[00:00] MinceR they don't want to [00:00] MinceR the EU wants to fail [00:00] IsambardPrince But the EU is lousy because it's a bunch of member states, most of which are not much larger than a US state, which have no sense of "unified purpose" within the EU. [00:00] IsambardPrince And no common language. [00:00] IsambardPrince And they have "nationalism" whereas most people in the US consider themselves an American first and at least speak the same language. [00:00] IsambardPrince And there's no opt-out of the US Dollar. [00:00] MinceR there were many attempts to get this mess closer to a federation, and it failed every time because concrete-brained simpletons want to carry on with their pointless, petty feuds with their neighbors [00:00] IsambardPrince Lots of other things we have that the EU doesn't. [00:00] MinceR and they'll keep doing this until the orcs or the bug people come and take over [00:01] IsambardPrince If the EU is dysfunctional, it's because they can't get their member states to do anything towards the whole. [00:01] IsambardPrince In the US we have federated states, and they're quite different from each other, but the federal government is strong. [00:02] IsambardPrince It forces us to contribute to the national defense, for the most part federal law is supreme, and the federal courts have the last say. [00:02] IsambardPrince We all use the same currency, and there's a common language. [00:02] IsambardPrince Just having so many languages alone sets the EU back. [00:03] MinceR the more functional EU members already use a common currency [00:03] IsambardPrince Even if they could force their members into line on everything else, it's the tower of fucking babel. [00:03] IsambardPrince Hungary openly brags about sabatoging the EU from within. [00:04] IsambardPrince And bringing the legislative process to a standstill until it gets more bribes. [00:04] MinceR indeed [00:04] MinceR hopefully this ends on sunday [00:04] IsambardPrince I heard that Orban is polling worse since JD Vance spoke there. [00:04] IsambardPrince I hope that's true. [00:04] MinceR :> [00:04] MinceR i guess DJ Vance's rave sucked [00:04] IsambardPrince The MAGA people are pointing at Hungary of all places as the shining city on a hill of Europe. [00:04] IsambardPrince Yuck [00:05] MinceR it only shines where tiborcz hasn't replaced the lighting [00:05] IsambardPrince There's a lot of bad things about EU countries. [00:05] IsambardPrince All of them. [00:05] IsambardPrince But out of all of them, Hungary is one of the very worst. [00:05] MinceR indeed [00:06] IsambardPrince Germany and France are much better. Very dysfunctional, but much better. [00:06] MinceR the way things are going, they're going to get worse soon [00:06] MinceR france gets to elect a nazi for president next year [00:06] IsambardPrince Yeah, MAGA has insisted that Europe is one election cycle behind the US. [00:06] IsambardPrince And that EuroMAGA is coming and Hungary is leading the way. [00:07] MinceR i hope we can lead them out of this, this sunday [00:07] IsambardPrince So it will be very funny if Orban loses this election. [00:07] IsambardPrince I'm watching it because I want to see MAGA's reaction to that if he does. [00:07] IsambardPrince If the US gets an even somewhat free and fair election in November, MAGA is finished in Congress. [00:08] IsambardPrince Based on what special elections are doing. [00:08] IsambardPrince And Trump is so panicked about a fair election he signed an executive order that pretends he has the power to implement the "SAVE America Act" without Congress. [00:08] IsambardPrince And Illinois sued him yesterday over it. [00:09] MinceR too bad the Court With Tomatoes And Sour Cream is stuffed with pedonazis [00:09] IsambardPrince The "SAVE America Act" is a voter disenfranchisement and election stealing bill. [00:09] IsambardPrince It's so extreme that even Senate Republicans are split on it. [00:09] IsambardPrince Several don't want to do it so it isn't passing. [00:10] IsambardPrince [18:09] too bad the Court With Tomatoes And Sour Cream is stuffed with pedonazis [00:10] IsambardPrince You know, funny you should mention that. [00:10] IsambardPrince Did you know that it's 10 cents cheaper to add tomatoes and sour cream at Taco Bell than it is to say "Make it supreme."