This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. What is it? Flowers for Algernon is a short science fiction story. Originally that. It was later developed as a novel. How did I come unto it? I know I have heard the title years before. So, when I saw it recently at the entrance on the bookstore, in a beautiful hardcover, I gave it a view. I did not decided to buy, but it stayed with me, specially for having few pages. I knew nothing of the plot, I only recognized the title, vaguely, as something I heard before as a praised work — and Isaac Asimov, who handed Keyes the Hugo Award for this short story, in 1960, as Best Novelette of 1959, "praised it lavishly" (source: Arthur Bruce Evans, of DePauw University. Daniel Keyes's Works ). I then, weeks or months later, searched about.and discovered it was originally a short story. And available online. In the moment of the interest aroused (soon before producing this.HPR episode), I was more than happy with the immediate possibility of reading, instead of having to wait to buy the book or letting it stay until the next visit to the Public Library of Paraná (that is, of my state in Brazil), that might have a copy. The first lines won me, so I kept reading, in two "seats", two moments, on the phone. It is 26 pages long. Now, to the story. The plot (Here starts a full revelation of the plot, if you want to stop listening.) (No personal written notes here, comment made directly to audio — so, more stuttered as I tried to find the ideas and words; thanks for the patience!) Curiosity: The Simpsons "As well as cinematic and stage adaptations, the book inspired a musical, starring Michael Crawford, and an episode of The Simpsons. In the episode, called Homr, Homer Simpson discovers that a crayon lodged in his brain has been responsible for his stupidity. On its removal, Homer becomes clever, only to have the crayon re-inserted after becoming distanced from family and friends. Aired in 2001, the episode won an Emmy for outstanding animated programme." (Source: BBC. Flowers for Algernon writer Daniel Keyes dies at 86 . June 18, 2014.) Ending... the author The author, Daniel Keyes, died on June 15, 2014, aged 86, from complications of pneumonia, at his home in Boca Raton (Florida, USA). His only wife, Aurea Georgina Vazquez, whom he married in 1952, had died one year, one month and one day before, on May 14, 2013.They had two daughters.

Quick-Glance Summary I walk you through an MIT experiment where 54 EEG-capped volunteers wrote essays three ways: pure brainpower, classic search, and ChatGPT assistance. Brain-only writers lit up the most neurons and produced the freshest prose; the ChatGPT crowd churned out near-identical essays, remembered little, and racked up what the researchers dub cognitive debt : the interest you pay later for outsourcing thought today. A bonus “switch” round yanked AI away from the LLM devotees (cue face-plant) and finally let the brain-first team play with the toy (they coped fine), proving skills first, tools second. I spiced the tale with calculator nostalgia, a Belgian med-exam cheating fiasco, and Professor Felienne's forklift-in-the-gym metaphor to land one mantra: *scaffolds beat shortcuts*. We peeked at tech “enshittification” once investors demand returns, whispered “open-source” as the escape hatch, and I dared you to try a two-day test—outline solo, draft with AI, revise solo, then check what you still remember. Net takeaway: keep AI on a leash; let thinking drive, tools navigate . If you think I'm full of digital hot air, record your own rebuttal and prove it. Resources MIT study MIT Media Lab. (2025).

