USEnet would like a word.

The RAM I just bought last week was 4 times the identical purchase 14 months ago.

You sure it’s not part of the shortage? Who’s making new ddr4?

Vigilantism isn’t sustainable.

I think anthropic is in the “ah shit we’re dying” startup stage. They’re not looking it profit so much as not lose ALL of their shirt in the coming crash. So it pivoted and ditched its morals. Hate them for that.

Don’t hate them for being greedy yet: they’re not there. Maybe they’ll never get there. But they’ve lived long enough to become the thing they strived to destroy, so that’s a milestone.

I look forward to the days when proper decorum is restored and we don’t have catcalling and jeering.

But my country is different, and we do not allow that kind of boorishness.

I use some apple 3.5mm earpods for all-day some-nights work, and calls and music. They’re cheap when I catch them in something and they wreck, and no fn batteries.

I haven’t noticed I’m wearing them, not in years. I think it took a week to get 100% used to them.

that’s why “they (the rich)” want to drive up the price of HDDs so we can’t afford it, so we are tied to their cloud systems forever

That seems like a reach. Hanlon’s says they’re just buying HDDs for their Artificial Imbecile service.

Compared to microns?

Although it’s been shown learning another language as a child changes the way your mind works, there’s only so much money in the teaching budget and so many hours in the day. Conservatives want to take both from our kids, for their own ends, so justifying the value of the resources to the student is a perennial challenge.

Given the low proficiency of current grads with their first language, and basic skills like punctuation and spelling, I say we’re a LONG way before we can open a second language in the curriculum.

…and so many people didn’t quite f’n get it that if you don’t vote for Harris, you get Trump. Binary choices are easy for kids to understand but hard for American voters.

Have the day you begged for.

a common complaint about AI in the classroom is there is no open source, federated, or other ‘free’ version. It sucks,

The usable free LLMs that can be run on-prem sucks? Is that what sucks? Because there are some.

Do the complainers know they’re complaining about a non-issue? Can you use that situation to help describe what Beggaring the Question means?

… And comma splices are always bad.

concerned about Lecter then chubby folks

then

Seems after Dr Lecter was done there may not be much left for chubby folks.

Ah, but the keyboard manipulation is direct, at least.

an ad spend

When you’re off the used car lot, ‘spend’ is still only a verb, and the word you wanted here is maybe ‘purchase’ or ‘deal’.

‘The spend’, ‘the ask’, and other cheese should stay back with the pre-owned Pontiacs.

You guys are so great for a dreary Monday.

future of the internet is federated network hardware

At the very least, that was its past. It was built as a nuke-resilient self-healing early mesh concept.

Then it got commercialized and peers couldn’t trust each other so much, so we have the drunken-starfish setup we have now.

1. I’m glad we’re considering it

2. Launch the damned ships already.

It’ll start as an option and slide into compulsory later. It’s the Systemd way.

Fuck no. He’s fucking done enough.

I say that as a long-time Linux user, a developer and a security researcher. He’s set us back a decade with his metastatic cancer.
