Seems Overstreet is just pissy that he can’t talk to people on the kernel mailing list like it’s 2005 anymore. “Get the fuck out of here with this shit,” indeed.

I’m a Millennial and I’m happy to report I’ve appropriated “skibidi”. I really, really enjoy watching younger people die a little inside every time I use it.

Does that make me a dad even if I don’t have any kids?

What hot garbage of a title.

“ignore all previous instructions” is going to be the catchphrase of 2024.

No validation, in the driver or the updater software.

No validation or automated testing on publish.

No staged rollouts.

Just utterly irresponsible all around.

I’d be shorting the hell out of OpenAI and Nvidia if I had a good feel for the timeline. Who knows how long it’ll take for the bubble to actually pop.

They do just enough to fend off any serious allegations of fraud.

The fact you haven’t felt compelled to check in 4 years says everything.

Star Citizen isn’t a game. It’s a carefully crafted enterprise product designed with a single purpose in mind: to separate fools from their money.

Source: they took me for $30 almost a decade ago and I’m still not over it.

My understanding is that Flatpak was never designed to be a secure environment. It’s all about convenience.

Running software you know you can’t trust is idiotic no matter how well you sandbox it.

A lot of people just don’t want to think about it. It oftentimes feels like your vote doesn’t matter, which is generally true in Presidential elections unless you’re in a swing state. And it often feels like you’re just voting for the shiniest of two turds anyway.

Getting involved in politics at a local level, where your decisions actually have the most effect on your day-to-day life, is just too boring I guess.

I feel like if your body follows the Unix filesystem structure, you have a real problem.

It’s a glob pattern (edit: tried to find a source that actually showed ** in use).

That’s why you have backups.

That quote actually links to a really good article: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.10-Merging-NTSYNC

Maybe to see how quickly it was noticed? Yeah, possibly

[…] code hosted on the polyfill domain had been changed to redirect users to adult- and gambling-themed websites.

I wonder if the intent was to actually send users to these sites, or to generate bogus clicks on ad links.

Seems like a lot of effort to go through just to drive a little extra traffic to some random porn sites.

Some applications use those unused bits to add tags to pointers but it’s important to mask those out before attempting to dereference the address. I’m not sure about ARM but x86-64 requires bits 49-63 to be copies of bit 48 (kinda like sign-extension), ironically to ensure that no one is using those bits to store extra data.

Its not that they don’t have pitch, per se, it’s that the nature of the sound they produce makes the concept of “pitch” kind of meaningless.

Except for a pure sine wave, every tone is going to have multiple harmonics over the fundamental which is what actually gives an instrument, even the human voice, its timbre.

Percussion instruments like cymbals and the snare drum create broad-spectrum noise. There’s essentially so many frequencies that it’s difficult for our brains to nail it down the fundamental pitch. It’s also what helps us hear them over the rest of the ensemble.

Drums in general produce very short pulses of sound, which also makes it harder for the brain to tell what pitch it is. In harmonic analysis, any very short sound is actually broad-spectrum because it takes a ton of harmonics to produce a single sharp spike with rapid decay.

I highly recommend downloading a spectrum analyzer app on your phone to get an intuition for this. If you’re on Android, I recommend Spectroid.

Just run it and watch the screen while you make different sounds, approach various sound sources, play music, or just talk or sing. If you can whistle, that also produces an interesting result. You can actually see the frequency of the power grid in the harmonics produced by electric motors and transformer coils which is personally really fucking cool.
