Good work, #England! What a beautiful public good to have made! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy0dxexdd8xo
If I lived in the UK, I'd begin trying to see if I could walk all the way round the country.

lgtvremote-cli v1.1.1 is out - control your LG TV from the command line.

New in this release:
- lgtv power-status - check if your TV is on/off (great for scripts and automations)

- lgtv livetv - switch to live TV with optional --channel flag

- lgtv channels - list available channels as JSON

- --tv flag now accepts TV names, not just IPs (lgtv --tv "Living Room" off)

Install/upgrade: pip install --upgrade lgtvremote-cli

"The missing piece of the puzzle, however, was how the Sun managed to get past the Milky Way’s central bar—a dense region that cuts across the galaxy and serves as a barrier to moving stars.

To better understand the Sun’s history, the lead authors behind the new studies, Daisuke Taniguchi from Tokyo Metropolitan University and Takuji Tsujimoto from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, used data taken by the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission. By sifting through observations of nearly two million stars, they found 6,594 that were similar to the Sun.

The researchers analyzed the sizes, temperatures, and composition of the solar twins to estimate their ages and noticed a broad peak for stars around 4 to 6 billion years old (including the Sun). The discovery that the Sun, along with its twins, are of similar ages and positioned around the same distance from the center of the Milky Way suggests that the stars were part of a mass migration event."

I implemented the (unratified) Zibi extension: https://github.com/riscv/zibi/releases/tag/v0.6

With LLVM it seems to be worth about 1.2% CoreMark/MHz. The improvements are localised to the list benchmark. Unfortunately no GNU toolchain support for this extension yet.

it is not a good day to be a conscientious user of modern technology, no.

i just read the financial times article (archive) on the use of confabulation machines in war planning, specifically the scope of use in target planning, and it's bad, bad, terribly bad.

even if it is what we suspected anyways, knowing the lack of ethics of the tech companies and the bloodthirstiness of hegseth & al.

there is no hope for this industry.

Wrote some words about my work on 64-bit RISC-V architecture port of Fedora Linux.
