Woot, competition!

how cheating (particularly single player) can be fun

Have you never played a game with unreasonable grind that saps all the fun out of it ? Often just to drive player hours and ‘engagement’. Multiplayer cheats however can die in a fire.

The tanks might go underground mitigating (perhaps) the pressure explosion risk as opposed to lithium fire risk, but the honking great tent is an issue. Should have a longer life than Li Ion and be repairable vs somewhat recyclable. At scaled production it could certainly be cheaper, but some of the newer immobile battery chemistries might beat it. Synthesized fuel also makes a lot of sense. We shall see. What certainly makes sense is microgrids and power self-sufficiency.

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was ‘Oh no, not again.’

Wonder how small you can scale these and retain efficiency, at twice the footprint (but I’m guessing a lot more volume) of a lithium grid battery, will we see these replacing home batteries down the line?

160km/hr as per TFA.

The ones with metal pigment are still waiting to fail, the ones that died used a cheap organic dye, coz profit. This is Silica (i.e. quartz, a long lived rock) with variances in polarization and intensity,( hence 5D when combined with a 3D Crystal))

OK generic marketing crap and will you have their special reader in a century, but it’s a solid way to project knowledge into the far future (gotta wonder if we need to re-examine some quartz crystals with this in mind ;}

In my understanding, still no, especially not the more advanced filters stuff. PS6 (or whatever the last one you could actually buy was) on the other hand is 95+% functional if you can go back. Not an expert, GIMP is fine for my needs, there’s even a spin with PS-like menu layout if that’s your jam, but happy to be told I’m wrong about new PS.

Adobe shit and AutoCAD stuff are the the last major sticking points these days, Office is in the cloud now. Shame these last two won’t let their cash cows be rented in the cloud (instead of subscribed, you know, a long term rental agreement using your own computer) to my knowledge. There’s always VMs.

They’re not law as long as you can afford the lawyers and legal costs to fight them. Which is, of course, the problem and the system working as designed.

Get the SSDs pronto…

Hmpff, when I added the image it overwrote the original URL, not exactly intuitive, probably makes sense for memes.

Sorry, thought I had, apparently I don’t understand the post creation mechanism as well as I thought. Thanks for the catch, I’ll edit the text.

Eh, I hadn’t bothered to read the comm rules and doing a filesystem check is a suitable pain in the ass. BTW the last word was originally shitfuckery.

Using wireguard to VPN into your home network is mostly trivial (using tailscale to do so is actually trivial, for my usage of the word, but introduces an untrusted company into the mix), opening your local network to the outernet is not, expect pain.

Goodhart’s law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”

TLDR as soon as you have a system like this people will game it…

Remember the last time they went down (without being superseded), me neither, but hope springs eternal…

Soulseek has a surprising number of oddities…

Nah, NVLink is irrelevant for inference workloads (inference nearly all happens in the cards, models are split up over multiple and tokens are piped over pcie as necessary), mildly useful for training but you’ll get there without them.

I use rsync for that.

As does syncthing under the hood. The issue is with backing up an open database and getting an inconsistent state, but KeepassXC keeps its database closed except on update. I also tick the backup old before save setting in KeepassXC (the aforementioned ‘and it’s backup’) and use a versioning backup of the sync directory on the desktop with 3-2-1, so I am sanguine.

Syncthing means it and its backup lives on two laptops, a desktop and my phone.
