You know, I can remember waiting for an interlaced .GIF to download and render in realtime on a 2400 baud dial up line, and I thought that was slow porn... (Possibly Samantha Fox..?)

The Physics of UFOs: Eric Weinstein + Hal Puthoff

Pretty intense [scientific] discussion, that obviously goes over most people's heads, but some interesting concepts and stories discussed. No pictures of Bigfoot, no autopsies, no anal probes.

The Banksy Interviews: Creating A Street Art Revolution

Quote:
(1hr 51mins) - Banksy, the world's most infamous street artist, whose political art, criminal stunts, and daring invasions outraged the establishment and created a revolutionary new movement while his identity remained shrouded in mystery. Featuring rare interviews with Banksy, this is the story of how an outlaw artist led a revolutionary new movement and built a multi-million dollar empire, while his identity remained shrouded in mystery

I enjoyed this documentary - a lot of history/background of where Banksy came from and what influenced him to become what he became. Rather than a random YouTuber or Banksy fan spouting facts found on Wikipedia and just calling him "anonymous", it's his friends and others who have been involved with his work telling the story.

I don't think the old couple across the road use the MSD of the speedo like that in their KIA. That sound though - looked like a high-end version of Gran Turismo with the volume turned down!

Jennifer Bilek | Who is Behind the TRANS AGENDA?
Quote:
Jennifer Bilek is an investigative journalist, a feminist and a leading voice really looking behind the curtain at who is pushing this TRANS AGENDA!

In this interview, we discuss one of the most controversial subjects of our time: the massive effort to promote transgenderism and to push "gender-affirming care" on children. Everyone has heard of the documentary "What is a Woman" but that film didn't dare ask: "Who is behind this?"

No, it's not the Jews. Edit: Unless you count Ray Kurzweil, who is Jewish. And the financial interests, if they are in fact the same thing. Damn it. Now you have me thinking it IS the Jews. /s

I mean, it would make sense if it was the Jews I suppose, given that the people opposing Trans rights are literal Nazis

NZ Police have taken the side of the literal Nazis and have refused to lay charges against a 70-year old literal Nazi woman who assaulted a peaceful 20-yr-old male trans activist and caused him to fear for his life through the violent act of wearing a “Stand Up For Women” t-shirt while her hands were full carrying shopping bags which could possibly have contained copies of the literally Nazi Mein Kampf and/or babies.

One thing is for certain, this simply reinforces the necessity of teaching women that women who fear male violence are literally Nazis, because women have no reason to fear male violence. Obviously. I mean look at the video, the brave 20-yr-old man shared that lesson with the 70-yr-old woman at least three times, although it doesn’t look like the first lesson landed cleanly.

Yep, well, whatever mental gymnastics you gotta do to be comfortable with the idea that you're on the right side of history, I guess.

Of course, the point that you shouldn't judge a movement advocating for human rights by the individual actions of any of its supporters has been made before.

The people opposing trans rights are following the same playbook as the people who opposed womens rights, and then the people who opposed gay rights. None of it is new. Same old moral panic, same old cry of 'but think of the children!'

As well as anti-mandate protestors, who were all literal Nazis. I haven't forgotten.

Suggesting someone is not "on the right side of history" sounds more like a guilt trip than an argument to me. Why not just present your case why you think some penis persons need to get changed around women? Surely they've got changed around other penis persons while growing up before? Or are you suggesting that these particular penis people were uncomfortable and feel weird getting changed around a particular group and THEIR need for comfort supersedes others?

To be quite honest, I personally prefer not to get changed around naked men and would prefer to have privacy, and I'm a guy! It's not that I fear they're getting aroused by me, or might harm me - and I would have no problem standing up for myself if I was alone and threatened - but I just don't want to see someone's cock and balls. You might recall that was what shocked me at a recent festival - too much bloody cock in view. I can 100% relate to women who don't want to see some stranger who may or may not but probably does make sex and sexuality a huge part of his life getting his cock and balls out. Doubly so if he has open flesh wound that he's lubricating because he needs to. Fuck that.

I have not heard anyone suggesting that trans gender people don't deserve rights, only that they should stay in their lane. A bus goes in the bus lane, a bike goes in the bike lane, and penis persons go in the penis persons changing room.

I mean, that case has been made many times by many different people. I'm not sure there's much point in me re-stating it, especially given the rather bigoted statements you just made. In all likelihood you've already made your mind up and nothing much I could say would make any difference. You're almost word-for-word repeating the exact same thing that was the rallying cry for homophobes of the 60s and 70s. It's okay to be gay in the closet, just stay in your lane. So, you'll have to forgive me for not believing that you really genuinely just need a good argument to be persuaded.

Call It Sleep

An anarchist film. A bit more intellectual than a Marvel movie or cat video. Slightly dated (shit, the 80s was 40 years ago...) but interesting. Has much really changed?

Quote:
1982/3 film by Isaac Cronin and Tom Seltzer

A global, strategic evaluation of the social forces comprising the society of the spectacle. It is conceived from the view that, if individuals are to gain control over their lives, the world of hierarchical power must be destroyed.

Call It Sleep is the first visual work produced in the United States which makes use of the situationist technique of detournement - the devaluation and reuse of present and past cultural production to form a superior theoretical and practical unity.

Call It Sleep is based on material drawn from the most prevalent means of social conditioning- television-for two reasons. Familiar images easily acquire a strong negative charge when linked with a subversive content. Using images and techniques available to everyone has demonstrated once and for all, that detournement is within reach of anyone with a few basic appliances and the ability to communicate radical ideas.

^ yep can +1 that.

They should be compulsory watching for anyone that manages staff and how important that small details of safety features are critically important.

Imagine you're seemingly working late, your wife pulls into the open yard of your hazardous site and finds your body slumped on a factory floor. Adding to the horror of the two resulting deaths is the two children left behind who fortunately didn't leave the vehicle to wonder what was taking their mum so long...

Quake, Floating Point, and the Intel Pentium

I've been trying to learn as much as I can about CPU architecture, and this video is quite interesting.

People just take for granted that a computer does a thing, but a computer can do fuck all or heaps. Then there's branch prediction, out of order operation, or co-processing.

I'm trying to get to low MHz but high "capacity" CPUs. I want reprogrammable computing, rather than "throw away and buy a new one" CPUs.

I don't know why things can't run slightly higher than human experience, and still do the fings. 1MHz is my naive target speed. Even 8MHz is reasonable.
Why 5GHz if we're working at 100Hz screen updates? Seems like a bunch of shite to achieve our purposes. I'm happy to be wrong, but fuck, I'd like to know why.

To make things prettier, I guess.

Can you imagine making everyone operating from simple green screens in todays world? 80x25 columns for your spreadsheet full of VLOOKUPS for your global sales by region report? Not to mention the processing power required for that.

Thin clients on the other hand...

Have a look at the silicon required to decode MPEG at a lowly 720x576x50Hz

... but you know all this
