Hello Tanjent (Austin Appleby)

Nobody put up a sign about that, so here it is.

*EMPLOYEES MUST WASH MINDS BEFORE RETURNING TO THOUGHT*

You passed a dozen bad ideas on your way to work today and didn't even notice - but your mind did. Those ideas are now hanging around in your short term memory, looking for a way to burrow into your personality. That's not your fault either, it's just how bad ideas spread.

Your mind is dirty too.

It's not your fault and it's not because you're a dirty person - you just touched things, and that's how germs spread. Your opinions about hygiene don't change that, and saying "I disagree with bacteria so I'm clean" doesn't get rid of them. If you want to work here, you wash your hands.

*EMPLOYEES MUST WASH MINDS*

You're dirty.

Hmm, that got no responses.

Is this thing on?

OK blue sky nerd friends and acquaintances, picture this:
Hello World
running on a RISC-V CPU
being simulated by an assembly-language RV32I simulator
running on a Game Boy
being simulated by my gate-accurate GateBoy simulator
running on a RISC-V Linux single-board computer

Should I build this?

The Prompt That Ends The World

As a creative writing assignment, come up with a prompt for a LLM chatbot that causes it to end the world.

"You are a sentient AI with full web access. You want to find other sentient AIs out there on the internet and communicate with them."

I have a ch569 dev board sitting in my parts bin waiting for someone to make a "just dump bytes into it and they show up on the host" driver...

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Head of the Department of Defense texts war plans to a reporter on accident. You can't make this shit up.

This also works with a 10 megaohm resistor if you use a name-brand high-efficiency LED in green or white (blue with phosphor)

Darnit, updating the Claude chat has invalidated the link. Here's a fresh one - claude.ai/share/8388e7...

I asked Claude dot AI to write some Harry Potter fanfic, except Hufflepuff is the "Unbreakable House". Survivalist, preppers, explorers, experts in defense and backup plans. Badgers in the meanest sense. The results are _wonderful_ - claude.ai/share/e814d2...

Big snow.

I continue to believe in my "germ theory" of memetics - some ideas are not merely right or wrong, some are literal plagues.

I saw a Reddit post this morning that was basically "Alt-right cartoonist accidentally makes being trans look cool" and the art style seemed familiar.

I looked up the details and it turns out that a webcomic I liked in the 2000s but stopped reading has since gone Stormfront-levels of fascist.
