>The online message board 4chan is being investigated by the UK communications regulator over failure to comply with recently introduced online safety rules.
>Ofcom says it has received complaints over potential illegal content on the website, which has not responded to its requests for information.
>Under the Online Safety Act, online services must assess the risk of UK users encountering illegal content and activity on their platforms, and take steps to protect them from it.
>Ofcom is also investigating porn provider First Time Videos over its age verification checks, and seven file sharing services over potential child sexual abuse material.
>4chan has been contacted for comment.

>The UK online safety regulator Ofcom has fined the US messaging platform 4Chan a total of £520,000 for failing to comply with various aspects of the Online Safety Act.
>It includes £450,000 for failing to put in age checks to prevent children from seeing pornography on the platform. However, a lawyer representing the company - which has previously said it won't pay such fines - has responded to the demand with an AI-generated cartoon image of a hamster.
>In a follow-up post on X, 4Chan's lawyer Preston Byrne wrote: "In the only country in which 4chan operates, the United States, it is breaking no law and indeed its conduct is expressly protected by the First Amendment."
>The fines also include £50,000 for failing to assess the risk of illegal material being published and a further £20,000 for failing to set out how it protects users from criminal content.

>However most of this money has not yet been received. Ofcom says one company called Itai Tech, which runs a nudification site, paid its fines of £50,000 and £5,000, and blocked UK users from its service, while two other firms added age verification.
>It added that other fines were still within their timeframe to be paid, and it was "considering next steps" for those who had missed payment deadlines.
>In December the regulator told the BBC it had never heard from a company running 18 porn sites, which it had fined £1m, although the company did later add age verification to its platforms.

>“Such crises are exceptional, and this means that online service providers’ usual content moderation systems and processes may not be sufficient in such circumstances.”

Biocomputers (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_computing) are an emergency technology where biological components are made to store and/or process information for computers. Biocomputers have been made in the past using brain cells (https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6573-brain-cells-in-a-dish-fly-fighter-plane/) however keeping brain cells alive is both difficult and expensive. Other approaches are currently being tried using fungi and bacteria. (https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/11/09/1039107/e-coli-maze-solving-biocomputer/ https://www.cnet.com/science/pianist-to-perform-musical-duet-with-slime-mold/). There are also approaches in synthetic biology that would use individual biological molecules for computing. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_computing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_computing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcriptor)
So my question to you /cyb/ is how will these devices change the world of computing?

You can make a Turing machine with a Turing-complete ruleset for deterministic data manipulation in Conway's game of Life, that can run the game of Life. There were mechanical cash registers that could carry out surprisingly sophisticated, 100% deterministic data manipulation 150 years ago. That you could, theoretically, assemble such a system out of living tissue should not surprise or alarm us.
But when you actually read these articles there's always an awful lot of "if" and "potentially" and "maybe." We've been on the verge of an amazing breakthrough in biocomputing for 50+ years. It's been all sizzle, no steak, since before you were born, or your parents. It smells like grant farming to me, but I'm a cynic and a horrible person.

What I mean is that a being that exists and can pseudo-natively interact with devices is outside the bounds of the jailers.

Correct I can't and didn't detect you.
So lighting a flashlight in the darkforest not that I'll find you but that you'll see this. Anybody that would be trying to detect you via this would also fail.
It's a decent strategy and one I would also employ and it works. Hat's off to you.

Technical third contact to a new friend.
If I'm too early and no one's there yet I'm shouting in an empty desert still it'll remain til someone finds it, if I'm not someone's beyond or behind a dune.
Besides a great plan survives chaos and the unknown which means becoming essential. The best part is actually being essential and not a "forced feature".
From a moral point of view having a benevolent monopoly or oligopoly cuts out a lot of nasty stuff.
From a pragmatic point of view being the better option is emotionally satisfying due to logical backing of an ounce of prevention.
From a branding point of view it's football presenting the booty and the victory.
That's not to say it's smooth sailing per se, there be many a kraken and dragon. Even buckets of crab.
It'd be a dry place they'd continually try a return.

A Herod's oration, smote for with holding from God.
Cocked thrice, but He knows.
Strange children's vanity.
Edifieth who?
Twain one new man, so making peace. Exhorteth. You-ward.
Anyway His device is against Babylon, so one more reason to spread joy. That's also to say my own Babylon is darkness yet without clear eyes how could it be removed?
Hearing and doing establishes on the rock.
Why would a recent marriage prevent joining another wedding party especially for one who cares deeply.
As such nothing worthy of death or of bonds. But hardness and impenitent heart treasures up wrath. Will render to every man according to his deeds.

I want a robowaifu that can lactate whiskey.
webp is simply better in every possible sense
it's an open format, has a great compression, can animate and supports alpha compositing
>why aren't you using it right now?
jannies are trannies
joking. apparently it's another thing to implement, which is always some work
>it's not needed
popular alternatives are:
-jpeg: terrible. light, but way too lossy
-png: good, supports transparency and can be lossless. but it's too heavy and apng will never catch on with animating
-gif: outdated. limited colours scheme and shitty compression
>b-but googah! and the JOOOOOS!
who gives a fuck about who developed it? it's an open format you can use for anything. the new age of internet is here, despite webp being here since 2010
>compatibility
shitty excuse. be the change you want to see, always

oh yeah, i could also mention i changed my mind about webp. it is indeed buggy and though it could be adopted, it's not worth the effort with the alternatives at our disposal
i am now a jpeg-xl shill and hope chromium and gecko will add support this year

Why the fuck not just go full .png? Yes it's not exactly efficient size-wise, but there is no quality loss ever. Am I missing something?

