In particular it's a standard response by Fox News addicts, whenever they come up with something Fox told them that's so over the top that people stare at them as if they were insane the response is "he was just joking, you d

Years ago I was very peripherally involved in a large project for which everyone in the trenches, so all the devs working on it, knew it could never work. Heck, even the sales guys could explain, with technical justification, why it wasn&#

I'm drawing a blank on it sorry, it's somewhere in an archive of messages but I can't find the appropriate search term to locate it. However it did turn up a reference to something else, namely this, https://www.c

And anything to do with AI valuation is in la-la-land, so it's not that surprising that a set of made-up values is based on another made-up (or at least erroneous) value.

Concrete recycling is actually a pretty big deal. For most of building history here the standard material to put behind basement walls, retaining walls, and so on, for drainage was crushed scoria. Now it's crushed concrete. Some amo

Whatever they said on the unredacted plans, which had it listed. Storage and ventilation equipment wasn't it? Makes sense for some otherwise-unusable back room. And it wasn't the "sole secret room", a large section of

Technically yes because I saved the messages, which I saw as a fine illustration of the state of the PKI standards mess. However I'd have to figure out which search term to use to locate them again ("X.509" probably won&#x27

Just remember folks, what ICE really stands for is Imperial Command Enforcement, not whatever euphemism the Trump administration claims it is.

That's one advantage of the US' 1950s paper-based approach to everything, or at least as it was 20-odd years ago. As a non-US citizen I opened a bank account with barely any ID (no drivers license or phone number), they gave me a

Yes. The spec is often such a confused mess that even the people who wrote it are surprised by what it requires. One example was when someone on the PKIX list spent some time explaining to X.509 standards people what it was that their own

GROK IS YOUR FRIEND! Grok is happy. Grok is hallucinating. Grok has access to military systems. This will drive you crazy.

Exactly. If I wanted to tap into cables somewhere I'd use a shell company owned by a shell company to buy some nondescript house next to where they run and extend the basement a bit, not have plans on file for my fecking national embas

Man, I knew Trump was a big Putin fan but I didn't think the US would follow Russia that quickly. (This is satire, for the humor-impaired).

It's already been done, without the model being aware of it, see https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.09742 . They also made it think it was Hitler (not MechaHitler, the other guy), and other craziness. It's a relief t

Not only that but if you're not trapped in the Microsoft hell of forced hardware updates there's no reason to move on from what you've got now. My desktop PC is from 2007 and, for what I use it for, not noticeably different

It's still not quite the prerogative state that Putin's kleptocracy or Hitler's Germany were, where the Dear Leader enjoys jurisdiction over jurisdiction with just enough vestiges of the rule of law left in place for the capi

Nothing can beat the 600 Mercedes for cachet though. Look at the list of owners: Idi Amin, Ceauşescu, Saddam Hussein, F.W.de Klerk, Papa Doc, Mugabe, Brezhnev, Tito, Mao, Kim Il-Sung, Ferdinand Marcos, Deng Xiaoping, Mobutu, Jean-Bédel Bok

I was wondering whether I should post a link to that, but figured the shooting fitted better. There's actually a place (or used to be) somewhere near Silicon Valley where you can take your least favourite piece of IT gear and blast it

Was going to say the same thing, I'm not a big fan of Windows but the printing Just Works. Having read the OPs explanation of why CUPS is the way it is, yeah, now it makes sense. Maybe CUPS needs a Heartbleed-scale problem to motivate

This is why you need a 600 Mercedes, made from lead and asbestos and concrete and VOCs and other stuff, that won't fail under any circumstances.
