The ones with metal pigment are still waiting to fail, the ones that died used a cheap organic dye, coz profit. This is Silica (i.e. quartz, a long lived rock) with variances in polarization and intensity,( hence 5D when combined with a 3D Crystal))

OK generic marketing crap and will you have their special reader in a century, but it’s a solid way to project knowledge into the far future (gotta wonder if we need to re-examine some quartz crystals with this in mind ;}

And that rise needs to be based on $200 (the 100 he gave her given back and the hundred she lost).

They’re not law as long as you can afford the lawyers and legal costs to fight them. Which is, of course, the problem and the system working as designed.

Get the SSDs pronto…

Hmpff, when I added the image it overwrote the original URL, not exactly intuitive, probably makes sense for memes.

Sorry, thought I had, apparently I don’t understand the post creation mechanism as well as I thought. Thanks for the catch, I’ll edit the text.

Eh, I hadn’t bothered to read the comm rules and doing a filesystem check is a suitable pain in the ass. BTW the last word was originally shitfuckery.

why AI needs RAM like VRAM I get it but why RAM?

They use the same silicon wafers and OpenAI just made a deal to secure 40% of the global supply of wafers from both SK Hynix and Samsung (2 of the three large providers) ostensibly for project Stargate server farms. It gets so much worse, they made both deals on the same day without advising the other company, and have not provisioned any way to actually use (make chips from) the wafers. It looks more like they’re just trying to keep them out of the hands of competitors. See here for the gory details.

From there the laws of supply and demand and panic buying by everyone else took over, micron (the third big one) dropped out of the consumer market because they’re gonna make bank in the server market as the only unencumbered company. Consumer general purpose computer customers are royally boned. This will flow through into the SSD market as well.

TLDR: Fuck AI in general and Fuck ‘OpenAI’ and Sam Altman in particular. If you pray, pray that this deal gets a legal injunction in South Korea, coz you know the US will just applaud this shitfuckery.

As someone with aphantaisha I sort of hate that, but the annoying part is that it still works. YMMV

OK, that’s horrible, but the difference between mucking around and science is writing it down. Do not dis the general principle because of one example.

like water and rabies

Stealing that, it’s gold, so you know ;}

Goodhart’s law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”

TLDR as soon as you have a system like this people will game it…

IME theater is often where the cute (but often vapid / overly ambitious in a bad way) girls are (some smart ones behind the scenes tho)

Soulseek has a surprising number of oddities…

General Strike.

I use rsync for that.

As does syncthing under the hood. The issue is with backing up an open database and getting an inconsistent state, but KeepassXC keeps its database closed except on update. I also tick the backup old before save setting in KeepassXC (the aforementioned ‘and it’s backup’) and use a versioning backup of the sync directory on the desktop with 3-2-1, so I am sanguine.

Syncthing means it and its backup lives on two laptops, a desktop and my phone.

Didn’t take as long as I expected, but I expected it (which is why I didn’t bother to read, even if it’s not all the way there, it’s coming).

Seriously, advertising (or propaganda to use the older name favoured by Goebbels) really needs to be seen as a much more serious enemy than most do. Propaganda for capitalists is super effective at sucking up peoples mental bandwidth, they’ve been selecting for it going on a century now and they’re depressingly good at it, if you don’t actively counter it, straight to the subconscious, along with all the background crap in it. /rant, but seriously…

yup, the syntax is (from within the distrobox)

distrobox-export --app appname

Run Arch in a distrobox, done (in atomic you lean hard on distrobox and flatpak).
