I just checked and they actually disabled AI Overview. LMAO

You’re remembering correctly, every other logic gate can be built from NAND gates, which is the foundation of this sort of minimal-instruction-set exercise. Beyond that, you need to be able to move data and change your program counter (jump, often conditionally). Then, if you want parity with modern instruction sets beyond just being turning complete, you need return and interrupt for control flow.

lol why?

Bookmarking your comment so I can come back to it in a couple hours, if I hopefully remember to.

But yes, almost. I don’t think the interrupt is necessary and the return isn’t under certain architectures. I have a doc on my computer somewhere where I was investigating what the absolute minimum was to make a turning complete machine and, to my recollection, there was only 4-6 instructions that were absolutely necessary. The ones I remember off the top of my head are NAND, MOV, JUMPIF, and then I believe I included NOP in accordance with some principle. RET and INT were convenience features in this design.

there is an additional layer to this joke for those who understand turing completeness. And it elevates it to a whole other level of snark.

Let me reiterate: I have seen worse.

In fact, Disney once paid a lot of money for a game with even less concept art and design. Unsurprisingly, this game was never released and very little record of it remains. And when I say it was worse. For those who think they know: yes, I’m talking about the viking bears.

You know what’s ironic about all this is, as someone who has seen game dev pitches (not good ones), they arguably had their shit together more than most aspiring game devs. Looking back at the skeletals, ya know they actually may have had a chance of getting somewhere. They knew absolutely nothing about the technical side, but hardly any game devs actually do. They probably still stand a better chance today of developing this than some game studios asset-mashing in Unity or Unreal. That’s the true state of game dev.

Then created a GitHub account to post three separate issues complaining about how the project’s executable is an obvious Trojan, patting themself on the back for keeping the community safe with their expert sleuthing.

Thank you for providing that context, I saw nothing about that in my (brief, limited) search. The quote felt incomplete, but it was more than enough for me to find news articles providing extra context. Here’s the full tweet, for anyone at OOTL as I am:

“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors… even by children.

Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?”

My understanding has now shifted to that she could have been implying Republicans were being treated like Holocaust victims, which is patently absurd. But before even recognizing this, it struck me that the passage she quotes is accurate: history is edited, and the German public was propagandized into treating Jews as the enemy to nurture complicity for their genocide.

That’s not to say I agree with her, because not all identity politics are equal: someone being attacked for their religious beliefs, race, or heritage is much different from someone being attacked for their political views. But, it still remains that nobody should be attacking anybody in a civil political setting. Meaning nobody should be storming any government buildings, nobody should be showing up to election sites with guns, nobody should be picket lining a Planned Parenthood, and nobody should attack anyone based on their identity (which does not include their actions).

IANAL (obviously)… (IAONAL?)

• Every headline I’ve read about this says Musk is funding it.
• Every article I’ve read says X is funding it, to make good on Elon’s promise that the company would fund legal battles for those discriminated against for their behavior on the platform
• Neither X nor Musk are defendants
• The complaint does however feature Pedro Pascal meming on the 45 IQ crowd
• The complaint also features an example of Pedro Pascal in 2020 posting a meme of Bert and Ernie (and Ducky) from Sesame Street holding up a “Black Trans Lives Matter” protest sign, a LGBTQ+ flag, and a “Defund the Police” sign respectively. The complaint alleges that Pedro Pascal was not disciplined by Disney for this, which it seems to allude is evidence of sexual discrimination. There was no mention of fair use law, though Disney likely wouldn’t need to worry about that had they taken issue with his post. The allegation stands that Pascal was not disciplined for using Defendant’s intellectual property to promote personal ideology
• The complaint, at least from what I can surmise, does not indicate what started the debacle on X, but tries to paint it as if users just started attacking Gina Carano. The earliest relevant artifact I could find was her uncaptioned August 2, 2020 post of a monochrome photo of a crowd giving right-hand-forward/Nazi salutes, with a red circle highlighting one man in the crowd who is not saluting. Gina would later add context: “Heartbreaking and powerful story of a man who changed his ways for the woman he loved… love changes the world, one person at a time.❤️” How you get “Nazi sympathizer” or “bootlicker” from that is beyond me.
• The outrage against Gina allegedly intensified when X users harassed her to “say ACAB” and “use pronouns” (to identify herself, on her profile). These users posed this as a civil obligation and implied that the public would vilify her for not conforming, to which she did not yield. Gina eventually updated her profile to jokingly show “boop/bop/beep”, to which she was excessively derided for (likely by bots/trolls)

“Elon Musk Is Funding […] through X” would communicate the immediate truth. Very few media agencies thought to do so. They also do not expose any of the details I highlighted in my bullet points. Nor do they link to the publicly available complaint PDF, at least that I’ve seen.

This post brought to you by the Chaotic Neutral Centrists

Despite being a paying customer, my biggest gripe with them is their lack of concern for freedom of speech. They decided they can “de-platform” sites that they are not aligned with, which is shitty when A) they’ve basically cornered the SMB CDN/DDoS-protection space B) they are fine with these sites in their customer base until a pressure campaign they don’t feel like battling surfaces.

This is referring to the KiwiFarms vs Keffles situation, where Keffles made false claims to Cloudflare about KiwiFarms endorsing/promoting suicide in an attempt to prevent her leaked discord convos from spreading. Cloudflare caved without question and suspended KiwiFarms’ account without warning.

Otherwise, I have personally never had an issue with Cloudflare. But I am still going to look for alternatives because I don’t think it’s cool for companies with that kind of responsibility to bend a knee to bad actors out of fucking convenience.

No, see my comment to FlyingSquid about how I assume things work under the hood. The only logical design choice I can imagine is that a hash of the content snapshot is being computed locally, and only the hash is transmitted.

I haven’t done any research into what’s actually being transmitted, but I assume ACR feeds the snapshots into an ASIC that does something akin to perceptual hashing, then sends a chain of hashes collected over something like a 2-4sec window to an edge server for matching. So perhaps around 24kbps is actually being transmitted.

This is called Automatic Content Recognition and it can be disabled in the settings, highly recommend doing that. It should have asked you whether you wanted it enabled when you set up the TV, as it’s legally required to be opt-in in the US opposed to opt-out. Since you’re using a Roku Smart TV, it specifically is taking two full resolution “video snapshots” every second.

Sure but this is actually Automatic Content Recognition, specifically Roku’s video ACR that takes snapshots twice a second.

This was sort of my reaction after seeing this again while looking for something new on Lemmy:

Just because you listen to rap about drugs and murder doesn’t mean you actually do drugs and murder. Nor does it necessarily mean the artist does, it could be their persona.

But I also know nothing of the band or their music, so idk whether anyone that listened to them would automatically be a hardcore Neo-Nazi or just an eccentric metalhead. Just like I don’t know rap, so I myself can’t pass judgement and it just feels weird to see others do so, I guess I can assume they are more informed than myself.

Nothing to do with upbringing.

I was borderline incel. Viewed positive female peers (family, etc.) as completely different from “tainted whores” or whatever.

Bad experiences, chronic isolation are what make an incel. Lonely men without supportive friend groups who turn to the Internet for their social needs. Rejection and dismissal from real world people, acceptance and empathy from the hive mind.

Loneliness does a lot more damage than a shitty upbringing.
