Real computers pull several kilowatts and can be heard from several rooms away. Real computers need GPU power viruses to even out variations in power draw in order to not take down the grid. Real computers have to have staggered boot sequences to avoid destabilizing the radiation pressure/gravity equilibrium in the Sun.
Apparently the CalDAV server I use, Radicale, can in some circumstances permanently lock up and begin rejecting all requests to add or edit events with a 400 error, which it then doesn't explain due to poorly configured logging, and which then turn out to be buried three layers deep in libraries. In other news, I'm wiping that install and switching to an alternative ideally not written in Python.
Georgism is not going far enough. We need to apply Georgism to the akashic records and all mathematical abstractions in order to land-value-tax domain names, copyright, etc.
This is a very clean explanation of much of the modern media ecosystem: https://cameronharwick.com/writing/high-culture-and-hyperstimulus/. My read is basically that hard-to-replicate entertainment is higher-status because if you enjoy easy-to-produce things you're more open to exploitation (spending too many resources on those easy things).
I love how science fiction authors who are explicitly and intentionally writing an optimistic future apparently cannot imagine a world with reliable, stable, secure software. It's easier to imagine the end of the world humanity as a single-planet species than it is to imagine the end of capitalism broken software.
Collect Arbitrary Points and achievements by doing things on this website! See how many you have! Do nothing with them because you can't! This is the final form of gamification.
It is pitch black (if you ignore all of the lighting). You are likely to be eaten by Heavpoot's terrible writing skills, and/or lacerated/shot/[REDACTED]. Vaguely inspired by the SCP Foundation.
A Reverse Polish Notation (check wikipedia) calculator, version 2. Buggy and kind of unreliable. This updated version implements advanced features such as subtraction.
Your favourite* tic-tac-toe game in 3 dimensions, transplanted onto the main website via a slightly horrifically manual process! Technically this game is solved and always leads to player 1 winning with optimal play, but the AI is not good enough to do that without more compute!
Type websocket URLs in the top bar and hit enter; type messages in the bottom bar, and also hit enter. Probably useful for some weirdly designed websocket services.
We dive into the Ampere AmpereOne A192-32X and discuss what this Arm-based CPU offers, how it performs, and what it means for competition The post Ampere AmpereOne A192-32X Review A 192 Arm Core Server CPU appeared first on ServeTheHome.
Over on her website, Charlie Gerard has uploaded a page showing how she was able to perform a replay attack on a car's wireless entry system using a HackRF and a JavaScript browser app she wrote. Previously, Charlie had already written a JavaScript...
I divided the two-hour AR Roundtable into three parts, with this being the last and, I think, in some ways, the most interesting part. We discussed more of the motivations for Meta and Snap announcing these concept products. Brad shared some...
As a brief cultural note, today, I happened to be looking something up on the Atomic Rockets Future Mythology page, and was reminded of Crazy Eddie.(The one from Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle's The Mote in God's Eye, obviously. Even if, sad to say,...
I spend a lot of time reading about manufacturing and its evolution, which means I end up repeatedly reading about the times and places where radical changes in manufacturing were taking place: Britain in the late 18th century, the US in the late...
