Our technology isn’t capable of understanding advanced missile tech, it’s only good for deciding who gets killed with advanced missile tech.

I’ve got a low-energy Intel Atom server. The CPU is technically 64 bit, but some of the other hardware is still 32bit, limiting you to that.

I’ve been running Debian on it (and several predecessors). I’m stuck on Debian12 because they’re dropping 32bit support after that.

I don’t really use it to “self-host” other than as a file server for backups and Pihole.

If you read the article, this is a very specific legal question. And honestly, it’s too gross to contemplate, and having a strong opinion about this on the internet is rightly suspicious.

The good news is the criminal in this case didn’t just posess CSAM, and no matter how this shakes out, they going to jail.

Microslop has designed a hardware solution to disable AI features on Windows for advanced users.

This isn’t a weapon, and probably won’t work as intended either.

“Space lasers” don’t work over long distances because the light spreads out. (inverse square law) A pinpoint laser is almost 2m wide when pointed at a low flying aircraft.

Increasing intensity doesn’t work because you’ll need a) a Dyson sphere level of energy input. or b) a mirror big enough to occupy a significant fraction of our orbit.

This is just “data center in space” fiction

only responds to their investors…

Did you know this is legally enforceable? The shareholders can sue a publicly company if it doesn’t prioritize ‘shareholder value’. For example a company that cut profit instead of doing layoffs.

It’s not spoiled leadership, but a rotten ecosystem that breeds amphibian avarice as the dominant culture.

Did they fix the bug where Ublock Origin doesn’t work?

I will not pay more than $30 for a game. That means I wait for AAA games, usually about 5 years. By then they’ll be optimized, patched, and all the DLC will be included.

This isn’t fair. Madagascar is 592,800 square kilometres. You shouldn’t discriminate against prompt engineers in their studies before they’ve even had a chance to take those future-skills into the workforce. In 2024, Madagascar was estimated to have 32m residents. The professor should be ashamed.

is their a meaningful difference between open weight and open source?

$15.5B dollars, invented out of ether, and bestowed on the lucky gamblers. The stock market is so efficient that it can create wealth without bothering with economic activity. No jobs created; no products produced; and nothing to trickle down.

Elon mad because he’s being exploited for other people’s profit. Delightful.

I’ve never played the two original expansions. I pirated them, but never played. I purchased the “complete” edition from GOG, but still haven’t gotten around to it. What is wrong with me?

Reading the article, the reason proprietary “AI” models didn’t work is because they block the kind of code used in attacks to protect themselves. The Chinese models weren’t superior, they were just able to be run locally without restriction.

The real story is that agentic attacks live and in the wild.

Microslop is confused that the people forced to pay for shitty software won’t pony up for the optional shitty software.

This is good actually. The current standards assume that exposure to ionizing radiation is always bad no matter how small. The evidence suggests that small doses are absolutely safe, and arguably beneficial.

Panicking about small radiation doses has absolutely caused public harm and even death. Many people argue that some of the evacuations around Fukushima were overly conservative and ultimately more harmful than doing nothing.

4K textures are a scam. With upscaling, even the people who run games in 4K don’t use the 4K textures.
