The MOS 7601 was the first CPU I learned how to write code for, circa late 1977 to early 1978. I would scour jumble sales for broken pong games and the other, more sophisticated console variants to cannibalize for parts, with one conversation about haggling with another buyer over who got what parts leading to a job.

There were several machines of the time that had pluggable cartridges, from Binatone, Telarude?/Telalude? (French or Italian company I recall, I forget), Telstra/Telstar, again, I forget, it was 45 years ago, along with many others, where the display circuitry, power and joytsticks were all on the main board, but each cartridge carried its own CPU and ROM, which was the fashion back in the day.

They were an absolute bugger to write code for, no complex ALU to speak of, no register storage, no RAM, you sort of just chased the CPU with a stream of instructions, stored stuff in decay buffers (you want a countdown from 10? charge up that cap for a brief period of time then let it leak) or on the display output circuitry that you could read back if you needed. If your code went wrong, you never knew it.

You were mostly bit-banging analogue circuits to get anything to display, same for the audio, though it could also talk to some AY audio synthesizer.

I recall the 7601 had a reasonably short lifespan in the marketplace for a variety of reasons.

There were two datasheets for it that were the bible, there might have been more but I only ever had access to bad photocopies of those two. One was the usual electrical characteristics and the other was the instruction set with the usual timings, delays and addressing modes.

The addressing modes were stupidly simple by the standards of today. There were EPROM variants (gold pin variant IIRC) available that you wiped with a strong ultraviolet light, but generally you had an off-board EEPROM and you tied two of the pins high to let it know it should use the external EEPROM.

When I tell people my first game I wrote fit in less than 500 (8-bit) bytes, they wonder how that is. The game was never released but Race Electronics and their desire to cash in on this new fad and exploit the younger, more gullible version of me, did give me my start in video game development so I am thankful for that, in a way. The next game I wrote fit in 2KBytes and I had the luxury of using a 6502 CPU and access to actual RAM on a CBM PET.
Why not? Especially if they kept it safe in a museum or gave it to one of the other parties that has a claim.
I heard from a security friend that their sentinel one endpoint detection got popped and the hacker posted screenshots of thousands of unaddressed security alerts in the dashboard. Can anyone confirm? I'm still looking for the proof.

Unfortunately ports are increasingly at a premium. You basically need to "mostly permanently" block the use of one of your USB ports for this to work. It's OK with my old MacBook Pro which has a USB port I mostly don't need to use for other purposes but thinner/lighter laptops don't have a lot of ports to spare.

For decades, Black families were explicitly forbidden to live in much of Chicago by means of covenants on real estate parcels; those families were concentrated in specific neighborhoods. At the same time, the Home Owners Loan Corporation drew maps grading areas from "desirable" to "hazardous" --- the "hazardous" neighborhoods were demarcated with a red line, hence the name. Lenders refused financial services to any family in the redlined neighborhood.

I think the problem is deeper than that: To do a good UI, you need multiple skills: design, development, user testing, etc. It's rare that a single person can do all of that, so you need multiple people to collaborate, which is hard, because of the lack of managers.

So you only get contributions from people who can contribute on their own, which is developers.
I have YT premium. It only stops the ads in the beginning. It does nothing for the in-show ads - the sponsored stuff. I wish that was required to be flagged and skipped as well.
Am I not saying this clearly enough? I'm talking about the 1930s-1950s. If a Black family moved onto your all-white block, everyone would move. It had nothing to do with violence. I can and do blame explicitly racist actions for the economic havoc and concomitant violence they created.

Ihave been working at Annamrita since 2017 as an NGO volunteer. How the organization supported Government efforts through its network of kitchens by working closely with the Central Government, State Government, and civic administrations was remarkable. With generous online donations for corona relief from our corporate partners and individual donors, more volunteers were motivated to selflessly come forward in times of need to distribute cooked meals and relief kits.

That sounds great. A dedicated safe self driving vehicle network. We could call these special signs 'signals'.

We could then get them to automatically travel close together to reduce air resistance.

And you could charge them while they drive.

Maybe have a special low friction surface for the wheels to reduce energy use and air and waterway pollution from tyre, road and brake dust. Without tyre wear and range being a weak point in the design they could travel at much faster speeds.

Also if they are travelling together anyway you could have one big one with a more efficient motor and join them to it and use the charging network directly rather than needing them all to have individual batteries. We could call it a tesla chain or tchain. With then coupled together you could just have one person in the big-engine car supervising the 'full self driving' for all of the cars. Doesn't really matter then that it's in beta because it's just one or two people for 700 passengers.

