> Yesterday I went to a party in a well-ventilated space. When I got to the transfer station at Park Street I found that the train line from there was shut down; we had to take shuttle buses instead. There were not enough shuttles so there was a long line. People were waiting in line for half an hour, standing quite close to strangers, to board a packed bus; most of them had no masks. I decided not to ride a bus under conditions like that.

> I waited quite some time and saw that the line was not getting shorter, so I tried to look for a taxi. No one could point me at a functioning taxi stand, there in the heart of Boston. A hotel bell captain tried to phone for a taxi for me, and got no answer. I did see some taxis go by in the street but there was little chance of finding an empty one.

> On returning to the shuttle stop, I found that the line had become short and buses were no longer packed. I reached the party over two hours delayed; many of the people had already left.

>We are now invited to despise the bullshitter for telling a 17-year-old woman at a party that he found her attractive. We can hardly assume that the bullshitter’s boasts were true. Even men who are usually honest on other topics have been known to lie about their sexual achievements. However, I wouldn’t assume they were false, or that he did an injustice to anyone at these parties. In a group of 50 models, there could well be some that would eagerly go to bed with a rich man, either to boost their careers or for a lark.

>If you condemn men for finding teenage female models attractive, you might as well condemn men for being heterosexual.

>The bully may be predatory, but it appears he didn’t display this overtly at those parties. There are indications that he arbitrarily chose the winners of the Miss USA beauty contest while he owned it. That would be a real wrong, since it would have made the contest dishonest. I understand the desire to condemn the bullshitter on every aspect of his life, but it is no excuse for ageism. If you can understand that we shouldn’t dictate people’s gender preferences, you should understand that we shouldn’t dictate their age preferences either. There are plenty of tremendously important reasons to condemn the bully. He is attacking workers’ rights, abortion rights, non-rich people’s pensions and medical care, the environment, human rights, and democracy, even the idea of truth. Let’s focus on those real reasons.

It'll go beyond what people can tolerate and cause the 3 conflict reactions (flight,freeze and attack). People will figure out how fragile all the digital support infrastructure is and it'll get destroyed. It took over 3 decades to build and it'll be torn down in a fit of rage, lasting maybe a week. All the digital niceties will probably be lost too. And it will take forever to recover it. It'll be back to square one.

I don't think the tear-down scenario is particularly hopeful. Consider all the things that'll be lost. The hopeful scenario is where the digital infrastructure is corrected in order to serve the interests of the people.

As far as the surveillance-aggressors are concerned, their end goal is a device attached to your neck (and everybody else's) that can punish by electroshock, chemical-pain-injections, and ultimately death by blowing up a small charge Zionist pager style. I don't know how to categorize this, regression to serfdom, probably.

If you are still asking your self how surveillance leads to exploding neck-devices (which would be odd considering recent events), it's the logical conclusion of trying to controle people via fear.

I'm not making this up, ten years ago i read an article by a consulting-guy for super-rich people from roughly the same milieu as this Ellison guy, maybe we could name it the SIC (surveillance industrial complex). He said that he got requests for technological control-bracelets to put around people's necks in order to ensure reliable controle over people for "end of the world emergency scenarios"

They'll keep pushing unless they are stopped. So if you harbor any illusions for a boring dystopia that might just be bearable enough, keep in mind they're building the Torment Nexus, intentionally so.

Also the Normies aren't taking the L they're just pursuing a different strategy than privacy conscious techies. They think about the surveillance machine like a reputation/public-image management problem. They're going to push for the ability to curate their "surveillance profile", and they'll be able to do this to a great extend. And possibly also to ruin the profiles of others (1) . Privacy conscious techies are opposed to observation because they are builders, who don't want bullies to take what they made from them. Bullies don't take what they can't see. The paniopticon probably comes with a heavy economic penalty, because it demoralizes many builders.
(1) the surveillance ideologues who think that the surveillance data will be a record of reality are delusional

The reason why i think the tear-down scenario is almost certainly going to be the outcome, is because this won't just be a 2 sided conflict between surveillance-enslavers Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

So Intel processors are crapping out and they're already on the financial downturn. Intel might go under or continue on in a diminished fashion.

Many think that the X86 platform will stagnate without the competition between AMD and Intel.

I don't know, but there's always Risk-V, with it being a very open platform, there is nothing stopping anybody from taking a RISC-V design with small low-power cpu cores and adding a few really powerful chunky desktop type cpu cores to it, to make a hybrid processor. Lowering the barrier to entry for companies to make desktop-type processors.

>good point that it already happened.
It already happened for processing cost, but for the die-area of chips, those haven't really increased that much. There are large chips like the size of post-cards, but those are not cheap. The wavers (chip-blanks) haven't really scaled up that well, it's probably because growing large silicon crystals is kinda hard.

>I wish it would happen- assuming the us doesnt just sanction chinese chips and makes two markets with no competition
Yeah RISC5 is open-source, so if they segregate the market, both sides still can copy each others designs. Which kinda happens in tech a lot. Also its capitalism, sanctions can't stop anything from getting sold, if there's money to be made somebody will find a loophole. I think the point of these tech sanctions might be a shake-down. It could be people who are trying make money by first blocking Chinese goods so they can sell access for a premium.