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, again. This is Trey. Several months ago, I heard Paul Asadoorian mention the Cheap Yellow Display on his podcast, Paul's Security Weekly ( https://www.scworld.com/podcast-show/pauls-security-weekly ). I didn't think much of it at the time, but then I heard it referenced again, and again. Then, finally, it was described, and I became interested. "Cheap Yellow Display" is the term used for the ESP32-2432S028R. Since this is somewhat challenging to say, and to remember, and since the board is yellow, and it can be obtained for as little as $12 USD, it has been given the nickname "Cheap Yellow Display". I will abbreviate this as CYD for the remainder of this episode. It is an ESP32 (with built in WiFi & Bluetooth) on a development board with one or more USB connectors, a MicroSD slot, a limited selection of GPIO pins, an RGB LED, a speaker, a light sensor, and best of all, a 2.8-inch (71mm) TFT touchscreen LCD display. The CYD runs on 5 volts DC. I am including some photographs of the CYD in the show notes. RandomNerdTutorials has produced a very good writeup about this board on their website ( https://randomnerdtutorials.com/cheap-yellow-display-esp32-2432s028r/ ). Brian Lough (AKA WitnessMeNow) has been building a community for the CYD on his GitHub site ( https://github.com/witnessmenow/ESP32-Cheap-Yellow-Display ) where he has instructions, examples, tutorials, downloadable tools, and much more. Beginning back in the 1970s, my father and I built electronics projects together. And I have had a love for doing so ever since. Over the last few years, I have built several Arduino based gadgets on different platforms, including a couple which run on breadboards sitting beside me on my desk (I will share more about one of those later). A common use for the CYD among hackers is to leverage the built in WiFi & Bluetooth radios to compromise wireless networks or devices. The Marauder project is a prebuilt image which can be loaded directly to the CYD to use it as a wireless hacking tool. Fr4nkFletcher's Github repository ( https://github.com/Fr4nkFletcher/ESP32-Marauder-Cheap-Yellow-Display ) is one place where you can download the Marauder tool. There are also video games, clocks, photo slideshows, and more, which have already been coded for you, and are available on the internet for download. What would you do with a CYD? What could you build? What problem might you solve? What fun project might you come up with? For myself, the CYD intrigued me, but it did not yet jump out at me as something I had a need for. Yet. What would change my mind? What would set me on a quest to obtain some of these devices and learn to develop code for them? What problem did I wish to solve? Tune in again, in a couple weeks, to learn the answers some of these questions and more in my next episode in this HPR series. Provide feedback on this episode.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello from Antoine. A show without a script, with 3 bullet points: 1. It's better to have had 1 million dollars, and spend it all in a bed investment, rather than having had 5 dollars and lose 10 dollars. In one case, you are not in debt, you can start on zero with a clean mind (the past is only past). In another case, there is a debt, you wasted what you even did not have at first. That's a problem. Losses happen all the time, in sports for example, and people in general understand. Albeit, when it has to do with family problems, or financial lack of success, there is all kind of malicious judgement for the bad choices of the other one. 2. A good work is a work where one does what he has to do, in the time he sold to the work. It's not a matter of being on the desk more time than your colleagues, it's a matter of giving your work capacity for the time agreed in exchange of the payment agreed upon. In one word, honesty. Even if not as a moral value you agree with in a specific case, the obedience is the result of having your mind in the same way your body is going, and that is enjoyment. 3. Your attitudes show if you have a purpose in what you're doing, or you're taking it with the belly (doing it in a non-vigorous way, without enthusiasm). If you have a purpose, you are enjoying, because it has a purpose. You, after all! (Not because of big loads of material things, but, simply, purpose. Relations and purpose.)

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, this is your host, Archer72 for another episode of Hacker Public Radio. In this episode, I continue to fall for the AI trap. Here I was, minding my own business, when I was bothered by the icon only showing a generic icon for the Beeper app. Now, I'm not saying that Duck.ai is not useful, but be very careful what you ask for. It was probably a combination of the early morning, and not reading completely through the AI suggestions, but I ended up losing all icons on the Gnome desktop except for a few like Firefox. I won't leave the problematic command so I don't trip up the listener, but it involved updating a desktop database. This in turn left a dash or blank where the icons should be. If that wasn't bad enough, it was suggested to reset Gnome settings, and nothing was as it seemed before. Things that I had taken for granted were not there. You forget what custom settings are there when mistakes like this are made. So the short answer is that the icons directory, located on my Debian system