If Trump's goal isn't to cede most everything to China, he's doing a poor job.

I don't trust the people making the national citizenship list to be honest about it.

Lol.. I wanted "DRM". But it's been a long day.

No way rich people are using this shit on their own kids.

I often wonder about the stuff I write, what becomes of it. It's a little disheartening since I love crafting it for best effect... But especially with computer books for beginners, people prefer to ask AI for the answers instead of studying.

I also just bought 6 sci-fi books from an author I'd never heard of for cheap. I love supporting indy authors, the price was right, and they sold their books directly from the website, no middlemen and no DRM. Perfect.

But was the author real? I actually did a bunch of research to find out their history and all that before pulling the trigger. I really don't want to read AI stories. But I can see a future where the vast majority don't care. Imagine an endless episode of Survivor or a soap opera, completely generated 24x7 forever. You know that shit would be massive.

And there might only be a fringe that seeks human-generated content for the humanity of it.

A trick you can use there is to form the connection with different intent, e.g. to learn more about the field. Maybe it leads to something and maybe it doesn't, but at least you learned something.

I didn't play that one, but I did play the c64 game... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecHVCk_jKdM

Not quite as spectacular. 😅

Yeah, we computer people don't typically count networking as a forté. But I fear that while before the network was merely important, now it could turn into the only thing that matters.

States rights! Lol

Sucks for today's juniors, but that gap will bring them back into the fold with higher salaries eventually.

I'm not worried. The minute the ad blockers stop working I'll finally be able to do something else with my time.

 

Neat article about avoiding a memcpy in a circular buffer.

 

This is a pretty cool analog arcade game. I never saw one when I was a kid... I'd have been hooked.

 

This is an ad for something CT-scan-related, but it contains a good breakdown of how an old car cigarette lighter works. And it has a couple interactive CT Scan explorers past the video.

 

Can be yours for a mere $155,000. (No, I'm not the seller, but I'm curious who is!)
