📢 New Essay: The Boring Internet
The internet you grew up on isn’t dying.
A commercial veneer glued on top of it is.
Showing activities from people in this circle
After spending several weeks assessing what LLMs can and cannot do, I can confidently say that if your strategy right now is to replace human expertise entirely with AI, you're fucked. There are smart ways to use AI and there dumb ways.

Raw sewage from nearly 40,000 people and businesses is being pumped straight into the sea because the British overseas territory of Gibraltar does not have, and has never had, a wastewater treatment plant. #wastewater #pollution #MediterraneanSea #Gibraltar https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/06/uk-territory-gibraltar-dumps-raw-sewage-mediterranean

Update from South Carolina
The Biden admin's fascist state propagated prosecution of me to "appear as hard on left wing extremists as the right." This kicked off the politicized nature of my case. A "Black, Muslim, militant, extremist domestic terror threat," as my FBI profile says. But I've been designated a "doomed man" in the words of George Jackson, long before the FBI did so. Bo

Ma i tabaccai vendono ancora francobolli?

I honestly bought the domain on a whim, because I'm kind of fascinated by slime molds. I'm super happy it finds such useful application. Thanks for all your work, @JulianOliver!
@thgie Thanks for the kind words! I'm fascinated by slime moulds too. The only kind I don't like comes from Silicon Valley.

Ben je student bij de UU en wil je een steentje bijdragen aan het Digitale Autonomie traject, misschien is deze vacature dan iets voor jou: https://lnkd.in/eQTqdySv
Hopelijk tot binnenkort! 💪
Quella che alcuni descrivono come la futura leader della sinistra di governo decide di spendere una milionata di denaro pubblico per il raduno degli alpini. Lo fa a ragion veduta per impegni presi dall’amministrazione precedente, perché Genova vuole essere protagonista anche prendendo decisioni non semplici e impopolari, perché singoli ubriaconi molestatori non possono mettere al bando una comunità che ha valori profondi, ed è corsa ad aiutare dopo il crollo del Morandi.
E dopo aver preso atto di motivazioni rispettabili anche se non necessariamente condivisibili, mi pongo un problema sulla sinistra e non sulla sindaca: perché quando amministra e governa la sinistra le mani sono legate dalle amministrazioni e dai governi precedenti mentre quando amministra la destra ha mano libera e briglia sciolta? Perché a destra è tutto vincolante e a sinistra sono tutti vincolati? Quali sono le altre comunità con valori profondi che meriterebbero un raduno milionario?

@nina_kali_nina it's an abbreviation
ADZE stands for Agressive Dissector Z-plane Edge, ADXE and ADYE are for blades in X-plane and Y-plane respectively. Here's a 3d-rendering showing the AD*E axis naming convention.
Axe is just a common misspelling of ADXE, which became acceptable like disk/disc
![An openscad rendering of three instances of an axe generalization, where the blade is turned in all funny directions and also axes directions shown on the left. The things are subtitled ADXE (regual axe) ADZE (the one mentioned in the original post) ADYE (the typical ice cleaning thingy, the edge pointing directly away from the handle). The handles are vertical and the axes correspond the planes in which blades lay: x-axis towards viewer, y to the right, z is up
Here is the code generating the rendering:
module ad(e) { color("grey") rotate(e) rotate([0,0,90]){ translate([10,0]) rotate_extrude(angle=20,start=-10) translate([-10,0]) { rotate(-45) intersection() { circle(10); square(10); } square(5,center=true); } } translate([0,0,-27]) cylinder(d=2,h=30); } translate([0,-30,0]) ad([0,0,0]); translate([0,-30,-35])rotate([90,0,90])linear_extrude(1) text("ADXE",size=4,halign="center"); translate([0,0,0]) ad([0,90,0]); translate([0,0,-35])rotate([90,0,90])linear_extrude(1) text("ADZE",size=4,halign="center"); translate([0,30,0]) ad([90,0,0]); translate([0,30,-35])rotate([90,0,90])linear_extrude(1) text("ADYE",size=4,halign="center");](https://f2.tchncs.de/media_attachments/files/116/526/684/945/050/764/original/529a15faa4c8f221.jpg)

I just gave a presentation in Italy at the university of Pisa on digital autonomy, including the International Criminal Court ICC no longer getting support from Microsoft, at the direction of Trump, after investigating Netanyahu. Subsequently, ICC decided to ditch Microsoft.
I made the joke that the Vatican may also start looking into European alternatives for Microsoft.... 😁
FYI, the slides (without the Vatican) are (essentially) as on: http://www.cs.ru.nl/B.Jacobs/TALKS/autonomy-ict-open-4up.pdf

Nice to see in the local elections our current actual government who runs the country and everybody in it and wants us all to trust them with our life and the lives of our loved ones has at least bothered to optimise their website for the brand new invention of the mobile telephone

Nearly a month later you would've thought that the crawlers would've given up by now, dropped off, blacklisted the IPs, or perhaps even the domains themselves.
And yet no. As I tentatively guessed, thanks to your donated domains (and the people linking them in their sites) it has only grown.
I don't expect it to run this hot for the long term, but yesterday's hit count (these are almost 100% reads of randomly generated pages by AI crawlers) was near 1M.
@JulianOliver Damn, the bandwidth...
@Vivaldi Judging by the style of the image, it's something for iOS/Apple... So nothing for me. 😄 Still great to see you're actively developing your product. 👍
