So, is the creator Norwegian, Danish or neither?

Claude is from the US

I went to figure that out. Norwegian

Ages ago (like 2001 or so?) I started building something to automatically archive everything I browse. I used tcpflow (https://www.circlemud.org/jelson/software/tcpflow/). I've seen a fair bit of varions of this idea over the years

Then SSL/TLS started getting widespread and I lost focus. Nowadays, I guess you would build it as an extension in the browser.


Fun exercise in this article: do an alt-f search for the word "ancient".

Note: AWS NLB doesn't terminate TCP for TCP listeners.

It would be great if they introduced mitigations for this vulnerability though.


I cut my teeth on the Sinclair ZX81 in the early 80s. Missed the Spectrum.

I sort of want some kind of physical Spectrum nowadays; or perhaps a USB keyboard made to work like it. Recommendations? =)


Sure, there are lots.

Buy a kit, build your own, e.g. a Harlequin.

Or an improved clone, e.g. a Sizif 512.

https://github.com/UzixLS/zx-sizif-512

Run it in an FPGA, such as an N-Go.

Buy an improved clone. For me the best is the Spectrum Next. I own one.

Or, buy an Arm/Linux based clone that is highly compatible and has better graphics. This is the easiest and maybe cheapest.

If you don't mind descending into a rabbit hole ;-) there's also the LEC series of Spectrum rebuilds, developed over at the tliendhard forum. The hardware is close to the original, and amongst other things includes LEC memory expansion, so you can run CP/M, and the Interface 1 is integrated into the board. https://forum.tlienhard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=4598

And you don't even have to charge them nightly. I kind of want a smartwatch, but not until this is solved.

We use cheap Garmins that track sleep and many other things. Battery lasts a week before it needs charging.

I dont need to track sleep. Or steps. Or hearthbeat.

Those were fun as a toy for dew months, but in the long term, I just dont care.


YES! it's really one of the most annoying things about smart watches. I had a reminder for myself for every evening to charge my watches :D

A decent number of "gotta have them all" fans/whales?

Thanks for writing and then sharing this document. (Kidding. Thanks though.)

Yes, this is as scientific as e.g. sociology.

What do you propose as a more scientifically valid study of this cartoon?

Why does it need to be scientific in the first place?

it doesn't, but you're the one who implied that being unscientific invalidates scholarship

They clearly want to believe it was a valid response, but I didn’t bother responding because we, they, and everybody else, knows it was an obvious cop out.

I feel also than this article is a bit weird.

It start by making citations form Roffat, Takai and Okuda, to blindly classify Porco Rosso as an "anti war propaganda" movie. The article did not even discuss this classification.

- Is "Porco Rosso" anti-war or anti-fascist (or both)?

- Is it even propaganda?

The article cite "The Wind Rises" just to tell than this other movie also have the same themes (war, fascism, planes) but do not even even try to analyze if this other movie is "propaganda" too. At last make a paragraph to compare the two movies.

The article have around 30 citations (including 4 auto-citations) mainly to state the obvious to anybody who have watched the movie or read the Wikipedia page.

And finally the conclusion is something like: "i have see this movie and now is will now state the obvious about it".

At least, try to explain :

- Why "Le temps de cerises"?

- What about "The Princess and the Frog" in the story?

- What was the real meaning of "porco rosso", as an insult, during the fascism period in Italy?


That's mostly a Tesla thing, isn't it? The traditional western car manufacturers figured this out many decades ago.

Ish. Traditional car manufacturers had this figured out but intentionally dropped the plot over the last couple decades because make number go up. Net result: my wife had a mouse die in a vent duct in her 2 year old SUV. We drove a dealership loaner for 8 months waiting for parts. They ended up replacing the entire dash assembly (including gauge clusters, and infotainment unit). Many (most?) modern car transmissions aren't field-serviceable because no parts are available. Any issue with the transmission means the entire unit gets replaced.

This is pretty horrible news that I hadn't really heard about, especially since American cars are so expensive now.

Why was this not a problem in the past? I know covid and tariffs have changed the supply picture a lot but I was vaguely under the impression there was some kind of parts availability requirement for manufacturers.


Lot of European car parts come from Ukraine and that definitely affected the parts availability for euro cars. There definitely has been an adjustment period and I recall in 2021/2022 where European cars would come in to the US without basic features like seat warmers/vents, electronic seat rails, etc etc

Erm. No.

(Which car brand?)

But where did that replacement dash assembly come from? They just intentionally made it less granular because make number go up.

I see your point, but it's a slightly different one.
