I’m sure the current mass extinction, which seems to have started at the same time a climate change, which itself started more or less when we learned how to dump unprecedented amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are causally rela

It was just an observation of a clever feature of my security token, as well as one on how futile it is if whoever wants a real passcode really wants it.

Also, a lot of us live outside the US and have no protected rights whatsoever when on US soil, at least according to the current regime. So, I ask again: please, my American friends, fix the country. It’s a very nice one, I like it, and I

My RSA app accepts a PIN before it generates a passcode. If I enter the wrong PIN, it’ll generate a wrong passcode. Do, I guess the cops will continue to beat me until I produce a valid passcode.

It’s up to the people. If you can convince enough people this is worth voting for, you might accomplish something. It is not always obvious how necessary it is to get involved in politics, even if it is inconvenient, as Mr. Tunick demonstra

There was a time I replaced most Windows icons with their BeOS counterparts using a resource editor messing with the MORICONS.DLL (IIRC).

It’s a job well done. I personally liked 2000’s colour choices, but 98 managed to look modern enough a couple Unix window managers decided to copy it. As my GUI look of choice, I’d be between IRIX and OpenWindows. Motif always looked a bit

Honestly, I think Windows 2000 was peak coolness. XP was too colourful and it went down from there. Windows 8, 10, and 11 look OK, as they toned down the XP, Vista, and 7 visual noise.

The US will not be able to sustain a military presence in the Middle East for much longer. Dedollarisation is happening and when it hits a tipping point, they won’t be able to sustain their current debt financing and interest on treasury bo

Nobody knows the answer to that, but if it’s efficiency they are aiming for, which results in lower inference costs, it’ll last for a while. The inference to training ratio will only get higher and the margins will only get lower.

The two major sides of the system excel at different things that happen to be complementary in AI inference.

I imagine the typical tape user doesn’t get individual drives and instead gets fancy tiered storage servers that include ludicrously fat network pipes, RAM, flash, HDDs and tape libraries, where tapes are fed and removed to an off site loca

True. They screwed themselves thoroughly multiple times.

That is mostly because the players needed to be compact. If you were designing a floppy replacement, it could be built like a tank (and with space to spare).

Record stores are the same - subscription services for music made them very niche.

Companies like this are why strong customer protection laws need to exist, and be full of teeth.

Tape now is very niche - it’s for data archival purposes, and often only exists for regulatory reasons. This is why it is ludicrously expensive- it only needs to be cheaper than the next credible commercially available alternative, which on

I always found the MD format super cool. It’s a real shame that, even with BD-like densities, it just can’t compete with a cheap USB stick.

They are as good as the price the market wants to pay for them. There is a match at $20, but not much more than that.

As is inference, BTW. Just remember you’ll need all memory sticks in place to get to that bandwidth. That’s expensive.
