He wrote a two part blog about how he was recruited to direct and working with Ricardo. He did his research and found his "in" for the movie which Rodenburry approved of which iirc was Hornblower in space.

My first professional job was writing FORTH for fruit machines. I'd played with it a bit before on the Jupiter Ace we had which sadly never really took off despite being more elegant than the ZX81.

The JJ lens flare then made it into DISCO although I think they toned it down a bit for SNW. I checked out of SFA after 3 episodes so I don't know if they continued to be flare happy there.

Wait what, what did Phlox do?

Mine are all GPLv3 or forks of other repos and they are listed. I'm sanguine because the license allows for study and if it's good enough for humans I don't see why it's not for clankers.

I mean scientists have been going on about global warming for some time now and no one seemed to listen to them then. Not sure why they are turning to scientists now.

I've long been off the critical path because as a tech lead I have a lot more random stuff (and meetings) to deal with. I've been able to vibe code some non-production stuff like scripts to unify feature lists across JIRA, specs and the upstream docs which has helped free up time to hand craft more code on production.

I don't care too much about the quality or maintainability of those scripts as long as they make my life a bit easier. I do care about the maintainability of the production code base.

Quite, I think her long career in genre films was one of the reasons Tarantino was so keen to work with her.

The last big update to my git workflow was when I discovered --update-refs as it makes maintaining a stack of feature branches much easier. So far I really only have one "main" dev branch and then peel off the sub-branches at they need merging upstream.

However I shall have to investigate how the history commands are exposed in magit. I can see it being useful if you have long held branches that take a while to upstream but are useful to have in your trees.

There isn't enough context in the article to work out where Lucas thinks AI can help. It would be over thing using AI to help with VFX donkey work compared to for example replacing your screenwriter.

Could anyone explain what a "hypervisor crack" is in this context? I'm very familiar with hypervisors but less so in relation to gaming.

Is this just using a hypervisor to virtualise system services the DRM uses to assure it it's not being monitored or interfered with at the OS/kernel level? Do you have to intercept networking as well?

Just an early example of AI psychosis

A fairly deep dive about how you can cherry pick stats to push a narrative.

 

For virtualization there are improvements for VirtIO, vfio and Loongarch CPU hotplug. On the emulation side additions for Arm, RiscV and even some speed ups for x86 string ops. On the documentation side a whole bunch of work has been done on QMP API to make it clearer and more navigable.

 

I was trying to add a Matter device from my phone but it kept saying I needed to install the companion app from the Play store even though I was in the companion app (from f-droid). I've installed the Bluetooth proxy app as well but it made note difference.

Does anyone know what's going on?

 

It always seemed to me that QAnon was some sort of online LARP on 4chan that got out of control and metastasized. It's left a trail of broken families and swept into the mainstream with branding and everything. After the predictions of Trump's return to power after Jan 6th it seems to have fizzled out. Did QAnon stop posting? Did their adherents just glom onto the next crazy theory? How many followers now disavow the theories of QAnon?
