  • Questions for DPRK diplomat

    Jump
    1. how do people inside the DPRK regard the recent turmoil in south korea?
    2. how relevant do people inside the DPRK see the conflicts in the middle east, ukraine to their own national security? And do they feel that their affinity with russia/china/iran has increased or decreased in the last 10 years?
    3. In the last trump presidency, there was a meeting which appeared to be PR. How did people inside the DPRK regard the last trump presidency, and how do they feel about the incoming one?
    4. How has the relations of DPRK with Cuba changed since the new south korean embassy?

  • for bergson, comedy comes from the overlap of the material and the human. bateman is a robotic character, embodying this duality in himself, and exists in a highly satirical environment.

    I made several mistakes trying to flash my Thinkpad T440p with Skulls. Any way to tell if the chip is dead?

    Jump

  • you could try turning the laptop on.

    as for flashing, make sure that you have the pins correctly connected on the pi side. if you're using some color code you found online, it may not apply to your clip - consult the chart and follow the wires manually. the pins on the chip are numbered counterclockwise starting at the dot. You can also try reseating the clip a few times, some clips can be finnicky.

  • firstly understand the context which is smooth manifolds, for simplicity imagine a 2d manifold embedded in 3d space - so a sheet of rubber that can pass through itself but can't kink or do any funny business, just like in that sphere inversion video.

    the definition of a manifold is basically that it can be built out of patches (sheets of rubber in our analogy), for instance to make a sphere, we need two sheets of rubber (ignore the actual logistics of the deformation required).

    Now say that our sheets of rubber come with a textured and a smooth side, there are two ways to attach the sheets of rubber to make a sphere, one of which produces a sphere which is entirely smooth on the outside. This is what we mean by orientable, we can build it out of patches with a consistent "outside".

    Consider the counterexample of a mobius strip, which we construct from a single strip of rubber by attaching one end to the other "backwards" (rough-smooth). Since we have defined it this way, it cannot be orientable. The klein bottle is another example, but somewhat cooler than the mobius strip since its a surface without edges.

    There are many other definitions of orientable depending on the context, since manifolds are a lot more general than I have shown you here.

    I don't know what orientable manifolds have to do with being responsible.

  • two hackers encounter a relic of an ancient past

  • techno utopianism, the synthesis of defence lab hacker culture and the new left has inherited the flaws of both. the disillusion of the children raised on this heady mix was inevitable. nostalgia beckons, the punch card and mainframe once a symbol of dehumanization is now a quaint museum piece, sublime objects of engineering prowess. i could spend my whole life exploring the intricacies of these old systems. the dream of connecting people through computers is perverted into the goal of connecting to computers. "ah, but it could have been different, if only my preferred programming language or paradigm had won out!" so we tell ourselves, nursing our pet projects. ahhh i'm feeling depressed now
