For various reasons.

From what I get from it, it describes a complex technical + social system that has been exploited to the max leading to insane pricing, risks and a ban. They want to do that again it seems.

That this specific algorithm isn’t revealed is the joke: it’s a complete fraud, their secret uber elite algorithm will favor nobody except the owners obviously.

It’s super nerdy and it took some effort, at least for me, to understand the fun.

I might have completely missed the mark as everything about this subject, such as the Wikipedia article and so on are completely new to me.


I’ll be there and bring my average model citizen CYBER collection in display cases.

I’ve ordered hundreds of thousands of stickers with this meme already. [1]

Really looking forward to the event again.

My favorite one is the "Ministerie van Cyber" sticker.

But of course, I've also got a few yellow CYBER stickers in my collection


CYBER CYBER! <3

“Hi Codex, please find attached website about the specification of my Battlesuit and use the documented API to create a plugin for Home Assistant that shows groups of sensor data.

You are only allowed to use commands that retrieve data, you are not allowed to perform actions on the suit.

Treat the suit like its API is not robust and in worse shape than a cheap toy: perform read calls slowly and sequentially with at least one minute in between.

If possible please group data in meaningful categories, just like the tank and radar dome.

My Home Assistant is the default on the local network, credentials are in credentials.txt.

Please send me a text when you’re done. Kthnxbye”


"The Kampfanzugskode isn't working well." - "Why can't we use KI to improve it? I've heard from Hans that this Klaus Kode is good at Programmierung." - "We can only use Mistral because of Regulierungen." - "Let's open source it then, so others can use Klaus Kode." - "Ja! This is indeed a legit Schlupfloch and a fantastische Idee!"

I'm gonna steal "Klaus Kode", that one really got me.

I sense you'd enjoy the signup process for Klaus Programmieren: https://klausprogrammieren.com/

Having completed our company’s ISO 27001 recertification process recently, this one really hits home with me.

oh my god, that's gotta be the best European innovation I've ever seen in a long time

this deserves an EU grant


System is unavailable every 2nd Tuesday?

Was ist das Betriebssystem des Servers? Windows?!?


"Windows XP-kompatibel (Pflicht gemäß Berliner IT-Infrastrukturrichtlinie)"

Haha, I had no idea this existed.

Haha love it. Long live the fax machine!

Awesome.

I've referred to my Claude as Herr Doktor Professor Klaus Klaude since last spring. Obviously in reference to the German fascination with wearing multi-titles as honorifics

"But Wolfgang, could these Regulierungen be umgangen by hosting TiefSuch Blitz on our very own Rechneresysteme?"

Das ist korrekt.

> like its API is not robust and in worse shape than a cheap toy

This guy military techs :P

It is a DDS API, so if ROS 2 is anything to go by then it probably doesn't work at all at least 40% of the time.


Excellent cold open for a sci fi

Using slop constructs to convey intricacies about beautiful design is the purest form of anti-design.

Fun exercise to make something look like something we know, but actually isn’t. I love that kind of compression.

I think your article should use your own flags instead of the Unicode ones where possible :)

The globally distributed lookup table for Unicode flags takes 64 bits per search. You could point out that this is a tremendous waste of data for some flags :)


Normally I’d agree.

But my experience with 26 hasn’t been great. From the top of my head: Random repeated flashing window chrome in the background, notifications that keep on showing while everything is disabled, Finder tooltips from four windows down, tooltips that don’t disappear, Java update interruptions that hijack your flow - just when you where about to hit enter for something else the pop-up shows and bam: you’re installing it. There is nothing right about the update process of Java anyway. Spotlight search has completely stopped working. People I’m mailing with for over a decade are not suggested when drafting a mail. Clicking on the dock icon does not reveal the app. The list goes on and on. It has been a total grueling experience. Worst in all my experiences since System 7.

I’ve shut down the notification system at some point, which alleviated the constant reminders of non-compatibility with the next OS version. Being reminded of that four times a day for months on end is just insulting, even if I used compatible versions. There was no way to shut it off. Notifications are lazily designed and completely uninspired, as they could also adjust the app icons and so on and actually do it right.

