@jsbarretto I think its because the Soft Cell version is a double feature with Where did our Love Go

@jsbarretto interesting. I thought Soft Cell’s was the original and preferred Manson’s cover of it!

@jsbarretto every single time i go with you through another iteration of this project it leaves me speechless! what an amazing work!

@jsbarretto this is truly amazing! I’ve been following along for a while, and it’s so impressive what you’ve been able to accomplish on the GBA

@breakfastgolem Possibly my most favourite object in the British Museum, I have witnessed it in person.

@breakfastgolem Ea-Nasir was a good an honest man. Imagine if your favorite business was immortalized for thousands of years by the most unhinged Yelp review.

@selfsame But... you can do that. The only thing that prevents you from it is handling this huge amount of data.

@selfsame okay fine, i am forced to admit this was an indisputable banger of a quip

@selfsame we are willing to invest billions of dollars to educate a handful of LLMs but don't want to spend anything to educate humans.

@lcamtuf That reminds me of this Springer meme.

@tess someone said recently that pre-LLM era content will have a greater value because we *know* it wasn’t LLM generated, analogous to pre-nuclear era steel

(I wish I could remember where I saw this, because I think about it a lot)

Eventually someone is going to come up with a Worm that attacks only LLM models .
Could probably do that by feeding it the collected works of William S. Burroughs

Pretty sure advertisers already took care of that one long ago.

@lina do you know if the video is available anywhere else? i can't sign in to watch it

@lina imagine having the biggest open source operating system in the world and get along with each other when comes to choices and preferences.

Shame that in the end many great programmers have their ego that high so they are toxic. This reminds me of Hyprland dev: https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2024-on-cosmic

@lina The problem is, you can not just rewrite the DRM scheduler and expect all the other drm drivers to just migrate to rust.

To the end users, they do not really care a little, as long as their Intel/AMD/Nvidia GPUs mostly work.

But if one day all those drivers suddenly won't be supported just because they are not written in Rust, then they care a lot.

@lina This post of yours made the news:

@lina

Reading through the discussion in LWN, I see reasonable arguments as to why there are problems. See e.g. https://lwn.net/Articles/987817/ (a subthread in that discussion).

@lina It smacks of what I experienced as a heavy fabrication welder fitter turner. All over again. Old farts refuse to adopt newer safer practices because “we’ve always done it this way and it’s worked for us why do we need to change”.

@humantransit
Yes, the government should reimburse us 100% of the cost of the car we aren't buying

@humantransit If you're not driving an ICE vehicle, there's no gain in giving you money.

Also worth saying that even people who don't personally own a vehicle benefit from the use of ICE or jet-fueled vehicles in the form of public transport, cartage of goods, services like ambulance, fire brigade and more.

@humantransit ah, but filthy car non-owners aren't contributing to the GDP by not buying a car and really in what sense are they even human if so?

@esther Great, now I have to worry about sharks collapsing into black holes. The ultimate predator.

@rain

....mb this is a naive question but why haven't they set that up for at least their -parts- of the kernel space?

The most fun I've had has been working on projects like @veloren, watering holes in which people with eclectic interests have come together to poke and experience a public MacGuffin, a commons with all sorts of opportunities for low-level chaos and mischief.

@GarethDennis I remember the last government was keen that organisations toe the official line and keep awkward questions or opinions to themselves if they wanted any public work, so that bit isn’t shocking. But I am surprised that Lord Hendy was so wounded by accusations that Euston is unsuitable (😮) that he personally intervened to follow this up multiple times.

@GarethDennis
I've emailed my MP.
Next is NRM.
Hope you've picked up a decent lawyer.
Good luck - and thanks.

@GarethDennis Peter Hendy mailing photos of Euston circled with gold sharpie and captioned "see, not so busy!"

@jsbarretto if you like gitea, try the Forgejo fork :D https://forgejo.org/

@jsbarretto I've been having lots of fun setting up my personal forgejo instance with git-annex support and forgejo actions. Much more streamlined than GitLab. What a honking beast that one was.

@atax1a@infosec.exchange Now you tell me! Written a while library of functions for the other letters!

@atax1a If you look really closely it's actually composing the other letters and symbols out of tiny "f"s. Very few people examine their letters closely which is how they get away with this.

@atax1a

Really red this repeatedly as #redsox and was very confused. CC @sogrady

@erlend @servo @redox @robin Nice! I recently found out that Google is working on open font libraries in Rust, maybe it's helpful https://github.com/googlefonts/fontations

@erlend @servo @redox @ngisargasso @robin I'm really enjoying watching Redox slowly transitioning from 'hobby project' to 'actually viable platform'. Good stuff.

@cstross side comment: as Trent has pointed out, drones are particularly effective against Russia, although drones do mean quite a big shift in cheap / high volume firepower.

Also: the US mil/ind complex struggles with drones because they disrupt BAU “big iron” spending - hence the //extreme reticence to support UKR// and thereby evidence a changed requirement for defence spending.

@cstross

I foresee the resurgence of shotguns as military weapons, you're going to get specialised anti-drone specialists in every infantry squad.

Also, I think this thread severely overestimates fuel-air explosives, you don't need Space Marine armour to protect soldiers against FAE barotrauma, you need to protect a soldier's respiratory system, the rest is pretty resilient.

@cstross
Yeah it's the Charge of the Light Brigade vs automatic firearms all over again. You just can't move large troop bodies or heavy materiel under a drone umbrella.
That era is over.
It also means no war can ever be won again - hey, Israel? You getting all this?
