Bluesky and mastodon both strike me as easy targets, they expose protocol level integration points that are probably reasonably expensive to serve and reasonably difficult to detect malicious actors on and/or throttle without significa

The accountability fundamentally lies with the distro maintainers. They're the ones shipping a "product". Either they need to get agreements in place for advance notice, or correctly set expectations with their users that the

What you need - the only thing you need - is dispatchable power. That is power supply that can rise and fall to meet demand. That is not what baseload is. It's also not what wind/solar provide. What baseload is is electricity supp

The problem is where it's measuring joules of energy. To use cars as an example: It measures joules of energy as in "how much heat the gasoline we burn produces", some of which we convert to mechanical energy to drive the car

I'm not sure I agree that they're making that bet (there's lots of market at current ranges IMHO), but even if they were it would be a great bet to make. We're talking about jumping to 375 [1] or even 400 Wh/kg in p

I'm not a lawyer, but the only part of this that seems objectionable is the "telemetry" bit, the rest of it basically seems to say "we can use things you send us to do the things you asked us to do, including for support

Well for instance the top app on fdroid is apparently "simpmusic" which would be impossible to run on an iphone because apple doesn't allow apps like it [1]... and it has 800k downloads from f-droid by itself. To be clear tho

"AI credits" are just US cents. The cost per model is here - and it looks like it is just the API providers API cost: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing...

I'm wondering if they're basically saying they're going to give $10/month free API credits to students and open source maintainers and so on... while otherwise getting out of the consumer portion of this space.

The red pressers commit murder. If people don't press red, the blue pressers don't die. Train conductors and companies take reasonable precautions to avoid killing people - they aren't indifferent to it. If they just built tr

Yes, they do. And killing other people by taking an affirmative action that you know is likely to result in the death of others, with indifference as to whether or not they die, is murder. There are exceptions. The closest is self defense (

No one is saving anyone, we are simply not participating in the conspiracy to murder people. Thinking your kids will be ok after you tell them to become mass murderers is the psychotic bit.