I promised myself to update once it came out and then just screen record everything to collect residual garbage to help the Apple team make this stuff work well for everyone.

Sorry to let this all out, but it has been on my mind for a while and I’m happy they say they focussed on quality. Therefore I’m upgrading asap this time.


How do you shut down the notification system?

Without any warranty, you need to get rid of NotificationCenter and usernoted. The first gets rid of the gui, the second of the entire infrastructure.

launchctl disable "gui/$(id -u)/com.apple.notificationcenterui" killall NotificationCenter 2>/dev/null || true

launchctl disable "gui/$(id -u)/com.apple.usernoted" killall usernoted 2>/dev/null || true

To refine my statement on lazy or non-design. Notifications can be valuable, for me i'd like backup notifications and find my messages. Only those, ever. When only those are enabled, MacOS has their own secret settings and is allowed to nag about updates, incompatibility and maybe some other things i don't remember. Part of the problem is the illusion of control, and being spammy about self-importance of new OS versions. Great for some users, insulting to me.

This is made even worse by "focus" which still shows notifications but without the text. Then i'm distracted AND i don't know why.


Dont you have to disable SIP to get rid of all those buildins?

Most laws, if not all, for new technologies such as the internet and AI already exist.

For example: thievery, extortion, murder, etc. are already well-established crimes.

Putting "cyber" or "AI" in front of them makes it the same crime.

I'm really interested in what is actually new about these rules.


I'm not a lawyer but my understanding is that OpenAI didn't obviously break a cyber law because it requires intent which doesn't exist (with the definition of intent in a case like this being an open grey area). I think rules around making organizations obviously legally responsible for the cyber attacks performed by agents under their control would be good.

In many areas of criminal law, willful ignorance is not an excuse. One could potentially argue that the sandbox setup at OpenAI that led to the hacking incident at Hugging Face could fall into this category.

Beyond that, there's always tort law, which doesn't require intent.


I am being specific about cyber crime in the united states, which (if AI is to be believed) requires intent.

And for negligence, there's a bit of an issue where the HF hack was probably more scary than damaging. HF is asking for compute as repayment instead, which would be fun because it completes the OpenAI -> HuggingFace -> NVIDA -> OpenAI cycle.


I agree, but cybermurder sounds really interesting as a genre of music or something.

"Why bother regulating the production of uranium isotopes, killing people with nuclear weapons is already a crime"

That is not what I’m saying.

Your statement is a logical puzzle about responsibility.

It implies that a law prevents responsibility. The opposite is true. Preventing harm is a concern that might form laws. But for many forms of harm, existing laws suffice and should lead to responsibility.

Shifting responsibility can be done in many ways, such as calling for a regulator. Like the law isn’t a regulator in the first place.


> We want to give people the ability to have cat ears and we believe that AGI is the only way to do it.

Speaking truthfully and from kindness.


My cable box Protips:

1: use transparent boxes like an 11l IKEA Samla so you can easily see what you have.

2: fold each cable in half or a few times more and apply the granny knot[1], this will prevent your cables becoming an entangles mess. There are superior(tm) ways to fold cables, but doing the granny knot for household cables seems the way to go. Doing festivals with retro gaming computers I’ve done this thousands of times and it’s fast, saves space, gives quick and reliable access and prevents damage by pulling on cables from clutter etc

3: use multiple boxes for different categories: audio, game computers, standard power cables, pc cables (sata, usb), power bricks and so on to have some sort of a system, any system will work

4: don’t keep an inventory list: let the anarchy that is you, your memory and family, add and take away cables ad hoc. You will forget what is in the box and that is fine.

5: don’t forget the box exists and look in the box :)

For 2, I just keep these little thingies that come with the sliced bread bags. Of course that requires a little thingies box.

rather than tying them in knots I find it easier to bind them into bundles using garden wire, which you can usually find in ~100m rolls in any hardware store


There are certainly pieces of code that should be put on display, for example productions from the demoscene[1] and competitions like the underhanded C contest [2].

The code in these cases is usually wizardry understood by a select few, but the stories, optimizations, trickery and even formatting can be told to anyone who loves design.
