So we're racist just because we're white but we also supposedly vote for the 'liberal' parties which call us all racist because we happen to be white. We also have low self-esteem, are introverts and more of such nonsense. All that from photo showing profiles in a forest with the sun casting rays between the trunks, no faces visible, no EXIF data in the photo. Oh, we're also supposed to be in Nova Scotia.
The only thing it got correct is the fact that we're white or 'Caucasian', insert the currently mandated term. The rest is total nonsense. They insist they can target us with ads for ecological dog food and other pet paraphernalia. Good luck with that, we tend to block all ads and our photos are not stored anywhere within reach of these data parasites.
> or they are voting but getting ignored by the rulers?
That is what happened in at least:
- the Netherlands (votes for Wilders)
- Sweden (votes for SD)
- Germany (votes for AfD)
- France (votes for whatever that party is called nowadays)
- the UK (votes for Brexit largely based around migration issues)
- Belgium (votes for Vlaams Blok)
- Italy (votes for Meloni)
- Austria (votes for FPÖ)
...and I can go on. In most countries in Europe voters have spoken out against what they consider to be excessive asylum-based migration from non-Western cultures without requirements regarding assimilation or integration but not much has happened politically until very recently when the EU parliament voted to increase deportation efforts [1]. It remains to be seen whether this law will have any measurable impact given the fact that the EU actively supports many NGOs which aim to achieve the opposite of what the law states.
Ah yes, the Chinese will be the benevolent overlords of the world, of course. They'll be so much more benevolent than the previous benevolent overlords, or the ones before them, let alone the ones after the Chinese hegemony has finally been broken after decades of abuse and corruption. History does not repeat but it certainly rhymes.
It's heartbreaking. There's plenty of US History to be ashamed of, but lots of accomplishments too.
We've not just thrown it away, but but set fire to it so that if it ever is possible to wrest control away from these vandals, it could take generations to repair.
Likewise, there's plenty about China to be wary of, but the way that they have collectively invested in the country to move it from a backwater to a premiere superpower (without the shortcut that WWII gave the US), must be recognized as a triumph.
We could be living in prosperity for all, but no, we have to argue over pronouns and bathrooms. FFS, we can do better than that!
Hm, doesn't seem to work. Let's try the X11 version:
make ams-x11
./build.pl -i exhibit graft skif minivx xv68k freemountd interact-x11
...
T=0.275s ERROR: OpenDF is unimplemented
Nope, it seems to be missing something. OpenDF? All I find is this: https://github.com/PrjEnt/OpenDF, a long-abandoned project which seems to be a more compact version of another abandoned thing.
The FSSpec calls added in System 7 are mostly new interfaces to existing File Manager functionality. There's an actual high-level `OpenDF()` call, which is like `FSOpen()` except that it won't try to open a driver when the name begins with `.`.
Some applications call `OpenDF()` without checking its availability, but fall back to `FSOpen()` or equivalent if `OpenDF()` returns `paramErr`, which is what the parent is witnessing. See `68k/modules/ams-fs/Files.cc` in the `metamage_1` repo.
If the error message is confusing people, maybe it's time to implement `OpenDF()` for real.
It's not you; it's me. My implementation of LoadScrap() (which is called at startup) is calling FSOpen(), and it turns out the glue code for that tries OpenDF() before falling back to PBOpen(). TIL.
Strange it errors out on given that I assume the thing does run elsewhere. The X11 version sometimes shows the opening screen but any attempt at interaction leads to the mentioned error. The VLC version shows the error directly.
Yes, that works, the tic-tac-toe thing appears and remains even though the error message regarding OpenDF is shown. In other words that error message can be ignored, at least as long as whatever is in AMS_APPNAME does not require whatever OpenDF provides.
You're apparently also not that well versed in English idioms given that "doing the Lord's work" is a well-known phrase which does not need explaining to the average speaker (native or not) of that language.
Doing the Lord’s Work
When someone handles a task that benefits everyone — especially something inconvenient, uncomfortable, or ignored by others.
Often used humorously. Doesn’t always refer to religion.
Can describe someone sacrificing time, energy, or sanity to improve a situation nobody else wanted to deal with.
“Whoever fixed the Wi-Fi before the meeting started is doing the Lord’s work.”
I recently made a 'notification-driven RPC' app for Android to help me help others:
Notifactor (Android App)
A lightweight native Android app that intercepts notifications on the device and triggers actions based on configurable rules.
The app uses Android's NotificationListenerService API. Once granted notification access it receives a callback for every notification posted on the device. It then checks each notification against configured rules and runs the configured action.
Why would you want this?
I don't know why you would want this but I can tell you why I made it: to make it easier to control some functions on Android devices used by people I often help using them in some way. My mother's Android TV (which I use to communicate with her through Linphone), phone and tablet sometimes stop doing the right thing. I live about 1300 km to the north of where she lives so I can't just hop on my bike to fix things. Thus far I relied on a set of Termux scripts on these devices to keep a reverse ssh tunnel open to an endpoint on my server but this has a number of drawbacks: the tunnel is not always there when I need it due to WiFi dropouts and other similar problems and the constant connection uses battery power on the phone and tablet. If only I could cause the tunnel to be created when I need it and brought down when it is not needed... Well, that is possible using Notifactor by sending a notification on a specific channel (ntfy refers to these as topics) whereupon Notifactor runs a Termux script which manages the tunnel (etc.).
Thus far Chinese weaponry has not shown to be as effective as promised. Maybe this YKJ-1000 is the exception, maybe it is not. Maybe exported versions of the weaponry have been crippled in some way, maybe not. The future will tell. The future, also, which I expect to bring down the price of western weaponry, probably not as low as the Chinese equivalents but closer to those than to those demanded by the old defence dinosaurs.
What's your source for this? There isn't really a lot of credible, publicly available information on what you're saying... just anecdotes. In the India v. Pakistan conflict recently a French produced Indian Rafale was downed via a Chinese long range air-to-air missle (PL-15) from a a Chinese produced J-10 jet. Even if they don't have the same hit rate, you can buy 10x for the same price.
Even if that's the case, it may be possible to make it up in sheer numbers.
That's a 15 to 1 ratio. You can throw 15 missiles for the same price than 1.
Even if they're 10% effective compared to the expensive ones, you may still have the advantage.
You need to be able to launch those missiles which requires some platform to do so. If this happens to be a ground-based platform is will be detected directly upon launch of the first missile and targeted for destruction. It better be an agile mobile platform like e.g. the Archer artillery system or it will probably not launch more than a single missile. If the platform is airborne it will have a limited carrying capability which partly negates the mentioned 15 to 1 ratio.
> ...the odd grammatical error convinced me that it wasn't the result of someone asking an LLM...
That's easily solved by models intentionally introducing the odd grammatical error here and there, just enough to convince the sceptics, not so many as to give the impression of being unlettered. A bit like the mythical 'RHS button' (which stands for 'real human shitty' but in reality is called the 'Shuffle' or 'Swing' function) which is supposed to make mechanically-precise drum machines sound more like human drummers.
> When chatGPT can finally one-shot Microsoft product queries with the correct platform, release, license, and 'gotchas'.. I'll know we've hit AGI.
In that case a simple few lines of whatever language you prefer would class as "AGI". Here's a sample session using the non-existing oracle.sh tool;
oracle.sh 'tell me how to do ${thing} in Microsoft ${product} and which licence requirements that brings'
(computer noises)
oracle: Avoid using Microsoft ${product}, use one of the alternatives listed in this web search:
https://search.engine.org/search?q=alternatives%20to%20Microsoft%20${product}
