There isn't enough context in the article to work out where Lucas thinks AI can help. It would be over thing using AI to help with VFX donkey work compared to for example replacing your screenwriter.

Could anyone explain what a "hypervisor crack" is in this context? I'm very familiar with hypervisors but less so in relation to gaming.

Is this just using a hypervisor to virtualise system services the DRM uses to assure it it's not being monitored or interfered with at the OS/kernel level? Do you have to intercept networking as well?

Just an early example of AI psychosis

In QEMU all of our CI environments are replicable locally as docker/podman images. However usually flaky CI is due to races exposed on overloaded runners so I often also run make -j(nproc) at the same time to simulate that. A retry script is also useful to get an idea of how stable a test is. Having sanitizer builds can also help.

To be fair to him he certainly seems to have tried to be careful. I have no idea if he's actually a qualified sparky.

I thought Episode IV was in the initial crawl text.

ETA I've just checked and apparently it was added in the special editions, the original 1977 crawl just started with the story.

Sony can afford to discount on the promise of online sales and planned cost reduction. I'm not sure Microsoft are going to manage another Xbox.

I mean usually the instructor just gets out the plane while on the ground and tells you to go round again. I'm not sure what was going on with this one but they at least seemed to think their student was ready given the words "you know what to do".

He was never my favourite character but he played a valuable role showing how an alien could take to heart the ideals of the Federation.

I watched the 7.10 repeat. It was an exilerating if a little stressful start to my Monday morning.

AI used to cover a wide field of study, nowadays it seems to be all about the generative models. Oh how we've moved on since that original summer symposium.

I was happy TLC revived Mock the Week. Is comedy panel shows a new direction they are going in? Do you think they will all come to YT?

 

Perhaps the biggest libvirt related piece of work here has been to reworking of the QMP API docs to make them easier to navigate. QMP is how libvirt probes for functionality as well as handling things like introspection of the machines and dealing with things like hotplug.

 

Post Office paid £600m to continue using Horizon despite its broken state. Hopefully this should be a wake up call to government about how it goes about large software projects.

In my opinion anything written for government should come with a full license for the source code (preferably open source) so they have the ability to change suppliers if there are any issues.

 

For virtualization there are improvements for VirtIO, vfio and Loongarch CPU hotplug. On the emulation side additions for Arm, RiscV and even some speed ups for x86 string ops. On the documentation side a whole bunch of work has been done on QMP API to make it clearer and more navigable.

 

I was trying to add a Matter device from my phone but it kept saying I needed to install the companion app from the Play store even though I was in the companion app (from f-droid). I've installed the Bluetooth proxy app as well but it made note difference.

Does anyone know what's going on?

 

It always seemed to me that QAnon was some sort of online LARP on 4chan that got out of control and metastasized. It's left a trail of broken families and swept into the mainstream with branding and everything. After the predictions of Trump's return to power after Jan 6th it seems to have fizzled out. Did QAnon stop posting? Did their adherents just glom onto the next crazy theory? How many followers now disavow the theories of QAnon?

 

This is an interesting article of the fish shells journey of covering to rust which I found quite interesting. I'm especially interested because of projects I work with that are currently experimenting with rust.

 

The long awaited Cass report has been published looking at gender affirming care in the NHS.

 
 

Are there any good recommendations for water control valves? I want to control a automatic watering system and need something to attach to the garden tap. Open firmware would be a bonus.

 

I found this post interesting for my layman's understanding of LLMs and some of the underlying architecture choices that are made.
