Tah. I’ll have a look see.

Not sure how, or if, I’d want to install an Arch package under Debian, but it’s my understanding that the package I’ve raised a bug for under Debian implements, or is supposed to at least, the functionality you’re describing.

What I haven’t found is a recipe that documents exactly how it’s supposed to work (not to mention, in a Debian way).

I’d love to discover something that doesn’t start with instructions to remove all pipewire packages and install from source, since that completely defeats the purpose of running Debian Stable as the host.

In my adventures I did look at this, but it appears to require that you install support for this inside the guest, which is possible for modern guests, but not for ancient ones like say Debian Wheezy or Win98se.

While I share some, if not most, of your disinterest, it’s probably worth pointing out that while “we” had a Saturn V rocket system and Apollo space program that did, at least superficially the same as Artemis so far, we could not actually repeat a Saturn V launch today, as-in we lost many of those skills and associated experience.

In many ways, Artemis is essentially getting back to where we left off in 1973 with the intention of eclipsing it, but the ongoing NASA budget cuts being perpetrated by the current regime are in my opinion going to curtail the program before too long.

If I recall correctly, after Apollo 11, the TV audiences dwindled for the rest of the program, with a brief spike for Apollo 13, so perhaps there’s an aspect of that to consider.

For me the disappointment was triggered by the poor camera handling during launch, the view of backpacks, food and plushies surrounding CAPCOM at Mission Control, the broken toilet debacle and the heat shield obfuscation, all of which made this less leading edge science and more of a shitshow.

I hope the astronauts land safety in a couple of hours, but I won’t be watching for days like I did for the first Shuttle launch in 1981.

Nobody gets fired for buying IBM … apparently.

CVE: Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures

Microsoft … the perfect incentive to migrate to another operating system.

Or … you could just transport it in an unmarked truck, but then there wouldn’t be this perfect free marketing “opportunity”.

For me, the way to deal with this was to raise my arms above my head in a stretch. Made it stop every time.

Thought I was having a heart attack the first couple of times it happened.

As an adult, I still have them from time to time, but not anywhere as frequently, though still without any warning.

So, why is this being disclosed here and not a CVE reported to Apple?

While contemplating that, my Mac has been up for longer than that and it’s working fine.

The Mac I had before that was up for years, also fine.

So … what is this really about?

What does it matter who invented it?

Bitcoin Bros … yeah, can’t say I considered those but I’d suspect that’s indeed a high probability.

They are deterministic but complex to determine.

The Assumed Intelligence systems I’m familiar with have a “random” element, but it’s unclear where that source of randomness comes from. Is it using a computational random source, or something like the lava lamp wall at Cloudflare, which is significantly more random, potentially actually random.

Interesting concept, no idea if this is sourced or validated, or what the agenda of the publication is.

At this time I suspect that this is a hoax rather than a real news report. That might change with more information.

Better than that, there was Open Source aboard!

That’s not why I made my comment.

I was being serious. For example, the search facilities on the fediverse are rudimentary at best. Finding a post of yours, even if you remember enough of it, is far from trivial. Hosting the content for that reason alone would make a better user experience.

Another consideration is a concept of signal to noise. How much of your contribution to the fediverse would be this data stream, and how much would be other content, like comments and unrelated posts?

Then there’s the resource aspect. Your feed would propagate throughout the fediverse and consume potentially exponentially more resources than a website would and we’d be paying for it, rather than you.

That’s some of the reasons why I made my suggestion.

How about publishing them on a website and making a single post about it here?

Unfortunately the complete article is not available, which is yet another issue exacerbated by the Assumed Intelligence cohort.

While I understand your point, deterministic with a billion variables is beyond human ability to process, let alone the multi-billion parameter models in general circulation today.

At what point does deterministic descend into random?

Assumed Intelligence is a solution for a bunch of multivariate problems, like say “the travelling salesman”, but it’s not intelligence nor in my opinion is it effectively “deterministic”.

Globally we’ve agreed that the ASCII code for a space is 32, 65 for the letter A.

Unicode characters are also globally defined, so when someone uses an agreed upon code, everyone sees the same thing, like this grimace smiley 😁

A private area is a place that we’ve all agreed is for “private use”. If a trademark owner wants to use their special character in their documentation, they can define one area to represent their character, but the only people who will see it in the same way, are people who installed their particular font.

Anyone without that font would see whatever the font on their own machine displayed.

Putting random stuff in such a place is no more than putting gobbledygook in a text and it might even be used as a way to fingerprint text.

I’m not sure what you want to “detect” or “mitigate”.
