SpaceX fans quickly began calling for a rescue mission.

I don’t see evidence in the article of anyone calling on them (SpaceX and Musk) for a rescue: not even the anonymous fans. There is only the unsubstantiated claim. And I don’t see even a claim that anyone other than the alleged anonymous fans are calling on them.

It does use the terms “theft” and “improper transfer”

The referenced article is not new. It was published in 2022.

I’m sceptical that it is the first-ever recording of a dying human brain. I recall significant interest in and controversy regarding changes in EEG recordings around the time of death back in the 1980s and EEG was in use and the issue was controversial for decades before that.

Time to loss of brain function and activity during circulatory arrest reports findings of a literature review published in 2016 and many of the reviewed publications were published much earlier than that.

Guideline 6: Minimum Technical Standards for EEG Recording in Suspected Cerebral Death records some details of early standards, practices and literature going back at least to the 1960s. It is focused on use of EEG to confirm death as opposed to EEG recording ‘of a dying human brain’, but it is inconceivable, given the intense interest at the time, that there were no EEG recordings around the time of death prior to the recording reported in 2022.

This is not to suggest that there was nothing novel in the reported findings, but the ‘first-ever recording’ in the headline is, I think, sensationalist misrepresentation.

It says “designed to have high levels of energy density for space-constrained areas”. I take it that if you need more power but don’t have space for more of the lower cost alternatives, then these might be worth the expense.

It’s not a problem. Tariffs are brining in twice that every month, according to Trump. He can bail them out and subsidise them and still have plenty left over. Because that’s how free market capitalism works: with government subsidies and bailouts.

Nothing good comes from trying to appease a bully.

It’s true that intense bombing was done before, but the intensity of bombing in Vietnam and surrounding countries was unprecedented and some of the most intensive of that bombing was done under the command of Nixon.

To call Nixon the ‘father’ of carpet bombing is, of course, hyperbole, but the exaggeration isn’t extreme.

It’s harvesting clicks for money, as far as I can see.

It’s a long time since I played moonlander. I’m not sure which version but last on a pdp-8 with a manually toggled in cheat code for more fuel, so I didn’t crater every time. Thanks for the nostalgia.

I’m not running your configuration so can’t tell you with the assurance that I have it working but Forwarding ports with firewalld appears to address port forwarding to rootless podman using firewalld. If that doesn’t work for you you might need to clarify what your firewalld configuration is that obscures the client IP. I wouldn’t expect a simple port mapping to affect IP address.

There are guides available. Search for ‘Linux kernel debugging’ or ‘Linux module debugging’, depending on which you are more interested in. And, of course, learn about the relevant parts of the kernel.

You might have a look at Debugging kernel and modules via gdb¶. The kernel.org site has a wealth of information.

What happened to “A rising tide lifts all boats”?

They may accept the ongoing cost, but that doesn’t make it free. There may be no cash payment, but that doesn’t make it free. Cost comes in many forms. The glib misrepresentation of the transaction is disappointing.

It’s not free.

If it’s a US company, it’s not sovereign for any country other than USA. In any other country, it’s US spyware and theft of intellectual property, from a moral perspective if not a corrupt legal perspective.

On Debian 12 and 13 with xfce, I am using ibus and Intelligent Pinyin (ibus-libpinyin) for Chinese and English. In the past I have used fcitx5 and various other IMEs. Once they’re configured there isn’t much difference between ibus and fcitx5, for my simple use. My Chinese is rudimentary but my Chinese wife is happy with the configuration. I switch input methods with a configurable keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Space is my preference) or menu on the ibus item in the Status Tray Plugin of the xfce panel. Changing is easy.

I have task-chinese-s-desktop and task-chinese-t-desktop installed. These bring in fcitx5 and various fonts, which suggests that whoever created these tasks think fcitx5 is better than ibus. And I installed ibus-libpinyin, which brings in ibus. I don’t recall why now - it was long ago. So I have ibus and fcitx5 installed but have been using only ibus for the past few years. It works well enough that I haven’t revisited it. If I were installing again now, I might choose fcitx5 instead of ibus.

I see there are also task-japanese-desktop and task-korean-desktop, which you might find helpful.

Actually, that makes a lot of sense…

Given that Trump is the best president ever (I’m sure I have heard people say so), then anyone who opposes him is, ipso facto, an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

The more I think about it, the more obvious it is. I mean, why even have another election?

Technology: UK judge warns lawyers about risks of AI use in court

In my opinion, given all the information available about how unreliable LLMs are, anyone using AI professionally without thorough validation of the outputs used should be found negligent.

For example OpenAI’s recent Why language models hallucinate - which reports an accuracy rate below 25% for two of their models. But there have been many other reports from diverse sources, for a long time. And, in my experience, it only takes a few minutes of interaction to experience significantly false output.