This is a piece of software that does deep-fake face-swaps but it's fast enough to do it live.

While everybody lost their minds over how to use this maliciously.

I think this is some really empowering technology for video creators. It enables super low budget movies to be shot by a very small number of actors that play multiple roles, each with a different fake-face, they can also economize on stuff like make-up and hairdressing (especially for scifi alien foreheads) .

For people that wanna be actors but didn't win the genetic lottery on looks this might be the time to shine. (at least briefly until more advanced tech comes along)

it will also level the playing field for e-thots somewhat.

I think that's because most of the video-Ai stuff doesn't run fast enough for real-time. Hobby movie makers won't do extensive post-production, basic video and audio editing, is already time consuming. For Ai-stuff to be adopted by hobbyists, it needs to work like a what you see is what you get video filter that can be applied while filming.

DNS over TOR is a good fix for now. Most of my TCP traffic goes over TOR, but if someone were to run it as a DNS resolver only, the possible attack vector requiring large amounts of infrastructure would become even more infeasible, as the only exploitable resource would be a sparse metadata trail of website visits.

In any case you should set up a local DNS cache. Have some resources on djbdns http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html http://www.lifewithdjbdns.org http://thedjbway.b0llix.net/djbdns.html

Fermilab is a big atom-smasher particle-accelerator physics research project, in the US.It's no longuer the biggest project of this type, the currently biggest is the LHC in Switzerland. Threat-title is a Swiss-French speaking physicist quip about that. The biggest smasher under construction is in China

The fermilab had an interesting research project for neutrinos, and sort of was the front-runner in that area. However they had funding problems and might not be able to continue and there was some drama as well. There was a death and some close calls too.

Neutrinos are very light, low energy particles that don't interact much and hence can pass through matter without getting blocked. They occur naturally in the sun's core as a byproduct of nuclear fusion, but they are also generated by technology without nuclear reactions.

These neutrinos have interesting technological applications.
high power applications: is a neutrino-ray-cannon that can disable nukes by making them cook-off with 1-5% of their specified yield. Regardless where the nuke is or how fast it's going. No matter of shielding or how deep they are buried/submerged. It also doesn't do damage to anything else, so there's no political complications.
low power application is neutrino based communications. Those could become very energy efficient and no longer suffer from signal degradation from passing through objects (including the entire earth). So you can send signals to somebody on the other side of the planet by pointing the neutrino transmitter straight down. Jamming neutrino transmission would be impractical. The military obviously wants this for their ships, subs, bunkers and bases, the first generation of such devices (derived from research instruments see picture) would be super bulky , and likely limited to such niche applications. However eventually could be shrunk down to fit very small electronic devices.

I wonder whether this project is being sabotaged because the anti-nuke-ray would finish off the nuclear weapons industry, and neutrino communications would use a different more 3 dimensional network-topology and reshuffle the deck in communications, upstarts could potentially up-root the entrenched 2 dimensional telecoms.

Some breakthroughs have led me to finally and definitively abandon microshit's spyware.
I had been staying on wangblows for the audio software but had no idea Linux production had come so far.

My DAW [Renoise] has a fucking excellent native linux version that exceeds WIndows performance in some cases. Grabbing audio to feed into its sampler is easier than ever with youtube-dl and ffmpeg.
yabridge lets you convert Windows VSTs to run through Wine, the ones I've tried have worked seamlessly albeit with a little overhead.
Takes a tiny bit of elbow grease to get it optimized enough for serious use, but it's pretty simple once you get past initial setup and it even supports VST3.

Feels pretty good to be making music on a system I have so much control over, it's actually given me a lot of inspiration to work on new material.

I can't believe I only just found this great thread.

I also use Ardour (now on version 8 it's getting pretty good) and some of the plugins you mentioned (others I need to check out).

I'm currently using my linux system for real-time jamming and recording. I use NixOS so I can have the same audio setup on my laptop and my desktop. I'll attach my config. NixOS also has I guess what you would call a plugin that sets your system up for real-time audio called musnix, I turn on some of its settings but not the rt kernel (which causes some instability), but I can get the latency down to 10.7msec in jack with a very stable sound.

I have an arturia audiofuse interface, and today I took that and my laptop to a band practice, as well as my synth, a Yamaha DX7 (which weights 30lbs lol don't use this for practice) and I was using Yoshimi, Pianoteq (only non free software on my computer I swear, but I needed piano) and the synth's own sound (plus other shit), and i just used the midi selector on the dx to change busses. So I has a left and a right going from the interface into the mixer and it worked rock solid for 12h.

Literally we had practice for 12h today idk why we elected to do that, but this isn't even something that's ever going to make us money lol. Anyway shit worked the entire time without a hitch, I'm at this point more worried about the interface's shitty power socket than the software.

I'm not comfortable with posting my band here so maybe in another 3 years I'll bump this thread with some solo OC.
