How big can a black hole get?
Really, really, REALLY soul-vaporizingly big.
But it turns out there's an upper limit to how massive they can be, because a) they're sloppy eaters, and 2) the universe is only so old.

How Big Can a Black Hole Get?
Some black holes get extremely massive. Is there an upper limit to their growth?Phil Plait (Scientific American)
![Star Trek Voyager scene. Captain Janeway in red and black uniform is standing next to a food replicator, which looks like a wall panel with touch interface buttons and a lil cubby inside where things just appear when she asks for what she wants. It's an otherwise normal starship room with some nice future space lighting sconces, probably the mess hall. Ok so she's standing alongside it and the closed caption reads, "Coffee, black."

my macbook with Asahi Linux now lasts more than 6 hours, which is kind of crazy compared to just several hours a few weeks ago. they surely did something with power management, which is truly awesome.
macbooks are beautiful machines, but the closed nature of macOS is just criminal. the Asahi Linux team is working towards liberating these machines.

Ja hem acabat el disseny i la programació de la Nova Aixeta! Ja ho tenim tot a punt per presentar-la el dilluns 8 de setembre!
Ha sigut una tasca densa i lenta. Hem revisat línia per línia tot el codi de la plataforma, retocant errors, i agilitzant tots els processos. I, paral·lelament, hem anat implementant el nou disseny. En total, 5 mesos de feina per un equip petitíssim de 3 persones.
Tinc moltes ganes que ho pugueu veure. És un dels projectes més bèsties en els que he participat.

Here is a way that I think #LLMs and #GenAI are generally a force against innovation, especially as they get used more and more.
TL;DR: 3 years ago is a long time, and techniques that old are the most popular in the training data. If a company like Google, AWS, or Azure replaces an established API or a runtime with a new API or runtime, a bunch of LLM-generated code will break. The people vibe code won't be able to fix the problem because nearly zero data exists in the training data set that references the new API/runtime. The LLMs will not generate correct code easily, and they will constantly be trying to edit code back to how it was done before.
This will create pressure on tech companies to keep old APIs and things running, because of the huge impact it will have to do something new (that LLMs don't have in their training data). See below for an even more subtle way this will manifest.
I am showcasing (only the most egregious) bullshit that the junior developer accepted from the #LLM, The LLM used out-of-date techniques all over the place. It was using:
- AWS Lambda Python 3.9 runtime (will be EoL in about 3 months)
- AWS Lambda NodeJS 18.x runtime (already deprecated by the time the person gave me the code)
- Origin Access Identity (an authentication/authorization mechanism that started being deprecated when OAC was announced 3 years ago)
So I'm working on this dogforsaken codebase and I converted it to the new OAC mechanism from the out of date OAI. What does my (imposed by the company) AI-powered security guidance tell me? "This is a high priority finding. You should use OAI."
So it is encouraging me to do the wrong thing and saying it's high priority.
It's worth noting that when I got the code base and it had OAI active, Python 3.9, and NodeJS 18, I got no warnings about these things. Three years ago that was state of the art.

I am slowly working my way through CJ Cherryh's "Rusalka" (1989) which is a fantasy novel dealing with the Slavic version.
The back copy says it is in "pre-christian Russia" but I keep getting disoriented because the protagonists are trying to travel to the fabulous city of Kiev, where the streets are paved with gold. But the history of that region is complicated, of course, like most places.

I have been fighting with a random, unannounced change to the way a social media platform works today.
I swear that most tech companies mission for their product design these days is, "Let's take something that was already working badly and make it work even worse."
So the DOD is getting renamed to Department of War?
I am deeply disappointed that they failed to call it the Ministry of Peace. This is the problem with fascists -- they don’t read books.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post by a user named "bluebird" with the handle "[@]bluebir38952152." The post discusses a news story from the Australian Broadcasting Company about a victory for anti-feminist views in Australia, specifically regarding the criminalization of rape. The post mentions that the陪审团 (jury) views sexual life as a basic human right and that feminism is considered a higher-level demand, implying that sexual rights are prioritized over women's rights. It also references a case where street artist Anthony Lister was acquitted of sexual assault, despite the disclosure of his guilt. The post includes a timestamp of "12月12日，星期四" (December 12, Thursday) and a source attribution to "Jamie McKinnell" and "法庭" (court). The image also includes a blurred photo of a person in a black jacket with a brooch, standing in a corridor with a patterned ceiling.
