“#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?

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? 😉

A screen capture from a fictional television documentary featured in the movie "Late Night with the Devil" (2023). It shows an open-reel tape recorder (aka reel-to-reel) with a tape loaded on it. The scene this is taken from shows the playback of the tape. The tape unspools from the left-hand supply reel counter-clockwise normally, but the takeup reel on the right-hand side turns clockwise, with the tape passing to the left of the center axis of the reel. I'm not aware of any decks that actually work this way. There are other oddities too, like no tension arm on the supply side, an apparent tension arm on the takeup side but which is not actually in the tape path, and various other weirdnesses.

A new wave of #AI #enshittification is now targeting #journalists. #Expert voices are needed, #experts should be quoted. And people don't want to quote Twitter so often anymore.
Problem: these experts don't exist. Pure #LLM fantasy. Journalist request services specialise on this lucrative "service".

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!

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.

Protéger l'enfant · Sept Conseils et astuces pour espérer être entendu face aux interlocuteurs socio-judiciaires - Protéger l'enfantLes interlocuteurs socio-judiciaires (juges, experts, éducateurs) cherchent souvent à détecter des conflits, parfois au détriment de la compréhension de la situation réelle (de la violence et non du conflit). Or ils ont hélas un poids considérable sur les décisions de Justice. Les magistrats débordés se réfèrent parfois uniquement à leurs rapports. Voici donc quelques conseils pour gérer ces rendez-vous délicats sans qu’ils se retournent contre le parent protecteur.
