Within hours of Ofcom enforcing the new law last week, Gaza and Ukraine content was being blocked, while pickup artist content and child modelling sites were. That’s entirely by design, writes Kate Sim.
I know companies don't want to hear this but the best way to counter cheaters is to give control to the community via private servers so those private servers can moderate themselves and ban cheaters.
yep. removing community server ruined online games (wtf are on-line games ) ofc they don't want it because it could undermine there microtransactions and prevent killing games.
@verita84 Are you retarded? Sure it might make it easier for admins to abuse their power, but at the same time players can just go do a different server where admins DON'T abuse their power. Community servers obviously won't completely eliminate cheaters, but what sounds more effective? One staff team managing hundreds, maybe even thousands of servers and reports of cheaters, or each each server being community ran and having their own staff team that deals with reports just from their own server?
@verita84 How the fuck does a barely functional and easily bypassable anticheat sound better than a server having its own dedicated staff team that can respond to cheaters significantly quicker?

Debouncing, in the context of programming, means to discard operations that occur too close together during a specific interval, and consolidate them into a single invocation.
I no longer do quantum computing consulting, so have this one for free: if someone tells you that quantum computing is five years away, or that quantum computing will give you "unlimited" anything, they're lying.
The less snarky version of that is that the metric to watch out for is logical qubit count — not projected number of years. Anyone can claim five years, not anyone can build the thousands upon thousands of logical qubits needed to solve small examples of problems for which quantum advantages exist.
The even more down to brass tacks version of the above is that we know beyond any shadow of a doubt that quantum computers will not, if ever built, be good at everything. They will, by absolute and mathematical necessity, be special-purpose devices that can potentially speed up solutions to specific problems.
You can't use quantum computers to replace classical computational resources *in general*.
Recently I've been finding ChatGPT is INCREDIBLY useful as a research assistant for spitballing invention ideas.
Obviously it makes hard to spot yet critical mistakes, but generally it can give you an idea about material behavior, processes currently used in industry, costs of things, etc.
So far I have a queue of about 5 or 6 novel ideas that need to be tried in practice to see if they actually work, but could be very interesting little low cost DIY friendly devices that could replicate processes that are generally very costly.
Also I've eliminated probably 50 bad ideas already because GPT pointed out likely problems with them that I had not thought of...

OpenFlexure is an open source laboratory-grade microscope used to diagnose malaria and cancer. In this interview Julian Stirling, one of the core developers, tells us how the project evolved from its academic roots to a diverse community of people who use it, build it, sell it, teach it & develop it. OpenFlexure is manufactured in many places to build local capacity. The next step is medical device certification, a slow but worthwhile process.
This is really interesting. I think doctors in 3rd world countries are something very abstract for the average person on here, but a 300€ microscope with 250nm resolution is kind of a big deal for independent researcher / makers who are playing with either photolithography or small particles.
Different tee, same scruff. This is the recent shirt from @DomainTools Volunteer Day - when the entire company is given time off and encouraged to find a place to help in whatever community we’re part of.
Everything’s an ecosystem, and the more we each do to make things better, however small, the greater emergent phenonema those goods may become.

Compiling GCC and Binutils Toolchain for a new OS is fine but the rest programs, oh god, a true psico-somatic headache for sure.
I am learning alot more trying to build a UNIX Operating System from scratch btw, a Micro Kernel with GNU Userland but I know it will be for a long time and alot of patience ofcourse.
A few days ago, OpenAI released an open-source language model for the first time in a very long time. It had been promised for a while, but the deadline kept being pushed for “safety” concerns.
— one rainy spring day a couple years ago, a few dozen Gold Finches showed up in our yard hunting for worms. It was such a colorful sight, so many bright yellow birds darting here and there, especially on a gray dreary day! 😍
yes the drip drop I care not days are great for just taking a muddy hike and listening to the to the birds who don’t give a whoot, or chirp less about the light rain.

August 6, 1945 is a day that served as a marker in human history. At 8:15 AM, the B-29 Enola Gay dropped the world's first atomic bomb to be used in combat on the city of Hiroshima. There are thousands of stories that could be told of that day but one woman who survived described it best when she said that she emerged from her shelter into "a city of death."

A team of astronomers has taken the sharpest-ever picture of the unexpected interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, using the crisp vision of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
Now, Hubble's observations from space are allowing astronomers to more accurately estimate the size of the comet’s solid icy nucleus. The upper limit on the diameter of the nucleus is 5.6 km, but it could be as small as 320 m across, researchers report.
Though the Hubble images put tighter constraints on the nucleus size compared to previous ground-based estimates, the solid heart of the comet presently cannot be directly seen, even by Hubble. Further observations, including by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, will help refine our knowledge about the comet, including its chemical makeup.
Hubble also captured a dust plume ejected from the Sun-warmed side of the comet, and the hint of a dust tail streaming away from the nucleus. Hubble’s data show that the comet is losing dust in a similar manner to that from previously seen Sun-bound comets originating within our Solar System.
The big difference is that this interstellar visitor originated in some other stellar systems, elsewhere in our Milky Way galaxy.
3I/ATLAS is traveling through our Solar System at roughly 210 000 km per hour, the highest speed ever recorded for a Solar System visitor. This breathtaking sprint is evidence that the comet has been drifting through interstellar space for many billions of years. The gravitational slingshot effect from innumerable stars and nebulae the comet passed added momentum, ratcheting up its speed. The longer 3I/ATLAS was out in space, the higher its speed grew.
This comet was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) on 1 July 2025 at a distance of 675 million km from the Sun. 3I/ATLAS should remain visible to ground-based telescopes until September, after which it will pass too close to the Sun to observe. It is expected to reappear on the other side of the Sun by early December.
Icy wanderers such as 3I/ATLAS offer a rare, tangible connection to the broader galaxy. To actually visit one would connect humankind with the Universe on a far greater scale. To this end, ESA is preparing the Comet Interceptor mission. The spacecraft will be launched in 2029 into a parking orbit, lying in wait for a suitable target – a pristine comet from the distant Oort Cloud that surrounds our Solar System, or, unlikely but highly appealing, an interstellar object.
While it is improbable that we will discover an interstellar object that is reachable for Comet Interceptor, as a first demonstration of a rapid response mission that waits in space for its target, it will be a pathfinder for possible future missions to intercept these mysterious visitors.
The research paper based on Hubble observations will be published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
We present high angular resolution observations of the third known interstellar interloper, 3I/ATLAS, from the Hubble Space Telescope. The object is clearly active at 3.
I do see a move away from any RealSecurity™ and a move towards check-mark compliance potentially even accelerated by all the regulatory compliance requirements - While said requirements COULD have been used to improve security posture they are effectively starving effective measures (and thereby current best practices) further increasing security poverty.

By September 30, the White House plans to reclassify 50,000 federal workers and assign allies to key roles. This widespread expansion of Trump’s de facto political army will have brutal effects on the crackdown against Palestine in higher education.
