That was my thought as well. He's known for trying out lots of wacky random mods, so one could imagine a case where he believes the runs were legit, but actually he had left a mod enabled by mistake, or similar.

Or (much less plausibly), it's at least superficially possible that there could be some minecraft bug related to mod handling, such that his game client wasn't in a vanilla state even though he really had removed all non-standard mods.
> The sound change -hon to -ppon and similar sound changes are not actually regular in Japanese -- there's not a clear phonological rule for them.

There is a loose rule for compound word contractions (adding tenten to the first letter of the second word), e.g. "sakura" gains a tenten in "senbonzakura". However, as you said, this is not universally the case. For example, "ehon" (lit. drawing book) is simply "e" (drawing) + "hon" (book), not "ebon".

By the time you actually get those products on the shelves, Ethereum will either be on Proof of Stake, in an ice age, or less valuable than now.

And thus the GPU shortage will end.

In 1-2 years we might see 5nm GPUs, and so the gulf between a 14nm GPU and the latest GPU (even if you can't find them on shelves) will be even greater.

Its more realistic for GlobalFoundries to consider opening a new factory with 10nm/7nm, especially if they can pickup established knowledge and hardware from other players.

Regards pre-Snowden, the situation was far more than an "open secret", there were multiple documented projects and methods employed. Among them:

- 2013: Hemisphere, an AT&T call records database dating to the 1980s accessible by the US DEA. (This was publicised near-simultaneously with Snowden's own 2013 disclosures.) https://www.eff.org/cases/hemisphere

- 2006: Mark Klein and the Room 641A revelations concerning AT&T's beam splitters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A

- 2005, William Binney and J. Kirk Wiebe, NSA whistleblower, warrantless surveillance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Binney_(intelligence_o...

- 2004, Russell Tice, NSA surveillance including of congressional members. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2006/01/why-nsa-whistle-...

There were very strong suspicions around the TIA (total information awareness) and USA PATRIOT ACT (2003, 2001). I recall much chatter about this at the time, and the related FISA court, though little by way of specific details of technological measures and methods involved.

Carnivore, a WinNT workstation-based tool, disclosed ~2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore_(software)

There are telephnic data retention programmes, including MAINWAY (revealed in 2006), containing an estimated over 1.9 trillion call-detail records, and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAINWAY

Project ECHELON, with disclosures of varying aspects from 1972 -- 2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON

There are earlier periods, notably addressed by the FBI's own COINTELPRO archives (https://vault.fbi.gov/cointel-pro), though for my purposes I'm considering "modern" projects to be circa 1990 onwards. (COINTELPRO and the Church Committee hearings resulted in substantial changes, at least publically, to US domestic surveillance).

And I've compiled a long list of pre-1990 references of concerns regarding significant technologists who'd warned of the risks of information technology as a tool of surveillance and control, largely as no such list seemed extant: https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/105074933053020193

I'm well aware that documentation of clandestine and national security issues is difficult to come by, see the TK case for one reason why that is.

But that's also why specific documentation is so valuable and why I'd requested that.
All these tools sometimes lead to more time spent organizing tasks then actually getting them done.

I think an older GPU would definitely be useful. Used GTX 1080 cards (I picked one up used for C$375 back in September) are listed for C$750-850 where I live. I'm not as familiar with AMD's products but I think 1-2 generation old GPUs would definitely have high demand until current gen ones are more available.

True. I agree with your sentiment and very unlikely touch the stock even if they go much lower than 3B. But sales and marketing expenses is something they can cut down once they reach a certain size. Cost of revenue and R&D expenses seem great.
If it's Intel-compiled apps, it's also that Rosetta is translating them to run on M1 when they're first run, as I understand it.

