10 days agoI think that “alleged” can be dropped, if the emergency-services people had to deal with evidence that was sufficiently-obvious.
Don’t push deluded-doubt to help the disinformation empire, please.

2·10 days agoComputational-Fluid-Dynamics simulations are RAM-limited, iirc.
I’m presuming many AI models are, too, since some of them require stupendous amounts of RAM, which no non-server machine would have.
“diminishing returns” is what Intel’s “beloved” Celeron garbage was pushing.
When I ran Memtest86+ ( or the other version, don’t remember ), & saw how insanely slow RAM was, compared with L2 or L3 cache, & then discovered how incredible the machine-upgrade going from SATA to NVMe was…
Get the fastest NVMe & RAM you can: it puts your CPU where it should have been, all along, and that difference between a “normal” build vs an effective build is the misframing the whole industry has been establishing, for decades.

48·13 days agoIt also is true that ideologically-motivated-coding is an actual thing.
Imagine someone hating that their propaganda gets deleted by moderators, so they make it difficult for moderators to function that way…
while they, themselves, just so a SELECT on their DB to see the images, to delete all the ones they don’t want…
Remember, it isn’t only corporations who are committed to enforcing the Enshittocene, ideologues do, too.
Those comments are proven false by the dot-4 release of Lemmy, but I’m not accusing the Lemmy devs of being the way those post-quoted comments said.
I AM stating, bluntly, that deliberate torque on the use of ANY aspect of an app, is a thing, now, and need be considered as ONE of the possibilities.

umm, Hoomin, that was in the 1900’s!

Put Puppy Linux https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/ on your older machines,
& Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Lubuntu/Xubuntu on your newer ones.
or use UbuntuStudio, for a full audio-visual workstation…
Problem Solved™

Merely threaten … ball-less cowards.
They will remain owned, then, possessed-carrion, instead of owning their own autonomy…
The frog in the slowly-heating-pot is us.

Whether true or not, I don’t know.
I DO know, however, that humans are not institution-puppets without any internal-motivations.
IF they did do so, THEN that doesn’t mean Al Jazeera was in any way complicit.
Apparently there’s some problem at The Washington Post, now, with the guy in charge of the news-room having participated in a crime, & now is ejecting people who have journalistic-standards…
Does that mean they all are guilty of what he did?
How could it?
We’re in an age where considered-reasoning is being displaced by dogwhistle ideology/prejudice, & it’s required for humankind’s survival, that we get competent in journalism’s methodical & careful discernment.
All of us.
Our kind’s life IS at stake, this century.

His tactical-plan is that he won’t be accepting any of the consequences of his policies.
You don’t improve a country’s economic-engine by eradicating education’s foundation.
But so long as he’'s rich, & his privilege is protected, he can’t care what damage is done to his inferiors…
Kinda similar to the ones doing likewise north of there, eh?
& Microsoft is sooo soft-in-the-head as to believe that we ought trust them, after this,
& the previous fiasco,
& the one before that,
& https://search.theregister.com/?q=microsoft+security+privacy&site=
( you may need to go through a few hundred pages there, to see it all )
This is their DNA: it isn’t going to change, now.
Notice his gaslighting:
he’s actively warring to destroy as much of the Palestinian population as possible, & eradicate them from their lands,
& he puts this forward as the real problem, or the key to solution…
Misdirection
Realistically, it’ll take 2 decades to hammer-out AI to the level that it’s truly-mission-trustworthy.
Right now, everybody’s “high”.
It’s the same with all technologies…
Remember a few years ago, when somegody discovered you could power things with steam?
Remember the hype?
The whole coal industry, remember that?
The business with the invention of the horseless carriages?
The invention of the wheel was before my time, but I’m sure it was hyped on Myspace or something, back in the day…
Fucking fool:
Trump’s going to back Putin directly, against East Europe, gutting NATO, & Zelenskiy is goading him to be enemy?
01·26 days agoPower-consumption.
Also, the vibration produced by the 2.5" drives is less, but they’re more-sensitive to it, to begin with.
I’d not even consider spinning-platter drives, nowadays, though:
SATA SSD’s for a NAS strike me as being the sanest choice.
Samsung what are those called, Evo drives?
excellently-high MTBF, ultra-short ( compared with rotating-platters ) seek-time ( literally orders-of-magnitude quicker ), etc.
I don’t know of ANY reason to go with spinning-platters, nowadays.
( & I’m saying that as a guy stupid-enough to have not realized this in time, & who spent money on such a thing, when SSD’s really were the answer )
Whereas I think every one of them looks oniony.
Maybe I’m just remembering too many Mad Magazines from back in the day, though…
This is the perfectest demonstration of how Kahneman1 mind, imprint->reaction mind, ideology/prejudice mind, works to displace considered-reasoning Kahneman2 mind.
There’s no point in appealing to considered-reason within any ideology, left or right, religious or ideological or political…
The imprint->reaction has already defined everything.
The only antidote to such is to have invested, through the previous decades, heavily in competent unbiased education, to make considered-reason/Kahneman2 mind the automatic default for more of the population.
Too bad it’s too late…
“proletariat dictatorship” / “populist dictatorship”
both displace considered-reason.
Yes it’s war: it’s war against considered-reason because ideology’s addiction to its own supremacy is all-consuming.
It’s too bad…
11·27 days agoI would suggest, instead, that “Classical Physics” is created by entanglement:
the non-quantum reality at our scale is just what happens, when everything is entangled, to the point of clogging-up-the-works of quantumness, as it were…
.: you get things like … as you scale up from quantum-level … the everything-is-discontinuous/everything-is-turbulence … turns into, once enough entanglement is happening, “laminar flow” in fluid-dynamics, even-though NOTHING in QM is laminar-flow, so there’s simply no basis for “laminar flow” at the lower-level…
I wonder how significant this is, really…

