I see. Yeah, obviously the world only has 3 spatial dimensions, so you can’t represent 4D data spatially.

My general point is that we have additional senses that we can use to represent additional dimensions. And that totally counts as “visualization”.

And it is not possible to “visualize 4D”

Sure it is.

• 3 spatial dimensions + time
• 3 spatial dimensions + 1 color dimension (grayscale)
• 2 spatial dimensions + 2 color dimensions
• etc

And that’s not even counting projection. All the time we interact with 3D data that’s projected to 2D (almost every photo you’ve ever looked at). There are similar ways to project 4D to 2D.

(Not defending the video or anything, just pointing out that visualizing higher dimensions is something we know about for ages.)

Sure. But this is not that.

I’m not sure there is anything illegal about making up these stories.

Edit: All these down votes are just wishful thinking. JD Vance is a piece of shit, but he hasn’t done anything illegal. (That’s not to say he hasn’t done anything wrong, because he totally has.)

There’s JD Vance.

There’s Ron DeSantis.

There’s Jim Jordan.

There’s Matt Gaetz.

There are plenty of MAGA republicans in Congress who would step up. To say otherwise is to be living under a rock. Trump is far from the only prominent fascist ass hole in US politics.

Assassination would be good for MAGA. They’d worship him as a martyr.

I’d like Trump to die ASAP. From natural causes, like a heart attack from eating too much McD’s.

In other words “old baby got tired after standing out of his crib for two hours, blames mom and dad.”

My money is on cousin Greg to take over.

Yeah, I think so.

At first, Xockets sounded like a legit tech company to me. But a closer look at their website reveals that it’s actually run by a bunch of patent attorneys.

From an order of magnitude perspective, the max is terabytes. No “normal” users are dealing with petabytes. And if you are dealing with petabytes, you’re not using some random poster’s program from reddit.

For a concrete cap, I’d say 256 tebibytes…

Where I work, everything is on IPv6. Both the infrastructure for the software services that we run, and our own internal corporate network.

My ISP also provides publicly routable IPv6 prefixes over DHCP. Any layman in my city with this ISP will be on IPv6 by default.

I also use IPv6 for my LAN.

Like, it’s just kind of the default in my neck of the woods…

[S]hareholders said they learned that CrowdStrike’s assurances about its technology were materially false and misleading when a flawed software update disrupted airlines, banks, hospitals and emergency lines around the world.

I don’t see how they can make this argument.

Falcon is a kernel module. When kernel modules fuck up, you get kernel panics.

Sure, the layperson may not know enough about computers to recognize this, but it’s a basic enough fact about operating systems that an investor in a company like this should take the time to learn. It’s not like they hid that fact.

If you invested in a company without knowing how their product works, that’s on you.

Random Access Memories by Daft Punk is my favorite album of all time.

Recently, I’ve been listening to Ænima by TOOL.

I could listen to anything by A Devil Makes Three.

Grace by Jeff Buckley ranks pretty highly for me.

Spotify has a playlist called “Songs To Test Headphones With” that I like a lot.

In general, I like anything with a lot of sounds and layers to groove to.

You don’t need to provide root access just because you used GPL code, you just have to follow the GPL.

Well, to follow version 3 of the GPL, you do actually need to provide effective root access.

Specifically, version 3 of the GPL adds language to prevent Tivoization.

It’s not enough to just provide the user with the code. The user is entitled to the freedom to modify that code and to use their modifications.

In other words, in addition to providing access to the source code, you must actually provide a mechanism to allow the user to change the code on the device.

The name “Tivoization” comes from the practice of the company TiVo, which sold set-top boxes based on GPL code, but employed DRM to prevent the user from applying custom patches. V3 of the GPL remedies this bug.

As an American looking in, Corbyn has always been the face of UK’s Labour Party.

Why was he ousted? The article says something about an antisemitism statement, but surely that’s not the whole of it.

For Zulip, I’ve only used it on the web. Apparently they have iOS, Android, Desktop, and Terminal clients.

For Matrix, there are many clients on all platforms, but none have ever stood out to me. Element is the official client, and it’s… fine I guess.

I love this, especially the criticism of the FSF.

For coms, Zulip seems OK. I would really like Matrix to take off, but I honestly don’t really like any of the clients.

Yes, thanks for the spelling correction.

8½ is a pretty surreal. Considered one of the most influential films of all time. One of the earliest examples of post-modernism in film.

Every scene in Ex Machina is basically a dialogue covering different arguments in the philosophy of AI. Plus a surreal dance scene.

I was blown away by mother! when I first saw it. But looking back on it, the allegory wasn’t exactly subtle.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a meta-modern masterpiece.

Tropic Thunder, as a meta commentary on comedy, is actually really good. Aside from the great comedy itself.

Maybe.

Linux won because it worked. Hurd was stuck in research and development hell. They never were able to catch up.
