What mitigations do you employ against the high power draw of the GPUs in fossil-fueled datacentres that AI image generators use?

No, I worked retail during the pandemic and now work on-site. I do not sympathise with people who refuse vaccination because I had to serve them when they were at their worst.

I would argue that the unrest was very much widespread. It was just distributed into different forms. I worked at Chapters for that year, and after we started to require masks in store (we were all getting sick!), I had books thrown at me.

I guess you're right. A blockade, by definition, is to "render [something] unsuitable for passage". They often have the impact of disallowing goods, people, aid etc from crossing a border (especially when a blockader says &qu

As I'm just a lowly computer technician, no I do not get to choose who gets rights. That is typically the domain of judges, lawmakers, and more fundamentally the founders of nations. Preventing goods from crossing an international bord

Very little, honestly. Universities have been abusing the temporary student visa as an income stream. The universities are awash with temporary foreign students, being charged higher tuition fees than domestic students. Partly this is greed

The immigration system we use today was set up by Harper. I'm an immigrant myself, having moved here on a Harper scheme, but under Trudeau. You are absolutely right that this wasn't addressed by the current government, but it is

No, because Canada is not "ruined" or "damaged". The ONE dreadful thing the Liberals did was to renege on their promise of electoral reform. All Westminster-style Parliaments are done a disservice by using First-past-the

The guy likely to take over is going to use non-emergency powers to curtail the rights of trans people. The sanctioned individuals were involved with blocking an international border. They had the stated intention of causing mischief and pr

Scrolling down to the bottom of this post brought up the "please subscribe!" nag screen and also immediately sent me back to the top of the page. The modal has poor contrast on the close button, so it was just confusing. If you

Generative AI is a waste of electricity by definition.

AI image generation is complete crap, a total waste of energy and resources. The Houses of Parliament most definitely has only one clocktower. Cool idea, but maybe stitch John Atkinson Grimshaw paintings together instead of crummy A"I&

In my household it's MS Office. My partner very much enjoys the UX of KDE, but can't switch because she's highly reliant on features in MS Office that I cannot find transliterated well enough to work on Linux. Otherwise, ther

I don't know what your friend's prompts were, but this probably speaks to the conversational aspect. I've found success in using LLMs to "search" for things I don't know how to search for - a 'tip of my to

Waydroid does not require linux-zen. It requires a kernel with the binder kernel modules. They can be managed with dkms on a normal kernel.

My issue with the "systemd violates the unix philosophy" argument is that it... doesn't. I see systemd-resolved touted as an example of this. systemd-resolved is a different tool to systemd; it does one thing and does it well

Resonance will always be quite funny to me. You start the game as a dorky blond named Ed who unravels a government conspiracy with worldwide ramifications. Only a few weeks after the game's release date was announced, we heard a dorky

There's a curl | sh too. Would be kind of ironic to suffer from a DNS poisoning attack while trying to download a DNS client.

The name that keeps coming up is Jia Tan ( https://github.com/JiaT75/ ) but we have no way of knowing if this is a real name, pseudonym, or even a collective of people.

It's Wine, but with additions made by full-time developers who are paid to work on it, backed by a support team that you can go to and say "Hey, help me get this Win32 app running". What you get here is Wine and some level of

It's extremely loose! Using a custom PCB to connect the controller over RJ45 to a custom Pi hat I wrote some code to simply display the button presses on screen, to test the functionality of the controller (we are modifying hundreds).

My coworker has done a similar thing, designing a PCB that allows us to connect the SNES controller over RJ45 to a custom Pi hat. We have students writing bare metal code for it!

DREAMM is a pretty significant project, and differs from ScummVM in a few ways. Primarily, ScummVM is an engine rewrite. They write new code that copies the behaviour of the original games. Aaron Giles worked at LucasArts and was instrument
