This man is a visionary.

thanks sammie really gets the the core of what im angry about 80% of the time im having computer troubles. everything thats wrong with my shit is filtered through 70 layers of "hmm could an 80 y/o dude with dementia be able to comprehend this error message?" that anyone with even a vague idea of what theyre doing has no fucking clue what to do to troubleshoot anything. its all just "your shit is fucked (10100100)" and when you google it the official support documentation for the error code is "this error code is for when the program has no fucking clue what went wrong". which WOULD be fine if the fucking developers put in more than like 5 error codes and just routed all the more complex errors into the catchall of "idk lol" so you never have any fucking clue what happened and when you actually go in to parse the error log its JUST A FUCKING SCRIPT THAT PRINTS OUT "IDK LOL" INSTEAD OF HAVING ANY USEFUL INFORMATION SO EVEN IF YOU GO TO SUPPORT WITH IT THEY WOULD STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE TROUBLESHOOTING PROCESS WITH YOU AND THE ERROR CODE WOULDNT DO ANYTHING AT ALL, ITS JUST FOR THE OTHER 4 ERROR CODES MADE FOR REALLY EASILY SOLVED ISSUES SO SUPPORT CAN JUST PATCH YOUR SHIT INSTEAD OF DOING THEIR JOB AND SUPPORTING YOU 101:YOUR COMPUTER ISNT PLUGGED IN 102:YOUR INTERNET ISNT PLUGGED IN 103:YOUR SHIT IS FUCKED, RESTART IT 104:YOUR INTERNET IS FUCKED, RESTART IT 105: IDK LOL A DEAD RAT COULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS WITHOUT ANY SORT OF OUTSIDE INPUT, WHY ARE THERE EVEN ERROR CODES WHEN THEYRE ALL JUST THE FIRST STEPS TO TROUBLESHOOTING ANYWAY but yeah this is a good video to send to people who dont know whats going on so they can continue to not know whats going on and its worthless to send it to anyone who hasnt already seen it :)

They will call us "Conspiracy theorist"

so they are actually killing the general purpose computer, but using AI, that will control everything you can and can't do on your device

Took a nap just after this video and had nice Atari dream - have these from time to time ever since childhood. In this one I opened the console - not to repair it but see what is inside and it had lots and lots of chips - definitely inspired more by famiclones than atari and it was supposed to be atari clone and not nes. What was most strange about this dream was cartridge port which was made from only PCB's and I was wondering how they indented this to work after user plugged in and removed multiple carts... but then I wondered how it worked at all.. but it did... indeed strange - wonder if such design could possibly work - port made from PCB with tinned pads where you plugged cart and connection was made from springiness of PCB alone. Then I woke up and I am pondering: "if that was doable wouldn't we see chinese to already make famiclones like that instead of putting expensive cartringe ports?" I wonder if they tried and made it work but it didn't work for too long or wasn't very stable. Anyways, imho this console should be called Atari 128 as the most accurate name. Funnily enough my first Atari was a clone system and it was called something like Atari 128 in 1. These times I managed to get my hand of Atari 2600 Jr. -alike clone with exact games as that original "RAMBO" system and even the same graphical glitches in one game - river raid-clone with "BERMUDA" game. Brother got fat Atari which looks identical to our first Rambo but with correct rendition of that one game Both support Atari 2600 carts.

Whenever someone wants a deployment pipeline for closed-source (anti-detection, evasion, anti-analysis) and proprietary (uses a product server to download the payload .. erm i mean "product"), im just like... Yeah ok ive done malware dev ops before. You want your logo or mine embedded in it?

Whoever that woman was who asked about general von neumann machines.... she was right. we are starting to see purpose-made asics all over the place for crypto mining and later for ai transformers... also the copilot-ai pcs are really not okay

I agree with the premise. Thanks.

6:25 not capabilities issues? Just lost my coffee! 2012 may have been before many of the Java deserialisation issues that plagued the decade, but 8 of the OWASP top 10 that year are capabilities issues, that is, they go away or become obvious the moment you phrase them in ocap terms. Not that parsing isn't a deeply interesting field, but it seems a stretch to speak of it as the most foundational security discipline.

I wish we stood a chance.

The voice of the first asker if beyond reason omg.

Calling everything a war kind of makes rhe word useless

Problems of capitalism

it's wild how racist this guy is when his country and its allies are the worst offender in everything he's talking about

History of Game Console DRM follows

Real king moment to shit on the drug war in 2011, in Germany no less. The parallels between attempting to defeat "bad" use of software and attempting to defeat "bad" drug use are many.

Wow, that's really cool, thanks for keeping ftp server alive

5:43 Actually, it was never recommended to turn the disk... not for SSDD (single side/double density) diskettes that were used with the 1541 disk drive. I had a notcher that allowed a floppy to be converted to a "flippy," but there was the caveat that not all manufacturers used the same standards as far as the ferrite coating on both sides... and there was also the possibility that write operations to one side could affect the integrity of data stored on the opposite side, depending on the magnetic flux permeability of the disk. It usually wasn't a problem, not in the short term at least... but you basically assumed all the risk of potential data loss if you notched your own diskettes and wrote to both sides.

I really like his shirt and the background color. Thanks.

OKAY GOOGLE

Ok GOOGLE! Ok Google OK GOOGLE!!!

