So does this mean that housekeeping is conducting covert surveillance? Searching my personal effects? To whom do they report their findings ?

Carmack's Law: If something can run Doom, it eventually will.

I’m sure this won’t come up at all during any litigation…

Can this be marked 2021 ?

Despite my general hatred for printers, pen plotters have a special place in my heart. The mesmerizing way the plot is done or optimized to minimize movement if you’re plotting in E size paper is something to behold. Doing something j conventional is all the better

Shame there was no mention that the Apple ][ launch on June 10, 1977. At least I didnt see anything in the running MacRumors summary.

My Russian is very, very, rusty. Is there a version of this in English ?

What could possible go wrong with this asinine idea.

The is really, really Intersting. I am shocked it saw the light of day outside of Apple.

And I use that daily. It’s the “decent” part I referred to. I have yet to get it to print with HP printers built in the last 5 years. We will see if HP steps up this round …

Curious question. Would a desktop with a really good GPU meet this requirement?

I have the 2023 model. It was basically the arm laptop board in a square case. Expect same. That was a decent box. Slow for x86 but decent enough.

I expect same for this. Biggest issue is going to be Windows and how well PRISM works and how much more of VS and that eco system is weened off emulation.

I like how if you tap any of the images it transforms from an Atkinson dithered image to a a clear colour image. Cool effect.

Honest question. Is there a reason to use md5? Is it just so much faster than alternatives? So many vulnerability scanners for Python, Java , c# look for md5 and flag its use as unsafe.

Also. Since not hashing content and hasing the timestamps wouldn’t you have a greater chance for collisions as files arrive at higher and higher ingestion rates ?

There is a larger discussion on HN already https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40206729

JQuery UI I’d in maintenance mode : only bug fixes and security fixes are addressed, there are multiple CVEs addressed to its date picker in this release. For those that have to be concerned about such things :

CVE-2021-41182

CVE-2021-41183

CVE-2021-41184

Depends on how you use it. My prompt : Review this text for content,structure,style,grammar and spelling list suggestion in bullet form.

ChatGPT just reviews what I write and fixes where my mind wandered off during the process. Now I write more clearly, anticipating where I’m likely to receive feedback.

Until Windows stops treating its users as the product it’s hard to imagine going back. I understand they are going to testing ads in the system menu and with the invasiveness of clippy 2.0 aka copilot I’m too old to put up with bullshit. Maybe I’ve just gotten used to a different kind of abuse from Apple and don’t need any more crap.

Xbox games are all VM images so im not it’s even sure it’s recompiled as much as emulated. All they are probably doing is ensuring compatibility . Dave Cutler said XBox is a variant of hyper-v.

I’d argue the opposite. This happened, as how I understood it when it was explained, is that while code gets lots and lots of eyeballs, non- trivial make files get little to no real review as it’s often hard to reason about them. The exploit took advantage of going where the security was weakest. The more AI is involved in reviewing all aspects the better off the process will be, especially the tedious and boring parts of all this.

I expect we will see a spate of security bots looking at all manner of things in the process as a reaction to all this.

Ken Thompson’s issues with trust will still apply. However these issues are with us with or without AI being employed.

Hmm. I just got new cards from 3 different chartered banks since last summer. Will say that silver on the numbers of all of them is just about worn off

What is the proposition for this case? With this much volume i'd be looking for the ultimate pi 5 that has:

1) Modular water cooling option (probably in the bottom)

2) UPS system middle

3) Easy mount of pi5 and NVME in the top

4) Easy way to keystone the gpi and other ports to a convenient shield on teh back ?

Jay miner who lead the design team for the Atari 8-bit series went on to design the Amiga chipset.

The patent that drives this :

Method for seeding a pseudo-random number generator with a cryptographic hash of a digitization of a chaotic system

very nice. I hadn’t seen that expansion set. Cool. I expect the customs market will definitely contribute to the official sets.

What I have read elsewhere is there are 6 adventurer characters and 3 Skelton “freebies” and a couple of micro figures. It is somewhat irregular since the minifigs often drive the sale of a particular set.

Annoying. Yesterday the product page said it came with 5 minifigures. Today it shows 6. But in all the promo images on the site and in this article I think I’m up to 9 or 10. I think it’s going to be hard to play a game with so few figures.

Most Americans probably became aware of this when it was used in 1984’s Ghostbuster's

This is great. Lots of feedback and info sharing from everyone’s collective knowledge base. Lot of feedback from thr grey beards around in the retro era eg 1980-1990 and those who are on the bleeding edge inventing the future. Good job. Keep going.

1) If a technology didn’t exist. I’d make the bar black / grey. The pedants will hound you to death

2) A means to see the trend of a given feature on log plot if necessary. Eg Memory access 1980-2030 is interesting.

3) An info icon on the bar (i in a circle) to get details about the measurement. Disks seek for example is pegged at 1ms because it’s where mechanical disks have limits. If so is it track to track or full stroke seek ?
