[06:57] schestowitz[TR][06:57] schestowitz[TR]This guide shows you how to run Vi without an operating system, bare metal. This is a follow up on my article from 2014 where I made a custom linux distro that would Boot to Vim, VIM as PID 1. This time we go further, we boot into Vi without an operating system. This is made possible by Cosmopolitan, a libc that outputs a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux + Mac + Wi [06:57] schestowitz[TR] ndows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS with the best possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable.

[07:01] schestowitz[TR][07:01] schestowitz[TR]Most of this project was an exercise in mechanical design, with all of the parts either being 3D-printed or laser-cut. Beefy stepper motors actuate the robot arms and an Arduino Nano board controls those. The Arduino just needs to know when to do that, which is why each chute has a switch mounted below to detect the presence of a ball. Then it throws the ball and increases the count shown o [07:01] schestowitz[TR] n a four-digit, seven-segment display.

[07:30] schestowitz[TR][07:30] schestowitz[TR]Last week, Netflix announced it is ending its DVD by mail service after 25 years and sending some 5.2 billion red envelopes through the mail. This news was expected. Streaming has taken over the film industry, for better or, as Ive argued, worse. But Im not here to castigate the entertainment industry for pivoting to streaming. Im here to offer a eulogy to a service that, for a brief momen [07:30] schestowitz[TR] t in time, offered the single best entertainment experience ever available to humans on Earth and was the pinnacle of the tech industrys accomplishments before it wrapped its tentacles around our brains to suck the life force out of our souls.

[08:55] schestowitz[TR][08:55] schestowitz[TR]As China weighs whether to adjust its tactics to avoid Putins failures, the United States can look to Ukraines and the Wests successes in thwarting Putin for lessons on how to counter Chinese aggression. We asked the experts from our Gray Zone Task Force to lay out the lessons US policymakers should draw that could help in hybrid conflict with China.

[09:10] schestowitz[TR][09:10] schestowitz[TR]As [Internet] culture goes, it sure feels like were building up to something, doesnt it? For a decade, it seemed like the goal was to expand reach above all elseeven financial stability. And that lack of stability felt something like whiplash in the hands of large media outlets like BuzzFeed, which announced this week that its once-ballyhooed news operation would be winding down. Its he [09:10] schestowitz[TR] artbreaking, yes, but it feels like the winds are telling us somethingwinds that longtime BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith, now at Semafor, is planning to contextualize in a forthcoming book. (What weird timing.) But of course, its not just the news outlets that used to dominatenor is it the ways that we access information about the world. It feels like were at a bit of a crossroads with the [Internet] itself, and mayb [09:10] schestowitz[TR] e we need to start listening to the message that the times are sending us. With that in mind, todays Tedium ponders the online worlds past inflection points, and considers what they could tell us about this particular moment in time. Im going to analyze 10 distinct onesIm sure others will argue there are more, which I will concede, but this is a list of 10and the deeper lessons about [Internet] culture that we can [09:10] schestowitz[TR] cull from these moments.
