OpenAI delaying its model launch (and IPO) due to security concerns reminds me of 8yo me delaying the launch of my nerve gas rocket (made of paper and stuff I found in the kitchen, probably inspired by The Rock with Nicholas Cage) for similar reasons.

Later we agreed in mutual disarmament with my toy soldiers.

I made a thing: it's called the DNS Museum, and it's because I kept joking at the start of my talk, "Bizarre and Unusual Uses of DNS" that a lot of the things weren't alive anymore - so it was more like a museum of DNS and I was the curator. Anyway, I'm on holiday right now so I finally got around to doing something about that joke.

Consider this a first draft, I have way more notes about other things to add at some point. It's also a little bland, but one thing I'm not is a designer. Let me know about any issues - AI was used to help create the site, but of course I'm responsible for any mistakes. It's on GitHub too, so PRs are welcome.

RE//verse 2027 is on the way, and you should probably be there! If you know, you know. If you don’t, this is a very good year to fix that. https://re-verse.io/

For my birthday, my brother-in-law gave me a 4992-digit hex number that, when used as a seed for Python’s random number generator, makes it so that printing a sequence of “random” ASCII characters actually prints a birthday greeting.

I find it rather amazing that this is possible!

This is the program he sent with the seed:

with open("seed.txt", encoding="ascii") as handle:
seed = int(handle.read().strip(), 0)
r = random.Random(seed)
pending = ""
while True:
character = chr(r.randrange(128))
if pending + character == "\x1e\x1f":
break
print(pending, end="")
pending = character
print()

I know this is going to sound crazy, but what I’d most like in a printer is one where, when I tell it to print something, it prints.

My second problem with computers and IT is that nearly nobody understands software anymore and I feel so-called AI will make this much worse.
