They don't know why the ozone hole is big this year but they suspect it may be related to a volcanic eruption. Article concludes that scientists expect the ozone layer to be back to normal by 2050.
The suggestion is that this is an unusual year for the ozone layer which sees the hole expand this time every year before retracting again by December. They never suggest human behavior is damaging it again.
TLDR: Ubuntu Pro offers additional security patches to packages found in the universe repo. Universe is community maintained so Ubuntu is essentially stepping in to provide critical CVE patches to some popular software in this repo that the community has not addressed.
I suppose it depends on how you look at it but I don't really see this as withholding patches. Software in this repo would otherwise be missing these patches and it's a ton of work for Ubuntu to provide these patches themselves.
Now is they move glibc to universe and tell me to subscribe to get updates I'll feel differently.
If you think it might help I've got a bit of a hack I've used in the past to cache a sql database in a compressed ramdisk using zram and bcache. Imagine stuffing a 50G DB into 20G of memory.
It won't fix the inefficient SQL queries but it would make it so frequently accessed tables get cached in a ram disk cutting query time significantly.
This might be enough to reduce the impact of these attacks until queries can be optimized.
This assumes your database isn't running on something like RDS though.
I don't think it's as unpopular as you think it is. The internet skews perceptions.
This bot is terrible and I wish it would be banned. It's basically just randomly selects snippets and it leaves out very important details.
The actual article says that the concentrations are very low and they don't even know if the manufacturer is intentionally putting them there or if they're finding their way in from other sources during manufacture. Also says the bamboo straws may have been grown in soil containing PFAS.
They even found PFAS on most of the glass straws.
It's concerning sure but the levels are so low that straws are the least of our concern when it comes to PFAS exposure.
Since nobody have a serious reply, two parts are mentioned in the article, a turbine blade and a turbine nozzle.
I'm really excited for this. If it lives up to the hype I think it could become the defacto filesystem some day.
BTRFS, despite being a great filesystem, got a bad rep mostly due to its poor RAID5/6 implementation. It also lags behind in performance in many configurations and has been mostly relagated to a specialty filesystem. While it could make a great root filesystem few distros have adopted it as such.
ZFS has been similarly pigeon holed. It's typically only used for building large arrays because it's not very safe when used on a single device (edit: After some research this may not be true and is probably outdated or incorrect info stuck in my head) . It also lacks a lot of the flexibility of BTRFS, though you could say it trades flexibility for reliability.
bcachesfs on the other hand feels like it has the potential to be adopted as a root file system while also providing replication, erasure coding, high performance and snapshots; something that no filesystem has managed to date, at least on a wide scale.
Silicone wiper blades last many years and don't crack. They're about twice the cost of traditional but worth it in the long run.
My current set is from 2018.
When you buy something from a streaming service you're only buying the right to stream it, nothing more.
You can't compare it to owning physical media because there are ongoing costs involved for Amazon to host it and ever changing contracts with media companies outlining what they are allowed to host.
I don't know what provoked the OP's comment. I just wanted to add context because I personally made a lot of bad assumptions from it before reading the article.
Also I don't know that your statement is accurate and global warming is never brought up in the article.
I love how the OP said Ford never took a bailout, you reply confirming that, and OP gets downvoted into oblivion.
Right, the fact that they dug up their addresses and posted them is the disturbing part. The article, particularly the headline, is misleading.
Vanilla bean is one. A lot of the people who produce it don't really understand why we want it.
Nobody is coming after you, don't worry about it. If they were really determined? Maybe, possibly, depending on many factors but you're a very small fish in a very big pond.
I've had two Dell laptops that ran Ubuntu perfectly. Dell sells laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed and also certifies models for Linux. Their Linux support is top notch in my experience.
I concur and it just gets worse the more hardware you have in them. 256G of memory and 24 disks? Might as well go have lunch while it boots.
Tick bites can cause it. Something about your body building immunity to a protein transferred by the tick that closely matches those found in beef or something like that.
What you described is already done with ICE vehicles. Engines and transmissions are rebuilt all the time. Even cars that are totaled are typically given a second life.
Ultimately it's the vehicle's body and frame that determine when it's at the end of it's life. You're not going to put a new battery in a tesla with a rusted out frame.
Arguably the lifespan could be worse for EVs since replacing the batteries is so expensive (more than a typical engine rebuild) that many probably won't be willing to put that much money into an old vehicle.
Voluntary recalls are actually more common than ordered recalls. Manufacturers usually don't wait for the NHTSA to get involved.
What makes it a recall is that either the manufacturer or the NHTSA determine that there's a safety defect or that the vehicle doesn't confirm to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
So I believe the terminology is required by the NHTSA if it fits the above definition regardless of how the issue is addressed.
Of course this is for the US and this is a recall in China but I'm assuming similar legal requirements are involved.
This is an article about unlearning data, not about not consuming it in the first place.
LLM's are not storing learned data in it's raw, original form. They are injesting it and building an understanding of language based off of it.
Attempting to peel out that knowledge would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible because there's really no way to identify it.
I wish communities would start banning that bot. It's summaries are mostly awful, typically missing critical details in an article to the point of completely altering itsintent.
This example is particularly egregious though, I think it had a stroke.
True. They could close it off to the public at any time and only offer a subscription service.
However, they are probably afraid to do that for fear that they will lose out to competitors. Offering the service for free was the key to their popularity and bringing AI technology into the hands the average users. If they cut that off, someone else will quickly take their place.
I don't believe it's been marked stable yet but it doesn't suffer from the raid write hole like BTRFS and claims to be more performant than ZFS's implementation.
