History is the study of human mess. And that mess matters. Because we’re not going to navigate the 21st century with clean models. The next pandemics, climate shocks, political collapses—they’re not going to play by the rules of probability theory.
You know the type. MIT-trained, Substack-fluent, AI-curious. They can quote Hume, dabble in Bayesianism, and confidently wield phrases like "regression discontinuity" and "effective optimization landscape" in casual conversation.
Wonder if there's also a lack/distrust of empathy at work too?

Both cats were curled up in a ball, acting like they were asleep. When I looked closer though, they both had their eyes open. Were they pretending? Were they playing tricks on us? We may never know.

Agents could make it easier and cheaper for criminals to hack systems at scale. We need to be ready.
by Rhiannon Williams, April 4, 2025
"Agents are the talk of the AI industry—they’re capable of planning, reasoning, and executing complex tasks like scheduling meetings, ordering groceries, or even taking over your computer to change settings on your behalf. But the same sophisticated abilities that make agents helpful assistants could also make them powerful tools for conducting cyberattacks. They could readily be used to identify vulnerable targets, hijack their systems, and steal valuable data from unsuspecting victims.
"At present, cybercriminals are not deploying AI agents to hack at scale. But researchers have demonstrated that agents are capable of executing complex attacks (Anthropic, for example, observed its Claude LLM successfully replicating an attack designed to steal sensitive information), and cybersecurity experts warn that we should expect to start seeing these types of attacks spilling over into the real world."
if there are any #GNOME designers/artists (gnomes? gnome heads? gnomish sourcerers? gnaphic gnesigners?) seeing this, does it comply with the HIG in your opinion? what would you suggest changing if not?
the cheesecrater icon uses the standard rustacean image, which doesn't have that smooth, rounded look the HIG usually suggests, but i lack the skill to make a "blobby" version of ferris.
the crates browser, with its triple-pane layout (third screenshot), is the most complicated of them, but it's based on the design of the crates.io website, which displays the readme alongside a right-aligned "metadata" pane.
(also: either it's very hard to write descriptive alt text for UI design screenshots, or i am very bad at it. possibly both.)
would you believe me if i told you that getting an icon to appear in this dropdown menu involved several hours of reading GTK forum posts, documentation, and examples in both rust and C, with more than one null pointer dereference along the way
i took a break from working on cheesecrater, and i've since implemented user preferences, including a mostly finished dark mode. adwaita makes it really easy!

Trump says he wants to send Americans to gulags in El Salvador: "I love that. If we could take some of our 20 time wiseguys that push people into subways ... if he would take them, I would be honored to give them. I don't know what the law says on that ... I'm all for it."

Oh, the #AMD NPU driver already got upstreamed into #Linux 6.14? Fancy that, I thought I had to build myself a dkms module to get it running on OpenSuse. 🙂
Now I'm curious how involved it will gonna be to make something like #Codestral run on it. The usual tools are probably not yet well optimized to utilize that Co-Processor OOTB.

REPORTER: How concerned are you about the measles outbreak? There was another fatality today
TRUMP: Well I think they, uh, they're doing reports on it. It's so far a fairly small number of people. It's something people have known about for many many years. We'll see what happens.

A music Toot this time but I'll throw in some gaming as well.
I got my first weekly stats from the stats.fm app, so I wanted to share here. It's definitely not a surprising list. hihi...
I played a little NMS yesterday while chatting to @Nio who was working on the expedition. I decided to go out and find some more bones. I wanna build a exhibition kind of area and then play around with different kinds of fossil displays. I know it won't ever be as cool as others will be able to make it, as I truly suck with building in NMS (I struggle with the 3D aspect and how to connect things properly). But, it will be fun to try it out... 😊
Today there won't be any gaming. I've given myself a day off, no garden work, but I'll visit the zoo for a few hours. Hopefully the weather will be nice and it won't be too busy in the early hours... 🤞🏻
On Tuesday, I wanna do some garden work again. And then probably reward myself with some gaming. 😊
Hope you all had a good weekend! and that the new week will bring loads of fun and positivity!

Although it’s certainly more plausible than hypotheses like ancient aliens or lizard people, the idea that slaves built the Egyptian pyramids is no more true. It derives from creative readings of Old Testament stories and technicolor Cecil B.
Yesterday was incredible. **The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide** Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest, Let's go even bigger — our goal is to get 3.5% of America in the streets. Keep your signs, make new ones, and start preparing now. Let's make history again on 4/19,
It was correct hashtags (I had put in a couple of alternatives, just to cover eventualities). I untoggled all the “hide from” options, resetting them, and last time it checked, it wasn’t showing what it had been earlier. Thanks. I will keep an eye on it for the next few days.
Okay, glad to hear it is working in the end. Thanks for info on what worked, maybe someone else will run into this as well.
I had a look at the Github for clues about this and there seemed to be some people who had to reload timelines to get filters to kick in, so maybe there is something like that going on.