should be located in .local/share/icons. Instead it was in a sub-directory .local/share/icons/icons Correcting the directory location solved everything, but I was still left to reset my custom Gnome keybindings. • Swap Escape and Caps lock key I used this because I am a Vim user, and this feels more natural when I need to hit Escape to change modes. In Gnome, the setting is under Gnome Tweaks > Keyboard > Additional Layout Options > Swap Esc and Caps Lock Key As of this show release the current stable version is Trixie. Gnome Tweaks - Debian Trixie can be installed by sudo apt install gnome-tweaks on any Debian based system. • Compose key • Compose key shortcuts The Compose key is found at Settings > Keyboard > Compose Key. I selected the Menu key, because this is rarely used, and can still be accessed by the track pad. • Shortcut to open MPV with a clipboard URL from Youtube This can be found in Setting > Keyboard > View and Customize Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts Shift+Ctrl+P Code placed in /usr/local/bin/ #!/bin/bash ## mpv-url url=`xsel -o -b` echo $url mpv $url Now I can get back to what I started in the first place, creating a .desktop file for Beeper. I created a beeper-desktop.desktop file in `~/.local/share/applications' with the follow contents.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Playing Civilization V, Part 3 Victory Types This is a good time to discuss the Victory types in Civ 5. We have talked about choosing appropriate strategies and that mostly has to do with what kind of Victory you are aiming for. Now you can change the objective as the game goes on, so if you realize you can't win your original Victory type, you can switch to another. But success is a lot easier if you make the right choices early on. Domination – To win this, you must keep possession of your own original capital, and capture everyone else's original capital. Original capital is the first city founded by each Empire. It can never be destroyed, but can be captured. Once the original capital city of an Empire is captured, another city will become the current capital, but capturing that does not count towards victory, and a current capital can be destroyed. Science – To win this, build and launch a spaceship to Alpha Centauri. To build a spaceship requires technologies at the end of the Technology tree, but you don't have to actually research every possible technology to do this. You build the parts in your various cities, and assemble them in your Capital. Once you have assembled all the parts, the spaceship will automatically launch and you win the game. Cultural – This depends on your culture compared to the other Empires, and involves the Tourism mechanic. If you attract tourists from another Empire, your culture will become more dominant over theirs. There are 6 levels for your Empire vis-a-vis the others: Unknown, Exotic, Familiar, Popular, Influential, and Dominant. These are defined by the amount of tourism you receive from an Empire compared with their own production of Culture. If the tourism you receive is at least equal to their own Culture production, you are Influential. And to get Culture victory you have to be at least Influential with every other Empire still in the game. The basic source of tourism comes from Great Works of Art, and Artifacts. Great Works of Art are produced by Great Artists, and Artifacts are dug up by your Archeologists once you discover this. Your own Culture production both defends against tourism of other Empires (i.e. your own citizens would rather enjoy your culture than travel to other Empires), and helps to produce the Great Works of Art. This victory type and the Tourism Mechanic is one of the innovations in Civ 5 , and carries over and is developed further in Civ 6. Diplomatic – To win this, you have to voted in as World Leader in the United Nations. You can gain votes in several ways. First, you can liberate the conquered capital of another Empire and return it to them. That will guarantee that they will vote for you in the United Nations. Or, and this is most common, you can ally with City-States and get their vote in the UN. Finally, if a City-State has been previously conquered by another Empire, you can liberate it and they will vote for you in the UN. Once the UN is achieved, votes take place every 20 turns, so if you fall short on one try, you can try to line up more votes for the next try, which usually means allying with a few more City-States. Time – If no one has won by the above means, the Empire with the highest score when time runs out will win. In a Standard game, that is in 2050 AD, and is turn 500. But note that turn 500 is not a turn when you can make a play. Your last chance to actually do anything is turn 499. Terrain Civilization V changed the game board from squares to hexes, which was the first big change. But another change makes terrain even more important in Civ V, and that is that you can only have one unit per tile. The giant death stacks of units that you could employ in Civ III and Civ IV are now gone. That means that any military campaign will mostly be fought on a variety of tiles. Most of this we will discuss later when we look at the military and how to fight wars, but knowing how terrain affects your units in terms of strength and mobility will be a big part of that. So first we need to know what the Terrain Types are. Of course, the other reason we need to know this is in