spacington··on The primary purpose of code review is to find code that will be hard to maintain
Found plenty of bugs by reading/doing code review.
spacington··on Meta building cloud business to sell excess AI capacity
He just has that much money and his 'whatever ecosystem this is' continues to work, it has to be a kind a playground for him.

He could invest in paying back society but he cares more about continuing his ignorance.

Just imagine how his ego got stroked when he was agreeing with trump like a bootlicker but still sitting at a table at the Whitehouse.

Even with this clown this has to count for something in his books.

spacington··on Opening up 'Zero-Knowledge Proof' technology to promote privacy in age assurance
Yeah exactly.

I find the naming and the way it gets sold wrong because of it.

spacington··on Opening up 'Zero-Knowledge Proof' technology to promote privacy in age assurance
It's not zero proof

It's moving the goal post from one entity to another.

You can also fake it by letting someone else solve it for you.

spacington··on Who are the fire-tamers?
If you believe in alternative/ esoterica the chance that you get sick from things just because is higher

Like 5g or Electromagnetic waves

spacington··on Who are the fire-tamers?
Never forget:

For all the little bit of positive results for a placebo there are also negative effects due to noceboeffect.

Also it's very common in esoterica that if it works it was the healer if it didn't it was something you did wrong.

spacington··on WSL container is now available for public preview
Even apple jumps on it now with apple container.

It's time

spacington··on NixOS 26.05
Is devens something else than nix shell?
spacington··on NixOS 26.05
I'm borderline motivated putting Ubuntu onto my parents computers.

Win11 was frustrating ...

spacington··on NixOS 26.05
Absolutely.

The language is just nothing for a casual Linux user.

Arch? Easy. Gentoo love it. Ubuntu for all my servers.

But nix and nix os, nah.

spacington··on NixOS 26.05
Yep!

Just waiting for the dgx spark style system with proper bandwidth as nd a price point of max 1500 or winning the lottery.

But in 3 years I bet I will have Jarvis.

Told my wife already thatwe need a lab room

spacington··on US Grid Constraints: Towards 40GW+ of Behind-the-Meter Datacenter by 2028?
Solar power still can take a certain amount of load from any other source and saving money and CO2 while doing so.

And grid battery works and is cheap enough now.

spacington··on US Grid Constraints: Towards 40GW+ of Behind-the-Meter Datacenter by 2028?
Yeah and the richest person on the planet with full vertical integration (with partner) Elon musk and Tesla aka solar roof and power wall wants to sell DC in space and hasn't fixed any use of gas turbine for Colossus 1&2.

Without enforcement it will happen continuously with snail pace

spacington··on Post-Mythos Cybersecurity: Keep calm and carry on
Yes!

:)

spacington··on Post-Mythos Cybersecurity: Keep calm and carry on
The CCC talk in December showed me how good llms are at ctf.

Ctf fundamentaly have to change.

It also showed how critical it is to use llms now.

A lot has changed in just 12 month tbh.

If you still don't invest time and money into adding llms to your security you didn't hear the bang.

spacington··on The worthlessness of Vitamin D is mildly exaggerated
People tend to fatten up on winter and peaking at around winter solstice

Not sure how your plan should work?!

spacington··on Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice
Why not?

Depends on your product and expectations of your customers.

B2C: I don't care what company structure you are.

spacington··on Reid Hoffman says SpaceX 'not an AI company', xAI 'complete train wreck'
Space-x is it's biggest customer.

Star Link is the main thing which increased the payload to space significantly.

Star Link only has 10 million customers and every few minutes a satellite handover is happening which makes it hard to use for video call (was my experience at a friend's house)

While this business is paying of right now others will get into it too and destroying SpaceX margin (china etc)

Now what else on payload is there? Ah yes Datacenter.

It would take 300-400 Sparship launches alone to get a current 200-300Mwh DC into space alone.

Starship doesn't deliver yet what it needs to be able to do. Neither on payload side nor on cost reduction due to reuse.

A DC will be cheaper on earth for a long time as long as earth is as empty as it is especially for areas which are just dessert.

It would be a lot better long term investment to just build its own Datacenter city in the dessert as ai doesn't need that low of latency and use everything realtime in the other Datacenter we already have.

SpaceX Elon musk fantasy is 50-100 years to early.

You gonna wait so long?