My experience is that USB storage sometimes breaks-connection for no discernable reason.
That if one REALLY wants to do USB storage, then put it inside the housing, and don’t use one of the external-connectors, use something you can permanently-fix, so nothing can even sneeze in its direction.
This mayn’t help you with your puzzle, but it’s bedrock and unchangeable, in my experience.
USB-storage is an unreliable joke.
ANY revision of it, that I’ve tried.
hth…
Malnutrition creates life-long damage/harm when it harms growing children.
It doesn’t require outright-starvation to damage an entire-population’s viability.
No matter: evil does what evil does, & when it claims that “the bible” justifies it, well, that’s just icing on the cake, isn’t it?
We can see the “Christians” in the US & Islamist “Muslims” proving the same principle, can’t we?
And the “Buddhists” who genocided Tamils, & “Hindus” who butcher whomever they’re ideologically-intolerant-of at the time…
There is no “religion” which is the cause of this: it is caused by our animal-ignorance mind, which the Abrahamic religion called “behemoth”, usually translated as “the beast”.
You can even see the book of Isaiah railing against such things.
Human-nature won’t change until most of our kind are extinguished, right?
Some other species might have had an instant-and-violent-reaction against doing what Russia & Israel are doing…
Our accommodating of it … insults God/Life, doesn’t it?

No: once a corporate-culture gets sufficiently divorced-from-reality, then they “have their heads up their asses” sooo far, that they commit blunders unless they “get a reality-check”.
Committee-culture’s fungus-minded.
The problem is that the frame-of-reference is relative, so a corporate-culture which is still immersed in outer-customers’ reality is only one “degree” divorced-from-reality.
However, if the “frame-of-reference” of a culture is other sociopathic cultures, … then … then outright psychopathy becomes recommended/pushed/evolved, in order to compete among the misperceived-context ( which is only other-sociopathies ).
So, it’s an escalating positive-feedback-loop.
Sociopathy breeds sociopathy, & when enough of the corporate-frame-of-reference is sociopathy, then psychopathy becomes primary, & eventually it is normal & ruling.
The increasing polarization in political-sphere, in religion/fundamentalism-sphere, in moneyarchy-sphere, in legalism’s increasingly shameless contempt-for & eradication-of moral/natural law, the increasing polarization of class-system/monarchy among those in-love with that, the bolder & bolder violent authoritarianism…
it’s all part of the SAME gorgon/hydra, just that each “serpent” is going in its own direction, but the fundamental change in human-unconscious is one of “fuck considered-reasoning: I’m going with ideology-enforcing!!”…
it’s less intellectually-taxing to be ideological/prejudiced “believer” than it is to remain loyal to considered-reasoning…
there’s less moral-anxiety within ideology/prejudice/belief than there is in considered-reasoning…
Overwork unplugs one from the push/pull cycle, the work-hard/rest-deeply cycle, which considered-reasoning requires…
& Microsoft is only 1 single example of progressing-through-sociopathy-into-psychopathy among our countless corporate world-possessors.
DarkHexad dimensions of human-evil:
Narcissism / Machiavellianism / Sociopathy-Psychopathy / Nihilism / Sadism / Systemic-Dishonesty.
Can you see how the more one immerses oneself in DarkHexad as a means of “winning”, the more one’s frame-of-reference normalizes that all?
It’s just “drift”, but in frame-of-reference, is all…

Is his personal-information on the dark-web?
Is he saying that if his personal-information is on the dark-web, then it’s perfectly-OK for everybody & their robot to be using it??
XOR is he saying that there are 2 kinds of law:
1 for protecting his entitlement,
the other for disallowing rights from the lives he consumes, through his beloved herd/corporation/pseudo-person?
( obviously, he’s already answered the latter )