? [00:10] IsambardPrince Per item. [00:10] MinceR https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2006-11-01 [00:10] TR Bot Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - 2006-11-01 [00:10] MinceR i think you've mentioned it before [00:10] IsambardPrince Not that Taco Bell is cheap. [00:10] MinceR is it the same amount of tomatoes and sour cream, though? [00:10] IsambardPrince But why would it be 10 cents to say "tomatoes and sour cream" when that does the same thing? [00:11] IsambardPrince Yeah, same serving of both. [00:11] IsambardPrince 10 cents cheaper, that is [00:11] MinceR convenience, i guess [00:11] MinceR it takes less work to say 'supreme' :> [00:11] MinceR also sounds more special [00:11] IsambardPrince Okay, this is weird. [00:12] IsambardPrince A Crunchy Taco is $1.99, a Crunchy Taco Supreme is $3.29. [00:12] IsambardPrince Adding tomatoes and sour cream to a Crunchy Taco is $3.34. [00:13] MinceR :) [00:13] IsambardPrince Looks like they "fixed the glitch". [00:13] IsambardPrince Now it costs you another 5 cents to just add them. [00:13] MinceR maybe someone from taco bell is reading this :> [00:13] *Goblin has quit (Quit: Leaving) [00:14] MinceR maybe it was Goblin :> [00:14] IsambardPrince MinceR: I noticed that Burger King costs $1 for cheese and $1 for bacon on a Whopper. [00:14] IsambardPrince But if you say extra cheese and extra bacon, you get two slices of cheese and 8 strips of bacon instead of 4, for the same price. [00:15] MinceR :> [00:15] IsambardPrince MinceR: The cheese is literally a Kraft single. [00:15] MinceR i usually order with the app [00:15] IsambardPrince Costs about 12 cents in the store. [00:15] IsambardPrince So I bring a slice of cheese in my pocket and put it on myself. [00:18] IsambardPrince The news is talking about a "K-shaped" McDonald's menu for a "K-shaped economy" [00:19] MinceR o_O [00:19] MinceR is it a Kollapsing eKonomy? [00:19] MinceR or one Kontrolled by a KKK member? [00:20] MinceR ah, growing inequality [00:24] IsambardPrince Yeah, like some are doing well, some don't have any money. [00:24] IsambardPrince Not much in the middle. [00:25] IsambardPrince So McDonald's goes two ways. [00:25] IsambardPrince Really expensive items and a "value menu" full of shitty cheap stuff. [00:25] IsambardPrince MinceR: The Big Arch is not great, btw. Tried it. [00:25] IsambardPrince It's expensive, but it's not great. [00:26] IsambardPrince It tastes like a Quarter Pounder with Big Mac sauce, if the Big Mac sauce tasted off. [00:26] MinceR the big arch is not available here yet [00:29] IsambardPrince There's the McDonald's HQ in Chicago. They have a restaurant underneath that has an "international menu". [00:29] IsambardPrince It changes every month. [00:29] IsambardPrince It's the only McDonald's in the country that has that. [00:29] MinceR :) [00:30] IsambardPrince MinceR: Someone on Facebook mentioned the Kimberly-Clark warehouse that got set on fire by an angry worker. [00:30] IsambardPrince I said, "All you had to do was pay me enough to live." Too soon? [00:31] MinceR :> [00:31] IsambardPrince That guy was not having it anymore. [00:38] IsambardPrince after exactly 49 days, 17 hours, 2 minutes and 47 seconds of continuous uptime, macOS experiences an integer overflow that freezes the internal TCP timestamp clock. [00:38] IsambardPrince MinceR: ^ [00:38] MinceR :> [00:38] IsambardPrince That reminds me of the Windows 98 bug that crashed the entire OS after like 47 days. [00:39] IsambardPrince Jim Moore [00:39] IsambardPrince [00:39] IsambardPrince anyone else notice anything significant about that number? [00:39] IsambardPrince 4294967 seconds *exactly*. [00:39] IsambardPrince 4297967295 is (2^32)-1. [00:39] IsambardPrince So the OS counts +1 tick every 1/1000sec. Until it reaches the 32 bit unsigned integer limit. MacOS has an integer limit of (2^32)-1. Which is the same as the integer limit on the Sinclair ZX81. [00:39] IsambardPrince The only practical permanent fix is to force the tick to use 64 bit unsigned integers instead. Then the ticker'll not crash out for 292 million years. [00:39] IsambardPrince So the Mac uses 32-bit time, STILL? [00:39] MinceR i can think of more practical permanent fixes [00:39] IsambardPrince Even Debian eventually got rid of that. [00:40] MinceR like not running your network services on toys, for one [00:40] MinceR the nice thing about this is that it would have prevented the problem in the first place [00:41] MinceR crApple cultists insist on pushing this retarded trash everywhere and it keeps failing over and over [00:41] IsambardPrince https://www.facebook.com/reel/1934967123770709 [00:41] TR Bot NO TITLE [00:41] IsambardPrince A Microsoft data center in Racine, Wisconsin is causing loud noises. [00:43] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR3]: Google's investing in a methane gas plant in Texas to power a data center which will release as much CO2 pollution as San Francisco. [00:44] MinceR it's going to get worse until people do something about microslop [00:55] *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) [00:55] *includeals (~includeal@2001:8a0:e95a:4e00::1c47) has