As mentioned in the article, they have to be extremely careful to keep the local authorities off their backs. Thus, they are not really into taking chances in that way. Having Russian language installed at all is so rare in US/UK/etc, they they are unlikely to change this strategy. Finding the real location of systems is very hard to do.
It's not alarming, it's merely despicable. It shouldn't alarm (which requires surprise) anybody given the condition of the rapidly collapsing culture in the US, it should be entirely expected at this point. It's pop culture narcissistic sleeze taken to the next level. It'll keep going, keep getting worse, until society has had enough and begins to reject it. Take this thing and make it worse, take it up a notch, someone will eventually find success with that, and so on it will spiral.

Until then, the US will continue to plumb the depths of how far a culture can erode before a bottom is discovered.

The more realistic scenario where it might actually make a difference is DJs playing on huge high-end club soundsystems where compression artefacts might not only effect what you can hear, but the reverberations you can physically feel, and where there might be post-processing effects applied to the source material that show up the compression artifacts.
The modern Linux stack allows non-root users to access these if they're "bound" to the right 'seat' and 'session' in the freedesktop-derived multiseat infrastructure. AIUI, this is how non-root X works as well.

I switched to Apple Music 2 years ago when my hard drive failed.
At the beginning it was alright, very convenient to have (almost) everything available on hand, in the same app as before.
But now I can't stand it anymore. I have so many albums that randomly split all the time, version of tracks that change or become unavailable altogether.
I'm moving away from streaming and am working on building back my music library (that I will be owning for good).

Reflow [1] is a similar attempt at a slightly different domain: bioinformatics and ETL pipelines. Reflow exposes a data model and programming model that reclaims programmability in these systems, and, by leaning on these abstractions, gives the runtime much more leeway to do interesting things. It unties the hands of the implementer.

Indeed it does. Well there you go, I'm full of sh*t because having just checked a few of our Go projects, they're all Tab indented. My editors use tabs when editing Go files, and spaces for others. YAML for example uses spaces.

I guess it's so well handled, and transparently so that I hadn't even realised.

Also the spaces thing was a joke, I don't tell my team to uses spaces or tabs, I just tell them to follow the Go programming standards/guidelines when writing Go.
Not only is everyone different, but we have different needs at different times. My partner and I use shared audio infrequently, but when we need it, we need it.

OmniFocus has a similar thing, with a standalone “Enterprise” edition (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/omnifocus-3-enterprise/id14847...), where IAP is replaced with an upfront price. I believe it’s because schools can get a volume discount on paid apps but not IAP, and Omni says it “simplifies deployment” for enterprise users.
I wonder if the increase in ADHD diagnoses can be tied to school becoming more focused on sitting still in a room for a long period of time. At least for me, I was doing really well in school when classes were ~50 minutes, and some included phsical activity like shop class and home economics. In my junior year of high school, they switched classes to 90 minutes, you took different classes on different days, and none of my classes included physical activities. My grades plummeted after the switch, and I ended up getting diagnosed with ADD when I was struggling with college in my mid-20s.

Apple Platform Security (May 2021) [pdf]
Isn't the case with something like signals is that it needs to simply be left as is and instead a new API for interprocess communication be developed alongside?

It seems pretty clear that they're used for way more than originally expected (did threads even exist when signals began?) - and I suspect a number of systems use other communication paths already.
JAR files are ZIP archives, so any Java web server packed into a single JAR is such a thing, to an extent. I don't know of any server which actually makes use of that fact to serve compressed content, but it wouldn't be hard to do.
3D has tons of drawbacks though -- the image is less than half as bright, glasses are clunky and not used for anything else, there's still serious ghosting effects. It's really half-baked, alas. Also there's only a tiny fraction of content in 3D. (The best way to view 3D movies, funnily enough, is in a virtual theater on the Oculus Quest 2.)

Spatial audio is different. It has zero downsides over existing headphones, and nearly all movies and TV episodes are mastered in 5.1 so the source signal is everywhere.

And it's not meant for a shared experience. That's what actual surround speakers in your living room are for. But these days tons of movies and TV are consumed privately with headphones, and so spatial audio simply recreates a similar surround experience on the headphones you're already using.

