Semafor Keeps Hosting Ridiculous “Restoring Trust In Media” Events That Only Further Undermine Trust In Media


You might recall that when political news website Semafor entered the media industry on the back of $25 million in private money, they made all kinds of promises about how they were somehow going to revolutionize U.S. media. In reality most of their promises were relatively inane, and it didn’t take long before the outlet […]

I have updated my report at Law Dork on DOJ dropping the law firm EO appeals.

If you've read about DOJ dropping those cases, but the story said nothing about DOJ's appeal of Mark Zaid's case against his security clearance revocation, you don't have the whole story.

Anyway my heart is in chaos, and it's still a minute by minute situation, but if they can stabilize it enough and long enough, I will have surgery, a pacemaker, and a whole new palette of medications by the end if the week.

If not, it's been an hell of ride.

I am having trouble getting Linux (Linux Mint Debian Edition) to boot after installing on a Dell Optiplex 5040 and 3040 models with UEFI booting.

I am pretty sure it would work fine in Legacy mode.

Since UEFI is newer, I am guessing that is the recommendation... but will Linux work fine on Legacy boot with current kernels in the current year? Any reasons or features that I really should have with UEFI? Or is Legacy boot going to be fine?

I don’t know about those machines in particular, but I do know from experience that older machines didn’t have very good secure boot implementations. Have you tried updating the bios on the machines?
in reply to RockyC

Thanks. BIOS was updated to the most recent version.

Using Legacy Boot ended up working well for me. I was not able to get UEFI booting working on this Dell Optiplex 5040 with the boot drive in the m.2 slot on the motherboard.

So I just used Legacy Boot and that solved my problem.

Rembrandt painting worth millions rediscovered after 65 years.

A long lost painting by #Rembrandt has been rediscovered and authenticated by experts, after its whereabouts were unknown for decades.

Rembrandt's Vision of Zacharias in the Temple, from 1633, was excluded from a list of the Dutch master's works in 1960, and disappeared after being sold to a private collector the following year.

NASA Uses Mars Global Localization as GNSS Replacement for the Perseverance Rover


Unlike on Earth there aren’t dozens of satellites whizzing around Mars to provide satellite navigation functionality. Recently NASA’s JPL engineers tried something with the Perseverance Mars rover that can give such Marsbound vehicles the equivalent of launching GPS satellites into Mars orbit, by introducing Mars Global Localization.

Although its remote operators back on Earth have the means to tell the rover where it is, it’d be incredibly helpful if it could determine this autonomously so that the rover doesn’t have to constantly stop and ask its human operators for directions. To this end the processor which was originally used to communicate with its Ingenuity helicopter companion was repurposed, reprogrammed to run an algorithm that compares panoramic images from the rover’s navigation cameras with its onboard orbital terrain maps.

Much like terrain-based navigation as used in cruise missiles back on Earth, this can provide excellent results depending on how accurate your terrain maps are. This terrain mapping process used to be done back on Earth, but for the past years engineers have worked to give the rover its own means to perform this task.

Ingenuity: left behind but not forgotten. (Credit: NASA, JPL)Ingenuity: left behind but not forgotten. (Credit: NASA, JPL)
Because the off-the-shelf processor in the rover’s Helicopter Base Station (HBS) is much faster than the custom, radiation-hardened processors that control the rover, the decision was made to try the algorithm on the HBS, especially since Ingenuity was left behind after it fatally damaged its propeller during a rough landing. This left the HBS unused and free to be repurposed.

Repurposing such OTS hardware also provided a good way to check for radiation damage to such standard hardware that was never certified for high radiation environments. To validate reliability the algorithm was run multiple times on the HBS, with the results compared by the main computer. This found some discrepancies, attributed to damage to about 25 bits out of 1 GB of RAM.

By isolating these damaged bits, the algorithm could run reliably, while giving another nod to the genius of the Ingenuity program that enabled such new features with what was at the time an unproven and relatively low-budget side-project tacked onto the Perseverance rover.

Thanks to [Nevyn] for the tip.

@kimlockhartga As I mentioned, I never ran across anything like this in my 21 1/2 years and that’s not to say it didn’t exist privately with some of these people but I’ve been out for almost 15 years and obviously, things can change. If assholes like the FOTUS can give the blatant racism and bigotry that was always there but kinda out of the mainstream its door to get out there, I could see this happening as well.

I am dying to ask my cousin's son, an Army Lt. Colonel* why he goes along with this. I fear he may have drunk the kool-aid, or at least had a few sips. The things people will put up with just to further their career. Also, intelligence apparently doesn't protect one from cultism. We used to have miltary discipline and professionalism, a commitment to being apolitical, and not to sabotage cohesion with religious fervor.

*at least, that's what his mom said. The last time I checked, he was a major. I guess he could have moved up that quickly. I don't always understand how it all works.

in reply to Kim Possible

@kimlockhartga Or they're just saying that. With this regime, it's hard to tell. I won't claim to know what the regime's own real motives are. But we know that front-line troops are being told it's a holy war.
