Before there was Smash Bros., the Sega Saturn had Keriotosse!, with a similar gameplay premise right down to a bunch of unlockable fighters. To expedite access to all those characters, Bo Bayles came up with an Action Replay code to unlock them all — read about it in Double Dime’s story:

You know MAGA is getting desperate when they resort to arguing that Daddy Trump is trying to make you a man by putting you through economic misery.

Of course, they're selling the pitch with misogyny so over-the-top I just laughed at it.

If all this means is that you don't get in trouble for calling someone by pronouns based on actual sex (the "traditional" way) rather than by their claimed gender, then that's a good thing.

Fuck I need to write blog post about it. I feel lile #MAGA and far rights do not understand that "#law" is not something written by #politicians. Its something people believe in and respect.

Once you fuck around with people who have nothing to loose you will see that they dont respect law anymore.

great post on printers, if a little depressing. I've always wondered if there is such a thing as an open source, assemble it yourself printer, like some 3d printer projects ?

Is it weird to anyone else that there isn't a strong community developed open source 2d printer project? It's one of the most familiar touchstones where everyone recognizes enshittification, they're literally snitching on their owners while picking their pockets, and even beyond that, they're constant sources of frustration because they work so poorly. I don't personally have the technical knowhow, but I'm POSITIVE the maker community does!

Wang has a history of coauthoring papers with academics working and studying at sensitive universities, on sensitive topics. I hope this isn't the beginning of an inhuman dragnet.
in reply to Hovav Shacham

@hovav So I say sensitive and it definitely understates Wang's contributions to computer science - his h-index alone puts him within the 80th percentile of researchers. It's hard to be influential and prolific without some of your work being sensitive

In 2023-2024 alone, he specialized in confidential computing, info leaks, and exploitation. There isn't a singular answer which sticks out.

Some of his research (e.g. Wang et al 2024) is with coauthors based at China Academy of Science institutions which have been subject to some major scrutiny. I don't think this alone has been cause for concern in the past, but who knows these days.

It's possible he was considering changing employment, perhaps to a PRC university, and that alone is enough to trigger a major investigation. I consider this a chilling effect that will cause more brain drain. I don't blame anyone for getting perturbed by that level of suspicion.

Or it's possible that some more precedented kind of misappropriation or breach occurred. That would be a shame.

confidential computing, info leaks, and exploitation


Color me confused. Those are mainstream topics in systems security research, published at the mainstream academic security conferences. I work on many of the same topics and publish at the same venues [cs.utexas.edu/~hovav/publicati…]; is my research "sensitive"?

I see what they would like to set up clearly: He becomes entrenched, they continue to decimate what's left of our government, and work towards their "North American Technate" idea. Trump would be figurehead "King" but the real power would be Musk, Zuck, Bezos, Thiel, et al. Like little regional Baronies and the like. It seems like it could happen that way.

Did you ask that to our government? I received this hour ago the petiton to take off his canadian cityzenship ! This is to inform you that petition e-5359, which you signed on the petitions website of the House of Commons, was closed on March 23, 2025, upon dissolution of Parliament for the general election, and therefore it will not receive a government response. The petitions website will once again accept submissions approximately three weeks after the general election. !!

I spent 20 minutes looking through my music CDs for my copy of Arling & Cameron's Music for Imaginary Films, only to discover it gone. I probably lent it to someone ages ago and never got it back.

I found an unused, still-shrink wrapped copy on eBay for $6, cheaper than the $9.99 Apple Music was charging for digital-only.
