  > In book 2, when Telemachos presents his case against the Suitors before the assembly, he’s taking part in a 7th century political process, with heralds and standardised seating arrangements. But in book 3 when he goes on a voyage in search of his father, the idea is that we’re in ‘olde times’: there are no modern mechanisms for travelling between cities or finding housing in a different city. The story transitions back and forth between the contemporary and the purely mythical. > The wo...

  ofc the gag is incommensurably funnier with that buildup and escalation to the high tonic of Endearing Young Charms than the staid basic dominant note merely tying off the loose end of the chord the audience needs to *feel* the would-be assassin's pain through the dissonant splurtch, that the death-drive to get it right and make it stop hits sufficiently hard RE: https://brain.worm.pink/objects/a23ee132-2fd3-4f5b-9a8c-bbea4c40d391

  > Microsoft’s digitally signed UEFI bootloader for Windows is the sole anchor of trust on Windows machines. For a component to load during the boot process, the certificate must explicitly sign all other code executed during bootup. > Shims work differently. They’re a secondary trust anchor, and they’re signed by Microsoft using one of its other UEFI certificates. From there, a certificate belonging to the motherboard or software maker that is embedded into the shim authorizes all softwar...

  the most counterproductive sort of satire is the kind that exaggerates the real evil in the fiction and trusts the reader to understand - or rather themselves reconstruct - the reductio ad absurdum a better sort of satire creates a microcosm of a weaker but more obvious form of the real evil, and through the story demonstrates unequivocally (if still by showing more than telling) that even this lesser evil is not to be tolerated

On average, in the United States....

  earlier i mentioned how AI will do for the human mind what cars have done for the body (along with the corresponding changes to our cities and environment to accommodate and force us to accommodate the tech) and one of the thread participants noted that the two are not equal in that cars have a very clear objective non-negotiably falsifiable physical effect of moving actual physical materials through more space in less time but also that nothing about AI use matches the feeling of a joyride b...
