The difference is that the most under invested real economy promises little to no profits because of saturation, while these techbros are always ready to promise the moon from the sky. Nothing gets done and less flashy industries stay uncompetitive.


All of these wacky silicon valley startups popping up just shriek very loudly that there is too much capital and not enough real economy to invest all that money into.


Then you need method of power transmission, usually microwaves or lasers, both come with energy losses. With microwaves you need a reliever and those can get about the size of a solar farm.


The man with golden gun only had a ground based “laser” powered by “solar energy”. Die another day had an actual “burning ants with a magnifying glass” tier orbital solar deathray.


Ofc they can’t google, meta and Microsoft are the three pillars of US intelligence gathering network.


You mean in term of internet archives mission and where it can do the most good? I would agree.


The info-sphere today is already a highly delusional place and news can be often contradictory, even from day to day especially by outlets like BCC who is more focused on setting global narratives, not being a reporter of facts as best understood at the moment. No wonder AI would be confused, most readers are confused when navigating every statement made by experts or anonymous officials on every subject. Seems like this study really measured an AI models ability to vomit out the same text in different words and avoiding using any outside context be it accurate or hallucination.


Requires a subscription service.
Double yikes. That almost by definition means cloud and data storage in god knows where. Somebody really wants that sweet sweet profitable metadata.


If you’re stuck in the frozen state, you can Ctrl+alt+delete 7+ times quickly to tell systemd to try to restart the system.
Less destructive way would be to try to open a terminal session with ctr+alt+f3 (or any f key) If it’s only the gui that’s frozen. Makes it also possible to troubleshoot things from there. I had this issue recently. AMD core boost caused random freezes to kwin.


Do the spooks get public authorization now? Isn’t this bad for the organic opposition and people’s uprising narrative that they might want to pull off?
A slur mainly on the internet against those leftist (usually Marxists-leninist) who oppose western interventions, sanctions, coups and wars against countries and governments labeled as “authoritarian”.
originally used by UK communists party trotskyist wing in support of Hungarian -56 crushed uprising against those who opposed it, calling them tankies. Vaguely same as “stalinist”, but it pretty much has lost that meaning in modern use.


it will not abide by the humanitarian terms of the ceasefire agreement.
I would have thunk that the end of days were upon us if Is*ael didn’t pull something so scummy right from the start.


For the whole war AFU has been a supported by and is a a training ground for not just drug cartels, but also Jihadists and neonazis, and it’s not really inflitration if they accept anybody who is ready to fight for money or just hates russia for their own reasons. Ukraine as a whole is also a massive black market weapons depot for all of the worlds militants and criminals because of the systemic corruption the country.
The most convincing argument of why nothing will happen is that an another forever war would basically sacrifice Taiwan, Ukraine and Iran project. US is peaceful when all the warhawks can’t agree on what country they should coup or bomb next.
This Gaza seize fire could however mean that they want to give themselves some space to either go after Iran again or attempt to do Venezuela quickly.


Isn’t self hosting an email server an self hosting faux pas that one should avoid to the very end. I would like not to think about if my messages are going though.


It’s these “private” email providers. They have their access from third party clients usually barred. I didn’t really care since I was using web client for my personal email anyways. Also I only switched because my old provider went tits up and I had to either switch or start paying for the same service for more money for the one who acquired them. Only thing I miss is having all my email accounts in one place. Not really for the shared contacts or calendar, but for the convenience.


I never had such issues. I don’t use thunderbird anymore, but that’s because my new email provider has their stuff locked down hard.
take responsibility in what sense? CEOs are not responsible in no other sense than to the stockholders and/or the board of directors and to the law. If they don’t break the law then the only responsibility they can take is resigning or being sacked. Failing in usually by not maximizing profits if it’s a for profit corporation. It really is a perfect job for a machine because the job really just requires following a preset directives to a letter even to the point of psychopathy.
