My Ubuntu servers have been in an undefined state since canonical botched a regular upgrade to 26.04 LTS due to the ongoing DDOS. Their status page says everything works. A simple ping tells me nothing works. Let's not pretend Microsof

This is quite reasonable compared to the rest of the process. I thought I was catfished by North Korea when after the third round of requirements was sent.

What do you mean that the people who use Debian Unstable as the basis of their OS would break things?

Remember that they have been saying that since gpt2. I didn't think crying could be such a successful business model.

Thanks pv magazine. I'll be sure to read oil daily about the benefits of LNG plants too.

And you won't get electric tanks for many decades. Where else could you hawk ICE at a premium without environmental regulations?

Or, hear me out, we learn to host our own shit again and stop giving all our data to $megacorp after the inevitable buyout.

That's a big data enter from last decade. Today big data enters use 4GWh power in winter. So only 8 of them.

There's a bit of a difference between 'some batteries' and at least five times the size of the largest battery ever build.

Yes.

by noosphr 6mo ago
There isn't a battery in the world big enough to provide enough power for data enter if this size. Some batteries in this case is a bit like saying some water about the Pacific ocean.

Of course it can be enforced. If you're not compliant with the terms of a license you don't have a license and are a pirate. If the license is nonsensical then no one can run the software.

Too compelex. The simplest sokution is to just copy the gpl/agpl and modify: “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be indiv

Fortran's genesis is quite different from the algol family of languages which is what everyone uses today. This is why numerical computation always feels a bit off compared to the host language, be is numpy or GSL.

If you already have a version of GnuPG installed, you can simply verify the supplied signature. For example to verify the signature of the file gnupg-2.5.19.tar.bz2 you would use this command: gpg --verify gnupg-2.5.19.ta

I've spend a good chunk of time formalising mathematics. Doing formalized mathematics is as intelligent as multiplying numbers together. The only reason why it's so hard now is that the standard notation is the equivalent of Roman

A monopolist has no reason to decrease price because there is no competition. As we saw with Bell Labas in the US it is entirely possible for a monopoly to both have world class research and burry it for decades, viz. magnetic storage http

The reason why labor is weak relative to capital is that there is a huge number of somewhat fungible suppliers, viz. humans, and that they all need to work constantly to keep themselves alive. If we assume that ai makes humans obsolete then
