"I'm interested in all kinds of astronomy."
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.