With it being merged into the kernel it should get much wider use and hopefully that helps it reach stability.
Well they wouldn't so they'd end up having to setup a payment plan with the IRS but that would still be better than the debt load. I'd rather owe 20k to the IRS than 100K in fed loans. At the end of the day it's all money owed to Uncle Sam.
Personally though, I wouldn't bank on IBR, I'd much rather consolidate my loans privately at a better rate and pay them off as quick as possible rather than pay a high interest rate to the fed in hopes that they forgive it one day. I understand that's not an option for everyone though and some value the risk/reward differently.
They're the same drug....
Now this is one of the features I want a button or knob for. Go ahead and bury all the advanced features in touchscreen menus but please don't do that for the basic things I regularly use while driving like temperature, fan, volume, and seek.
Where does all of the anti hydrogen rhetoric come from? Hydrogen has its issues for sure but so does electric. Hydrogen has advantages to electric, namely range and refueling time, which may make it a better choice, at least for certain applications.
What's so horrible about Toyota investing in it? At least someone is giving it a shot and they actually have a production automobile that uses it.
Here we are going all in on electric with a grid that can't support it, charging times that are too slow, driving range that's too low and housing that can't accommodate it but hydrogen is somehow a crazy idea?
I have a duel fuel system (heat pump + gas furnace) which, while more expensive, is really the best of both worlds.
In a power outage I can plug in a generator and get the furnace running.
If temps drop too low and the heat pump is struggling I can switch to the furnace.
I can choose which to run based on current energy costs.
When looking into heat pumps everyone told me they don't work well in the northeast or they would be more expensive to run here. I found it really difficult to get an accurate estimate of the cost difference between running a heat pump vs a gas furnace. Ultimately I decided to go dual fuel for flexibility but after comparing my bills before and after I almost wish I'd gone with a hyper heat unit so it could run at lower outdoor temps because the heat pump has turned out to be cheaper but I can't run it at low temps.
I think HVAC techs in this area are weary of them based on past experience with older units but they really have improved in recent years.
If it's the report I think they're referring to, it basically said Aspartame is possibly carcinogenic but safe at normal consumption levels.
It raised a lot of doubt around Aspartame being carcinogenic without going so far as to deem it non carcinogenic, concluding that more studies are needed.
I wouldn't call it overwhelmingly positive for Coke but it's not hurting them.
Yes and that's why I said 8 billion and not 80, I accounted for the fact that this was one year worth of work.
I have this which is $113 right now and I think you can catch it for a bit cheaper sometimes. Of course you have to factor in installation costs if you're not comfortable installing it yourself.
It's great though because it makes it easy to use filtered water even for tea, coffee, cooking etc since it's right at hand at the sink.
People in the US typically only take domestic flights between major cities and usually only if they are traveling a long distance (across multiple states).
One reason for this is because you usually have to rent a car when you reach your destination anyway. So if you fly two states away to visit family, land in the closest city to where they live, now you have to rent a car at the airport and drive a couple of hours to their house. You've now paid for a flight and a car rental and you probably could have gotten there cheaper and just as quickly, if not faster, if you drove.
Office buildings are designed to be remodeled. Just about every time a new company comes in they remodel the space to fit their needs. This includes adding/removing kitchens, bathrooms, server rooms, lighting, HVAC etc...
Sure, you're going to have to run a whole lot more plumbing for residential, maybe you even need a larger connection to the sewer but you're already doing a full tear out, these things are inconsequential.
Somehow I'm supposed to believe it's cheaper to build out from scratch rather than repurpose an existing structure? It makes no sense.
They pulled it. Google didn't.
Honestly this is probably me going off of outdated or even incorrect information. The fact that it has little adoption for that use case or as a root filesystem is probably the larger factor.
It's been awesome to see Ubuntu embrace it over the last few releases though and that's certainly starting to change things but since it's not part of the Linux kernel that gives most other distros pause I think.
They're taking a whack-a-mole approach for sure but it's either that or shut the whole instance down. I imagine their hope is that either the bad guys give up/lose interest or that it buys them some time.
Either way, it shows they are taking action which ultimately should help limit their liability.
We never even warmed bottles. Some people were shocked to see us pull a bottle straight out of the fridge and give it to our daughter but I didn't see any reason to warm them when she was perfectly happy with cold milk. I'd rather not have to worry about overheating it or having to lug around a bottle warmer when traveling.
I do like the monitor though but it's more of a convenience and piece of mind thing than a necessity. Being able to see her means we know if that big thud was her kicking the wall vs falling out of her crib without getting up and running into the room. We almost always keep the volume muted though, it's a small house and we can can hear her just fine except for if we're both outside.
The advice I give other parents is to not buy anything but the absolute basics until you really need it because a lot of things you think you'll need you probably don't.
Yea you could really pay a lot depending on how many channels you subscribed to and especially if you had premium channels like HBO or Starz.
I'm sure we'll get there though.
The fall of newspapers led us down the path of click bait, low quality, ad driven "news". Very few newspapers survived the transition to digital because suddenly nobody wanted to pay for access to something they could get online for free. Those that did survive mostly exist in a much smaller form with low funding and reduced quality.
Personally, I'm excited to see it becoming more common for people to subscribe to news services again. I just wish there was more diversity and competition available like there was in the past but I'm hopeful we'll get there as more people seem to be opening back up to paying for high quality publications.
High quality journalism can't exist without paid subscribers but there are still ways to access it for those who can't afford it, visiting a local library for example.
