somebody in the comments mentioned this is a point where the AI glitched out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puRg-4ZvNYs&t=150

They'll also need it to track down terrorists. And who determines who is a terrorist? Why, the department of justice does.

He's describing my great grandmother's childhood in territorial Arizona, down to the riding a horse to a one-room school house. Her family were all tough ranchers living a lifestyle most of us can't really comprehend.

My mother and step-father were both state cops. They put in about 30 years each, but could have retired after 20 years in. They make more in retirement than my wife and I do. It pays quite well, but it comes with significant risks.

I imagine it would be a big lift. Asahi linux is managing through reverse engineering the hardware support, without any official documentation. Even with official documentation it would be a significant change from other aarch64 hardware.

I taught myself to juggle in a weird way. I had 3 lightweight plastic cubes, laid down on the bed, and began tossing them directly over my head (my hands on either side of my head). I think it gave me a good sense of where each cube was at all times.Once I got good at juggling supine, I just transitioned to sitting up straight.

Reminds me of stumbling across the Harvard Mark I, which is about 1-2 years older, while wandering through the Harvard Science Center (as one does). By far the oldest computer I've seen in person. Seems they moved it since then to the Science and Engineering Complex.

This paper describes the front end of SETI@home and provides parameters for the primary data source, the Arecibo Observatory

Most of this data was recorded commensally at the Arecibo observatory over a 22 yr period

Interesting as Arecibo collapsed in December of 2020. It sounds like they have a lot of data to still churn through.

"We agreed on a 150-day disclosure window". Isn't that longer than Google Project Zero gives to release fixes?

I remember getting floppy disks in magazines, I've used cassette tapes with a Commodore 64, I also remember flexidiscs for music, but I've never heard of the flexidisc as a software medium. Where was this?

I found a reference to a Thompson Twins game distributed by flexidisc in the UK.

Not directly related to this, but you can use systemd-creds to store secrets at rest. It can even work with a tpm2 chip or a key file to encrypt the secrets.

And then use these tips for when you want to interactively reference those stored secrets.

No half life 3 released?

I agree that LVM in HP-UX was far ahead of Linux back in the day. To be fair some of those advanced features in HP-UX LVM required an additional license (eg: mirroring required Enterprise Operating Environment). I haven't touched HP-UX in like 10 years however.

Chuckling at the disclaimer 'No AI made by a human.' I doubt many web devs could tell you that because so many use AI now. I was speaking with a web dev this summer and he told me AI made him at least twice as productive. It's an arms race to the bottom imo.

Sad you have to come to the bottom of the comment section to find any criticism of DHH. I wouldn't do business with the guy, nor use his OS.
