  5. i guess "god's wrath will throw fire upon the sodomites" is what passes for a #libertarian take in 2025, because this is one of the main guys trying to build the #NetworkState.

    (he's the CEO of #Praxis, "the world's first digital nation" that's funded by a lot of the crypto bros including Peter Thiel, #Balaji, Joe Lonsdale, the #Winklevoss twins, #Paradigm (big crypto fund), a #Worldcoin guy, and a bunch of others). cc: @gilduran.com @gilduran

  6. Co prawda, to tekst za paywallem (EDIT: już nie!) i do tego druga część (link do pierwszej jest we wstępie), ale chyba warto się skusić. Oto historia walki producentów kart graficznych, a dla starszych graczy sentymentalna podróż w czasie, kiedy CD-Action oznaczał na czerwono dema wymagające akceleratora 3D.

  7. #SiliconValley #Shysters Indicted : Founder of #SanFrancisco based #AI chatbot company and his #Georgetown JD lawyer wife have been indicted on over 20 counts for investment #fraud schemes that prosecutors say raked in $60 Million via use of #forgery, identity theft, faked #financial statements etc

    The wife, also the firm's #attorney, faces an additional 20 years in #prison for obstruction of #justice if convicted along with husband in schemes to foster their unlawful lavish lifestyles. At one point the legal #scam fraudulently showed #investors documents ensuring they had a $13m cash balance in the account and $69m in annual revenues when their real bank balance was $25.93

    #Funders involved in feeding the greedy fake paper corporation included household name celebs like #SnoopDogg and #JoeMontana.

    Prior to this week's #indictments, the #scheme first unraveled 6 months ago when an article appeared at #VentureBeat announcing abrupt departure of now indicted #CEO.

  8. Joel Morris watched a stale '70s robot flick while #sleepwalking through another wannabe deep tech article. 🤖💤 He ponders if we're all just over-glorified toasters because surely, if left alone with a real movie, he'd be too busy to ask such profound questions. 🍿🛑

  9. Ten tydzień zaczynamy bardzo nietypowo, bo od historii formatu #MP3, #WinAMP, #Napster i generalnie wczesnych lat cyfrowej dystrybucji muzyki. Czasy piękne, nostalgiczne, choć zdecydowanie wątpliwe pod kątem legalności.

  10. #NFL #Patriots #Seahawks #NCAA #Michigan

    Well, if #JimHarbaugh was thinking about returning to the NFL after taking the Michigan #Wolverines to the #NCAAF championship, now is the time, given the announcement that #BillBelichick & #PeteCarroll will be parting ways w/the Patriots & Seahawks, respectively.

    The demise of 2 #SuperBowl winning football coaches also suggests that what makes NFL coaches "great" is having a great QB (and team) who can execute their game plans.

    Belichick was great when he had #JimBrady. Carroll was great when he had #RussellWilson. #BillWalsh was great when he had #JoeMontana & #SteveYoung. And so on . . .

    Harbaugh is already one of the most successful football coaches in the NFL but he still has a Super Bowl win to strive for.

    So, it will be interesting to see if he stays in Michigan or accepts an offer to coach in the NFL again and, if so, which team he'll choose. 🍿

  11. I believe #GitLab issue gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/- is important (not top-prio, but still important), but can't really put my finger on why. Can you help me come up with reasons so I can comment arguing for it to be reopened (and hopefully fixed)?

    Maybe @yournameisinvalid can help? The #bug is about #fileName​s, not names of people, but I suspect there might be some overlap.

    I'd refer to @spolsky's joelonsoftware.com/2003/10/08/, but I fear that might come across as condescending, which isn't my goal.

  12. Today's #MusicOfTheDay is the soundtrack for Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire scored by Joel McNeely and purchased from Varèse Sarabande Records.

    It's a complicated project so here's some details from their site:

    Alongside the Shadows of the Empire multimedia project, (which included a novel, comic book and video game), a full soundtrack was composed by Joel McNeely and recorded with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Samples of the soundtrack were used in both versions of the Shadows of the Empire game, with the Windows version containing many of the full tracks. The album art features the main Star Wars characters and was created by legendary illustrator Drew Struzan (Blade Runner, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future).

    The Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire game was developed and published by LucasArts for Nintendo 64 on December 3, 1996, and sold one million copies in its first year. A version for Microsoft Windows followed in 1997, and sold out reissues have kept the game alive amongst the Star Wars fan base since its release over 20 years ago.

    In the game, which serves as backstory between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the player controls the mercenary Dash Rendar in his efforts to help Luke Skywalker and rescue Princess Leia from Prince Xizor. The game was based on a book by Steve Perry.

    Joel McNeely is an Emmy® Award-winning composer and conductor with more than 100 motion picture and television credits. As a composer for film and television, McNeely has worked with such respected filmmakers as James Cameron, John Lasseter, Seth MacFarlane and George Lucas, among others. McNeely received the Emmy® Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition for “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.”

  13. And post number two offloaded. Completed this frame bag guide, as it was collecting dust for quite a while (started a little more than one year ago). The frame bag is still going strong after more than 5000km of cycling!

  14. Gerry Mulligan Tentette & Quartet, Walking Shoes, 1953 on Capitol

    This LP was a reissue of what had been a 10″ record – Gerry Mulligan And His Ten-Tette – with two tracks from Gene Norman Presents The Gerry Mulligan Quartet added. Just as labels created bonus tracks when reissuing LPs on CD, these were bonus tracks added when the 10″ became a 12″ LP.

    The sessions were held January 29th, January 31st, and May 7th in Los Angeles. The quartet includes Chet Baker, Carson Smith and Larry Bunker. The Tentette includes Chet Baker, Pete Candoli, Bob Enevoldsen, John Graas, Ray Siegal, Bud Shank, Don Davidson, Joe Mondragon and Chico Hamilton or Larry Bunker (in two different sessions).

    My copy, via Cheap Thrills in Montreal QC, is actually a Canadian pressing of a 70s reissue as part of the Quintessence Jazz Series (a budget label from the late 70s – part of the Pickwick International family).

  15. Kiedy wyobrażenie crowd surfingu nie pokrywa się z rzeczywistością. Choć szacunek dla Katy Perry, że w 2008 roku nie bała się tego zrobić na koncercie, który niezbyt kojarzy się z taką zabawą, a mianowicie popowym.
