Top Story

Tomas de Torquemada, a justice on Brazil's Supreme Federal Court, stepped up his personal vendetta against Twitter by issuing an order - a secret order, because it's what he does - freezing Starlink's finances in Brazil and banning the company from conducting any kind of financial transaction in the country. (Twitter)

The aim is clearly to shut down Starlink in the country which would be awkward because it provides critical services for remote schools and hospitals and Brazil's own military.

Elon Musk has responded by... Making Starlink free for existing customers in Brazil.

Tech News

X has been "caught" warning that links to NPR could be unsafe for human consumption. (Tech Crunch)

Not seeing the problem here.
There's a bug in the RP2350 A0 chip affecting the internal pull-up resistors on the I/O lines (except the dedicated QSPI and USB lines). (Liliputing)

There's a software fix (resetting the I/O buffer as needed to clear the voltage on that pin), a hardware fix (adding external pull-down resistors to compensate) and a lazy bugger fix (just wait for updated A3 or B0 chips to ship).
There's also a Linux distribution that runs on the Pi Pico 2 and RP2350. (Liliputing)

It's not an off-the-shelf release since the Pico 2 / RP2350 only includes 520k of RAM and supports a maximum of 16MB, and also lacks a memory management unit, but it's Linux nonetheless.
Elasticsearch is open source again. (Elastic)

Pretty much. It's AGPL, which depending on your use case may or may not be viable.
A judge has rejected most of the copyright claims against GitHub in a lawsuit regarding the Copilot AI assistant. (Developer Tech)

Because, in short, the claims were bullshit.
Intel's upcoming Lunar Lake laptop CPUs will also have much improved graphics performance. (WCCFTech)

Faster than AMD's previous generation, but slower than the current generation.

That's still pretty good.
MSI is offering a BIOS option to run AMD's 9700X at 105W. (Hot Hardware)

That's the same power as the previous generation 7700X, and gives the 9700X an additional 13% performance on multi-threaded tasks.
California has declared that AI causes cancer. (Ars Technica)

The AI companies and California deserve each other.

6 Good morning, good people. A fun weekend planned of removing 2 items from their safe storage places for cleaning and maybe using one at the range. I refer to the 2 revolvers of Civil War provenance, one documented the other not. Both rigorously inspected by an extremely competent gunsmith and deemed shootable with mild loads. Already shot the undocumented one, I love holding a bit of my country's history.

Here is a chat regarding the shroud. Very long, but worth every minute.

Fascinating stuff.
The imprint on the shroud is very thin, so thin that even with todays technology we cannot replicate it.
The blood on it is AB, same as the blood from various eucharistic miracles.
Also,he discusses the issues with the dating.

Thanks D. One thing I think I recall was that even when the carbon-14 dating supposedly dated the shroud to much later than the time of Christ was there was pollen dating to that time found on the cloth.

58 In any event, the move further muddies X’s image as a platform for free speech, which could drive more users to competitors like open source Mastodon, social networking startup Bluesky, Meta’s Threads and others.

Should we tell them that those companies censor even more harshly than Twitter? Nah. Let it be a surprise.

The news organization last year chose to abandon X, then called Twitter, after Musk had the outlet labeled as “state-affiliated media”

94 major corporations are coming around to the idea that DEI might be bad for business

Because he is sick and perverted.

97 Well, my company has embraced DEI. Everything we do is diverse, equitable, and inclusive for all employees. This includes vacuuming the floors and taking out the trash.

Not my company, pretty much every new executive, VP, Senior Manager, etc is a woman, and a women who is either fresh out of college or from a completely unrelated profession.

And they are all spouting the jargon.

I'm probably going to retire early, so at least I have that to look forward to.

Biden's legacy will be the importation of millions who will now have to be forcibly evicted, or shot dead and sent back to Venezuela in a body bag.

Stolen elections have consequences.

101 They're changing the terms or hiding the details.

DEI is still fully in force. It's the natural outcome of the priority admissions / hiring push of the 80s and 90s.

What, you thought you'd let hyphenated-American tribes have power and they wouldn't do what was best for their hyphenated-American members once they reached the top? hahaha, that's such a Western Civilization way of thinking.

Oh, they've already gotten the hint. That's why they change the terms instead of ending the program.

Same thing happened at my company. Senior staff was forced out by our parent company and replaced with all white women. They immediately started explicitly cheering for DEI during company meetings.

114 Thanks D. One thing I think I recall was that even when the carbon-14 dating supposedly dated the shroud to much later than the time of Christ was there was pollen dating to that time found on the cloth.
Posted by: Farmer, with my own historical take at August 30, 2024 05:16 AM (55Qr6)

Another issue with the Carbon14 dating is that there was a fire at the church it was kept in at one point in it's history. This can affect the results of the carbon dating.
