Day 18 cont 🗣️🥷🤡

#DanielJones, who has served as a bodyguard to #FarRight figure #AviYemini, said on #SocialMedia on Wednesday that he had walked unchallenged into the hotel lobby before he confronted #Albanese and asked him questions about #immigration.

Jones, a self-proclaimed self-defence #expert, has previously posted online that people should “train to make it easy to be able to #kill”.”

Show me people who #ASIO and #ASIS take an interest in?

When the DG of the Intelligence services talks about foreign influence, this is what it looks like. What foreign country paid our proclaimed SME for this kind of political action?

#Thailand may now be in 'technical #recession'
"Thailand’s #economy may have slipped into a #technicalrecession with gross domestic product estimated to have #contracted in two consecutive quarters, according to Pongnakorn Pochakorn, a macroeconomics #expert at the #Fiscal #Policy Office.. The FPO had, as of Jan 30, projected 3% growth for the Thai economy this year, citing r major positive factors, namely #public #consumption, #exports, #tourism & #investments, he said"

Bangkok Post · Thailand may now be in 'technical recession'By Post Reporters

We watched "Late Night with the Devil" (2023) tonight. I posted a #5SecondMovieReview of it earlier. We enjoyed it.

However... one little thing about it is nagging at me, like a splinter in the mind's eye.

It's a period piece, set in the #1970s. The major thread of the story includes a psychologist and her sessions with a patient, which are #recorded. Part of one is played back as part of a #television show, and onscreen during that #playback is an open-reel (aka reel-to-reel) #tape #deck playing a tape.

1970s, open-reel recording - it's #retro, it's #cool, it's period-authentic, right?

I can't shake the feeling that whoever put the visual together has never actually seen an open-reel tape recorder in operation. This picture is lousy, because it's a screencap from the movie, which is supposed to be showing a television broadcast in good old analog SD - but it gets the point across.

See anything wrong?

The takeup #reel, on the right, turns clockwise, the opposite direction of the (normal) direction of the supply reel. So the tape wraps onto the inner side of the takeup reel, and ends up "inside out".

There's also no tension arm on the supply side, and an apparent #tension arm on the takeup side, but it's not actually in the tape path.

I don't think any machines were actually made like this, but I'm not an #expert. Can anyone identify the deck they butchered or digi-simmed to create this #sin against nature? 😉

Long hours, high stress?

GumroadCyber Health: A Guide to Preventing Occupational Diseases in Cybersecurity ProfessionalsAs cybersecurity professionals, we find ourselves at the vanguard of defending critical systems and data. Our work is exacting, necessitating constant vigilance and adaptation to an ever-evolving digital landscape. However, the nature of our occupation also renders us a vulnerable group, susceptible to a range of health issues—both physical and mental —that can impede our career progression and, in some cases, result in its complete cessation.The extended periods spent in front of screens, the stress of managing high-pressure situations, and the constant mental focus required for the job take a considerable toll on our bodies and minds. Physical problems like eye strain, back pain, and repetitive stress injuries are common, but the mental challenges are often more insidious. Chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, and sleep deprivation have been demonstrated to have a detrimental effect on cognitive abilities, decision-making skills, and the ability to continue in a chosen profession.This guide has been developed with the participation of medical representatives and uses the most up-to-date evidence-based medicine articles, treatment protocols, and medical recommendations. The guide aims to shed light on the diseases that we, as cybersecurity specialists, are particularly prone to. The text will demonstrate how such health issues impact not only our daily well-being but also our career trajectories, and will share preventive measures to help us safeguard our health so we can continue to thrive in this vital field for years to come.Thank you for choosing Air Academy!

#Russia, #Expert urges wearing #masks due to possible emergence of new virus, regnum.ru/news/3956571

"First, be sure to arm yourself with a mask. It's even becoming fashionable now. Second, try not to go outside unless there is an urgent need. Third, try to avoid large #crowds of people, because the virus is transmitted from person to person in the most effective way - by #airborne droplets," the source told the publication.

OK #DX12 #expert #shaders #howto solve this .. you have an HLSL shader where you declare let's say FOR EXAMPLE

cbuffer Constants : register(b0)
{
float4 Banana;
float4x4 World;
float4 Pappine;
}

But then MAYBE later on you have an #ifdef /something that makes the shader NOT use "Banana" .. now the optimizator "would remove Banana from the cbuffer block" so now you'll have 16 bytes less in the structure but "how do you know when you load the shader" that is happened ? You see the shit.

🚀 Oh goody, another #AI #expert in #PostgreSQL because clearly, that's what the world was lacking. 🤖 Just what we needed—more #robots to tell us how to #query a database we mastered in 2004. 🥳 #GitHub, if I wanted an AI to write bad #SQL, I'd just do it myself!
