Last Notes npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks I'm now thinking I will shut down this account in favor of @nprofile…m7uu at some unspecified point in the future. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks I'm not going to do anything permanent yet, but my current feeling is that I might move to @nprofile…m7uu permanently. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "As OpenClaw Enthusiasm Grips China, Kids and Retirees Alike Raise 'Lobsters'" npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks Attached is a screenshot from Digg, describing their modern problems. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…7l00 sounds like one should work then.

When I see them on eBay etc now they don't look very competitive to new mini PCS. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…7l00 there are two conventional ways to run home assistant. They are as a docker container and as a prepackaged OS. I actually also tried beating myself up installing it as an app. I retrenched on that and went with the OS solution. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "Yann LeCun’s AMI Labs raises $1.03 billion to build world models" npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "Tom's Hardware: Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant" npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks This little old Chromebox soldiers on, running Home Assistant OS 7x24. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "Unpowered SSD data retention test shows promising results after six years — results show no data corruption on USB sticks, challenging conventional wisdom" npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks If somebody is leaking a secret plan to go get the enriched uranium, that person really doesn't want it to happen, because like it's not secret anymore? npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks They are bright, thoughtful, moral people in every nation. But for some reason, people don't always want them as their leaders. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks I drove a Prius for ten years. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks Sadly, npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…662a I'm in LA, and I know that on PST, solar noon falls very close to 12:00* npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks You don't often see a chart break from its routine like this. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks I'm just fooling around in retirement, and not in any rush, so I've fallen into the pattern of asking the AI to "write me a golang function to .." npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…gck9 it's an interesting product and I don't fault it at all, but I think it does differentiate itself from netbooks with the 256 or 512 gb of local storage. Unless you are going to mirror all that to the cloud (perhaps they would love it if you did) it's not really a netbook. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…eqsh I might have mentioned that I got a more base model pizza oven for Christmas. I can see wanting to know the floor temperature but I'm not the kind of guy that would spend big to get it. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…eqsh poor boat didn't deserve that 😭 npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks I might trade in my 60 MPG hybrid for a less efficient gasoline car. Oil burner. I think that's a surprising evolution on my part. But I will claim it's not as bad as it could be. I figure I'm old, I don't drive much, I should enjoy stick shifts as long as I can. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks A Macintosh notebook for $599 is really interesting. It will be even more interesting if Microcenter can cut that further. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks Donald Knuth: npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks There was a black widow in the mailbox. I brought it into the house accidentally. I poked it with a piece of paper cuz I thought it was dead. Just playing dead rather than fight me. It tries to walk away. Feel like I dodged a bullet on that one. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks It's not a coincidence that these are the same people who want to destroy the department of education, and of course "don't send your kids to college." npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks Religious fundamentalism is not just a problem in the Middle East. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…dsx7 I got one too, blocked npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…3qfc This is just my feeling, based on the political dynamics of this whole thing, but I think the California law was invented, and as simple as it is, because it's trying to forestall things much worse. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks Me two days ago, on our current situation: npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks If you believe as I do, that Trump's election was somehow an endgame of a right-wing movement that had run out of rational policies, and was forced into irrational ones .. when it's tragic but not unexpected that we get repeated irrational policies one after the other. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…rh3e @nprofile…zeh9 I am surprised. I saw that post. I thought it fell in the category of things I might not have said, but I have to acknowledge are legitimate criticisms. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…4eg4 I was dealing with an old line mutual fund company that only does things by mail. It's kind of quaint but I'd rather we were Denmark. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "Lenovo shows laptop with removable screen, keyboard, ports" npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks Federal: npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "I have a script in my bin directory called projj_diff.

Somehow it might be connected to Daniel Kahneman and the idea of Thinking, Fast and Slow. Possibly, and I'm just spitballin' here, there is something about the times and the new media that encourage thinking fast .. and some people (esp in the US government right now) seem to be leaving off thinking slow completely. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks Me: npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks I killed Gemini by asking it to generate a tutorial. It's funny that it can do podcasts etc but not that. I guess it's just the focus of the developers. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks Not going to comment on the wars. Sorry world. Seriously. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks In the 1980s we might have dreamt of vast computerized libraries, summations of human knowledge, undreamed of in pre-digital times. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…eqsh it's kind of interesting that the top bracket is 18 plus. Presumably that means you are old enough to assert specifically that you are 21 plus where that is illegally required. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…eqsh you and I probably only produce G-rated content .. okay maybe my language online has gotten PG now and then. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks California Assembly Bill No. 1043, which requires operating systems to record a user 's birth date, but to only share "age brackets" with third parties is .. not so bad. It might even be close to ideal, and something that would have been good to have in place 20-30 years ago. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks My mom got this 600 page behemoth of an interior design catalog in the mail. I swear, every single page, every item, every interior, some color of beige. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks If I have that annoying bot that polices YouTube posts for privacy blocked, why is it so responding to me? npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks Mitchell Hashimoto’s new way of writing code npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks I understand the the reluctance to work with this department of de.. oh yeah.. department of war. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…ea8r haha, now that's a collection! npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…ea8r I have that too, but I've been considering it my not too serious and occasional extra backup.

I lean toward Jack being a bit out there, not grounded in business operations, but .. if anything it might be a sign that people are going to try stuff like this, results very much tbd. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…vfnv it's funny for me when I pay at the federal first and then switch over to the state of California. The feds are all about locking down your identity 1000% before you make a payment. California is like, you want to pay for that social security number? fine thanks done. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks I have dabbled with markdown and second brain type stuff. I never got that into it. What do I have, maybe 20 markdown files. First I used obsidian, then I used silverbullet. Both are great, and neither one failed me, they were just a bit heavy for my use. Or my months of inactivity. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "The big news today is that AMD and Meta announced a massive expansion of their strategic partnership to deploy 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs." npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "Google announced Tuesday that it will build a data center in Minnesota that’s backed by 1.9 gigawatts of clean power, including a massive 300-megawatt battery made by startup Form Energy." npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "Information wants to be free" (1980s) npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks I follow how-to-geek by rss, and I am often amused by its mix of useful and trashy (still tech) content. I was curious about who owns it and what their deal is. Apparently it is a company called valnet which has had some criticism: npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks @nprofile…46k4 I actually did have an earlier model Subaru WRX. It was probably 2002 or so. I ran it pretty hard and it never had any problems. I didn't keep it for a super long time though.

Maybe fewer are now, when more distractions are offered. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "Stop using your car's USB port to charge your phone" npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks "Hilary Allen on Fintech Dystopia" npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks Having an AI assistant has definitely made me less lazy on my small projects.

A reduction to 10% is a big reduction. npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks So .. isn't a global tariff on all countries (1) a reduction in some/many cases and (2) possibly an improvement? npub163we0g00nyat7zhrjlkt7sgrc2cz7rj96tk3fsktzm5esks5q7aq7dtay5 John Socks If it is a UFO, it is not an alien.
