Here in Europe there are actually anlot of "book corners" where you can just leave books you no longer need & pick up other books people left there. They are in variois places - train stations, hospitals or even repurposed tel

Destroying books is a crime against humanity. Only bad people willingly destroy books.

Who says this needs to feed Americans ? With LNG shipments from Middle East disrupted, the same American natural gas that is used to generate AI slop could have been shipped as LNG & used to generate fertilizer that then helps feed peop

These simple natural gas turbine generators are also massively inefficient - the same natural gas used in a combined cycle district heating plant would have its energy used much more efficiently, but here instead most of it ends up as waste

I would argue that books are sacred & anyone destroying books is a bad person. History seems to agree - bad people did usually destroy a lot of books.

I though Brazil still has these weird tariffs on computers and high tech products in general - at least I've heard from some Brazilians that it's still making personal computing hardware far too expensive wioth little to no benefi

You also get no feedback from people, massive corruption and many useless megaprojects end up being built at the cost of everything else (because everyoneis too afraid to point out its nonsense & regime adjacent thugs will then make it

For the record, Aeon Mall is basically a brand - there are many Aeon malls in Japan in various cities.

The Czech National libraries do that for newspapers, magazines and other periodicals - they bind the copies they get automatically for preservation to big books, so they can be better stored in their archives. Apparently it is getting harde

Destoying books, for any reason, is a crime and it should not be done, ever!

Definitely! Just send a message to a given topic, it gets distributed through the mesh & users either get it or not (they are not in the mesh at the time). Just like IRC.

I'm sure Teller could make you a 10 gigaton nuke with a slide rule if you did not mind some sub scale tests.

Starship is quite a bit sturdier thanks to the stainless steel used & very efficient engines that make it possible to have the structure heavier. We had it demonstrated in the past with Starship surviving multiple burnthroughts and now

The whole Fedora infrastructure shows the default cute Anubis character (while protecting said infrastructure from AI scrappers) & I don't see any problems with that. :)

I'm not sire we need mainstream movies from popular shared universes if it comes to this...

Funny enough, it seems to be surprisingly easy with LLMs from what I've heard. :)

If it's efficient enough you just run it all locally & screw all the rent seekers who want to tell you how you can't use their model & who will sell and misuse all your data they capture.

We must prevent a mineshaft gap!

I think people just react to the hypocrisy of corporations stamping on people for "copyright violations" only for (often the same) corporations to blatantly obtain any data they can find, totally disregarding any licenses, scrappe

by m4rtink 3mo ago
I think it is only rational to want them to fail & to fail hard, to make an example. To avoid future situations where money is invested on hype only with no regards to what societal disruption it causes.

by m4rtink 3mo ago
That's the whole problem from my point of view - we have a whole generation that don't really know anything other than these centralized magic black boxes. That's very dangerous, as it gives a lot of easy to missuse power to

Actually, GEO sats start to drift quite quickly do to IIRC interaction with the Sun, Moon & Solar pressure. It won't massively change the orbit (e.g. it won't either come down or escape to Solar orbit for tens of thousands of

For one the timeframe was far too short - it takes time for stuff in orbit to go around so it can collide with stuff. Not to mention having all those space stations in the same orbit about 200 meters apart.

So lets have all your data vendor locked in a cloud somewhere so that the corp runnning it can milk you for ever or just decide to delete it all on a whim ? Perfect!

A modern powerful MCU should be able to do both due to advanced power saving modes. Or youcan even have a power MCU and very low power standby MCU.

Looks like some regulation is in order to prevent companies releasing dubious software updates with no release notes.

So instead of making efficient use of resources you say it is better to waste them ? Even if you want to take this from an economic PoV - people are paying for that otherwise waste heat you are supplying them.