So I think it's pretty different -- just a pure positive upgrade. It doesn't have tradeoffs like 3D does.

My ex business partner (the ideas guy), loved it. I think he saw so many ads for it that he got brainwashed.

That is some of the reasoning behind the US Constitution. Federalist 9 and 10 address the effectiveness of direct democracy at a small scale and the utter failure that direct democracy is at a large scale. Once you get past a tribe size, opposing factions come into play. Factions are not bad but direct democracy at scale leads to the largest faction ruling over all. Ideally, all factions come to a consensus on what is best for all instead of fighting for total control.

It's complicated. Being in the input group is part of it, but to actually get the access you need to interface with the freedesktop-derived multiseat stack, which is as clunky as everything else that comes from the fd.o folks.
Background: in the Star Trek series Deep Space 9, some of the bad guys are an expansionist empire led by shapeshifters who've bred a race of perfectly loyal super-soldiers whose loyalty is ensured, in part, by an inborn need for a substance called Ketracel-white, which substance is very difficult to synthesize, so they're dependent on their overlords for a consistent supply, else they get sick and die. It's basically the lysine deficiency from Jurassic Park, but for humanoids.

There's also an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation in which one alien planet has hooked a second alien planet's entire population on addictive drugs, having convinced the addicts that withdrawal symptoms are a terrible, incurable disease that the drugs are treating.
True, but the same applies to physical jobs.

And you'd think that you "exercise" at work, but no, using the same muscles over and over again for 8-12 hours a day seems to have different effects than exercising properly for 1-2 hours a day.

Exercising in the morning and then going to the job made me feel much better, but after a while I was too tired to wake up.

After a day of mental work, biking, stretching and basic exercises (no weights or anything) is "low effort", sort of, because it's the brain that's tired but the muscles are fine. It's hard to start, but I feel refreshed after ~30 minutes.

But yeah, 50-60 hours a week is just bad, no matter what job it is.
AMD PRO Manageability: https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/security-manageability

Tools for DMTF Dash:
https://developer.amd.com/tools-for-dmtf-dash/

There are both CLI tools (including for Linux), a Windows AMD Dash Management UI, as well as Microsoft SCCM plugins. The virtual desktop is basically a VNC server. The only real implementer at this point seems to be RealTek, so you only have the AMD Dash functionality I believe through the onboard RealTek NIC. You can enable Dash in the BIOS. You also need to update the DASH firmware of the RealTek network card to enable DASH to truly work. That's software you can get through a OEM (like HP or Lenovo) from their support downloads.

I've tried it. I can power off, restart, go into the BIOS, have USB pass-through for installing an OS, and VNC in. It's not anywhere as good as Intel vPro, but it works.
The original ttys were literally Teletypes https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/picture.html designed to send text directly to another Teletype over a phone line.

I found this a long time after it actually happened, and long after whatever logs from the actual event were gone. When I found it, all nodes claimed they were out of sync, and all of them were complaining that they wanted to sync the folder "Backgrounds" but that it didn't exist on any online node. None of the machines had a folder named "Backgrounds" or "backgrounds" anymore.

I imagine what happened is that this was somehow related to the fact that the PC and Mac have case-insensitive file systems, and the Linux machine does not. Somehow one of these machines renamed the folder (I have no idea how this could have happened). I would hazard to guess that SyncThing on one of the nodes (probably Linux) decided it needed to delete the "backgrounds" folder because it no longer existed, and then sync the new "Backgrounds" folder. If deleting the "backgrounds" folder was synchronized back to the PC or Mac though, they would have also deleted the "Backgrounds" folder, since in case-insensitive-land, they're the same folder.

I went digging through their github at the time to see if there was an issue about case sensitivity and didn't find anything that was relevant and open. I didn't have a lot to go on, and my attempts to recreate it failed at the time, so I didn't bother opening an issue. It's entirely possible my specific issue is fixed by now.
