It’s absolutely something The Onion would post.

Ah, yes good point
But it is a fixed ratio.
If it was in pounds, metric tons, moles or atomic mass units… It doesn’t change the ratio, the actual number.
Would it be acceptable to drop the unit all together?
“Lethal dose is 0.000000012 : 1 (substance : bodyweight)” (I made up the number).
I’m not sure if there is a better way of writing the ratio.
Could a fraction be more applicable?
“lethal dose is 1/600000 of bodyweight”
I’m sure it’s written as ng/kg
to show the base units are the same, and the rest is just “fiddling” scientific notation
She’s just been through her junk email folder and found a “We’ve noticed a new login” email from instagram yesterday
The junk-ing security notices is so common.
A few months ago, my dad said “uh, I got some email from my bank, and now my credit card doesn’t work”.
The email was describing some problem with his account which would have been so much easy to fix before they cancelled the card.
Similarly, I lost a domain name because the registrar notifications for renewal ended up in my junk mail.
It’s probably quite a significant issue. Companies can go “well we tried to contact you” and wash their hands.
Doesn’t matter that they also spammed bullshit marketing emails from the same address that issues security/renewal notifications.
Doesn’t matter that spam email has been such an issue it is near-impossible to host your own email server (and expect delivery) for a decade or so now.
Yeh, freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
A permit from the city (and good planning) helps mitigate those consequences (safety for protesters and public) so there should be no reason to prosecute you for organising a protest. If something does go wrong, you have protection because you have done everything correctly.
You can absolutely shout “fire” in a theatre.
But if its without cause and it creates a panic/injuries/whatever, then you are responsible for what happens.
You won’t be prosecuted for shouting “fire”, that’s free speech. You will be prosecuted for causing a panic, that’s the consequences of your free speech.
I guess the options are:
Put them out and fix them.
Leave them alone.
Kill them more quickly.
Nobody is going to stand and watch (or even speed up) something like that without suffering massive trauma themselves.
Right or wrong, they were doing what they thought best and what I imagine most think is best.
Anything else is academical
That is fantastic
FML, copying from stackoverflow on your phone to an airgapped terminal would be a massive PITA
Gentle piano nicely in the background and closed-captions explaining whats going on.
Worth a watch!
Oooh, that mid-mobo power connector
I remember a little knob on the back of a pc, taking up a PCIe slot, connected to a fan controller
They dont have a rough idea, they have a very accurate picture of where they should send a packet based on the IP address.
Routers at the internet-backbone scale actually announce the IP addresses they are responsible for, as well as other routes (with an additional path cost added) that they can reach.
So, they match a destination IP to the most accurate IP block in their routing table (so a destination of 8.8.8.8 with 2 entries of 8.8.8.0/24 and 8.8.0.0/16, it will match the 8.8.8.0/24 route) and forward the packet to the router that announced it.
Routing at the internet scale is much smarter than routing at the home (even business) level
At the back-bone scale of the internet, routers actually announce the addresses they are responsible for.
Paths are judged by how specific these announcements are. A router announcing a single IP is the preffered destination, compared to a router that announces a block that contains it. So routers will forward it to whichever router more accurately describes the destination IP.
This makes up part of the calculated Path Cost of various routes to reach a destination.
If router A tries to contact router D and knows that router B and C can both forward that packet, router A will send it to the router that announced the lowest path cost to D.
Its a lot more complicated than that, but that is how datacenters can disappear from the internet (by wrongly announcing they no longer have a path to the IPs inside the datacenter), or how a small ISP can accidentally route the entire internet through their network (by accidentally announcing extremely low path costs). Both of these have happened.

So, the internet is both fragile and resilient.
It can route around damage, but cannot deal with mistakes/maliciousness above a certain “ring” of control.
We should start a Sock Market. We could sell long socks, short socks… Think of the possibilities
Ive seen an uptick in twitch users offering graphics packs for streamers.
I presume some company has figured out the prompts to get AI generated emote packs, and now hire people to offer this service randomly to small/medium streamers.
Good gods, a long-form content creator! Will be checking this out later
Same could be said about PHP
I never said it would be good moderation.
But reddit saying to its shareholders “we have cut down our reliance on unreliable user’s free labour moderation by employing advanced state of the art AI moderation from Google specifically trained on our own content” is a big confidence booster, thus shares booster.
Problem is, thats not what reddit is/was. Thats not the attraction of reddit.
Good for the shareholders. Bad for the users. Likely short term profits for long term losses
“Intriguing” sounds like an euphemism for “experimental and with high chance to fail”. The flip side of the AI deal with google?
They train on the dataset, reddit gets a free/cheap AI moderation system?
VMix popularity exploded during the pandemic. A lot of conferences became a blend of teams/zoom/Google and VMix.
Might be hardware based like a multi-m/e video mixer (blackmagic make cheap ones), or maybe more of a screen manager (like barco e2, analog way livecore). But, unless there are production requirements, vmix is much more likely. It’s (now) proven, and much cheaper!
OBS can absolutely do it. There are other open source softwares that can do it.
I’ve seen people bastardise Resolume into something that looks decent.
There are some online studio systems so everything you do is virtualized. Streamyard used to be like this, till it was bought by hopin (I think it was hopin)
