@sundogplanets “Don’t have a cow, man.”
@rsalz Like `select()`, but for synchronization primitives in addition to I/O handles

@bontchev @BleepingComputer Good for Bombadil Systems for their apparent rediscovery of the ‘packer’, but yeah seems kinda embarrassing for CERT.
@tubetime But would short pulses allow one to obtain intelligible audio?
Or would it simply be used to charge a battery and-or activate a high bandwidth download?
@SwiftOnSecurity tay are you ok?
@karppinen HAL 9000 was way more cogent than this.
Claude here sounds like someone who shows up for a job interview drunk but still wants to make a good impression.
I wonder how often it does that “sobering sobering” self-talk internally without it slipping out.
