Bobby Prince has died.

He was the musical face of the DOS era, with iconic compositions for games such as the Commander Keen series, the Doom series, and Duke Nukem 3D. While he hadn't been very active in the past 25 years, many people remember his music, and some levels of Doom I and II still instantly evoke the distinctive AdLib sound of his tunes. A great loss!

Ah . . . ! What's happening? it thought.
Er, excuse me, who am I?
Hello?
Why am I here? What's my purpose in life?
What do I mean by who am I?

In 2020, OpenSSL had a vulnerability in handling the signature_algorithms_cert extension. https://openssl-library.org/news/secadv/20200421.txt

Palo Alto apparently "solved" this in their IPS by blocking connections with "unknown" algs in signature_algorithms_cert.

Six years later, we can't add ML-DSA to signature_algorithms_cert in Go. signature_algorithms_cert is dead.

Sigh.

Thanks to @cks for diagnosing this. Sometimes it takes us months to figure out things like this.

"There are colors that I want to show you, but I can’t. They exist in the real world. You probably saw some of them today, but I can’t show them to you on a screen. A digital photograph can’t capture them, and your screen can’t display them. No game you’ve ever played has contained them. Unless you have specialized equipment, they are entirely absent from the digital world.

Most of them are cyans."

The fact that we're willing to rely on LLMs to generate code knowing that it only mostly works because that code has been generated before thousands of times is not an indication that stochastic models are good, it's a massive, punishing indictment of computing as a field.

Using an insanely huge expensive model to quasi-reproduce work that's been created thousands of times already isn't productive or efficient. It's a symptom of profound failures of language, practice, process and imagination.

This #Moscow tank cover has a huge memic potential - this one was published by “Wagner Group” (!) channel “Alex Parker returns” who had been mercilessly ridiculing Putin for months now.

EU folks: What are the tax etc. implications if I, as a non EU resident/citizen with no existing business connection to the EU, want to offer a paid training at a conference in Europe? Do I have to collect VAT or sales tax or something along those lines? Or if I'm not a European citizen/business or collecting less than X million EUR in the tax year am I tax-exempt?

Is this such a paperwork nightmare I shouldn't even attempt it unless an existing EU entity wants to handle all of this and just contract with me for my time?

Fuck AI?

Katie Moussouris absolutely nails it from start to end on the stupidity of the white house’s export control own-goal. It’s a short read so give it a click

Choice quote:

> The same holds for every capable AI model, including the foreign and open-weight systems the United States cannot reach with export controls, many of which will match Fable and Mythos capabilities within months

💯 and it’s already happening. There is existing research yielding similar results to those claimed by Mythos, but with open models
