The OpenCores aoOCS SoC is a Wishbone compatible implementation of most of the Amiga Original Chip Set (OCS) and computer functionality.
aoOCS is not related in any way with Minimig - it is a new and independent Amiga OCS implementation.

[...]

Features

The aoOCS SoC contains the following Amiga/OCS components:

o blitter

o copper

o system control (interrupts)

o video: bitplains, sprites, collision detection

o audio: 4 channels, low-pass filter

o user input: PS/2 mouse, PS/2 keyboard and joystick (keyboard arrow keys)

o floppy: read and write ADF files directly from a SD card. Only the internal floppy drive is implemented

o 8520 CIA

o ao68000 OpenCores IP core is used as the aoOCS processor
All of the above components are WISHBONE revision B.3 compatible

The aoOCS contains the following additional components:
SD card controller written in HDL with DMA. Supports SDHC cards only.
10/100 Mbit Ethernet controller written in HDL to send the current VGA frames (frame grabber)
HDL drivers for SSRAM, PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, audio codec, VGA DAC
aoOCS uses only one external memory: a SSRAM with 36-bit words and pipelined access.

A video buffer with about 250KB is located SSRAM.

Another 256KB are used by the ROM. All the rest memory can be used as Chip RAM.

[...]

The video output is VGA compatible: 640x480 at 70 Hz.

A rather simple method is used to extend the 256 PAL horizontal lines to 480 VGA lines: all lines are doubled except for every 8th one.

PDS: Today I was thinking, "you know, I'd like the simplest of simple FPGA soft core VGA cards -- but one with 2D acceleration (bitblt), but more specifically, only the simplest, most common, most used 2D graphics primitives..."

Then I saw this web page on OpenCores...

Then I said to myself, "This makes a lot of sense; instead of having the 'graphics card' (implemented as another FPGA) be separate, why not put it on the same physical FPGA, and that way, it and the CPU (FPGA soft CPU) could share memory, and at least one area of complexity, which is, how data is interchanged with the Graphics Card over a bus -- can be, to a large part, removed, at least in theory..."

That's why I like this soft CPU core -- it does all of that, has a VGA output signal, and the Amiga "blitter" (AKA, "block move", AKA, "2D Graphics Card Accelerator") -- from the days of old...

I like to think of this core not as an Amiga SoC, but rather as an Accelerated 2D VGA card -- with additional "bonus" features (68000, etc.) that makes it Amiga compatible! <g>

Large subs like your r/canada example can and do split. r/unitedkingdom has basically been replaced by r/casualuk in size because a substantial part of its userbase was tired of its constant misery and moaning.
This is one of the best supply chain articles I ever read. Cudos!

As the article is mainly describing the supply chain, I'd like to add some of the challenges, especially downstream / last mile. The Biontech vaccine seems to be a royal pain to distribute. Cold chains are tricky to maintain, let alone at -70 C. Having doses packed in numbers larger than one makes it challenging to vaccinate people at the centers, the unfreezing takes some time, and the vaccine cannot be stored eternally once unfrozen. So you have to closely schedule appointments with the treatment of the vaccine itself for batches of people. Which cannot be allowed to wait in line because of COVID-19. It also means that existing infrastructure, doctors and care and nursing services, cannot be used to get the Biontech vaccine to the people. Yet another pain.

At yet, we are only discussing the purchased doses. Not even the delivery schedules, just the total quantity. As if that was the real bottle neck right now.

I have been a diehard user of the Vivaldi browser for a while now. I just posted the referenced article to their forum stating that Vivaldi should follow suit. Without such support I'll likely change to Brave specifically due to IPFS support.

The internet is in desperate need of decentralization.
IANAL but I don't think this is infringing.

Your allowed to sell Apple Macs and advertise them as "Bob's Apple Mac store" without paying any royalties to Apple.

