Daily Tech News 10 March 2024
Top Story
- The Pentagon is not hiding aliens or UFO technology from the public, said government spokesman Jybben Xylyn. (The Guardian)
"We would not lie to you", added Xylyn, as he blinked his nictitating membranes. "As xeno... As humans we are congenitally unable to tell mistruths."
- The Pentagon is hiding aliens and UFO technology from the public, said Professor Avi Loeb of Harvard University. (WGBH)
"See, these tiny specks of rock prove it", said Loeb. "These specks have bits in. You would not find bits like this anywhere other than alien spaceships."
Tech News
- Watching the anime 16bit Sensation which is set (mostly) in a tiny third-rate game development studio in 1992.
The details are pretty good - the computers are recognisable models that were available in Japan at the time, and among the many PC-9801s there's even a Sharp X68000.
The programmer is working in real X86 assembler, and while the paint software the artists use is fictional its features are real enough. A bit lacking, really; I'm pretty sure automated dithering was a common feature by then.
- Speaking of the X68000 there's now an X68000Z mini available. (Retrolike)
It's an emulator, of course, using a 1.3GHz Arm CPU to do the work, inside a miniature version of the famous dual-tower X68000 case. Reproducing the hardware itself would be far too costly for a crowdfunding campaign.
But they have precisely reproduced the original keyboard and mouse.
Wonder if I can pick one up.
Wonder if the operating system is available in English.
- The Macbook Air is lightweight and completely silent - there's no fan - and the CPU hits 114C under load and runs 33% slower than a Macbook Pro with the exact same chip - there's no fan. (WCCFTech)
This was true of prior Macbook Air models as well. Apple's CPUs are genuinely good, but they're not magic.
- Intel's Core i9 14900KS is 3% faster than the 14900K, 30% more expensive, and consumes up to 400 watts. (Tom's Hardware)
It can also make crepes.
In fact, it makes crepes even if you don't want it to.
- Nvidia's next-generation graphics cards - which we might see before the end of the year - could have 50% faster memory and 50% more memory. (Tom's Hardware)
This is because they'll be using GDDR7 memory, which is 50% faster (it's trinary) and can also be 50% larger than GDDR6 (24Gb per chip instead of 16Gb).
Just taking that and adding it to a card like the RTX 4060 would fix a lot of problems, so expect Nvidia to raise prices as well.

No, the Pentagon is not hiding Aliens or UFO technology for a very simple reason. The Pentagon is a bloated, corrupt, incompetent, Government bureaucracy. They simply are incapable of the kind of discipline to cover it up.

'Tis 55 F. here with a little bit of NW wind. Gotta decide if I want to work out. Maybe today I can wash the car, then dig out the paint supplies and touch up the (very few) nicks in the Buick's ruby-red paint. The paint GM used on this car has been pretty darn tough. Yes, there is a bit of water-spotting on the roof and less on the hood and trunk. That could be the clear coat, though. Fortunately it's hard to see unless you look close.

There are watches you can buy that will let you track *three* time zones at a glance. Lovely things, but I haven't traveled out of the Central time zone in years. Perhaps if I move to Indiana, which is split between Eastern and Central, I'll consider a watch that will remind me of that fact.

Hello to you, JQ! Yes, the late Marie-Antoinette, smartest cat I've ever known, would throw herself into my lap each evening and work my arm. Fortunately her front claws were just a memory, so it didn't hurt. A couple of my other cats were into it. The Siberians I've known, none of them have done it. Maybe they got it out of their systems because they lived with their mothers and littermates long enough before coming to live with me.

I seem to recall a detail in ancient Roman history. Someone in Rome was given a sundial in Sicily, or maybe he captured it in Punic War II and took it home. He complained it never showed the right time. He failed to realize that the latitudes of Rome and Sicily are different and so the heights of the sun in the sky, at the same time of day and year, would be different.

Excellent point, Wolfus. Mom's sundial was just a commercial one-- not latitude-specific-- but a very nice product with an inscription:
"Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be"

Prayerful... Had not thought of it that way. There is someone I really very much would like to meet in real life. But my time is running out. It's not final chapter, but getting closer - like in a book where you can see the ending by the number of pages remaining and it's not very thick. In my own way I've said both hello and goodbye to her. It's quite the story of a blue collar town in the 70's along the side of a river and the morality of the people who once attended one of the nine churches on the side of a hillside, but now over time, only three remain.
So the song speaks to me.

I have a friend in Florida. He told me of his story, how after he retired someone had given him a DNA test kit which he had submitted and discovered he had a son who he never knew existed. This friend came from that same blue collar town along the river with the nine churches. In a way his story is my story, too.
Except there is no DNA evidence for me, only a hunch and a stack of circumstantial evidence three inches tall. So I wait... while the tide waits for me.

Once I get some money saved (thanks Joe for decimating my savings) I have to have a crane come in to take down a monster ash tree which is a bit of a threat. I dare not risk taking it down myself. I have taken down maybe close to 100 trees in my life but this one... balls aren't that big.

They received a letter either in the late 50s or early 60s from a neighbor asking how they were. I have it around somewhere, but I'm not sure if they ever responded.

This is one of those things were there are too many factors at play to calculate, figure 500-2000 per tree, depending on the size and location.
And that's just for taking the tree down to a stump and leaving the larger trunk pieces.
Stump grinding and hauling away the trunks is more than likely extra.

No tint at all. Now it's a one inch row of dots that I assume is part of the texture to allow adhesive to stick or some visual device for proper alignment of the robots installing the windshield than anything useful for the driver. Maybe both.

UPS has a scan of it arriving at the processing facility about six miles up the same road from the scheduled delivery point.
But no scan of it's placement on the package car that morning, nor a delivery scan.
BUT, I did get a phone call from the facility telling me that the driver did deliver it that morning.
Unfortunately, the regular driver for the delivery location arrives there in the afternoon, and already said he never had the package on his truck
OOPSIE!.

Blacks were never used as general purpose labor, they were used exclusively as farm and agrarian labor, and by 1860 were only in 15 of the 33 states and 9 territories.
So this idea that they built this country is nonsense.

They don't care about females. They can't get enough workers, so they need to use these workers since they can't get workers. The female US part will be the excuse.

Biden and Blinken have been trying to launch a "color revolution" in Israel since late last year. Funny thing is their attempts keep failing, for two main reasons. 1) about 80% (at least) of Israeli citizens now say that this war MUST go on until Hamas is completely destroyed; no new government can change that, and 2) every time Biden and Qatar come up with some grand bargain ceasefire Hamas jumps out of its hole for a second and shrieks "No Ceasefire! No Deals! No hostages for you! ALLAHU AKHBAR!!!" and kills all their efforts.
Biden and Blinken are trying to push Benny Gantz into being their hit man. I don't think he can do it.

Seems like if hiring is restricted to female legal citizens and immigrant workers, but you can not fill the demand, then you would default to removing the sex-of-employee requirement and go with a general hiring of qualified citizens and legal residents.
Not jump directly to illegal aliens.

He did an hour long talk somewhere, possibly TED, discussing pixel art back in the day, and the tricks and techniques used. One of the more interesting techniques was palette-shifting - 256 slots (8-bit), but a larger range of colors to fit them into.
And he demonstrated animation - flowing water, night/day cycles, rain. Simply by altering the colors in the bit-buckets. And a trick for some 16-bit console where a forest suddenly became the sky, using the same image but carefully handling those slots. After all, slots #100, #152, and #154 will look the same if you set them all to Emerald Green, right?