joined #techrights ● Apr 11 [01:21] IsambardPrince When Apple put out Apple Music and killed iTunes, they deliberately deleted tens of thousands of songs off people's computers and said that if they wanted them back they had to download them one at a time. [01:21] IsambardPrince Some post on Facebook said young people are buying "reconditioned iPods" off ebay. [01:21] IsambardPrince Because they "don't want algorithms telling them what to listen to". [01:22] IsambardPrince I remember when the biggest complaint was there were one or two good songs and they made you buy a tape or CD to get them and the rest was filler. [01:22] IsambardPrince But you could sidestep that by just waiting for an inevitable "greatest hits" compilation which would have all the best stuff on one disc/tape. [01:23] IsambardPrince Some bands managed to put out one more more albums where the entire album was good start to finish. [01:23] IsambardPrince But most had trouble with uneven albums or ones with only one good song on it. [01:24] IsambardPrince Since CDs and tapes cost so much (often $10-15, and mind you that was in the mid 90s!) you really should have usually waited for the greatest hits. [01:24] IsambardPrince That's why when used CDs show up at Goodwill, the majority are Greatest Hits. [01:24] IsambardPrince Nobody wanted to spend what was then a considerable amount on a bad album. [01:25] IsambardPrince iTune was disruptive in the sense that you could just cherry pick what you bought, but at the same time, there was also just file sharing. [01:25] IsambardPrince So the old business model pretty much died. [01:25] IsambardPrince You couldn't sell the whole CD, sometimes you couldn't sell them anything. [01:26] IsambardPrince Metallica handled it the wrong way obviously. A lawsuit. [01:26] MinceR they could probably get a DAP that sucks less than any hypePod for less [01:26] IsambardPrince One that made it all the way to the court with sour cream and tomatoes. And they got their ruling, and it didn't change anything. [01:26] IsambardPrince Napster had to shut down. [01:26] IsambardPrince But its protocol was reverse engineered. [01:27] IsambardPrince So the Beta 5 release still worked. [01:27] IsambardPrince Eventually, there was WinMX, which had its own protocol, AND the one from Napster. [01:27] IsambardPrince Did you know people still use WinMX? [01:27] IsambardPrince The binary that was abandoned in the mid 2000s? [01:27] MinceR i didn't [01:28] IsambardPrince Yeah, they were ordered to shut down, but the protocol for WinMX got reversed. [01:28] IsambardPrince It's centralized for peer lookups and searches, but you just replace the cache file with one that points to another server. [01:28] IsambardPrince And it works again. [01:29] IsambardPrince The guy that made WinMX has a bittorrent client called Tixati and another client that looks like Tixati but uses a proprietary network called Fopnu. [01:29] IsambardPrince I tried Fopnu but there's not much there. [01:29] IsambardPrince There's a Tixati for Linux. [01:29] IsambardPrince But it's proprietary freeware. [01:30] MinceR why not use Kad or BitTorrent? [01:30] IsambardPrince I mean, there's plenty of bittorrent clients. [01:30] MinceR or even Gnutella DHT [01:30] IsambardPrince I tried Gnutella DHT. [01:30] IsambardPrince I didn't find much stuff there either. [01:30] MinceR :> [01:31] IsambardPrince Most media companies have largely given up going after sites themselves. [01:31] IsambardPrince And go after the search engines. [01:31] IsambardPrince Google and Microsoft will take down pretty much anything they ask them to. [01:32] IsambardPrince I find myself using Brave Search and Yandex sometimes. [01:32] IsambardPrince Google is heavily censored in the US. [01:32] IsambardPrince They've deleted literally billions of references to websites, even ones that aren't doing anything illegal, due to political pressure. [01:32] IsambardPrince They tell us we're free and then we have this "Great Firewall". [01:32] IsambardPrince It's calld Google. [01:33] IsambardPrince When they tell you you're free, but there are consequences for doing things there's no specific law against. [01:33] IsambardPrince Or they're hidden from you and nobody is allowed to tell you about it. [01:35] IsambardPrince MinceR: Someone on Reddit asked why so many newer cars have engine sludge. [01:35] IsambardPrince I said people are wired so that when the consequences are not dire and immediate, they tend not to pay attention. [01:36] IsambardPrince There's so many things where if you do a bad thing, nothing will happen tomorrow or next week. [01:36] IsambardPrince But it will eventually. [01:42] MinceR are so many people unaware of other search engines?