Similarly, Amazon can deploy the open-source ElasticSearch product, and deploy it, unaltered using the trademark.
It reminds me of an old article from the Journal of Irreproducible Results that posited that the missing limbs from ancient Greek statues could be found having been transplanted (somehow) to Hindu statues.
Very tongue in cheek.... but I have a copy of the rules that I will pull out every time I move house and scan through before putting back into the big box of old games I almost never look at. I cannot believe how much time I spent on Squad Leader in my youth -- not even ASL, the original four box sets. Squad Leader, Starfleet Battles, and AD&D; it is amazing how much of a summer in the mid to late 80s could be occupied by those three and a group of geeks ready to play all day long in someone's basement.
Well .. yes. That's the license fee. If you incorporate Oracle code or Nintendo characters in your software you'll get sued as well. So no you can't use GPLd libraries without contributing forward. This is intentional and the purpose of copyleft.

GPL allows you to "use" but not "make derived works".
They can call it whatever they want but it will need to show huge performance improvements for anyone to actually care.
The answer to flame wars because of too much politicization is fairly certainly not "we need less moderator powers!".
Ugh. I use this behavior for my air mouse so I can assign "Go Back" to one of the buttons.

Well reading to the end fortunately Firefox will have a configuration to restore this behavior.

Nevermind.
Craigslist's unchecked spam, moderation and safety problems have slowly made it unusable. And yes the data does show exactly this. FB Marketplace had 800 million users in 2018 (https://www.cnet.com/news/facebook-marketplace-is-used-in-70...) while Craigslist's revenue has been falling year over year (https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/craigslist-revenue-fe...).

How would going to a beach house contribute to spreading corona? The poster is probably American, so he's most likely going there in a private car. Not to mention that he's almost certainly not infected.

Look at Norway, they have very low numbers, but are not anywhere near this paranoid.
It’s true that many citizens feel little loyalty to their state. I think that’s because the feds are so far beyond their remit that states are left with few options for policy differences that would attract like-minded citizens. We now have different people enacting largely the same federal policies.
I enjoyed moving the 'creativity' slider. That was fun.

> if it is the most accurate way to refer to a good or service without misleading consumers as to its source.

But if you're buying a service from AWS the source is not Elastic.

You might be able to say compatible with elastic search. But using the name in your own product name seems unlikely to hold.

I think this is shortsighted on Amazon's part, because it probably wouldn't cost all that much to make a joint offering.

I would be curious to know where those lawsuits went. Because it seems like something that should have been resolved, and for which you could get an injunction.

The problem is clearly that people think they are getting a service supported by ES, when they are getting a look-a-like copy service. Which is what trademarks are intended to resolve.

In hindsight, maybe it would have worked better for ES, had they called the open source product something else, like how centos isn't called RedHat.
The simple reason - you don't trust the host to keep your content up if it infringe's on anything deem it to infringe upon. 100% would never host anything up there.

Thats a fair assertion. But this whole idea that its all fake news causing people to act this way is itself fake news, most people dont have great lives and then one day just decide to riot because of a news article.

I'm still sad about Conway. He was on my list of people that I was hoping to meet some day.
That headline is certainly inflammatory, but I don't think the actual content of the post is nearly as bad - they're not suggesting web browser start flagging/blocking sites or anything similar like it initially made me think.

They're simply suggesting further transparency in algorithmic suggestions and research be conducted. You could even argue that they're suggesting that deplatforming simply isn't the ultimate solution.
You might need to open-source your entire service.

> Yes, GPLv3 was meant to fight Tivoization, but it never anticipated providers providing services on an OSS product without contributing significantly

Well, the so-called "service provider loophole" was certainly well-known when GPLv3 was drafted. That's why AGPLv2 was created some years prior. IIRC early GPLv3 drafts contained AGPL-style language, but several of the companies involved in the GPLv3 drafting process (such as Google) objected, and those clauses were withdrawn from the final GPLv3.
Not far from the truth! The source dataset was 2.4 million images from Danbooru. If you go to the site, you’ll see that male characters are pretty rare.

They seem to be frequent, but only because there are an ungodly number of submissions to danbooru. Think of it more like “for every male character, there are at least 10+ female characters.”

And it doesn’t help that a lot of the male characters are drawn in a female style...
> Yes, Facebook could subvert the binary by pushing an update. That is the risk you are accepting.