There were plenty of Cassandras decades ago. Cory Doctorow, RMS, this guy, Bruce Schneier, jwz to name a few. Still, we sleep walked into this nightmare. Smart people knew the name of the game 20+ years ago. I have a super advanced computer. It's a marvel of miniaturization, and it has lots of interesting HW like sensors, a radio modem, several cameras and a touch screen. I love it, but the problem is: I can't for the life of me run my own code on the damned thing. Google and Samsung won't let me. There is no recourse for me to opt out of their "concern" for my own "security". Short of rooting the thing, which has a non-zero chance of bricking it. I'm talking, of course, of my "smart" phone. How TF did we get here? And now, in 2024, Big Tech is pushing so hard to transform laptops and desktop computers into glorified "smart" phones. My desktop computer is nearly 10 years old so I can actually run Linux, as well as my own code, thank you very much, on it. If I bought a new computer today, with Windows 11 on it, would the same thing be true in 2034? I really doubt it. Corporate greed, regulatory capture, the insane culture of VC (slag SIlicon Valley!), late stage capitalism, lobbying, law makers sleeping on the job... In the end it's us. We failed us, and the sociopaths are now fully in control of general computing.

This is a fantastic talk. ( I heard it when it came out and couldn't find it again until recently.)

I can't quite see the problem with length fields. Suppose the sender wants to send 42 and 69 bytes of arbitrary data: Using delimiters they have to escape any bytes that look like delimiters; and any that look like escapes..? or use something like Rust's r## technique. <delimiter open><42 bytes><delimiter close><delimiter open><69 bytes><delimiter close> Using length fields the first byte is how many length fields, then the length fields, which describe the data fields that follow in order. <2><42><69><42 bytes><69 bytes> What's the problem? Or are they talking about streams which can't have prior knowledge of their field lengths?

@33:17 well now that drugs seems to have won the war on drugs. . . maybe there is hope after all

ale się namlaskał

No elo

At what time is "black hole" mentioned ?

Even crazier when you realize edward snowden came out a year later and proved that the government was further ahead in their tyranny then anyone realized… Encryption iis the only hope left for freedom

1:47:00 Schlimmer noch: Die Ermittler könnten ganz easy vermeintliche Beweise auf dem Rechner platzieren, indem Sie einen Download vom angegriffenen Rechner aus initiieren.

man what a good talk and only more relevant by the year.

Yes, THANK YOU! Because even up here at the end of 2023 Land I believe this video from just over a decade before is still pretty current! But look at how many really great C64 demos have been made since 2012 there! I wonder even what other hair-raising techniques have been discovered and developed in this decade!

Interesting that a lot of this is discovering how to use chip flaws to your advantage, which is why those are things that even Commodore or MOS didn't know were possible back then! I thought everything that was programmable was there by design, but... nope! Very cool!

Is it also likely that some of these C64 demos weren't thought of how to make in the '80s, or weren't even possible then, also because in the cross-dev. work, you might also be using some routines found in modern GPUs and then translating those into simplified versions for the C64, you couldn't have figured out how to make on your own for the 64; you had to completely adopt from the PC or Mac GPU and then translate/port to C64 (while slimming them down too, of course)?

Hmm, I wonder how many videos of discussions like this were done by groups like you in the last decade+, but anyway, I hope it was decided that several chairs that could've been right in front of and by the cameras would be left out of place, just so we wouldn't have doofs standing around in front of them!

Wow, hard to imagine that picture of the lady you're talking about as being hand-drawn! When you mentioned cross-dev. I was thinking that part of that was for using an existing photo and just reducing its color depth and clearing out the unwanted background and things, then reducing the color depth and translating it from Windows/Mac/Linux to C64. But NO, oh my gosh! Do you guys do _some_ of the somewhat photo-quality pieces that way, though?

"I'm a coder for a reason." Well yeah, but everything happens and exists for a reason, even if it's accidental or otherwise not noteworthy. What would be noteworthy is being that for a _purpose._

Did you say "graphician:" a portmanteau of "graphics" and "technician"?

How can you know how to optimize something without knowing quite what it does?

WOW, I had never heard of farming out some computations from a Commodore 64 to a 1541 or others until now! How would it hold up with a 71 or 81 as the only drive, or some other one like a 1001, 4040, 8250, or 9090 (HDD) hooked up through the user port with an interface? And when you mention mechanics are you saying that it uses the floppy's stepper motor or the hard's stepper or voice coil in the process? Which sort of "mechanics" are you talking about, and why? And by a hard disk, would even a CMD or Lieutenant Kernal work?

Optical microphones were not originally developed as a spy tool. They were developed for use in scientific and aerospace applications where an ordinary microphone wouldn't work, such as in extreme heat or in areas of extreme radiation or electromagnetic interference. DLR developed one for listening to the bearings in turbomachinery in rocket engines while in operation.

"Do you want to explain git to someone who just learned makefiles" PMSL 🤣🤣

Atari used PDP-11's running RT-11, attached to ADM-3A terminals. The ADM-3A terminal also had a printer port, which was used to send binaries to the adjacent development system, where some stations had an HP 1611A logic analyzer for debugging those "really hard" problems.

I listen to this whenever I do the dishes so I can memorize it

36:45 When your memory controller is more capable than the CPU.... lol

Had me until he implied lawmakers aren't evil. I guess fire's cold, water's dry and grass is pink too.

This is speech is even more important now than it was 11 years ago, now that the evil Google empire is trying to shove its "Web Environment Integrity" initiative down our throats 😲 It's even somewhat ironic that I write this comment on a Google owned platform... Google is way too powerful, and the FTC and EU and other anti-trust authorities worldwide should seriously do something about it!

43:07 - is where the juicy part begins (for me)

Given the context of Intel ME and Microsoft Pluton, this is actually quite chilling. A very prophetic speech, and in the worst possible way unfortunately.

A very narrow and selective view of economics used to fit his narrative.
