, the rewrite was completed, and in the spirit of progress, Canonical decided to switch.

But do you know what coreutils are a fertile ground for? Race conditions around file creation, deletion, permission setting, and so on. The original code accounted for decades of hard-learned lessons in that space. The Rust rewrite did not:

PS. I'm not dunking on Rust. It's just that... starting over from scratch has its hidden costs.

Hmm, I wonder how you're supposed to keep that distance when the roofing columns are less than 3 metres apart.

It's on the railway station in #Leszno.

Life finds a way

I don't get why so many people walk around with bared belly. I mean, I get that it makes insulin injections easier, but I've never suspected this many people to be suffering from seasonal diabetes.
