This is the truth. Trump is their prophet. Why else does anyone think he posted a meme of himself as the Pope. They know they’ve created an unbreakable cult and there’s nothing that can be done to shatter the indoctrination his zealots are thoroughly infected with.

It’s actually been an increasingly common slang over the last year or so. Think the popularity of it picked up after they started sending troops to Ukraine.

Surprised that California didn’t join in, as they’re a massive importer/exporter. They probably have almost as much international business as the rest of those states combined.

It is used as a noun in the US, but its use as such is not nearly as common as words like, “initiative,” “plan,” or, “program,” in this context.

Wouldn’t the fiber lead directly back to the pilot, though? You’d have to constantly be moving locations, otherwise they could just follow the wire.

Edit: I know, I know, the more I’ve thought about it–and despite them actually proving it’s possible to do as mentioned in the article–it’s just not very practical to do in many situations. As one commenter mentioned below, after seeing pictures of some trees, numerous drones create a web among trees/bushes/etc. So tracing lines when drones are launched from multiple locations would be extremely difficult and they could even set up ambushed at certain points if they saw enemy scouts doing it.

Having lived in Tokyo for several years in the 2010s, this sounds absolutely miserable. Osaka is definitely not built for such a high influx of people at once.

That’s totally what the US voters were planning on happening when they voted for this dipshit. You’re welcome, world, we united you all against us!

Oh I agree, but the speeds in the article are much faster than any current volatile memory. So it could theoretically be used to vastly expand memory availability for accelerators/TPUs/etc for their onboard memory.

I guess if they can replicate these speeds in volatile memory and increase the buses to handle it, then they’d be really onto something here for numerous use cases.

No, I think they’re saying they’re not interested in ML/AI. They want this super fast memory available for regular servers for other use cases.

Does flash, like solid state drives, have the same lifespan in terms of write? If so, it feels like this would most certainly not be useful for AI, as that use case would involve doing billions/trillions of writes in a very short span of time.

Edit: It looks like they do: https://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/hardware/life-expectancy-of-a-drive/

Manufacturers say to expect flash drives to last about 10 years based on average use. But life expectancy can be cut short by defects in the manufacturing process, the quality of the materials used, and how the drive connects to the device, leading to wide variations. Depending on the manufacturing quality, flash memory can withstand between 10,000 and a million [program/erase] cycles.

Same.

Agreed, it’s an awful headline

Heh. With how they’re taking over the FEC and other election regulatory bodies in red states, I am not optimistic there’ll be normal/fair elections in the near future. Not that the pre-existing gerrymandering was fair to begin with in many states, but it’s going to get worse.

though some suspiciously are.

Some? A huge portion are. Numerous others have replicated it with visual proof. I agree that the news sites should be verifying it, but NYT did and also documented their proof.

AI is useful for basic, mundane tasks and that’s about it. Trying to force it to be some sort of Uber search engine is such a bad idea.

Private schools don’t have to follow the same requirements as public schools already. The person above you is just inferring that since they’re already separate in the current system, the new ASVAB requirement would also be separate. But until it becomes an actual law, it isn’t super useful arguing hypotheticals in this context.

Fucking hell, it’s so depressing living during the collapse of an empire.

For sure, but the primary reason governments around the world keep their classified data off commercial networks is to mitigate risk vectors. The US is just being led by a bunch of fucking morons, so they don’t consider things like that. The encryption within Signal is perfectly sound, but top secret data has no business being on their servers or on unclassified, commercial phones.

Phishing and also your commercial phone is definitely vulnerable. Look what groups like Salt Typhoon and their cohorts have been doing for years.

Yep, OPSEC is definitely a major issue here. But the other problem is like you mention, zero accountability. Additionally, if they delete the chat, there is no way to reobtain the data for historical archive purposes, which is another law violation.
