I’ve been saying this for a while. They need to train it to be able to say “I don’t know”. They need to add questions to the dataset without enough information to solve so that it can understand what is/isn’t facts vs hallucinating

The most illegal part of a DDoS is usually the hacking / exploiting of thousands or millions of devices to make them all request twitter.com

I’m not entirely sure what rules it would fall under if you somehow performed a DDoS using entirely your own hardware and Internet connections. It might even be legal, just against the ToS of basically every ISP. I’m pretty sure if Google or ChatGPT take down a site by sending too many crawlers there’s no legal consequences.

Based on current trends, I’d say we might get SSDs and HDDs at the same cost per GB around 2030. That’s based on prices being 12-13x higher in 2015, and around 5x higher now. SSD cost efficiencies are slowing down, but there will also be a big change in demand once the prices get close, because SSDs have other advantages people will switch as soon as it’s economical.

I’ve currently got a 200TB storage array using enterprise HDDs (shout out to Backblaze’s HDD failure rate publications), and I definitely would not have been able to afford 200TB of enterprise SSDs.

If you’re storing petabytes of data sure, but when a tape drive costs $8k+ (Only price I could find that wasn’t “Call for quote”), and only storing less than 500TB, it’s cheaper to buy hard drives.

I’m not sure how important 2 types of media is these days, I personally have all my larger data on harddrives, but with multiple off-site copies and raid redundancy. Some people count “cloud” as another type of storage, but that’s just “somebody else’s harddrive”

As a person hosting my own data storage, tape is completely out of reach. The equipment to read archival tapes would cost more than my entire system. It’s also got extremely high latency compared to spinning disks, which I can still use as live storage.

Unless you’re a huge company, spinning disks will be the way to go for bulk storage for quite a while.

If anyone’s ever followed console emulator development, they know those undocumented commands are everywhere. There’s still people finding new ones for the N64 hardware

Edit: I should say undocumented behavior, not necessarily new commands

Let me explain how it works when you self host like me:

• “All” starts out completely empty, there are no federated instances to find this way.
• You then have to browse communities on other instances and subscribe to them on your own instance. Only then will posts start showing up in “All”.
• Since there’s only 1 user, the list of communities in “All” is the exact same list of communities in “Subscribed”

For most people yes, you can just browse “All” unless you’re on a smaller instance, since someone on your Instance has probably already subscribed to the community you’re looking for.

I think it would show up in All still, but only posts that were synced while it was subscribed I think?. I haven’t really checked if posts would disappear again. On the “Top Day” view I use, the “All” posts are identical to “Subscribed”

If you’re on an instance with only 1 user, they’re the same thing. But yes, Lemmy’s a lot better if you just subscribe to what you want.

Setting up my own instance ended up being pretty good for me since it meant I had to manually subscribe to every community I want. The quality of “All” posts depends heavily on the instance you’re on.

They’re synonyms in this case, so either works here

Not a single screen to be found! Just analog gauges and buttons as it should be.

They mean time to write the code, not compile time. Let’s be honest, the AI will write it in Python or Javascript anyway

The good old days of phpmybb

I always thought T&& made sense as a movable reference. In order to move something, you need to change where the reference points, so conceptually you need a reference to the original reference to update it. (Effectively a double reference)

i < array.length or else you overflow.

They don’t have to explicitly ban the Cybertruck if it doesn’t pass the existing regulations. It’s not legal to drive in UK/EU. You could buy one for display-only or something I’m sure.

Vinyl is lossy in that any dust or scratches on the record can be heard in the output, so this is only true if you’ve got an absolutely pristine vinyl.

I will say, you can’t beat the satisfaction of tracking down the root cause and actually fixing the bug. I don’t understand why so many people meme about covering up bugs with crazy hacks. It’s not fun constantly looking over your shoulder to see if that bug has resurfaced. They start to pile up.

I’m surprised you mentioned the battery (which is a problem with any EV towing), and not the fact the hitch can just snap off if you hit a pothole hard enough.