[01:46] IsambardPrince The lawsuit stems from a report that was published by an association called Fairlinked, a German advocacy group for commercial LinkedIn users. [01:46] IsambardPrince A few days ago, the group claimed that LinkedIn illegally scans users browsers to see what extensions they have running. Allegedly, these scans can identify thousands of extensions, including tools that compete with LinkedIns own services." [01:50] IsambardPrince https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/supreme-court-smackdown-has-some-wisconsin-republicans-calling-on-gop-chair-to-resign/ar-AA20Blxn [01:50] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-MSN [01:51] IsambardPrince Well, Wisconsin has been moving towards Democrats in state elections for a while. Elon Musk really screwed things up for the "Republicans" by pitching their candidate for the Supreme Court last cycle. [01:51] IsambardPrince And I think we're continuing to see the spillover, as the "Republicans" lost another seat on the court last week, and now it's 5 Democrats and 2 "Republicans". [01:52] IsambardPrince And another "Republican" next year. [01:52] IsambardPrince People reacted harshly towards an out of state billionaire, very unpopular one, coming to their state and telling them how to vote and then just dumping in money and going back to the other side of the country. [01:53] IsambardPrince And it's playing out now. The state Supreme Court threw out gerrymandered state districts and the "Republicans" lost supermajority control of the legislature. [01:53] IsambardPrince And now when the governor vetoes something, they can't just override it and move on. [01:53] IsambardPrince So Musk is responsible for the "Republicans" losing their stranglehold on Wisconsin [01:53] IsambardPrince They can thank him. [01:54] IsambardPrince Wisconsin politics are moving from "far-right", to slightly left of center (for American politics, anyway). [01:55] IsambardPrince The "Republicans" are losing all the statewide elected offices. [01:55] IsambardPrince And their one party conrol over the legislature is finished. [01:56] IsambardPrince Robyn Voss, the Wisconsin House Speaker, was starting to resemble the "Orban" of Wisconsin. [01:56] IsambardPrince Nothing happened in the state until he said it did. [01:56] IsambardPrince MinceR: I heard that the candidate running to replace Orban used to be part of his inner circle. [01:56] IsambardPrince How much different will Hungary be if Orban is defeated on Sunday? [01:57] IsambardPrince FWIW, and this is usually what I tell myself when I vote is "How much worse could it get, really?" [01:57] IsambardPrince When the "Republicans" are the alternative, it could get worse, when they're the majority, it can only improve. [01:58] IsambardPrince So there is only one choice. [01:58] MinceR yeah, hungarians are retarded like that [01:59] MinceR i hope the enthusiastic amateurs who are his MP candidates will keep these former fidSS members in check and oust them from power if necessary [01:59] IsambardPrince Things must have gotten bad there for fidSS if they rewrote the Constitution and the election laws and they still might lose. [01:59] IsambardPrince Usually when that happens they never lose again. ● Apr 11 [02:00] IsambardPrince That's what happened in my home state of Indiana. [02:00] IsambardPrince The "Republicans" didn't have to rewrite or suspend the Constitution. [02:00] MinceR but even if all Peter Magyar manages to do is have Hungary join the EPPO and get EU funds flowing again, we'll already be much better off [02:00] IsambardPrince The existing one gave them everything they needed. [02:00] IsambardPrince It gives the legislature almost total power. [02:00] IsambardPrince So once they gained a slight majority, they had everything they needed to steal all the elections in the future. [02:01] MinceR fideath and its supporters believe that if the pedonazi party manages to win an election, no matter how they changed the rules and gerrymandered the districts, it means they have the support of the majority and get to do anything they feel like [02:02] MinceR it seems that not only do they not have the support of the majority, but maybe their system can't distort the results enough to hand them the victory anymore [02:08] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights [02:11] *psydruid has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [02:31] IsambardPrince "Two Chicago firms are nearing completion of 111 Point, the office-to-residential conversion of a River North building that used to be home to Salesforce."

