Almost happened to Frank Rubio when the radiator blew on his ride.

You could make a religion out of this.

I thought one thruster has been permanently disabled now? Not that that's a major problem, but it does eat into their redundancy somewhat.

How will they filter it out? If they just don't mirror anything with 'forbidden' terms, we can poison repos to prevent them being mirrored. If they try to tamper with the repo histories then they'll end up breaking a load of stuff that relies on consistent git hashes.

Don't hurt me
Brush tools.

In fact, forget the Internet.

Revolutionary

I see what they did there.

Ah, you're travelling in to London'); DROP TABLE Airports;-- today? And how is the weather in North Korea?

Windows 9

Woah, that's sounding a bit too logical, there.

Even better is that the Windows 11 version number isn't 11, it's 10.0.22000.

They didn't put a /s at the end, so that can't be it.

Kenya believe it‽

Yeah they were out of contact for 63 days when it flew ahead of perseverance last year: https://phys.org/news/2023-06-ingenuity-mars-helicopter-home.html

The article doesn't seem to suggest that they've given up on it.

2606:4700:4700::1111

Hmm, maybe Google is easier:
2001:4860:4860::8888

Quad9 is 2620:fe::fe or 2620:fe::9

I don't understand why they can't get better addresses than that. Like surely 1::1 would be valid?

Edit: So IANA only control addresses 2001:: and up and there are quite a few IETF reservations within that. I don't know why they picked such a high number to start at. Everything else seems IETF reserved with a little space allocated for special purposes (link-local, multicast, etc.).

The point being made is that it also depends how often the 'true' value gets used in the code. Tests might only evaluate it a few times per run, or they could cause billions of evaluations per run. You can't know the probability of a test failure without knowing the occurrence rate of that expression.

The Seebeck effect. The same way a thermocouple works.

Their solution is to let users filter out websites in compatible browsers. This lets them blame the user for not marking sensitive websites as such. I don't know if native applications can also be filtered.

Of course they also filter out precious DRM protected content. You wouldn't steal a series of JPEGs.

8% reduction in peak AC usage would be huge. I don't have a good feel for numbers like that but I'd imagine it would take a lot of maintenance and roof replacements not not make a saving given that kind of energy reduction.

It would be nice if they could estimate some uncertainties and show where the break even is between energy reduction and upkeep energy expenditure.

I mean, we have systemd-bsod now...

Not that I've ever seen it of course.

Also Matter is the smart home interop standard. Seems close enough for some confusion in what Matter compatible means on a device.

Stallman is fuming rn

A comment on that article says it's more complicated than that. The Air Force Chief of Staff preferred SR over RS and got the speech changed before the president gave it.

Who is this 4chan guy anyway?

I'm disappointed that wasn't a 404.

How should I know?

Exactly. Why add a time unit if it doesn't communicate anything? It produces a year's worth of energy per year, by definition. They could just quote the average power and be done but they tacked on "per year" for no reason.

I just aliased cd to eject the disk drive.

They're just like us.

For real though, fuck Spez.

Not every program or service on your system

Of course not, but plenty do when running a task where the user is unlikely to make inputs and also doesn't want the machine to sleep. Firefox can call org.gnome.SessionManager.Inhibit over dbus with the "video-playing" description, same for VLC. Transmission can call that interface while a transfer is in progress (with a config toggle). It seems a pretty reasonable default for samba to do the same while a long-running file transfer is ongoing.

[Samba] doesn’t copy your files for you.

Sure but it has to know when a transfer is running. It would be nice to have the option to inhibit sleep if the transfer is runs for a significant amount of time.

It's just looking in a sqlite file and listing the jpeg directory. The only extra step is running icacls to let the user read the files.

It should use systemd-inhibit (or whatever the dmesg dbus service is) to tell the system it's busy. How else would the system know?

Is there a /c/theydidthemath anywhere? Good work.

There's no place like ~.

It requires full disk encryption doesn't it? If someone already has access to your account then they can access this data the same way you can. The new issue here is that this silos a load of private data in one easy to grab location. Users would have to set up the filters perfectly to prevent recall capturing anything more sensitive than what's already accessible to their account. This is in a world where many users are probably storing their passwords in a Word document on the desktop.

*Screams in CUDA*

50 GW for 1s is 50GJ. If that's the energy delivered in a year then the average power is 1.584 kW. As long as your power plant lasts a few years or more (and you can actually put that energy onto the grid), the average power is a useful quantity to compare against any other power generation. Saying the average is over a period of a year doesn't express anything about the variability of the power; just like saying your power plant could power a single electric heater running continuously, for a year, a decade or whatever period you like.

Power per unit time is kind of nonsense. It expresses an increase or decrease in power. Energy per unit time is power and is how we typically rate things that make or consume energy.
