I've been using this #tool for years, but I think more people should know about it.

It makes it easy to find a #LaTeX symbol in a few seconds!

My partner surprised me with an advent calendar and I can't stop laughing 😂

ISC Diary: @malware_traffic reviews recent wave of #Qakbot using .vhd (virtual hard disk) images https://i5c.us/d29294

This was my pinned tweet on that other site. One of my favorite GIFs; figured it should get some airtime over here.

Mastodon will break 8 million users by tomorrow!

7,925,283 accounts are active.

>2,000 new accounts are being made every hour.

That's 1 million new accounts being made since a week and a half ago.

So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you.

I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't.

@malte @nova can we guess from this diagram, when the new servers took over?

About one year of every #systems PhD is dedicated to learning -- the hard way -- to enable TCP_NODELAY.

After a couple notable incidents of this, I wrote "IT'S ALWAYS THE NAGLE ALGORITHM" in large letters on the UW systems lab's whiteboard to serve as a warning to others.

#chatgpt is helping me update this warning for a modern audience. Or a 19th-century one.

Human chess: https://humanchess.abcd.party/ chess variant where playing the top engine move is forbidden.

"Players can claim their opponent’s last move was a top engine move.
Claims are settled by engine evaluation of the position. If opponent’s move matches the top engine move, the claimant wins the game - if not, they immediately loose.

Checkmating loses the game, (always top engine move). Instead, players seek to force their opponent to make a top engine move. "

The navigation cameras on the Mars Curiosity Rover never fail to deliver a beautiful scene. I commanded these on Monday, they executed on Tuesday, and we get to enjoy them on Wednesday ☺️

I never got on with the Garageband interface but I have to say it's invaluable for throwing down ideas that wake you up at 4am. Much better then jotting down notes: "What the hell did I mean by 'ba da bum bum da bum'"

I worked at USC when the Tusk video was being filmed there. Could occasionally hear bits echoing. Had no idea it was Fleetwood Mac at the time.

You know the "Configuration Register" on #cisco systems? "config-register 0x2102" and all? This is what it looked like on Cisco's first routers - that set of jumpers to the left on the top board is confreg:

BREAKING: The European Union has reportedly warned Elon Musk that Twitter could be BANNED in Europe unless the platform abides by the EU’s strict rules on content moderation.

That sounds significant. #Twitter

“ Continuous-time neural networks are a class of machine learning systems that can tackle representation learning on spatiotemporal decision-making tasks [...] Here, we show that it is possible to closely approximate the interaction between neurons and synapses—the building blocks of natural and artificial neural networks—constructed by liquid time-constant networks efficiently in closed form”