terms of where to settle, where to farm, where to mine, and so on. And special resources are a modifier, but first we'll look at the Terrain Types by themselves. They can be analyzed in terms of their Base Production, i.e., what they will produce without any improvements such as farms and mines, Movement Cost, i.e. how many movement points it takes to move into the Tile, and Defensive Bonus, i.e. how the strength of your units is modified if they are in combat. Grassland – Base Production = 2 Food, Movement Cost = 1, and Defensive Bonus = -33% Plains – Base Production = 1 Food and 1 Production, Movement Cost = 1, and Defensive Bonus = -33% Desert – Base Production = Nothing, Movement Cost = 1, and Defensive Bonus = -33% Ocean – Base Production = 1 Food and 1 Gold, Movement Cost = 1 Lake – Base Production = 2 Food and 1 Gold , Movement Cost = 1 Tundra – Base Production = 1 Food, Movement Cost = 1 Snow – Base Production = None, Movement Cost = 1, and Defensive Bonus = -33% These basic Terrain Types can then be modified by Terrain Features, which can be stacked. For example, you could have a Plains tile with Hills and a Forest. Hills – Base Production = 0 Food and 2 Production, Movement Cost = 2, and Defensive Bonus = +25%. Note that the Base Production for Hills will be 0 Food and 2 Production regardless of the underlying Terrain Type. Forest – Base Production = 1 Food and 1 Production, Movement Cost = 2, and Defensive Bonus = +25%. Note that the Base Production for tiles with Forests will be 1 Food and 1 Production regardless of the underlying Terrain Type. But Forests can be cleared by Workers once Mining is discovered. Jungle – Production effect = -1 Production, Movement Cost = 2, and Defensive Bonus = +25%. Jungles can be cleared by Workers once Bronze Working is discovered, and should be. Mountain – Production = 0, Movement = impassable except for Air units, and for Carthaginian units once they have earned a Great General. Defensive Bonus = +25% River – Rivers run along the borders of tiles. They add +1 Gold. Attacking across a river reduces your attack strength by 20%. Crossing a river will end movement for most units unless there is a road with a bridge. Marsh – Production effect = -1 Food, Movement Cost = 2. Can be removed by workers once Masonry is discovered. If you have a Marsh tile in your city, have the workers remove the Marsh before you attempt to work the tile. Coast – These are the water tiles with relatively shallow water along the coast of a land mass. They are lighter in color than deep ocean tiles. Coast tiles can be traveled on by early water units which cannot travel on the deeper ocean tiles. Coast tiles produce one gold each. Flood plains – These tiles can be found sometimes along river banks. They produce 2 food, but can also produce disease outbreaks. Oasis – Produce +3 Food and +1 Gold. These tiles cannot be improved other than to add roads and railroads. Ice – At the top and bottom of the map are ice tiles representing the north and south poles. Airplanes can fly over these tiles, and submarines can go under them, but otherwise they are impassable Fallout – Once nuclear weapons have been discovered, you can have tiles that are covered by fallout. This will reduce food by 3, production by 3, and gold by 3. Movement cost is 2. In practice this will mean the tile produces nothing. A Worker unit can clean this up, but it will take time. So until that happens, you should look for opportunities to move your citizen into some other occupation until it is cleaned up. And you have to clean it up before building or restoring any improvements. Atoll – This tile type was added in a patch with the Polynesian DLC. It is an ocean tile that produces 1 Food and +1 Production. Movement cost is 1. Admittedly, this is a lot of detail to take in, but there are a few basic rules you might want to keep in mind. First, you don't want to settles cities where there are lots of Desert, Tundra, or Snow tiles. One or two Tundra tiles are OK if there are other positive features, like access to a luxury resource, but Desert and Snow tiles are completely useless. Again if there are lots of desirable tiles available, having one or two Desert or Snow is not problem, since in most cases you never will work all of the tiles in most cities. But look for the good tiles. Similarly, Mountain tiles are not generally useful, however if you are going for a Science victory they can be handy if you settle a city immediately adjacent to a mountain, since that will let you build an Observatory in the city. Observatories cost zero maintenance and add 50% to the science output of the city, making them very valuable. Mountains are also handy as barriers to keep away your enemies. Jungle tiles can also cause disease outbreaks, but clearing the jungle from the tile will put a stop to that. I will always clear away any jungle or Marsh tiles within my cities. Defensive bonuses are also important, but that is better covered when we get to warfare.