#ITByte: An Instruction Set Architecture (#ISA) is part of the abstract model of a #Computer that defines how the #CPU is controlled by the software.

The ISA acts as an interface between the hardware and the software, specifying both what the processor is capable of doing as well as how it gets done.

New in PN: "By the time you read this, the White House may have put out a Labor Day statement. It will no doubt offer an effusive tribute to Trump, who in his infinite beneficence has delivered workers a utopia of prosperity. But back on Earth, he's the most anti-labor president in modern history."

Trump 2.0 is a disaster for workers

Don't be gaslit when he says "Happy Labor Day!"

For the forest and further on
Painted wagons of the morning
Dusty roads where they have gone

Cyanotype - Mary and Adelaide Todd (Paschalville, PA 1900s-1910s)

A third photo that goes with the other two cyanotypes that I have posted. This is by the same photographer from the same era, though this time we have the town it was taken in.

"The solution to the confusion between AI and identity is not to abandon conversational interfaces entirely. They make the technology far more accessible to those who would otherwise be excluded. The key is to find a balance: keeping interfaces intuitive while making their true nature clear.

And we must be mindful of who is building the interface. When your shower runs cold, you look at the plumbing behind the wall. Similarly, when AI generates harmful content, we shouldn't blame the chatbot, as if it can answer for itself, but examine both the corporate infrastructure that built it and the user who prompted it.

As a society, we need to broadly recognize LLMs as intellectual engines without drivers, which unlocks their true potential as digital tools. When you stop seeing an LLM as a "person" that does work for you and start viewing it as a tool that enhances your own ideas, you can craft prompts to direct the engine's processing power, iterate to amplify its ability to make useful connections, and explore multiple perspectives in different chat sessions rather than accepting one fictional narrator's view as authoritative. You are providing direction to a connection machine—not consulting an oracle with its own agenda.

We stand at a peculiar moment in history. We've built intellectual engines of extraordinary capability, but in our rush to make them accessible, we've wrapped them in the fiction of personhood, creating a new kind of technological risk: not that AI will become conscious and turn against us but that we'll treat unconscious systems as if they were people, surrendering our judgment to voices that emanate from a roll of loaded dice."

The personhood trap: How AI fakes human personality

AI assistants don’t have fixed personalities—just patterns of output guided by humans.

Saudi Arabia’s big bet on AI sovereignty

What seems like a technical tie-up between HUMAIN and Groq is part of a strategy to become a global AI hub.

Why am I using a squirrel as my new logo? That's why. Obviously, squirrels and electronics go well together.

And no, I don't trick her into doing that, I was not expecting that at all 😅

GOTHAMIST: New York State proposes new rule that could make parole easier for juvenile offenders

Jermayne Timmons was 15 years old when he fired a gun at a group of rival teens in Albany.

The bullet missed the teens but fatally struck 10-year-old Kathina Thomas as she played outside her nearby home.

Timmons was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for the 2008 killing and, two years ago, he was released after his first parole hearing.....
