Bluesky: "Meanwhile there are serious security issues that are covered up by this hype. I’m using this tech every day, unlike the reporters, and as often happens they’re chasing the wrong story."

So today, "Fiestas Patrias" (National Holidays) officially started in Chile. Many people think we're celebrating our Independence Day, but actually, September 18th commemorates the First Government Junta, an institution formed to establish a provisional government before a more stable one could be established...

Prompted by an HN thread: Qwen 3.8 Omni Flash New AI models ship every week, and testing each one is not worth the time it takes. That is the real lesson in a Hacker News thread that started out about announcing Qwen 3.8 Omni Flash: pick a model that works, keep it, and swit...

I started psychoanalysis at a moment when I was trying to run away from multiple things. Running away from one meant running towards another. I was stuck. I don’t feel like that anymore. In the last session I heard myself say: nowadays I’m not running away but always running...

Ohio Man breaks free from handcuffs, punches deputies, and attempts courthouse escape

Just moments after being sentenced to one year in prison, Reaggle managed to break free of his handcuffs and punch the officer in the face. He then took of running, knocking another officer to the ground.

Why are these things always in Ohio 😆 I swear, even the random true crime and body cam videos I stumble across on YouTube; if they’re not from Ohio, they’re from Florida. Every time.

A new snarky slogan: Knicks in 5.

I'm doing a difficult corner-turn today. I have Atlantis running on my old machine, the one that's still running the very old version of MacOS so I could keep running Frontier there. Yesterday I did my first attempt to move that to my new MacBook, running the latest OS. And it took a while to copy all the files, and get it right, I had to format the drive on the new machine, not the old one. And once it was all running, I realized I was running an old version of frontier.root. This is more complicated here because the root files are loaded into an SQL database. And something went wrong there. Not exactly where I wanted to be, but not surprising either. Taking lots of snapshots. One thing I don't want to happen, to be without my latest work. Knock wood. Praise Murphy. Knicks in 5.

Data centers are like gas stations, but because the pumps work at the speed of light, you can put them anywhere on earth.

Yes they did. “despite having found literally thousands of new vulnerabilities (only a fraction of which were reported to Open Source projects, by the way), I don’t think that we’re any safer than before. That’s because finding vulnerabilities has never been the bottleneck in information security. The bottleneck isn’t even verifying a vulnerability report and… Read More »Everybody’s Lost Their Minds

I got out running again this week. My bruised ribs are healing, and my thumb is nearly as good as new. The links this week cover AI privacy, accountability, surveillance, education, wealth, and the risks of putting powerful tools in the wrong hands.

Evidence-based UK review of lutein for longevity, sleep, and healthy ageing. Updated 2026-09-18.

I'm intrigued! The current state of the art for these apps is a hot mess, so this is a welcome change. I'm looking forward to trying this.

The Safari 27.0 release notes are live, it's a big one:

Our Safari release notes have never been as long as they are for this version. The number of features alone rose from 58 to 83 since the first beta in June.

We inherited a frame with no painting. It was a beautiful thing, hand carved, with all the little faults that a human hand creates. We never could agree what should go in it. Every painting we both liked was the wrong size. We hung it on the wall just as

🖇️ This has in turn inspired me to sort out my entire folder of Markdown notes. Started today - with two twists. All is staying local for use within Obsidian - no Wiki needed. The starting point is a lot of notes with various degrees of completeness and meaning - lots of dup...

This is exactly the kind of come up I need. I should go to more estate sales 👀

🏗️ I am using Claude to co-build my Wiki and have now got a nice flow to it. Claude has access to a specific folder on my drive - we edit together and Claude does things like cleaning up my tags and other YAML - as well as pushing the local folder contents up to Git. Blot picks it up from there and pushes it out to 🖇️ https://wiki.philpin.com … like all good web properties it is an eternal WIP. Not ready from prime time - BUT as I say on the Wiki:

“we have leaned into the design philosophy of ‘build in public’ and not wait for perfect”

I also use the whole thing locally with Obsidian.