That's exactly the kind of risk you should never accept when it comes to Facebook.
Stoo spreading fake news.

>The first shooting in the protests was by someone driving into a crowd who claimed to have a brother who worked in the east precinct.

Wrong. The first shooting came after an argument between leftists escalated. No vehicle involved.

>The second shooting does not have a clear connection to the protest occupants. The Police chose not to help the shooting victim (and the reason for the shooting is unknown).

Wrong again, it is directly linked because it happened when the protest occupants were marching back from a protest around city hall. Protestors blocked the police and firefighters from entering the area, and once the police made headway, the victim was already moved.

>The third shooting (which occurred outside of the zone) appears to be racially motivated, and according to the victim was allegedly at the hands of a white supremacist. It's unclear if this is related to the second shooting.

Wrong, it was a Black leftist/anarchist that shot himself.

>The sixth and seventh shootings were of two teens who had reportedly driven an SUV through the crowds overnight, including through the park.

Driving a vehicle that was a different make and model, but similar color, and they were killed for it. Two Black teens died because CHOP security extra-judicially shot and killed them because they were misidentified.

Two teens, killed in a no-cop-zone, by "community security", during a protest that was started due to the extra-judicial killings of Blacks... May have been the most ironic moment of 2020.

So, on my counting there were seven shootings:

None of them were racially motivated.

All have direct links to the protest.
Sorry, but this argument is the same reason that dictatorships fails endlessly throughout history.

Sure, you can make an argument that maybe the leaders (in this case mods) will be benevolent and lead fairly and for the betterment of all efficiently. After all, dictatorships are more "efficient" at getting stuff done than democracy (note, not saying GOOD is done, just more efficient when you don't have to consider others concerns but your own).

However, reality is that is never seems to play out that way. Even if it plays out that way for a little while, someone always inevitably joins the higher ranks and abuses that power for their own interests and selfishness.

The same reason this fails in countries is the same reason it fails in online communities where the content is community created. Eventually, someone joins the moderator ranks (if they aren't already their) and starts pushing their own agenda when it comes to removing posts or locking posts.

I think reddit has crossed over into this stage of things on most subreddits at this point. It is clearly a cultural issue with the admins who seem to encourage this behavior, as well as no way for the user base to have any recourse against this abuse of mod power.

Thus, you get endless censorship now on most subreddits now, and no more open discussion on topics where USERS actually get to decide what they get to read or comment on. After all, what is the point of an upvote/downvote button if mods can just override it endlessly and often do?
> What I don't understand is how people still don't know their history, and think this time it's somehow different.

Yes, let's talk about history. Let's see, was there another case study in history where you have a failed coup attempt spurred on by a egotistical leader whose shtick was to scapegoat sections of the population and play "us vs them" politics? How did that turn out?
Depends on how the law is written. Some (but not all) statutes require prosecution to show that defendant knew it was illegal.
Republicans gained 10 seats in the house and lost several in the Senate (and also lost the majority). Typically the house moves away from the President in the first election after they take office, so there is a fair chance that more seats will go Republican in 2022 also.
Do you have any sources for that, or is it just prejudice?

Mozilla's current CEO is like the opposite of what Firefox used to stand for... I can't wait to switch for something better. I think that he really likes the Google dollars.

Disabling most add-ons in Firefox Mobile, really? I still use the old engine (Fennec) even if it probably makes me vulnerable. And there's a bunch of other problems that make the new Fenix engine less useful then Fennec... I don't even know what is supposed to make the new engine better.
fwiw, the healthcare joke was tongue-in-cheek

It was sheer idiocy, and has no place in a sane, decent working environment.
Let me paint a hypothetical.

[...]

Since I'm a startup, I have a small moderation team
and no fancy AI moderation so most of it slips through
the cracks. Is my social network "built to enable
terrorism"?

Not hypothetical to me!

I once ran an for-profit online community. It was a startup, with strictly volunteer moderators. It was an early "social networking" thing; honestly more like "a BBS with some primordial social features". But hey, sounds like your hypothetical to an extent.

This doesn't mean I know anything.

Just means I'm sympathetic to the plight of folks trying to make that sort of thing a reality. For the record, I'd sure like to give it another try at some point myself.

