As I know that DEFCON is at hand, along with various other hacker events for those who don't want to go to Vegas, just *PLEASE* don't take your hazardous device and/or hazmats with you to show off at your table, room, or Crom help you, the restauraunt.

Formal verification with AI assistance used to be something only the Amazon team would do (e.g. for Aurora DSQL). Excited that there's now a project to bring formal methods to an AI agent near you, rather than only in the FAANG ivory tower.

This dude doing Will Wright erasure and saying it doesn't matter... Sim City happened because Will Wright made a game designed to appeal to folks (Raid on Bungeling Bay), loved the map builder, then nerded out on cities to make it into SimCity.
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · last wk.A guy made Sim City and we went yes and the same guy made Sim Ant and Sim Pirates and Sim million other things and each one was great and we all said “this guy is named Sid Meier and I don’t know what his deal is or anything else about him but he likes a bunch of stuff and that makes the games good”

I wonder if this also is why I'm always looking for skeleton watches.
Rikaku@beastmasterrika.bsky.social · 3w agoFuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

When the g-man tells Gordon Freeman to "wake up and smell the ashes" maybe he just brought him some coffee from Krispy Kreme.
My last memory of the TV trolley in school it was tuned to the news in September...
Shell@risu.bsky.social · 3w agoI do feel for children today who will never know the joy of that tv trolley being wheeled in.
I love the idea of an England-France World Cup Final during the USA's 250th anniversary. It'll be like the band getting back together. They should play it in Yorktown.
i feel like lots of people know about balsamic and strawberries, but too many people are sleeping on stone fruit caprese salads, and the people deserve this knowledge
That the city's mayor is the exec that was in charge of internet explorer right until the end is perfect.

I blame D.A.R.E. for this. Modern media literacy needs an understanding of gonzo journalism.
Snowden St.@snowden.st · last mo.you can’t really say “open the schools” for someone knowing MacArthur and not HST, so: make the schools weirder

I like this site and I think people who have a really hard time here are kind of babies. Sometimes I get yelled at on here and some of those times people don’t have a point, but who cares? If anything, I should evangelize for this site more as the last place on the internet I still learn stuff.
Not sure why it's taken so long, but this thread is what finally reminded me of the Railroad Tycoon 2 mission and what a pita it was railroad-tycoon.fandom.com/wiki/Seattle...
Seattle Metra
Seattle Metra is the eighth mission in the Second Century campaign of Railroad Tycoon II, as well as the second mission of the Modern Era act. The premise is the building of a metro system in Seattle....

Ryan Packer@typewriteralley.bsky.social · 3mo agoIs light rail the best way to serve Tacoma or Everett. Clearly not. But with what was put in motion with Sound Move, it became inevitable.
Security researchers turned SMB sharing violations into a branded exploit. Wonder what @larryosterman.github.io and anyone else that has done Windows app-compat think about the "discovery"

We live in a time dominated by deeply unserious people making deeply unserious arguments in support of tragically serious results that serious people would have both avoided and known to avoid.
