There's a hotel in Edinburgh with boutique pretensions I stayed in that had smoked glass (only) around the toilet. That was a pretty annoying arrangement for me and my wife. Luckily they had regular loos in reception.

I watched a fascinating documentary about EncroChat ( https://www.channel4.com/programmes/operation-dark-phone-mur... ). It was obvious the police absolutely loved having this real time feed into criminal communications

I ran X and emacs and gcc on a 386DX with 5MB of RAM circa 1993, and while not pleasant it was workable. The upgrade to 16MB (that cost me £600!) made a big difference.

What about the fact that - incredibly - the page defaming you is still up on their website? Surely the judge won't take kindly to that?
761.
by rwmj 11mo ago
It's incredible that they have left the claims there on the website. It's just asking for more trouble & damages.

I am never going to use any cloud service which doesn't have a cap on charges. I simply cannot risk waking up and finding a $10000 or whatever charge on my personal credit card.

Wait, what measures you implemented ? How about AWS implements a hard cap, like everyone has been asking for forever?

Really need to limit the size of cars. Its starting to get ridiculous our here in the English countryside with cars that have to cross the median because they're so fat.

I would just do this on the server side. You can even do it statically when generating the XML. In fact until all the stuff about XSLT in browsers appeared recently, I didn't even know that browsers could do it.

One immediate reason is its going to take another decade (conservatively) to even build one of these modular reactors. Another is the vast cost of nuclear compared to wind. We're deploying wind farms in large numbers right now (and e

by rwmj 1y ago
Wind & nuclear together. Britain already has large wind installations, since the sea to the east is quite shallow (it used to be a land bridge to Europe only 7,000-10,000 years ago). Back that up with nuclear providing the base load a

I'd start by writing a simple Disk Operating System, and forget MS-DOS compatibility (which isn't exactly necessary today). The basic idea (which I think originated from FLEX[1]?) is that you have something that accepts typed comm

This is very true, but I think the other point is that AI doesn't have much "moat". If a competitor can take a pre-trained Chinese LLM, fine tune it a bit, fiddle with the prompt, and ship a product which is not as good but

If Oracle implodes because of their debt (or any other reason actually), it'll make my day.

Plus I can run a reasonable LLM on my own hardware, so I don't even need to pay anyone else. And what I can run locally is only going to get better and better.

They could have saved all the Google money and built a huge non-profit foundation dedicated to making the best browser. Instead they spent it on C-suite salaries and idiotic side quests. This is the consequence.

It seems the breakthrough is that you could use familiar semiconductor manufacturing processes. However the temperature is still going to be a major issue. I don't want a computer that requires liquid helium cooling.