Anyway, intent matters here, to an extent. Parler advertised itself as a more or less moderation-free space.

That's quite different thing from Twitter and FB, with their codes of conduct and actual moderation teams. I mean, the line may be fuzzy, but it's there. I'll be the first person to say that Twitter and FB suck, and moderation efforts for advertising-driven user content mills are probably eternally doomed because their very business model dictates that their user-to-moderator ratio is always going to be laughably huge; far too large to enable effective moderation barring some kind of generational leap in AI moderation tools.

But there is at least the semblance of a good-faith effort there from those two, as much as I dislike them.
What you are describing is sorta already a thing, take a look at sia[0], which is a coin? used to purchase long-term data storage. You can't really scan the chain as far as I understand it but why not host the entire index on sia as well?

> means removing meaningful human authorial input

I don't think anyone ever suggests that weird extreme outside ai-as-art-itself. Usually the idea with ai creation is "would your work be easier if I provided something 90% there that you fix up as needed". People will not get replaced soon, but rather provided with tools like clippy "hey, you're drawing a person, would you like 100 auto-generated running posses that you don't have to draw manually?"
Right, but in that model you got a couple dollars, game stop gets like 5x and the developer loses a sale that would be 10-20x.

Books cost tens of thousands of dollars to make and games cost tens of millions. There would be no video game business like the one we know if they were sold the same way as books. Think about it a second-- your PlayStation game is sold on a piece of media that is proprietary. Are your books sold on proprietary paper made specially difficult to copy?
Yes, Firefox need to focus on a usecase.

It may not be able to beat chromium right now, but a working IPFS and TOR right inside your "vanilla" Firefox would give a compelling reason to keep it, when you can install chromium/chrome/edge and get better features - except this one!
As long as there’s an option to change it back seems good to me, i’ve used that feature unintentionally more often than intentionally

Massive. I have a project that assumed ipfs:// would eventually exist natively within a mainstream(-ish) browser, and I'm very pleased to discover that after updating to 1.19.x it all just works.

Excited for the forthcoming DNSLink support too, even if it's just a bridge to something even better. Best of luck to everyone who wants the web to stay bundled inside of the corporate state.

I don't think the concerns you're bringing up have anything to do with Electoral College, which doesn't care about cities or rural areas and doesn't favor small states in any case. It favors a handful of medium to large states that are seen as battleground states. The swing states that received disproportionate attention in the last election are on average quite a bit more urban than the United States as a whole.

> "...Intel tried to get away from x86 - the iAPX 432, i860, and Itanium all represent varying attempts to achieve that goal."

It's a strange irony that none of these homegrown attempts worked out, but x86 is now threatened by the one external architecture where Intel was a performance leader in 2000-2005 with their StrongARM / XScale chips.

Intel giving up on ARM in 2006 was IMO one of the greatest strategic blunders of all time.
The dataset was 2.4 million images. I assure you that a ~1GB stylegan model isn’t overfitting on that.

The fact that it looks overfitted is a sign that the model is legit. The interpolation videos are much more convincing.

Yeah, it feels bad, e-ink is currently too inaccessible for all but the most dedicated. But at least it's an indication of the beginning of e-ink displays coming to market - albeit it'll be probably a few years before it comes to fruition.

Don't know how to shoehorn this in, but this guy on reddit has taken a deep dive into all e-ink devices for his health (apparently LCD/LED screens cause him chronic pain), and it's been pretty inspiring, to me personally, to keep an eye out on eventually incorporating e-ink into my life. So, depending on your migraines and health prioritization, maybe worth mulling over.

That's fair, and is similar to what I would've written if I'd elaborated more on my "poorly managed state" comment. If you apply good modular/OO principles you at least constrain where state is managed in a way that makes writing, maintaining, and testing your system more tenable without an explicit model.
Well, most of the ones I wanted to play at least. ^_^
Because in this country there are dichotomies. There's my chotomy and the wrong chotomy.

In times of stress people tend more to seek simple answers. I can only assume forcing false dichotomies on everything is a sign that people don't feel secure.