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, I'm Wojciech (pronounciation available at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wojciech ), I'm a nerd from Poland, I work as a software engineer. I've found HPR about a year ago and wanted to record a show since. But life is busy. I'm trying it out, in a supermarket parking lot in my car. This is my second attempt, so we'll see how it works. How I got into tech? In a way I've kind of always been there. At least since I was a child. The story that I like to tell is when I was about 4 years old my cousing launched me Mortal Kombat on his Amiga computer and I got interested. That's my oldest tech related memory. As a kid I've mostly played video games. Mostly on clones of old 8-bit consoles like Atari 2600 or NES, later some unspecified models of Commodore and Schneider computers. I don't even remember what exact models they were. Got my first PC at about 10 years old, it was an Intel 486SX, 12 MB RAM, 850 MB HDD, running Windows 95. Still mostly playing games on the computer but, as it was running Windows, as you maybe know, with Windows come problems. Sometimes user-induced, but not always. Spoiler, it's been over 25 years and this trend continues. Around the same time my sister went to high school and got a Turbo Pascal textbook. This is what really got me interested in programming and that's when my interests and career in software development begun. Since that time I had a very good idea what I want to do in life. I just knew I wanted to work with computers, primarily doing software engineering. I went to a technical university, Wrocław University of Science and Technology. And there I got interested in other computer related things like networking and I also got into digital and analog electronics. Just because I really wanted to go that one level deeper, to learn about how computers work, and electronics in general. I also have other interests, but tech and non-tech related, like for example science fiction literature and I would like to record some shows about those in the future. We shall see. There is one specific story I want to tell, but I think I will save it for October. Why October? Because it is a workplace horror story about... Windows. Well, not really a horror story story, but it was really bizarre and can be described as such. In the meantime I don't want to promise anything. But maybe I will record a show about what I am currently doing at work, which is the topic of audit trail in software applications. But I am chaotic and may do something entirely different. We shall see. I think that's all I want to say today. I would really appreciate if you left some feedback. Was the audio OK, is my English enough, did I speak too fast? English is not my first language and I've noticed over the years that I really tend to speak too fast when using English. And that's it, thank you for listening. Hopefully we'll hear in the future from me. Provide feedback on this episode.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello, this is Archer72 for Hacker Public Radio. In episode, it seems that AI is a trap. This over-arching generalization is my opinion and may not reflect the opinions of HPR. So the back story to this is that I was listening to the 26 hour Hacker Public Radio New Year's show, and the discussion came up in the Tech and Coffee Telegram Channel My Resolution was to stop using ChatGPT for an AI chat bot, with the implication being to not using AI at all, but instead, to use Duckduckgo and Brave Search Probably less than a week or two later, I was trying to figure out something, and figured that I'd use the easy way and use Claude.ai , which is actually pretty good if you have short and concise questions. I've found that if you have a long drawn-out question, it is better to do a Google or Duck search and document your results. I document in Vim, but you can use whatever is best. This way you can clearly show what works and doesn't work and refer to what you find later, instead of relying on an online service. And sometimes, depending on the AI bot you use, exporting is not very straightforward. With the exception of Duck.ai , that has a button for a quick share of a text file. Then you share it to your self somewhere else like in Proton mail Well… Over the past weekend, I was just making a quick upload button to my own server. The previous weekend, I got HTTPS working. This was just from following the guide on the Let's Encrypt - Documentation and EFF Certbot instruction - Apache2 websites. At least that time, instead of using the AI bot, I just followed clear documentation. See, the thing about going right to the Debian Wiki or the Arch Wiki is that users and developer have already documented plenty. I figured out that part of the hacker method is not to take the ‘easy' way, but to document out what you are trying to learn. So this past weekend, I was trying to learn something about that upload form, and I probably took longer going back and forth with the AI bot than If I had taken the time to search the documentation. And even if it did take longer with the documentation, I would have learned something else and created a Markdown document of my own. There is a tool I use once in a while, which is part of the Duckduckgo search, called Search Assist This can be good, because a have a horrible memory. If there is something small that I can't remember how to do, I let Duck.ai take care of it. But recently, I have turned off the option where it says to sometimes show Search Assist , but instead only when it is on demand. That way I won't be tempted to go down a rabbit hole in order to find what I am looking for. Instead base what I am looking for on standard tools. So Yes, AI is a trap, but is also useful for certain things. But if you are careful how you use it, it's not always a bad thing. This has been Archer72 for Hacker Public Radio.

