My WordPress site froze solid, and the real cause turned out to be quieter and stranger than I expected.

Heatwave day five? Temperatures were still pretty high and the house has definitely not cooled down yet, so yeah, I reckon so. But it has been overcast and breezy for most of today, and as I'm writing this a rain shower occurred, so we're definitely nearly done. For now, anyway. Forecast shows 30°c on Monday—week. Yay.

Nikon Z8 • 500mm • ƒ/13 • 1/500s Ran out of time today due to errands and honey-dos. Made it out to the backyard before sunset and tried to get some good motion-blur shots of some palm trees, but I wasn’t happy with the results. I got what I got. Off to work on a four-day trip tomorrow. It’s always hard to leave home… Figuring out Darktable is in the queue. Reading this site gives me some hope.…

I could feel myself getting an itch to make bangles. I wanted skinny bangles that could be stacked. My preferred method for bangles is to use 16-gauge wire cut straight from the coil, it is usually just the right size. I curl one end into a loop thread the beads on, loop the other end and join with a jump ring, usually with a charm of some kind…

§ The return trip from Chicago was even more uneventful than the drive there. Caroline and I feel emboldened to do more traveling with the baby in the near future. § On Monday we picked up a nice pair of new (to us) couches to replace our previous set that was older than we are. It’s a genuinely dramatic upgrade. § The neighborhood lightning bugs have finally emerged and little by little…

Star Fox is back! Again. And this time, people, for the most part, actually seem to like it. This is more than can be said for the past attempt to bring it back -- which, for the record, I still feel was vastly underrated and completely misunderstood. The most common criticism that has been going...

I need space from him, she says, taking a step back and pinning her hand under her chin as she cranes her neck up to examine the painting.

Photo by Dadi Prayoga on Unsplash I'm way behind on email. Thousands of them. I just skim until something catches my eye — and most of it doesn't. But one showed up recently that made me stop: Blu-ray turned 20 this year. And my first thought wasn't "happy birthday." It was: when did I last actually use mine? I had to think about it. A while. A long while. At some point streaming just became the…

A small, federated compute co-op called co/core — and the wider experiment it's a part of.

Somehow @bunniesin.space managed to perfectly summarize why microblogging isn't for me, and why I think it does more bad than good overall.

Aliens exist. At least, they do for Steven Spielberg. This has remained constant across a career defined by restless movement. Spielberg has spent 60 years making films about different subjects, and just as long returning to the same questions.  This fascination reaches back to 1964 in Phoenix, Arizona, when Firelight, Spielberg’s largely lost amateur debut, screened once to a few hundred locals.…

Today is the day I take a look into using ATProtocol as a (micro) blogging platform. This should be attached to my Bluesky account automatically. I'm also going to play around with .app, , and I'm setting this as a page, not sure what that means yet. Off we go.

Makerspace + book pairings for young readers and makers

Das war eine kurze Etappe auf unserer Reise. Der Weg führt uns nur über die schöne Dokkumer Ie nach Dokkum. Dort kamen wir gegen Mittag an und haben einen schönen Liegeplatz zwischen den Mühlen bekommen. Wir entschlossen uns, die Fahrerei für den Tag einzustellen und ein wenig durch das schöne Dokkum zu laufen. Etwas essen,...

I've watched every second Keaton Wagler played for Illinois this season. Here is what you need to know about the LA Clippers' first-round draft pick.

A learning Rust blog series - the intro

AI coding is creating a new generation of makers: "it’s been heartening seeing people reverse engineer things and build weird little things that they never would have done before. I guess they’d be scrolling TikTok instead." Anything to stay away from TikTok is a win for humankind.

The newest thing that one should be using is Standard.site, a shared lexicon for long-form publishing on AT Protocol, making content easier to discover, index, and move across the ATmosphere. Sounds cool, right? Wasn't as easy as I thought it might be.

In The Detection Inversion, I argued that better RLHF training makes safety harder to verify. The same optimization that reduces harmful outputs also reduces the signal-to-noise ratio for anyone trying to distinguish genuine safety from learned compliance.

That's the theoretical problem. This post is about the operational one: if detection gets harder over time, what does that mean for the…

i saw myself in the mirror of the laundromat washing machine and i didn't know what i was supposed to think. for a second the world paused as i tried to process this moment. or really the moments of the past year. it's been almost 7 months of constant changes and i don't know how to process any of it. on paper everything sounds perfect, it's what little me always wanted. i finally make six…

Just the usual obligatory first post where I totally could've just pasted some Lorem Ipsum but didn't because, well, I can Lorem my own Ipsum just fine.
