The algorithms that are fed the output of the population?

What is this even supposed to mean?

It is considerably easier to manipulate someone if you have a lot of data about them, yes.


As others here have already mentioned, it doesn't work all that well either, proving that AI can't replace humans completely.

No human-written application code exists in this repository.

It's 100% hallucinated.


Exactly. Everyone has been given a voice thanks to the Internet, and they call that "risks for democracy".

If the government added an 'abolish all future elections?' item to every ballot, it would be more democratic, and also a risk to democracy.

Everyone has a voice now, but the hysterical, shouting voices drown out the calm ones.


Windows never had a global name space for dynamic symbol resolution.

IMHO one of the best design decisions they made; the Unix dynamic linking model seems absolutely like an absurd workaround in comparison.

Also, no mention of FixDS? https://www.geary.com/fixds.html


Not all UNIXes, Aix dynamic link model is XCOFF and quite similar to Windows.

> the Unix dynamic linking model

What? It's just like static linking! Only, you know, we do it at load time. At least the filenames of the shared objects to load are included into the executable — we could instead just load and search the whole of /usr/lib in unspecified order, you know!


"mis-informed" meaning "not sanctioned by the Ministry of Truth"

There is truth

...and it's what people have seen in real life with their own eyes, not what the government wants them to see. The Internet has made the former far more accessible to the population.

Not everything that is true and important can be directly observed and understood by everyone. Expertise is impotent.

> Expertise is impotent.

Couldn’t have said it better myself


Speaking of eyes, I can hardly believe mine when I see HN downvote posts like this. We all trust the government now, or something? Absolutely wild.

This is a common arrangement. The replaceable batteries in phones also usually have 3 or 4 terminals for a thermistor.

I suspect many of those who have 3D printers may also have enough scraps of plastic lying around to be able to make something like this from; a few sheets cut and solvent-welded together would likely be stronger.


The 604 isn't really a "computer", but more like an ALU hardwired to some I/O.

They were all programmed with plugboards.

Arguably, that is the ROM.


Arguably more like soft wired CPU logic, since the contents of the plugboards were not uniformly addressable words.

This isn't just any regular copper cable:
