I'm reminded of Ken Thompson's paper, Reflections on Trusting Trust.

I don't know where I'm going with this, other than having to consider the ever increasing need to manage security risks.

I was lucky to receive an advance copy of this book, and all I can say is if you’re a sci-fi fan, put this on your calendar for May when it comes out!

What you’ll get: religion, politics, suspension pods, onions.

(Set in Leckie’s Imperial Radch universe, but standalone - no prior reading needed)

LOVING the Skylight Social app for Bluesky.

It's amazing, like the best of a Twitter and TikTok and IG feed all in one. This is how social media should be!! 😭

this Markdown file could have been a shell script.

You sweat in your basement for years writing a book, working that nobody will ever read it - or that they will think you are a complete raving idiot, but then you read an astonishing, soul-warming, got-everything review like this and suddenly you feel like your whole life is not actually a waste.

Olaf: Bringing an Animated Character to Life in the Physical World YouTube video by DisneyResearchHub

This is pretty amazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L8O...

If/when we finally get something like domestic robots, I wonder if companies like Disney will have an outsize role in figuring out how to make their appearance acceptable (something the various humanoid robot companies seem mediocre at)

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera.

This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw.

But it's not very far off.

Intel® Wireless Solutions - Wireless Products and Wi-Fi Technology Intel® Wireless Solutions offer advanced wireless technology to provide high-performance and reliability for consumers and businesses of all sizes.

Save yourself some frustration: before you buy, check the specs on www.intel.com/content/www/... and make sure the system interface matches your motherboard.

On Windows, after installing the Intel drivers, the Bluetooth device may be recognized but fail to start with a code 10, STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE. The Wi-Fi may appear as "Network Adapter" in device manager with no drivers.

On Linux, incompatibility between a motherboard and a BE201 card may manifest in dmesg output as a failure to load firmware, iwlwifi-so-a0-fm-c0-89.ucode for Wi-Fi and ibt-1040-0291.sfi for Bluetooth.

If you've bought a Intel BE201 (AX411 AX211 AX203 AX101 AX201) M.2 card and nothing is working, the culprit may be "Connectivity Integrated (CNVi)". CNVi cards contain only the radio frequency (RF) chip and depends on the chipset and processor for the rest of the functionality.

Considering an upgrade to your computer's Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with an Intel wireless M.2 2230 module? Be sure to check to ensure system interface compatibility with your motherboard first! #PCBuilding #Troubleshooting #WiFi #Bluetooth

Etymology in science usually stops at just photosynthesis, but I use it almost every single lesson.

Here are a few stories of some of my lessons and the impact teaching etymology has made on pupil understanding and literacy.
