Some of Lenovo's Motorola phones will come with security-minded GrapheneOS pre-installed. This is something of a breakthrough. https://www.androidpolice.com/privacy-focused-grapheneos-to-launch-on-motorola-flagship-phones-in-2027/

@hipsterelectron Just had a long and fascinating discussion with my friend I've alluded to about the dining philosophers fallacy, and the idiocy of bottlenecking everything at a serialized globally atomic memory model and I wanted to say that it is and has been being sagely considered, but just not yet in public (see, if the wolf finds the infant unguarded) for reasons that may or may not be immediately obvious.
a bell labs paper on optimal task scheduling from 1971! i hate it https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0012365X73901131
imagine:
this reads more like really bleak sci-fi than an actual published work. i am still waiting for anyone to even consider code–data locality and shared resource contention as a scheduling concern, let alone an optimization goal!
@gedankenstuecke check your email, there's a meeting that evening.
@mdione you did the old mistake of mixing martes y jueves 🤣
Wow, that's a lot of combinations.

also, this is yet another reason I love nerds.
xzutils backdoor discovered because of a microsecond delay in things.
sound-based device fingerprinting outed because some nerd got annoyed at their bluetooth headphones not switching devices correctly.
keep digging down into the weird inconvenient stuff, fellow nerds. there be dragons.
@Techaltar Very cool! You should definitely link to the original website in the Nebula description.

The graph for the Netherlands is comical. You can pretty easily pick out every time there was a change in legislation!
@notjustbikes ah oops yes, added the link now :)
Did you like AUTOMATIC NOODLE? I have a special order just for you: the sequel is finally happening, to be published in fall 2027. I hope you are ready for NOODLE UNION!! There will be dumplings. Oh yes. There will.
@annaleen YAY! That is very fun news!
This is a Ruckers mother-and-child virginal—a 17th-century keyboard instrument with a second, smaller instrument built into it, tuned an octave higher. The “child” could be pulled out to play duets or set on top of the “mother” to add a jangly, buzzing color to the main sound—a Renaissance-era layering trick, centuries before mixing desks. Antwerp instrument makers were doing this in the 1600s.

@globalmuseum great!
Just finished “Orbital” by Samantha Harvey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_(novel)
A very rewarding single evening’s worth of reading. It’s called a “novel” I guess because there are fictional characters but to me it feels more like a book-length poem, a love letter both to our planet and being in space above it. Every page has a sentence you want to cut out and frame. Highly recommended.

❝ The best time to have made #Canada digitally sovereign would have been before an American president announced his intention to annex Canada and began explicitly deploying America's tech companies to attack his geopolitical adversaries.
The second-best time is now.
By repealing Bill C-11 and legalizing reverse-engineering and modification of digital technology […] Canada will gain a devastating counter to Trump's tariffs. ❞

Really didn’t think that so many American and European tech people who had grandparents heavily affected by a world-wide war started by fascists would choose to become fascists, but here we are.
This has reconfigured my understanding of KEXP from "seattle public radio" to "ungated money transference from donations to Microsoft, Google, Atlassian, and Cisco"
