boot from tape or different type of disk?

@datarama

this has to be the least plausibly written timeline ever...

@aka_pugs

i was trying to remember the boot sequence for a PDP 11/70 from disk.

i think that the 21 addr switches were an octal 17773052 but can't remember what we did with the 7 switches on the right. it was four movements, ending with "start"?

anyone remember better than me?

@Viss

i've spent most of my career knowing i'd need to get my resume to the hiring manager and bypass HR if i wanted to have any chance of not getting "screened". most HR spend no more effort trying to understand position requirements than netflix spent on it's "recommended" algorithms.

LLM resume reviews will be that bad or worse. burn it all down.

@smutmag @derickr @sundogplanets

the past also argues that he's good at scamming government funds from legit projects and science for his scams. we need to be sure our taxes aren't misused.

@LianaBrooks

yes and yes

@trabern @sundogplanets

i remember all the civil rights stuff from the 60s/70s and we're right back there again too. constant vigilance is needed to not regress.

i love science, since the assumption in science is that you always need to know where you've been, what's worked and not worked, and hopefully you don't revisit dead ends.

@n_dimension @sundogplanets

sadly, "fix" in the veterinary sense of the word...

@sundogplanets

talking about it in terms like this is how we'll get the press and public more aware. hopefully before it's too late.

@sundogplanets

"AI winter"... truly scary...

@funnymonkey

Yes!

UBI, universal healthcare, and free education for all is how we start to level out some of the gross inequalities in our society.

@babe

why not both?

@catsalad

a cat.

i talk to myself all the time and pretend i'm talking to the cat.

@Viss

sometimes, the community thing to do is grab a bucket and fight the fire. sometimes, it's to just sit in your folding chair with your marshmallows, smore fixings, and hotdogs and enjoy the fire...

@alvan

"engagement" is really a misnomer. in social media, it's just views, i.e. "how many people look at my posts and hang on my words".

@alvan @etchedpixels

huh. so they admitted out loud that politicians like them are just publicity whores and not thought leaders and legislators/leaders that journalists will naturally want to follow?

@fasterthanlime

well, *now* you’ve done it…

@cstross

there is nothing more guaranteed for pygmy ponies on springs to be sold as anti-gravity unicorns with lasers than an IPO road show for tech....

@Annacats

i sometimes find it carthartic to argue with various family cats. the cats seem oblivious, so burden on either of us.