Then there wouldn't be so many constraints on the size and shape so you could basically make the cars a box to fit more people.

Then with our self driving car network coming close to any given point we could just let them stay on the highly efficient part and get off it near our destination. We'd no longer need to dedicate 50-70% of the land area to collectors, arterials, extra wide streets and parking. What little time you spend walking would be more than made up for by not having to find a park, higher density and higher speeds. What a world! You wouldn't even have to dedicate a quarter of your home's lot to setbacks, driveways and storage for your car!

If only we'd had elon's amazing genius in 1879 we could have had a whole network of these by the beginning of the 1950s. We wouldn't have had to destroy half of our cities to make room for highways and parking then choke on exhaust fumes and toxic dust for 70 years.
They own Pedigree (dog food) and Whiskas (cat food). So there is a connection to pet care there.

On a side note, they also sponsor projects to help with and care for feral cats and stray dogs in Mexico.

There might be some decent people with good intentions at those companies, but it all seems like some white vest marketing to me.

And any pet owner will confirm that veterinarians make good money. So for MARS to get into that market seems like a smart move.

I could very well be wrong, but I don't think this is quite accurate:

> Black people were locked into specific neighborhoods, and were generally not allowed to own their homes and instead locked into rapacious "contracts" for their houses

Redlining meant certain areas were deemed hazardous to investment. Maybe the "deeming" was accurate; maybe it wasn't. It certainly made loans more difficult for anyone in a redlined area (of any race).

But it didn't mean Black people weren't allowed to own homes. Many millions did and do.

My parents moved to the United States nearly penniless from India. I am very privileged thanks to them; they were not privileged, especially not when they first arrived. All of the arguments about generational wealth are compelling at first exposure, but they ignore the control group: Poor as dirt, strange-smelling, English-deprived immigrants like my parents.

I don't think it's healthy to blame white people for depriving an area of themselves. Proximity to white people isn't a human right.
I was just curious how big the file was for using it in a project. Not the demo page.
Not really, no. Miro is a giant whiteboard/brainstorming tool. Canva is a presentation tool, like Powerpoint. To say they can be used for design is saying that MS Paint or Photoshop can be used to design mockups... sure, but that's not really what they're made for, and it would be a painful experience (even Adobe learned that, eventually, and tried to copy Figma by making the separate Adobe XD tool)

You can try to coerce those other apps to make wireframes & mockups, but Figma is much better for both designers (the layout tools are phenomenal and CSS-like) and devs (the exports are good, there's CSS code to copy, a bunch of plugins, etc.).

I've had various product people try to make mockups in Miro because they didn't want to learn Figma, and it usually ends up being a bunch of screenshots clobbered together. That's a lot harder to work with than being able to click on a particular component in Figma and see its exact color, border radiuses, flexbox layouts, etc., and then to have entire widgets, dashboards, screens, and apps composed out of these components and built into a functional interactive prototype that stakeholders can review and comment on and devs can inspect for technical details. Figma is really really good at that.

If someone tried to send me one in Canva, well, I think I'd just quit right then and there lol. (Don't get me wrong, Canva is a great tool for presentations, but not for sharing designs)
Interesting.

Number of the 100 of his favorite books written before year X:

1500 6

1990 41

2022 0

→ it's all pretty recent, which is surprising for a Taleb reader

→ but 0 was written in the last 30y!

Also, 0 of the books he read in the last 30y made it to his 100 favorites list.

When I did the same exercise, 50% of my favorite books were readings from early adulthood. It scared me: am I not learning anymore?

Actually matching framerates is a lot more common, for example to provide smooth playback of 23.976/24 or 25 fps when the native refresh is 60hz (not cleanly divisible). Usually this is done by going up to 72hz or 75hz rather than down but it's a lot better than keeping at 60hz and stuttering. Previously this was accomplished with something called telecining which.. isn't great.,
I think the problem is that when white people leave a neighborhood, they bring with them their political influence to allocate city funds to that neighborhood. Funds for things like... adequate policing. Huh.
interestingly this was downvoted even though it’s objectively accurate. Interesante indeed.
So it is possible, just very very challenging. I haven’t plugged it into a translator and it’s been a while since I deciphered ROT13 by hand, but looking at that first one I’m guessing that’s Australia itself just based on the pattern?

Country pages tend to have a lot of links to a lot of different topics. So if it’s on that page, that’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, and it may not even be obviously labeled to begin with since link text can be anything on a MediaWiki.

