1500km is still largely the same timezone though. To actually get consistent usage of the GPUs you'd want users on the other side of the planet using them while the current side is sleeping/etc.

It's impossible to kill gaming like this. Even if hardware was completely unaffordable, people would just use old stuff for longer and then upgrade after prices restore.

Why? Those servers still have to pay the same price for components plus a markup for the service. In theory you can serve more gamers per GPU, but these GPUs have to be physically located in your city to have a usable latency, and that mean

My 2019 gaming PC is considered unusable ewaste by most pc gamers. The RX5700 XT GPU is super cheap second hand right now and I've been able to play every game I want including new releases like Kingdom Come Deliverance II on great set

The Prusa i3 mk4 is about 4 times as expensive as the roughly equivalent A1. Their stuff also seems to have less features and less polish. I get voting with your wallet but not many people want to spend 4x more for a worse product.

In 50 years the world itself will be unrecognisable. The world could be a smouldering wreck by then.

Side streets are often designed specifically to make thru traffic difficult. They have dead ends, weird routes, etc. But yeah, when you can find an empty/slow side street it’s hundreds of times better than a bike lane right next to hig

The people are fairly irrelevant these days. We just saw this week how Israel and billionaires can just spam AI slop adverts to replace a popular candidate with a complete no one. Boomers will see the ai generated video and believe it immed

That’s for an exit node. Relays only relay fully encrypted traffic within the Tor network so there is no way to know what was being accessed. They never connect to non Tor servers so they don’t get flagged as abuse.

Reminds me of old cleverbot conversations where it would always assert it is human and you are the bot. Trained on previous conversations with people.

I'd be interested in it just for fun. Hosting a cool decentralized blog or something. And hosting stuff that is legal in my country but illegal in say Russia. I just don't want to host or transport anything that is illegal or obje

The hard part imo was not being exposed to, or unknowingly redistributing illegal content. They claim this new freenet solves this but the details on how weren't super clear.

I mean you can update trivially without AI. The problem is the risk of breaking something, which the backup mitigates.

The people whose tickets get scalped are already playing in sports stadiums. There aren’t bigger venues. The average event either doesn’t sell out or takes a while to sell out.

He destroys trade relations so the farmers can’t sell their produce, then bails them out by taking on more government debt so farmers can dump soybeans in a ditch. It’s all such a clown show.

Most platforms have a lot of cost and friction to moving. LLMs are all basically the same thing.

The thing has a 2 color display. 8gb is massively overkill. Theres not much you could do on this that would even need 2 gb.

By that point you won’t click a blog post at all. You could just have your own AI generate it for you. The only purpose of visiting someone else’s page is for real content. Not generated spam.

Most of the recent compromises have been from trusted people who had their accounts compromised. So just picking someone you trust doesn’t work out.

This is about as useful as telling people to read the full terms of services of everything they use. That might be easier than auditing every line of code you run. I’ll tell my employer to put the feature on hold for 20 years while I read t

It’s the same idea but dialed up to 11. Apple’s Liquid Glass is a more restrained application of the style.

I’m not sure this is true. Vim needs extensions even more than VS code since many basic features like full project code search or go to definition aren’t in the base vim. And vim has package managers that make installing and updating packag

These kinds of permissions lists have been mostly a failure in history. Users see a massive list of permissions, or permissions constantly changing between updates and just ignore them because there’s no way to reasonably audit them or take

It's called frutiger aero now. Lot of people very bored with modern safe design nostalgic for when tech and UI was weird and bold.

That exists on linux under flatpak, but it requires Wayland and Pipewire. Also many packages just request full system permissions rather than update to work in a sandbox. It's in the works and one day we will have it but progress is sl

It would have restrained the access here. The extension would have only had access to the repos opened by this individual rather than an api key that gave access to 3,800 repos. They probably should have some permission system where the def

Because it's hard to create a system that is both sandboxed and powerful. You can't have an extension system that allows a plugin to run a locally installed linter or view the status of docker containers but can't execute som

Electron has nothing to do with the exploit here. A Vim plugin would have just as much ability to run malware.

by Gigachad 6mo ago
Even if you don't install crap, the latest strategy is attacking the developer of one of the extensions or their build process so you can push a malware update to an otherwise legitimate extension.

Probably most of them are forks of some public repo with some patch applied and half of those are probably not even used internally anymore.