The goal of the app is to create an easy to use instant messenger which is open source and accessible for everyone. " The most pleasant messenger I've ever used. Beautiful (and that's the meaning of "cute"), can be used on the web or app. Once, the developer, Krille-chan, I think on Mastodon, said some users thought "cute" was not professional. But, for him, it was a way to convey the meaning of beautiful. So, the slogan stays as: Slogan: "The cutest messenger in [matrix]" Site: https://fluffychat.im/ Soatok blog From the website: " Writings about information security, cryptography, software, and humanity, from a member of the furry fandom. " A respected man that studies and works with cryptography. Among other themes, he analyses messengers, and protocols in general, and explains — sometimes discovering grave vulnerabilities. His post recommending to not use Session made the app developers itch.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Today we talk with Margreet Pakkert, who was kind enough to record an interview during the Flevoland 2025 Field Work Archaeology Open Day . The students were supervised as they document a Dutch Waterschip . This is a type of fishing vessel that was common in the Zuiderzee before it was reclaimed to form the province of Flevoland . As fish were caught they were kept alive in two chambers in the boat that were open to the sea¸ allowing the fishermen to deliver the freshest of fish to their market . As the water table in Flevoland is lowering, the shipwreck will soon rot away. So the team are out teaching students the craft of documenting the find and preserving what is unique. The ship itself sank between 1520 and 1530. Download hpr4447_VID_20250802_100139Z.mp4 video.

The legs of two people can be seen standing on the grass above two archaeologists who are in the wreck. From the grass level, there is a 30cm/1 Foot layer of sandy soil until there wreck begins. The body of the ship is exposed and we can see the interlocking planks that form the hull. There is a "stepping stone" path made from sand bags from the keel/center spine of the ship, to the surface. One archaeologist stands at the end of this path with a bucket and at his feet is a scoop that he is using to fill it. The lower part of the ship is filling with water that is seeping in from the surrounding ground. Another archaeologist stands in the Bow/Front of the ship with a drawing board where she is making a record of the find. The view down the tent from front to back. The ship lies about 15 Degrees to port (left in direction of travel) A photographer is taking pictures. The bun/fish compartment In the body of the ship we see three wooden partitions, that form the two chambers that were used to keep the fish alive. Although not visible to the untrained eye, there are holes to the outside sea. The Mast hole in the keel A close up of the 2M/6Foot wooden sleeper that lies on a forklift pallet. It is about 15CM/6Inches thick. This has a about 30cm/1 Foot square hole in it, that is only about 5CM/2Inch deep. This was used to hold the bottom of the mast. The Timbers Views of the overlapping timbers with cut marks, and pins holding them together. The Back/Aft A view from the back from the back of the ship. We can see that there is a rip in the hull behind the last fish compartment and the back of the ship. Was this a collision or did it occur after sinking ? An archaeologist is fighting a loosing battle to scoop out water. The glamour of the dig. The back of the site tent showing the woodland in the background, a pile of soil that was removed, and a another pile of rotting wood from the ship. There is a makeshift pool of water used to store water pumped from the wreck. The front of the site tent showing the woodland in the background, some storage shipping containers, some steel plates used to spread the load of heavy machinery. A 2M/6Foot wooden sleeper lies on a forklift pallet. A earthen mound is in front of the woods. In front of that is a very wet and damp looking tarpaulin with parts of the ship. They are normally kept wet covered with another tarpaulin so they will not rot. Each has a label on it. Some are held vertical by sandbags. There is a view of the pile of rotten wood, the eacavated soiland the pump pool. There are some rusted iron as braces in the wood. There is a rust shaped axe. Information Displays A informational poster showing how they determined the date to be Dendroarchaeology. If two trees grew during the same period, the thickness of their rings during that period will be the same. Archaeologist were able to make a complete historical map of tree rings going back to prehistory. They did this by comparing the overlapping tree rings from in existing buildings, shipwrecks and artwork. In some cases there were receipts from wood choppers for the timbers. Further back can be used by comparing overlapping rings in different artifacts. A drawing of the ship cross-sections through the center, a top, front and back view. Then a drawing of the ship with triangle sail at the front, and a square sale at the back with rigging. The cross section shows where the bun/fish compartment was located in the middle behind the mast at the bottom of the ship. A informational poster tells us the shipwreck was discovered in 1972 when the land was drained. The ship is 16 meter long and 5.5 meter wide, which is a small version as they often got to 20 meter in length. The ship was complete to the top of the bun/fish compartment. It sank somewhere between 1520 and 1530. It continues to give a timeline of the discovery. The next poster shows the 3d scans from 2022 to 2025. 