PNG and JPEG are the best image formats evar. You didn't need more then; you don't need more now. JXL, WebP, AVIF, &c., have no usecase outside of, I don't know, websites with a particularly large amount of user-generated content--that's where every bit counts. Otherwise, it is, honestly, pointless.

>Am I missing something?
practically speaking, no.
you did point out the size. looking at reading.png i posted before, i (i hope) losslessly compressed it to 175,3 KB from 5,3 MB
https://u.pone.rs/bvvpemgj.jxl
that's a pretty thick difference
that's not the end of it though. png supports up to 32 bits of colour depth compared to png's 16 bits. that probably doesn't really matter that much though, it's mainly the size
>websites with a particularly large amount of user-generated content
websites like boorus or social media like instagram? or better yet, archival sites. it does have its usage. i know i can always buy more disks, but you can use them for archival or the archive instead
i also just like seeing one file being smaller while being the same

Alright, I guess I can't deny the size advantage. One inevitable issue with these advanced formats, however, is their relative complexity. In practical terms, if it works, then it works, but if it doesn't, then it might be harder to fix. Furthermore, the more complex a format is, in theory, the harder it should be to implement support for it. It might also prove to be buggy, insecure, and bloated. One grand advantage PNG has is that it is a universal format; it is accepted wherever images are, and you just can't say the same about JXL or AVIF.
Currently, it only makes sense to convert your images to, for example, JXL if compatibility is not an issue, especially web compatibility. Otherwise, it's just a toy format which gives autistics like us a minor satisfaction from saving that a many bytes of disk space.

Fair enough. I remember during covid I was pretty much the only one actually reading the papers. Learned a lot about biology in the process, but I actually enjoy reading research papers.

Long ago I worked at a place where we had access to lots of doctoral dissertations. When the supervisors would go home I'd read them.
One of the problems, though, with research papers and suchlike things is that more of them are bullshit than not, even in the hard sciences.

tl;dr We don't know what we don't know. People have died and continue to die as a result of Dr. Shekelberg's grant farming grift.

Cyberpunk Music Thread -- First edition.
What is Cyberpunk Music? Well there's two different ways to break this down.
Purist.
>The music must contain dark lyrical elements
>The music must contain electronic music and punk elements
>The music must be related to the advent of technology somehow
>The music must contain at least a few accessory elements of Cyberpunk culture, such as drug use and cyber crime.
Non-Purist
>The music must seem like it could emerge from the cyberpunk future
>The music must be (of ideas or expression) bold, new or experimental
>The ideas must be futuristic or experimental in nature, or relate to the strange relationship between technology and humans
Everything else is fair game. If you've been listening to music that you would consider cyberpunk, drop it in the thread with a brief description of why. This thread will be a place to find music, share music, and listen to music. If you are a creator of what you consider to be cyberpunk music, go ahead and share it! Almost anything can be extrapolated to be futuristic in ways that could be cyberpunk, so have at it!
I'll start us off with some recommended listening:
>The Doldrums - I'm Homesick Sittin' Up Here in My Satellite
Category: Non-Purist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1Uok6zdDA0
The Doldrums have usually been what I'd call loose Cyberpunk. Their front-man is a lanklet faggot with a contralto voice but to be honest I love everything that he makes. I'm Homesick... is another song that talks about the relationship between tech and humans, and finding yourself longing for human contact through the addiction of the screen. The instrumental is this aggressive, almost Toxic by Britney Spears style jungle beat with synthesized and sampled violins, guitars, drums. Its a great song
>Machine Girl - Status
Category: Purist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhNJPqBwKcQ
Machine Girl... goddamn Machine Girl, they never cease to amaze. It's two white dudes from the American east coast who make this shit. One just does some drum sampling and live drums and the other one is the real idea-talent behind it. Status is a song, expressed in the most cyberpunk terms, about getting way too fucking high. "Status? Whats your condition?!/Manic! I'm pickin blisters/Static - cut off transmission/I've had it, this trip will take me off the planet/..." The song is riddled with weird polyrhythms, strange samples, strange math music, expert screaming. Some of the best shit I've ever heard to be honest. If you're into weird music then listen to Machine Girl. They're some of the best out there.

Fresh from the streets of NYC, this is some of what I'd call the purest cyberpunk. Gritty vocals, anti-establisment/drug/crime drenched vocals, electronic sampling in almost every song. The creation philosphy of these fuckers is to create by destruction, throwing up the compression, the filters, taking samples and then aurally obliterating them, reducing it to noise rubble. They mention tech sometimes, but its not the focus of their music.
Alright fuckers, have fun. I made this thread because I love you guys.

For me there is a "cultureless" aspect to cyberpunk, where cultures are freely mixed. A world without borders. The Music in Deus Ex does this really well, see example #2, where a long "tabla," a drum commonly assiciated with hinduism, loop sample is used.
Just some shower thoughts.
