It’s interesting it took you this long to substitute “junior coder” with LLM. The implicit safety is just as applicable to teams of human error prone devs.

Bad play, move them to plex first, much easier and still converted. Once they’re used to plex, then have the Jellyfin discussion.

Did you mean to stay steganography perchance?

If you can reduce complex matrix multiplications into simpler terms, then you may be able to focus the training based on those constraints to increase performance/efficiency.

I would love it if they made it easy to split 16x PCI-e 5 16x/8x/4x slots into gen3 or gen4 breakouts.

The chips may not have the lanes, but they have the bandwidth if only 10GbE / 4xm.2 / storage controllers could plug in. I wonder if power is an issue.

It’s not just their paper printers. Their label makers recently drm to work only with overpriced Brother tape.

I think we’re seeing his spilt economic system coming into play with computer hardware. Less and less B2C sales over time. It’s just not as profitable to sell to poor people.

I’ve always wondered if the electrons bound to a nucleus are somehow bound to the element they were attached to.

Changing an element from Hydrogen to Helium or any other variant of conversion seems like it breaks an especially solid confluence. Each proton determines the atomic number, and there is a corresponding electron for each proton after all.

They may float around the universe, but could they still “belong” to the element they were formed with, bound to be impacted in some way when that element converts to another (in a stellar reactor for example).

This would mean electrons are somehow unique most likely, but stranger things have been observed.

From a capitalist economic perspective, it makes logical sense to maximize your profits and entice wealthier customers with quantity discounts.

From a societal impact perspective, it adds transactions that may not have happened otherwise, but these are mostly isolated effects from what I can tell. This can spur the economy with spending, and be more efficient. Ultimately however, it ensures that those with more money and the ability to buy in bulk lose less money than the tired masses. This should lead to wealth inequality over time.

Without knowing what impact each of these individual variables has in isolation, it’s difficult to define metrics for “net benefit” to society with any real certainty, let alone begin to measure them.

Try to become an insider at one of these exchanges even with a couple million dollars. See how it goes.

This is like Coke ONLY giving discounts to Costco instead of anywhere else so that Costco can reap the rewards. Walmart, Target, they can all pay full price.

The convenience store spends more money to package individual items. A crypto transaction is the difference of a keystroke. They are not comparable on many fronts.

The way foam mattresses work is weight deformation. If your butt is heavier than your head, it sinks in more.

I’ve never seen any evidence to suggest this was good for spinal alignment. If you’re a side sleeper, it can also be bad for your shoulders if it doesn’t sink in enough.

Highly recommended to check out the worm simulation they mention: https://openworm.org/

I wonder at what level of simulation complexity do we have to worry about any pain the simulations may be experiencing?

If you simulate a brain, assuming you do it well enough, you’ll start getting into ethical concerns.

Why is it we can’t use any DNS service by now? I want to use a completely alternate list that has the main domains like Google, Apple, Microsoft, and whoever wants to list, but doesn’t register everything like the global DNS system.

Seems silly we deify one DNS pay to play scheme when we can easily point to alternate DNS. As it stands the world has a naming scheme monetized and owned through no merit or logic based system, just entrenchment.

.onion kind of does this with privacy. .eth (ew) kind of does too, but critical mass is unlikely.

Best Buy will also sell identical hardware with a slightly modified SKU and negligible changes to avoid comparison.

It’s difficult to compare when BB is the “only” company that sells a particular item.

Isn’t it wonderful when they make rules stating you must pay taxes, then they make it so convoluted and obscure that you’re forced to spend extra money to file them?

It seems almost like corruption.

Copyright is a form of censorship in an absolute sense. It leads to a less skilled / educated populace and consolidates wealth. For a capitalist nation, it’s very anti free-market.

I’m shutting down the film festival and reserve the right to shut down all future film festivals with this precedent. I’m not censoring you, of course. You’re free to assemble in the local Hollywood studio.

Sounds a lot like censorship lite before the full fledged version ships.

The problem isn’t the necessary fluff that must be added, it’s how easy it becomes to keep on adding it after the necessity subsides.

Google was a more honorable company when the ads were on the right hand side only instead of tricking you in the main results. This is the enshitification people talk about. Decision with no reason other than pure profit at user expense. They were horrendously profitable when they made this dark pattern switch.

Profits today can’t be distinguished accurately between users who know it’s an ad and those who were tricked into thinking it was organic.

Not all enshitification is equal.

The problem is accountability. Imagine starting a trade show business in the physical world as an example.

One day you start getting a bunch of people come in to mess with the place. You can identify them and their organization, then promptly remove them. If they continue, there are legal ramifications.

On the web, these people can be robots that look just like real people until you spend a while studying their behavior. Worse if they’re real people being paid for sabotage.

In the real world, you arrest them and find the source. Online they can remain anonymous and protected. What recourse do we have beyond splitting the web into a “verified ID” web, and a pseudonymous analog? We can’t keep treating potential computer engagement the same as human forever. As AI agents inevitably get cheaper and harder to detect, what choice will we have?

I’m building my next house right on an active volcano. Thank you for subsidizing my idiocy. You should see the view!

A smaller selection pool is statistically less likely to be qualified, all else being equal.

You mean converting $20 monthly subscribers into less profitable API users?

When they’re not able to source labor locally, is that not incentive enough to leave?

If you take yourself out of the equation, hiring the best labor for local jobs, irrespective of location, is more effective use of resources and a net benefit over restricting employment to a smaller, less qualified field.

It may hurt the individual, but helps the country.

I could never getting working on rpm-ostree distros.

This has nothing to do with ZFS as a filesystem. It has integrity verification on duplicated raid configurations. If the system memory flips a bit, it will get written to disk like all filesystems. If a bit flips on a disk, however, it can be detected and repaired. Without ECC, your source of truth can corrupt, but this true of any system.

I did this with an amplifier and a couple cheap AudioCast devices as inputs. I can go to the app and pick which zones play together.

Half hour? Try a two day video on lesson.

I can’t think of any positives of advertising that are not solely to the benefit of the advertiser.

That knife you bought because it looked cool, not the sharpest or most suited for your tasks. Cheerios aren’t really good for your heart. Dentists don’t universally recommend your flavored grain-infused fluoride paste.

It’s legalized lying where high end marketing companies are so good at it you might as well not try with a small budget. It’s not just bad from any angle, it’s also entrenched.

This is why you see headphones used in recording studios I’m sure.