2022 Shows the front half of the ship with a rats nest of broken timbers. 2023 The entire top deck is exposed 2024 and 2025 show the wood is now cleared down to the frame of the ship. There are also 3D printed versions of the scans in cases. The 3d scanner used to record some of the models. A map showing the shipping routes through the Zuiderzee. Items that visitors are encouraged to touch are fresh moss used to seal the lats, a piece of timber, some iron nails, and braces to keep the planks together. Items that visitors are not allowed to touch include, barrel taps, rings, actual moss, fish bones, and a box of other finds.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Hello folks of Hacker Public Radio. "A hacker is someone who invades computers". "A hacker is someone who codes". "Hacker is someone in love with technology". "Hacker is a geek, who is a person who likes nerdy things". All of those are more or less correct and of course you know someone that applies one of those popular concepts of the term. I'll defend one other, that can be as imprecise as every other, but, I feel, brings the concept closer to the general meaning of the word: "A hacker is someone in pursuit of efficiency and knowledge, be it in some specific field or maybe in anything that can be known". To be a hacker is more a characteristic of the brain than of something someone does. It's targeted to what achieve emotional, relevant responses to the person, that has to do with purpose. Everyone has a purpose, and we can see purpose as a matrix. PURPOSE: I | M | Relevant | Relevant P | purpose | purpose O | + no success | + success R | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - T | A | Not relevant | Not relevant N | purpose | purpose C | + no success | + success E | * * * * * * * * * * * * * * SUCCESS Where is the happy hacker located? Let's remember, a hacker is someone that seeks out meaning. The definition proposed in this show is: "A hacker is someone in pursuit of efficiency and knowledge". So, the blessed hacer is the one on the top of the matrix of purpose: it is someone that has a purpose that is relevant to him. He does not need success, he needs a reason to pursue it, even though the results are not always 100% dependent on him. If someone gives him (or her, of course) one ideia of purpose, and he adopts it as his personal search, he can achieve great success be it on any area you can imagine. But, if it is not of his heart, he will end up being less than he could be, feeling unsuccessful. Because, a hacker is not searching for efficiency on the void: he needs his brain inputted in what has relevance on this own, intimate understanding of the universe. And this is why "a hacker is someone in pursuit of knowledge and efficiency". Both together, conveying as a meaning, a meaning the hacker dedicates himself to, and that makes him happy, even in days, months or years without observable results. That need of purpose is not common to humanity. There are many many people happy in working on what comes at hand, receiving the payment, ranting about the payment and living the life Learning, pursuing purposes, lacking empathy (as hackers sometimes do), are not traits of personality of many many people. They do not try to use their brains to maximum learning, to have transcending conversations, to, eventually, teaching other people, formally or informally. Why this contrast is presented? Because a hacker is someone different, not only in the tastes and preferences. It's not a matter of what you like more, or how you prefer to do or not to do things. It's an entirely differen mind, more sensitive in some parts, more out-of-this-world in some others. Those were some points of a possible definition of hacker — that involves efficiency and knowledge as a particular composition of his thinking and feeling structure Passing through the blessings and difficulties of this particular mode of seeing the world, the universe and so on. So this is why there are computer hackers, life hackers, hackers, simply... and not everyone will end their lives knowing how to make a computer say Hello World. — Because a hacker can know and do many things — like crocheting clothes on Second Life — but not necessarily will have any interest in programming And every hacker is different. Are you one? Do you think someone can become a hacker or is this a form factor, a person comes to be without operation of the will?

