Getting ill while still relatively young teaches you your sheer biological contingency.
There is no you but for the physiological life processes "under you," working as they should.
And everything you think, feel & do arises like spirit from that biology like steam from water
I want to understand the code in my main project.
If I ask AI to make a big change on a branch it's often like jumping way ahead of my own understanding of programming. It bends the brain & it's stressful
Sometimes it's great for learning, sometimes it's horrible for it.
Status awareness hovers like a spectre over all human relating outside of close relationships (and it even makes appearances there too).
It's so weird. It's a lens we can't help but perceive through.
And we all know what to say when we first meet people to demonstrate our own.
I remember watching a new report by Nicholas Witchell about "global warming" in the 80s when I was 7 years old or something. I sat on my mum's couch for hours on end worrying about it.

it might sound pretty hippie, but BEING HERE NOW is the closest thing to a purification of all space-time-karma i've found. relax, breathe, ground, let go, be present, allow, surrender trust… be present like this moment is an eternity, the best story ever told, and eventually U will find God
Reaching some sort of tech tinkering AI psychotic event horizon over here.
Would love to showcase everything I've been playing with but who's gonna care. We're all tinkerers now. Everything's general. There's no edge.
These are scam ads. They go to a copied channel of DOAC, ripping off the videos...

When you spend a lot of time with people in the real world and people who run real real companies or do real jobs.
You see that Almost Everything people write on here is preposterous

🚨 BREAKING: LINUX IS NOW FACING TWO CRITICAL SECURITY VULNERABILITIES, AND THERE ARE NO OFFICIAL KERNEL FIXES YET.
Both rated 9.0/10 in severity.
One could allow hackers to take control of vulnerable servers WITHOUT EVEN LOGGING IN.
And the most alarming part? The flaws were made PUBLIC before patches were ready.
Here's what's happening:
→ TWO CRITICAL RCE FLAWS: Both affect KSMBD, Linux's built-in SMB file server.
→ NO PASSWORD REQUIRED: One vulnerability could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute malicious code on vulnerable servers.
→ KERNEL-LEVEL ACCESS: Successful exploitation could potentially give attackers control within the Linux kernel itself.
→ NO MAINLINE PATCH YET: Both vulnerabilities were publicly disclosed before official kernel fixes were available.
→ DISCOVERED BY AI: Trend Micro's AI-powered security scanner identified the flaws.
→ SERVERS AT RISK: Linux systems running the vulnerable KSMBD service need immediate attention, especially if port 445 is exposed.
First PHP. Then Node.js. Then GitLab. Then Python.
NOW LINUX.
And this time, the vulnerabilities are PUBLIC before the fixes are ready.
If you manage Linux servers, CHECK YOUR EXPOSURE NOW.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
KSMBD is a rarely used optional in-kernel SMB server distinct from the common Samba implementation; it is not enabled or shipped by default on major distributions like RHEL, and the flaws affect only systems explicitly running it with port 445 exposed.

Example of my Hermes agent capturing and curating content I'm interested in.
I shared this quote tweeted tweet to my "Excerpt Anywhere" app. Gave my agent the instructions in the input box in it.
Second attachment: the result I found later in obsidian.
I'm either massively ignorant, or this PHP (and other hacks) thing is being heavily seized upon as another "oooh excited doomery thing related to AI that will *definitely* get engagement" thing...

Okay, so I’ve seen “NAZA”. It was well worth the modest effort. It is a beautifully made film, starring Tel Aviv as a nightmarish non-place, also featuring a series of men talking in the dark. Did I cry? Yes, just once, when a distraught father was trying to extricate his children from under the rubble of their home, at no little risk to himself, but that is the sort of thing we see posted on X every day. For most of the film, what throbbed through my head was “the banality of evil” (Hannah Arendt, not me). The worst thing about the mass killers, so long as you didn’t dwell too much on the fact they were mass killers, was that they were smokers, but you almost felt sorry for them.
Another one of these this morning after a few hellish days in the middle.
Chronic illness is... at the very least a bit ridiculous... it leaves my poor little psyche quite battered & bruised (even while it's taught me types of deep strength)...
Grateful for these reprieves tho
This is playing in the "PictureHouse" cinemas across the UK. There's one here in Liverpool.
