  • Russia Created a Mothership Drone Controlled via Starlink

    跳过

  • It's used for LAUNCHING drones of war, guys. It's not a drone of war itself. It doesn't participate in the war, it doesn't kill people. It's a non-war application of starlink, guys.The drones it launches could just as easily be used for scientific research.It's not a war drone.Perfectly legitimate use of American technology that is in no way supporting an aggressive regimes strategy of targeting civilians.Starlink is not being used for military applications, and should still be a private company. It shouldn't be militarised government owned system like GPS. Cause the mother drones could be launching science drops.

  • "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership

  • But if less people are watching the other big channels because the content quality has slipped, then there is less people spending less time on the platform, so less non-subscribers that might be recommended an LTT video.

  • Probably doesn't help that a bunch of the decent channels were bought by private equity and are now churning out boring, safe and uninteresting content.

    https://youtu.be/hJ-rRXWhElI (a yt link, lol).

    A brief summary from https://www.dailydot.com/news/youtube-channel-private-equity/

    Some channels like Donut Media, Veritasium, and Task and Purpose have been acquired publicly. Others, such as Dude Perfect and Coco Melon, have been acquired more privately, with no public disclosure.

    Plenty others. A key giveaway is when a channel diverges their risk. When the front man who is the reason you have watched the channel suddenly has co-hosts and large segments from other channels in their regular content.

  • I mean, it's Dave Plummer. He's pretty switched on.If he has tinkered with it, he will know what he has done to it.If they haven't been tinkered with and have been adopted into a botnet, that's a defective product and shit security from Amazon.

    More likely it's doing what Amazon has made it do. So, probably audio recordings and any other sensor data and metrics they can gather

  • U.S. Government Starts Pushing Economic Data Onto Blockchains as 'Proof of Concept'

    跳过

  • Yes. I was laying on the sarcasm heavily.I presume that's what these oracle services provide.Essentially hosts the us governments GDP NFT, so you can right click and download it just like every NFT crypto bro hates you doing.Whether its actually the US Government hosting the file, or these oracle services hosting it... It doesn't matter.

    Why not just host the files on a government website with appropriate file hashes (so users can verify the file is still the same), let the internet archive and the national archives take a snapshots of the files and pages and hashes etc... ? That's a well regarded site archival system, and the governmental archival system. Has redundancy, pedigree and public acceptance.Fuck it, publish just the hash on some block chains so the "fingerprint" of the report is immutable. But call it what it is.

    The report isn't "published on the Blockchain".It is linked from some blockchains.There is still a file hosted by some servers.You can't download your favourite blockchain, take it to the top of Mount Rushmore with no internet and inspect the US GDP figures without first downloading the file linked in the block chain.

    Blockchain oracles are entities that connect blockchains to external systems, allowing smart contracts to execute depending on real-world inputs and outputs. Oracles give the Web 3.0 ecosystem a method to connect to existing legacy systems, data sources and advanced calculations.

  • Yay, decentralised and immutable!

    Data integrity at source: If the BEA’s initial data is wrong (as sometimes happens with revisions), blockchain only makes the error permanent until corrected with new updates

    Oh, so... Like previously just publishing a pdf on a website, then.I guess it means they can't hide revisions. Which is what archive.org (and the us government equivalent that archives government sites) provided when the government just published the pdf.

    At least it's decentralised!

    Over-reliance on oracles: Chainlink and Pyth are powerful, but their centrality creates new concentration risks. If they malfunction or face attacks, critical data feeds could be disrupted.

    Gotcha, still has centralised services.

    Quotes taken from https://www.ccn.com/education/crypto/gdp-on-blockchain-us-government-data-bitcoin-ethereum-other-networks/ which seems to have the best technical info I could find

    Still not much information. I'm presuming an "oracle" is something that gives you a hash of the "immutable" data, so you only have to pay to get that hash recorded on a blockchain instead of however many kB of PDF.

  • If an app can scrape phone info without prompting for extra permissions, you can bet the app dev is scraping that data and storing it alongside session data for security purposes.Web browsers are much more sandboxed. Still plenty of ways to fingerprint tho

  • How to get fully involved into game development?

    跳过

  • I find the best way to learn things I want to learn is with a project.Don't learn game dev to be able to create a game. Learn game dev to craft the story you want to tell.

    If you don't have a story or project that you are passionate enough to see through to a released game, then maybe try and get involved in someone else's project.

    Or, put what you've learned in your back pocket. Maybe you have done enough on that for now, and it's time to try some other area of programming or even learn some completely different skills.Maybe one day you will have a strike of inspiration for a game and you will already have some basic knowledge and ability to see if it will work.
