Remember to never share your private key with anyone (except oomfs)
I am making all my private keys just “4” based on reverse psychology, no one will imagine anyone could be dumb enough to use this again so it’s practically uncrackable If you need a super secure private key just copy this -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- 4 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Yes I don’t know any good engineers who talk about their code like it’s artisan bread. It’s like a locomotive, you can look at it and admire it, marvel at how powerful it is and how cleverly it is engineered. But its value is in what it does well, your code isn’t art. It doesn’t have value as art.
I work with a team of high-functioning scientists and engineers and one day someone in a presentation was like “I assume everyone now uses AI tools in their coding workflow” and we all nodded and that was that, it was that uncontroversial. That day was four months ago, you live in a past long gone.
Every few weeks I feel the need to post about how absolutely useless LLMs are. They have a pretty bad error rate. Hallucinations are part of the math they are inescapable. These models are incapable of anything more than novel combinations of historical data. Nothing more.

How good would thousands of these all over Australia be? news.mongabay.com/2026/05/abov...
Ok I am thinking Brewster but if the forecast is bad then go with a lower altitude backup option like Luxmore, or Upper Caples, or Woolshed/Pinnacle, or Godley/Red Stag.
Long shot but does anyone know which are the best winter overnight hikes to do in NZ as a reasonably fit and prepared hiker on South Island, ideally in Otago, Canterbury, or Southland (yes I know I can ask DoC but they are so patronising it’s a waste of time)

People are mad about this but what happened to “fully automated luxury socialism”? What did you think “fully automated” meant? Vibes? Essays?
Perhaps the optics problem is mostly due to the fact that the left keeps talking about how stuff like AI, space rockets, giant computers, and nuclear power is evil? Do we really want to be the side that says “the future is and will be shit”? Why are we just giving away optimism as a political idea?

“We have made a technology that creates nothing but will ensure you have no future while we get richer and richer wait why are you boooing?”

You can clearly see here it is not big pharma trickery, just regulatory stupidity Coopervision is transparent about this, they are certified for 2-week use in Australia and a month in UK
This is interesting 👀 I ordered fortnightly disposable contact lenses this time instead of the monthly ones I had been using. But it’s the same lens! It’s made of the same silicon hydrogel (hydrogel = water retaining polymer). Same moisture content. Made in the same UK factory.