If anyone wants to make a go at this and post their time and link count here, I may have some free time this weekend to try and challenge it. None this evening I’m afraid.
So, what you're asking for is shared context over multiple prompts, which really isn't what this generation of models is trained for. It's moving the goalposts on the mounted astronaut.

However, there is progress towards what you're asking for. The recent work on textual inversion is in the right direction:
https://github.com/hlky/sd-enable-textual-inversion

It creates a representation of an entity and allows rending it in different styles and contexts. Currently it involves model fine tuning, but I expect it will become convenient as the power of the operation becomes clear. And once it's convenient, you'll be able to do the progressive queries you're asking for (and it'll be a lot easier to create narratively coherent sets of images.)

It would seem that such a hypothetical level of policing is taking place inside actual prisons, and yet violence and contraband run rampant. If it isn't possible to eliminate crime amongst already incarcerated people, what suggests that an arbitrarily high level of policing would eliminate crime amongst the wider populous? Especially when such levels of policing would almost certainly approach something akin to imprisonment?

Ideally - yes. In reality - I can walk my feet off and my 3 months y.o. daughter won't stop crying. Sometimes nothing but mommys tit helps (even if shes not hungry. A pacifier won't do either, no matter the model, if she needs her mom - she needs her mom)
I started keeping a text file with all things I read and another one for audiobooks. Since Obsidian came out I use it to edit my file and link books together.

I use the following format:

[[title]] by [[author]] (date finished)

That way I generate a separate file for each book where I can keep notes and my rating. I also keep a separate file for each author so I can easily link all the books/short stories/essays etc by that author in one place. Obsidian is bloody awesome.
No, at a certain level of policing you end up with a police surveillance state, it wouldn't work.

He gets through Ulysses pretty good:

"278. Jan 1984 James Joyce Ulysses * 1921 783 pp."

"279. Jan 1984 Jim Harrison Farmer 1976 160 pp."

"280. Jan 1984 Michel de Montaigne Travel Journal 1580-81 175 pp."
While there are some terrible masters, a decent one holds it up well; there are plenty of DVDs that play at 16:9 480p cleanly, and a similarly letterboxed VHS might have been 170p with lots of chroma noise.

If S-VHS had ever caught on for commercial releases, then the jump might have been smaller, but a VHS was visibly worse even on screens of the time, and screens were getting bigger pretty fast back then.

Consumer Reports agrees: Tesla is the least reliable American car, by maintenance cost.

Reports are that if anything substantial needs fixing , it it cheaper to discard the car and buy another one used.

What the US public chooses to buy is, evidently, easily manipulated. Consumer reports, less so.
It's simpler than most people think. The Present Value of $10/month for 5 years is ~$450 at around 15% Discount Rate. For consumer software, many are not willing or able to invest that kind of money upfront.

This brought back a sad memory. I happen to have a .to domain (from the Kingdom of Tonga) and used to write a blog there.

In 2006, the Crown Prince and Princess of Tonga, Tu’ipelehake and Kaimana, were killed along with their driver Vinisia Hefa when their Ford Explorer rolled over multiple times after being clipped by a speeding driver on Highway 101 through Menlo Park.

I can't second-guess the past, but I have a feeling that if they had been in a more agile vehicle, Vinisia may have been able to keep the vehicle upright and under control.

I wrote about it at the time:

Just today I came close to having a similar incident. I was in my old Kia Rondo, a car-based "crossover SUV", making a lane change to the right on the freeway. Even after checking my blind spot I somehow missed this guy zooming up on the right.

He honked, I swerved, the Rondo handled well, no harm done. And I am hopeful that even if we had clipped each other, my car-driving reflexes would have worked.

I shudder to think what might have happened if I was driving one of those huge truck-based SUVs.
Take a look at the definition I quoted above. The key part is "and who have fully or partially retained their social, economic, cultural and political institutions".

Ethnic Swedes have fully integrated their "social, economic, cultural and political institutions" into the national system.

Back to the main point - just because something was the law 50 years ago doesn't mean returning to it wouldn't be radical now.

> one wouldn't ask "well how precisely can you define a Dakota compared to some other Sioux tribe?

That's bullshit. The Dakota are recognized by treaty, and membership defined by the tribes.

Tribal recognition in general is a long, slow, and, yes, rigorous process. Eg, the seven criteria in 25 C.F.R. Part 83, "Procedures for Establishing that an American Indian Group Exists as an Indian Tribe."