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Hairy Larry Playing Noumenology From The Archives Of Something Blue 2025-01-12 Thanks Marty, today I'm going to improvise jazz piano on a song inspired by Immanuel Kant. Now Immanuel Kant was an influential philosopher back in the 18th century and he remains influential today. Kant created a dichotomy between phenomenon and noumena where phenomenon applies to things we can perceive with the senses and noumena are things that cannot be perceived. So I wrote this song called "Noumenolgy" about the study of things that cannot be perceived. At first I thought this would be an ideal academic tenure, I mean, who could prove you wrong? But further thought led me to many scientists who deal with noumena on a daily basis. Take cosmology for instance, the study of the origins of the universe. Cosmologists have come up with the idea of the big bang, something that happened about 14 billion years ago. They check how fast the universe is expanding to come up with a number like that. And they keep building bigger and bigger telescopes because the farther away something is the longer it took for it's light to get to us which means we're really looking back into the past when we look at distant galaxies. Well, the big bang is noumenal. I mean, nobody's going to actually perceive it. So you could say that some cosmologists are, in fact, noumenologists. Or take particle physics. String theory, where we look at the stuff that makes protons and electrons, started as a mathematical exercise without proof in the real world. Definitely noumenologically inclined. But those particle physicists kept building bigger and bigger cyclotrons banging atoms together to see what escaped and they started detecting the mathematically predicted sub-particles. I read last week that they discovered a particle that has mass going in one direction and no mass going in the other. Now, how does that work? Moving on from philosophy, cosmology, and physics to noumena that actually affect ordinary people. Songwriters have written more songs about it than any other subject. Stories about it finance the publishing industry allowing them to publish books on philosophy and cosmology. And Jesus preached about it as his core message. Of course, I'm talking about love, something everyone experiences that has no phenomenal existence. You can't see it. You can't touch it. What is love? remains a valid philosophical question. So there we are. Back to Kant. On the song "Noumenology" I scat sing with a bebop and a doowop replacing actual words. So I got to thinking this morning, maybe I should write a lyric? Maybe about a cosmologist and a physicist who fall in love. Or even better a cosmologist and a physicist who bond over their shared their love for noumenology. Which brings us to the big question. Just what is up with Hairy Larry's brain and how does he come up with this stuff? I'm going to reveal my secret. Sometimes it's dreams. And sometimes, in the morning, when I'm not ready to get out of bed, you know what I mean, you've been there, my mind just goes tick tick tick and the next thing you know I've written another podcast. So now, from my "Hairy Larry Livestreams" album, here I am scat singing to "Noumenology".

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Today we'll be talking about my setup based on a Urandom episode that sparked my interest. And I'm pretty sure they mentioned in that episode about having a KVM or a USB switch we're both, but I know there was mention of a KVM, but I wanted to ready to know specifically for my setup, what I found successful instead of doing the whole KVM thing, or running an HDMI cable forever, I found it doing a USB switch and just manually pressing the switch on the inputs for your monitor, I've worked great for me.Provide feedback on this episode.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Presenter explores Thermosol refill challenges, proprietary adapters, and DIY solutions to optimize mosquito repellent efficiency.

Proprietary butane adapters create refill barriers for Thermosol. 3D-printed adapters offer a customizable refill solution. Butane refill systems include nozzles tailored to Thermosol cartridges. Proprietary check valves in cartridges complicate refills. Pressure management is critical during refilling. Marking the fill line prevents overfilling. O-rings must be carefully removed to access check valves. A wood screw can extract the proprietary check valve. Refilled Thermosol devices often use Chinese-yum pads. Discolored pads indicate the need for replacement. Yard waste storage increases fire risk for Thermosol. "Slit in the middle" adapters enable effective refills. Adapter design mimics regular butane cartridge geometry. Fuel escape through slits rather than central tube. Overfilling leads to excessive pressure buildup. Reusing empty Thermosol containers via refills. Combining DIY methods with commercial refill kits. Alternative nozzles may fail without proper adapter. Proprietary valve removal enables long-term cost savings. RECOMMENDATIONS: Use 3D-printed adapters for Thermosol refills. Extract proprietary check valves with a wood screw. Mark the fill line to prevent overfilling. Replace o-rings carefully to avoid damage. Store Thermosol in fire-safe containers. Combine DIY slits with commercial nozzles. Swap out discolored pads regularly. Repurpose empty Thermosol containers via refills. Use a tapered object with a central slit for refills. Avoid proprietary adapters by modifying existing nozzles. Pressurize and depressurize during refill cycles. Source affordable Chinese-yum pads for replacements. Inspect valves for one-way check mechanisms. Follow video tutorials for adapter installation. Prioritize sealed containers for long-term storage. Adapt butane lighter attachments for Thermosol. Test refill methods with empty containers first. Document fill line marks for future reference. Compare DIY solutions to commercial refill kits. Advocate for open-standard Thermosol refills. Provide feedback on this episode.
