I love that the name is "NX", which is also the Non eXecute bit in x86+PAE and x64 page tables to prevent memory from being executed

Sums up the whole "vibe coding" and "crypto" vibe pretty well

“exploit the AI to steal vibe-coders’ crypto” is a perfect summation of our modern tech environment, well done all around

Putting the burden on the general public entirely in exchange for their anonymity en masse. That's not privacy. Even with "privacy persevering technology".

Use ZKPs to share less. Not present more. Damn.

Except the space in-between

Intel's 386 processor was popular in late 1980s microcomputers. From the outside, the 386 chip is a boring ceramic square. But I obtained a 3-dimensional CT X-ray scan from Lumafield, revealing six layers of complex wiring hidden inside the ceramic package. Let's take a closer look... 1/N

An X-ray scan of the 386 chip. It shows a square with a grid of 132 pins. In the middle is a square, the silicon die. Blue wires connect the pins to the chip. Spikes stick out all around the perimeter of the package.

over on Mastodon i have a whole thread about unsticking the "12" key and lubricating the punches.

internals of the punch, featuring rows of levers. a single metal punch has been removed--it is a rectangular solid with a slot cut in the side (for the lever) and a beveled tip for cutting into the card stock.

just keep blaming it on lag
