   Fall of the Roman Empire took hundreds of years and long tomes have been written about it. In this case it looks like there would not be enough material even for a thin paperback.

   It is pure evel and anyone involved in this is a criminal that should be harshly punished. Books are sacred.

   Wasn't copyright law supposed to support creation and propagation of works of art ? Instead, apparently it is A-OK or even encouraged by the same law to destroy books . That does not make any sense! Really might be high time to scrap

   Not to mention many people actually enjoy to create, not to endlessly review and correct AI slop.

   Arguably, any such clauses - similar to attempt for "non commercial" licenses would do more harm than good. If you actually wanted to respect such a license,you would have to endlessly argue what is dual use technology for example

   IIRC that has been discussed many times & can be definitely found in mailing list archives.

   I've just compared prices for an SSD and a rotary disk drive I bought both about 2 years ago. The same SSD is now 3x as expensive and the rotary drive is twice as expensive. This is insane & needs to stop. Also those responsible sh

   More likely AI companies go bankrupt and market is flooded by repurposed hardware sold for pennies by creditors AND Chinese memory from their new fabs, hopefully also killing the existing memory manufacturing cartel. So basically utopia. ;-

    I'm still not sure how shorting is even legal or what useful purpose it serves in the stock market. Wasn't the whole idea that people can invest arbitrary amounts to companies by buying their stock, making investing more efficient

    It might be fully online by 2030 if the current demand lasts . IMHO the demand is unsustainable & build on circular financing deals and hidden debt with no way to be ever profitable. The memory cartel would be crazy to actually invest

    That seems wrong to me - the idea of the "Silicon shield of Taiwain" is that alle the critical cutting edge production is all physically in Taiwan & rigged to be destroyed if Taiwan is ever attacked. If they do diversify, they

    Western sanctions & the simple need to catch up to the capacity of the current memory manufacturing cartel.

    Sure, scale of cloud systems has some interesting properties, that can be sometimes beneficial. At the same time you are at the mercy of whoever runs the cloud, they can spy on your data or even manipulate your workloads, they can renegotia

    We have been there before, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_Mania The companies go bankrupt their stuff is sold for pennies & investors loose their money. The now super cheap stuff might get reuse

    Why should one have to pay for it in the first place ? Seems like it would be easier to just maintain it together with the viewpoint & avoid the unnecessary complexity of a payment system - previously one had to go there to retrieve the

    I still wonder how it should work otherwise if the "AI" is not running locally - it needs to see the codebase & because it runs somewhere remote in a cloud then it needs to copy the codebase over. I'm rather surprised peo

    So we got a lot or bike paths and roads instead of the old railway tracks, many of them built during railway mania boom cycles. I wonder what will we use these shoddy windowless boxes for ?

    Regardless of the datacenter issues being true or not, I think any friction that can be applied on "AI" is good. Not to mention people pushing "AI" not really bothering with facts either. This is necessary to bring &quot

    Yeah, even unprocessed Lunar or Martian regolith will help, provided the added mass does not cause issues - fine for space stations, more difficult for ships that have to drive the shielding around.

    There more ways than just brute forcing massive shielding. If you know where the radiation is coming from & is directional (Sun, nuclear reactor) you can put the shielding some way from you & put the hab module in the shadow created

    Both A-10 & SU-25 have an armored bathtub made form titanium to shield the cockpit (somewhat) from ground fire, aimed mainly against heavy machine gun and auto canon fire + splinters. Sure, those are ground attack aircraft, not fighter

    Well, those confused people mainly ignored the flight profile - Apollo spent a very little time in Earth orbit & boosted for Moon. As a result they flew through Van Allen belts very quickly, so the radio was not an issue. If for example

    This really should be all illegal - you communicate with a company, possibly including sensitive information to solve the issue at hand. Not so that 10 years later someone pick up the cadaver & miss-uses all its secrets for whatever the

    I've seen this explained as LLMs being well - language models. Driver binaries are just a language understood by the machine executing the binary. While its basically unreadable for normal humans, it is just another language for LLMs &
