This is interesting. I wrote an Invaders clone in assembly for x86 in the early 90s; typically you didn't use OS calls then either, not because it was "bare metal" (though it could have been) but because int 21h was horribly

Most of the people featured will still be alive; what's the legal status of the video re. privacy, I wonder?

I bet you it's the children's bath-time songs that did it. Very mumsnet-on-the-razz.

"the DSA bans targeted advertising based on a person’s sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or political beliefs and puts restrictions on targeting ads to children." So I can still apparently, for example, target running shoes

I've definitely had situations on Spotify where I've been listening to Abba and the Scissor Sisters, and started to be offered playlists aimed at LGBT people, but this is musical-choice targeting. It just happens that I like stuff

The ban on advertising targeted at things like sexual preferences will be interesting to watch. As some people have pointed out, Netflix for example seems to be very good at targeting people who are "questioning", anecdotally befo

No, because as the article explains, the probability isn't of the "which pocket are my keys in" kind.

Disagree. The old version of (largely youth) counterculture died when the Internet happened and sped up the time to propagation and commodification of any given fashion or thought. I agree that now counterculture sits with the deplorables.

Yes, I think they described it as 'peanuts'. It's in the form of investment as well, but if they don't want it and we can't afford it, it's odd that it carries on. I'm sure it's a complex matter.

Inflammation can be rather subtle. Someone ostensibly unaffected could have a load of biomarkers of inflammation, and it's associated with all sorts of odd and bad stuff. This is a strange study, perhaps the press release is just dodgy

Depression is the probably the hidden variable here. Surprised it wasn't called out in this remarkable press release. The photo is an interesting choice. Role of inflammation in depression: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

I bet information about his software is around elsewhere, and now ChatGPT will make up even more. I don't know how this is fixed. Structured queryable data, I guess.

Fair, but we don't have desert to build on or a single-party state, so there is that.

Because it has meaning to me.

And yet it mediates your entire existence. Without both objective (or analytical) science and subjective (or holistic) theology we're trying to understand the world with one hand tied behind our backs. Personally I think understanding

> Religion is never wrong That is complete rubbish. There are plenty of examples from East and West. In certain parts of China, rival monasteries would have a throwdown over theology, hold a debate, and the losing monastery would convert

I liked my first Next so much I ordered in the second Kickstarter too, so now I'm waiting for my next Next.

I wonder what became of that. Of course, fast forward to now and they could migrate to ZX Nexts. :-)

Horrible misuse of the term Minicomputer. So triggering!
