Saturday El Niño update - Sea surface temperatures are still warming across Niño region 3.4 over the last week. Note that I finally had to readjust the scale on the map view, so it's not quite comparable to prior updates.

In the 1980s, PCs were everywhere but productivity gains were nowhere to be found until the 1990s. The internet similarly took years to deliver an economic payoff. This is the Productivity J-Curve.
Companies can adopt AI but until they change how they operate, they won’t financially benefit from it

we're about to see if i can get away with running gcc-6.5.0 with gcc-4.4.7 headers, because the only way i could get gcc-6.5.0 running again was to strip fucking EVERYTHING out, including manually digging through the optimizations still applied at -O0 to figure out why it was hanging on md5.c every time.

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever attempt to move a piano yourself. Hire piano movers — not just movers, but •piano• movers. The potential damage to humans and houses is so much larger than the extra cost of hiring the right person for the job, there’s just no comparison.
I don’t care if you did it before and didn’t die. I don’t care if the movers seem really strong though. Don’t.
The Piano Book goes in depth about this with some (true!) horror stories. I’m just surfacing it because it’s such an easy mistake to make, and because “preventable safety hazard!” is one of my favorite genres.

[2172144] gnome-shell leaks ~60-70 MiB/min of GPU (i915) shmem on Wayland after upgrade to 26.10; exhausts RAM in ~2.5 h
LaunchpadBug #2172144 “gnome-shell leaks ~60-70 MiB/min of GPU (i915) shm...” : Bugs : gnome-shell package : UbuntuAfter upgrading to Ubuntu 26.10 (Oct 17), gnome-shell's GPU memory grows steadily until the system runs out of RAM and swap, freezes, and the OOM killer kills Edge/other apps. Logging out and back in frees it all without a reboot.
System: Intel Raptor Lake-P Iris Xe (i915), 14 GiB RAM, 7.3 GiB swap, Wayland

[2172145] `O_DIRECT` read into a 512-aligned (not 4096-aligned) buffer returns `EIO` instead of `EINVAL` on a 4096-byte-sector LUKS volume (`dm-crypt`)
LaunchpadBug #2172145 “`O_DIRECT` read into a 512-aligned (not 4096-align...” : Bugs : linux package : UbuntuFull disclosure: an LLM (Claude Sonnet 5.5) was used to debug/pin point the root cause and write this bug report that I've reviewed.
**Summary**
On a LUKS2 volume formatted with 4096-byte sectors, `O_DIRECT` reads into a buffer that is not 4096-byte aligned fail with `EIO`. The `dm` device advertises `dma_alignment=4095`, so the kernel should reject such buffers up front with `EINVAL`. There is
"There can't be an AI bubble because people really like the product" is a really dumb sentence. The housing bubble didn't pop because people stopped wanting houses. Market actors oversold product to people who couldn't afford it, then defaulted. And the derivatives built upon those sales and loans defaulted with it.
The AI industry is selling things to people at a discounted price, the true cost of which customers could never afford. It's not about if the bubble is going to pop, but when.
This is not about the usefulness or impact of AI, those are literally unrelated to the issue. It's a financial problem.

As much as I like fearmongering to stop the slope from slipping i don’t necessarily agree with the stopping of it
So like first off the bat there is an opt out idk why they said there wasn’t. You just enable developer mode and wait 24 hours
The problem wth this is why I have a problem with Google. Enabling developer mode is known to break some secure apps like some banking apps. This is a Google security feature and it is deliberately meant to lock you in. Enable side loading and break your apps.
This is a broader issue of Google breaking functionality on custom roms like lineage and graphene os, and making it more difficult and a hassle to “degoogle” to whatever extent you can on Android.
There’s a conflict of security where Google play is kind of the Wild West where you can find fake clones of popular apps and mistakenly download malware onto your phone instead of the app you wanted. But at the same time Google play is theory secure way to distribute applications. Google play attestation is also present on many applications now such as balatro for some reason, blocking it on graphene os even if you download it from the google play store after legitimately purchasing it.
So in googles ideal world you are not sideloading applications and you are only using Google play with a googled proprietary Android rom they approve of. That’s the only way to retain full functionality on your phone when this goes into effect.
So at the end of the day you either make sacrifices to spite Google and let them cuck you out of features you should be eligible for, or you let them take full control of your phone and run whatever the hell they want to on “your” device.
So much for that “openness” people keep talking about on Android.