[04:25] IsambardPrince They get 51-52% of the vote for the state House districts in Indiana. [04:26] IsambardPrince And somehow that entitles them to 68% of the seats. [04:26] IsambardPrince MinceR: The people in Indiana are not THAT extreme, but the government is. [04:26] IsambardPrince Because the GOP stole the elections. [04:26] MinceR here they got 2/3 of the seats by getting something like 49% of the votes [04:26] MinceR last time [04:27] IsambardPrince Even if the "republicans" got 45% of the vote in Indiana, they'd still have 57% of the seats, more or less. [04:27] IsambardPrince MinceR: A supermajority in Indiana doesn't really even matter that much. [04:27] IsambardPrince There's no filibuster in the State Senate. [04:28] IsambardPrince The governor's veto can be overridden with 51%, which is the same threshold to pass a bill in the first place. [04:28] IsambardPrince MinceR: The Indiana "Republicans" are not quite the same as Trump. [04:28] IsambardPrince He told them to steal another House seat mid-decade. [04:29] IsambardPrince And the bill to do that failed with 19 Republicans in the Senate voting No and all 10 Democrats. [04:29] MinceR :) [04:30] IsambardPrince Governor Pritzker in Illinois told Indiana that if they took one more seat, then he'd call a special session in Illinois and ask them to take two for the Democrats. [04:30] IsambardPrince This seat poaching makes little sense. [04:30] IsambardPrince So the republicans steal five in Texas and Democrats steal 5 in California. [04:30] IsambardPrince The Republicans steal one here and there, Virginia convenes and steals 4 (they're tryiing to anyway). [04:31] IsambardPrince So I mean, if all we're doing is trading paint, what's really going to happen is the US House will be full of non-competitive elections. [04:31] IsambardPrince And the numbers will be about the same. [04:31] IsambardPrince And the real election is thrown to the party primaries.

[04:44] MinceR lol ● Apr 11 [05:51] IsambardPrince MinceR: I was talking about GNOME. [05:51] IsambardPrince "I thought GNOME 2.x was pretty nice, but it looked like shit, so I ported over the theme from Solaris called "Nimbus" from their Java Desktop Environment." [05:51] IsambardPrince "But since GNOME 3 came out I've been back to KDE." [05:51] IsambardPrince "The GNOME project said they were "consciously borrrowing" from the Mac. " [05:51] IsambardPrince "Not to mention that it's hideously unstable and bloated." [05:52] IsambardPrince "I became exasperated when I saw the Shell leaking memory and the developers didn't care. Then when they did care (I was already on KDE), they decided that rather than find out why it was leaking, they'd just run the garbage collector more (which wastes CPU cycles)." [05:52] IsambardPrince "Which is the computer equivalent of "Why is my car losing so much oil? Where does it go? I know, we'll pour a quart of oil in every few days!"" [05:52] IsambardPrince "Anyone who thinks that you write software in C++ and Javascript deserves to maintain such a mess." [05:53] IsambardPrince I had an O'Reilly book on Sixth Edition JavaScript.

[05:55] IsambardPrince MinceR: The worst part of Vala is that it relies heavily on GObject. [05:56] IsambardPrince I remember that Unity 2D thing Canonical did. [05:57] IsambardPrince It was part Qt, part Metacity, GNOME applications, and lots of QML and Vala. [05:57] IsambardPrince And 100% "Oh my fuck."

When I was an "AI" researcher in the 1990s one particular technique we used was Fuzzy Logic. We made simulated "neural" circuits like Perceptrons and Boltzmann Machines to combine lots of sensors. We made decisions based on the weighted contributions of many inputs and then we corrected or trained (back propagated errors) those weights until the system made the right choices more often. [12:52] schestowitz[TR3] We didn't call it "AI" then. To do so would have been pompous and pretentious. It was just "DSP" (Digital Signal Processing), or plain old "data processing". [12:52] schestowitz[TR3] Nobody paid much attention to "AI" then. Not because it didn't work, it did work to some degree. It had already been through two "winters" of great promise followed quickly by more sober realism. In my shoutiest-at-clouds old-man voice I'll grumble; "AI we hear of in the media now is not the AI I coded in the good old days". The humble self-critical me wants to say, that's because things suddenly advanced and I couldn't keep up. B [12:52] schestowitz[TR3] ut that's only a little bit true.
