This is the moment Rej's open source Z80 woke up and said hello!

After Zilog’s April 2024 announcement, ReJ quickly taped out a drop-in replacement to preserve retrocomputing and legacy systems.

Taped out on TT07, it's a landmark in democratizing chip design.

Obstetricians & gynecologists: #RFKJr is full of shit:
"As ob-gyns who treat patients every day, we have seen firsthand how dangerous #COVID19 infection can be during pregnancy and for newborns who depend on maternal antibodies from the #vaccine for protection. We also understand that despite the change in recommendations from HHS, the science has not changed. It is very clear that COVID-19 infection during pregnancy can be catastrophic and lead to major disability..."

So, lets see if I got this right.

Saturn V, 13 launches, 100% success rate.
SpaceX Starship, 9 launches, 0% success rate.

Seems to me that Nazi rocket engineers are not what they used to be...

This is absolutely about overwhelming the system. And the fact that Miller is pushing to escalate suggests there's probably more to come down the line. As lots of serious people pointed out: "Mass deportations now" was not just some slogan.

“But how did SpaceX get here? Why have they spent billions of dollars of taxpayer money on a concept that has such a fundamental problem?

Simple. Musk isn’t an engineer and doesn’t understand iterative design, and now SpaceX and NASA are facing a sunk cost fallacy.”

Correlation does not prove causation! One popular example: shark attacks are more likely when ice cream sales are higher.

This relationship does not suggest that ice cream sales somehow cause shark attacks, however. Rather, both are related to some third factor—in this case, the activation of mind-control satellites, which are used both to market ice cream and to control sharks.

Including the two new #curl CVEs, the share of all #curl CVEs that are "C mistakes" are now at 39.16%

A trend? A fluke? We need to give it another half-decade or so to be able to tell for sure.

(Flaws listed as "C mistakes" are vulnerabilities that we deem are likely to not have happened should we have used a memory-safe language rather than C)

Universal basic income

Childcare & paid time off

Education

clean air & water

Affordable housing

Legalized abortion

Address climate change

Stop Being Fascists

It’s really not that hard.

New Amiga game engine: Sevgi Engine

Sevgi Engine is a new open source video game engine which provides the required tools and generates the boilerplate code to create high performing Amiga games using only the C programming language. It is built around the ScrollingTricks archive by Georg Steger:

The outright wrecking of the scientific infrastructure in the US under the current administration chilled me to my bone. Kept me doomscrolling. But I finally found a way to do something positive, in a small way: I dedicated some storage space and a bit of my internet connection to a decentralized backup of deleted research data.
I am happy to report that @SafeguardingResearch 's torrent swarm now has ca 14 TB storage and a Gbit connection more.

Happy Birthday to Rachel Carson, marine biologist, author and environmentalist extraordinaire, who was born on this day on May 27, 1907, in Springdale, PA. Her book Silent Spring and other writings are credited with igniting the global environmental movement. Shining a light on the dangers of chemical pesticides, the book led to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides and ultimately led to the creation of the EPA.
