I didn't have access to a 486 until around 1999. I was making do with a hand-me-down 8088 and then a 386SX. Back then, 10 years of technological advancement made a huge difference. Today, you can get by just fine with a…
I haven't noticed any bad actor traffic. Perhaps yggdrasil is still too obscure to bother attacking. The stationary nodes are connected to several public yggdrasil peers that are geographically close by. The routing…
Yes. All you have to do is whitelist your clients' yggdrasil addresses in your firewall. in pf syntax: table <yggdrasil> persist file "/etc/yggdrasil-allowed" pass in quick on tun0 inet6 proto tcp from <yggdrasil> to…
It's been working well for me as a kind of poor-man's tailscale, connecting several VPS and several laptops.
So, your dating photos were going to a government contractor involved with AI killer drone technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarifai#Military_work
She ran for President in 2024. Where were you?
Garage works well for its limited feature set, but it doesn't have very active development. Apparently they're working on a management UI. Seaweedfs is more mature and has many interfaces (S3, webdav, SFTP, REST, fuse…
I use a slow cellular connection and noticed some apple service (I could never figure out which one, even after installing an outgoing firewall) was aggressively uploading some large blob every time the mac woke from…
Where I live, permits are only given to licensed plumbers, and all work on plumbing requires a permit (though I’m sure many people ignore the rule).
You’re wasting your time fighting a straw man. I never said all regulations are bad. The question was why plumbers are expensive. I assert that it’s not because plumbing is especially difficult.
Designing sewage infrastructure isn’t rocket science, either. If citizens in your town needed to do it, they could figure it out, regardless of their credentials. Sometimes regulations come about to protect the public.…
Plumbers make excellent money because regulations require licensed plumbers to do the work, and plumbing unions have a financial interest in limiting the number of plumbers. But anybody can do plumbing. It’s not rocket…
Use `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor` to submit jobs, and `Future.add_done_callback` to flip the transcription field when the job completes.
In 10 years, resource, energy limits, and wealth inequality will become increasingly clear to everyone, while the climate continues to warm at an accelerated rate. Social instability might preclude the existence of…
Are you referring to the climate and ecological crisis, or the many cascading problems resulting from overextraction of limited resources? There won't be any tech on a dead planet.
Yes, it would be wonderful to be able to tune out the wretched poor people. Maybe a future headset will include a forcefield to actively repel potential muggers or oncoming vehicles.
The top photo has a blue-green cast, whereas the bottom photo has a magenta cast. Maybe the bottom one is a more realistic reproduction of the scene, but I also prefer the top one, which is more saturated and closer to…
This can’t be all of the rules. Where are the instructions about avoiding controversial topics?
You didn’t address anything I said. It takes a lot more than raw uranium or thorium to electrify all of our infrastructure.
So, your battery is good for 9 hours of compute time. What happens if you have a couple of cloudy days in a row? And what's the insolation during the winter (in many places, it's 1/10th of the amount of summer sunlight)
In order to replace the world's current energy mix with nuclear, we'd have to switch on a new nuclear plant every day for the next several decades. All of that new infrastructure would also require massive amounts of…
That’s right (even though you’re probably being facetious).
I’m old enough to remember when companies were eager to claim that their data centers (or some aspect) were finally “carbon neutral”. Now, with the enormous data center growth for AI purposes, companies don’t even…
> Almost always people use that word to imply something clandestine, misleading, or both. No, propaganda is often quite blatant. Look at the posters from both of the World Wars, depicting US enemies as vicious, inhuman…
Regarding 2022: > The presented data, especially for 2022, are thus preliminary and subject to backward revisions. The more recent data are usually more incomplete and therefore can undergo upward revisions over time.…
