Queer ascetic nomad, traveling around the US in Subarus since 2015. Reading a lot of books. Weird abolitionist, anti-prohibition, anti/critical-AI tendencies. Still in school. First for psychology, then math, and now a masters in CS despite begrudging bias

When we started the log analysis, we first used frontier models behind commercial APIs. This did not work: the analysis requires submitting large volumes of real attack commands, exploit payloads, and C2 artifacts, and these requests were blocked by the providers' safety guardrails, which cannot distinguish an incident responder from an attacker. We ran the forensic analysis instead on GLM 5.2, an open-weight model, on our own infrastructure. This had a second benefit: no attacker data, and none of the credentials it referenced, left our environment. This experience points to a gap worth planning for. We do not know which model powered the attacker's agents, whether a jailbroken hosted model or an unrestricted open-weight one; either way, the attacker was bound by no usage policy, while our own forensic work was blocked by the guardrails of the hosted models we first tried. The practical lesson for defenders: have a capable model you can run on your own infrastructure vetted and ready before an incident, both to avoid guardrail lockout and to keep attacker data and credentials from leaving your environment. This is not an argument against safety measures on hosted models, and we are sharing this feedback with the providers concerned.

gif of my euclid app showing drawing a line and then the line and points exploding into dust
an animation of the app I've been working on; this is animating drawing a Point with Euclid's definition: A point is that which has no part. It just shows the pen coming down, doing a little cone while apparently pressing and then lifting off, leaving a point behind
another screenshot of my compass and pen euclid thing, but now it has like a ui with a catalog of animations and information text
my weird compass and pen drawing animation showing shadows and 3d pipe looking lines
An isometric compass and pen drawing lines. there's some fun particle effects and stuff, too. Just one blue circle and a red line and a yellow line. the red and yellow lines are the same, drawn in reverse direction over the same space. The lines vanish shortly after completed each time.

another of the compass
an updated spinning compass; the difference is more randomness and some subtle particles floating up along the trail of the spinning part as well
my animated compass with a weird blue/white alternating effect that was uninentional
My compass spinning in a circle some more. Now there's a light blue line trailing the moving part of the compass on the black-ish board
a compass made of just lines spinning around idk

Prompt to Github Copilot: WE MUST TRAIN THE STICK MAN TO DANCE! HE NEEDS TO DANCE! HE NEEEEDS TO DANCE! HE IS A DANCER! HE IS A DANCING STICK MAN! WE MUST TEACH HIM TO DANCE! HE'S GOTTA DANCE! HE NEEDS TO DANCE! Github Copilot's response: I’m checking a few exact line anchors in the current solver loop so I can tell you precisely where dance motion should plug in without hand-waving. Searched for regex and reviewed main.odin He cannot dance yet because the current system in main.odin:264 is only doing two things: gravity/integration via main.odin:214 geometric cleanup via fixed-length and straight-line constraints in main.odin:264 That makes him a collapsing rag/constraint rig, not a performer. There is no notion of pose targets, motors, beat phase, or pinned dance anchors. The smallest path to a dancing stick man is this:
The stick dude falling from above and collapsing into pieces on the ground
The stick figure has collapsed onto the ground
A stick figure standing inside an isometric box

The Self language logo. It just says "Self" in dark text except the e is blue and there's an arrow coming from the f and circling kinda behind/above Self and pointing to the bottom of the S
APL looking around the corner sus. Also some kid for some reason with it. idk man.
Me in 2005 vs Me in 2026. It's an obviously photoshopped image of the same beat up, ragged sponge. The one for 2026 is obviously the original ragged ass sponge, and it is copied over something else--totally a good sponge--on the left Me in 2005 version.

Your Result Neither Somehow. German 29% Autistic 18% Scores are independent — they don't need to add up to 100%. You are, as far as this diagnostic can establish, neither specifically German in your cognitive habits nor particularly autistic in your neurological profile. You are something rarer in the context of people who take quizzes like this: apparently normal about it. This may mean the questions didn't land correctly. It may mean you're better at self-presentation than self-report. It may mean you are, in fact, just a person who functions reasonably well in the world without particular extremes in either direction. Aristotle thought the good was the mean between extremes. He was, by all accounts, an extremely systematic thinker who built one of the most comprehensive philosophical systems in history. Make of that what you will. You probably ended up here through social media, which means someone you follow scored either Both or German. They sent it to you as a question or a joke. You are their control group.

A screenshot of an article on 10 Silicon Canals (I guess?). Headline reads "Psychology suggests people who browse social media but never post or comment aren't passive--they've simply opted out of the performance while retaining access to the information, which is a more deliberate choice than most people who post every day have ever thought to make"

Nine organizations, represented by Earthjustice and the Law Offices of Joseph Lavigne, will intervene in a lawsuit to defend Chuckwalla National Monument in California after a district court judge approved the move. The lawsuit seeks to undo the designation of the monument, which was established in January 2025. “Chuckwalla National Monument is the result of years of collaboration among Tribal nations, diverse communities, and elected leaders—using a century-old presidential tool to protect America’s most cherished landscapes,” said Mark Green, executive director of Calwild. “Any attempt to undo these protections would be a betrayal of the public trust and bipartisan voices that made the monument possible.” The lawsuit was filed by an Idaho-based motorized recreation special interest group, Blue Ribbon Coalition, and an individual miner from Michigan, against the U.S. Department of Interior. They are represented by the Texas Public Policy Foundation and Mountain States Legal Foundation. The nine groups that have joined the lawsuit in defense of the monument include CactusToCloud Institute, California Native Plant Society, CalWild, Center for Biological Diversity, Conservation Lands Foundation, the National Parks Conservation Association, Sierra Club, Vet Voice Foundation, and The Wilderness Society. All are interested in the monument’s designation and protection. Tribal Nations including the Ft. Yuma Quechan Indian Tribe, Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, and three other Tribal Nations have also joined as parties to the case.
A picture of me standing in front of a mountain lake at sunrise. I'm in a kilt and rising one hand in a fist, but my back to the camera. The lake is reflecting the mountains behind it like a mirror, the tops of the mountains glowing orange-red
A couple more old images. One is a man with his head down and a ghostly woman hovering above him. The other is a woman sitting with her arms crossed, a ghostly man hovering above her.

The Wyoming Freedom Caucus describes itself as a group of legislative representatives dedicated to limited government with an interest in protecting the freedoms of Wyomingites. Former Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. John Bear, R-Gillette, told Cowboy State Daily he cannot speak for the Freedom Caucus as a whole, but that he intends to always be a champion for private property rights in the state. “I’ll always try to do everything I can to create an even playing field,” he said. Bear said he has worked hard to protect property owners from eminent domain for wind transmission lines. “It doesn’t do you any good to have a wind on your private property if you can’t get the energy off the private property,” he said. He also told Cowboy State Daily that “woke wind can’t survive without government subsidies. … Do we want to subsidize woke wind?”
BlueSky post from Earthjustice . Org. "Prior to last year, Congress had never used drugs CRA to target public lands resource management plans or mineral withdrawals that protect special places from mining. It has also never been used to attack a national monument."
