If only the people crying about the imminent doom of climate change weren't exactly the same group that INSISTED we abandon nuclear 45y ago.

Consider a human analogy: In many cases, people give financial advisors access to one or more of their accounts so that the advisor can make trades or other transactions for the benefit of their clients. However, if an advisor suddenly starts making transactions that do not benefit the clients or are contrary to their agreed instructions, then that activity is unauthorized, even if they have login credentials.

That's often the thermal paste drying out. Clean the fan, repaste the chip, good for a few more years.

Usually.

A recent psychology study suggests that heavy AI users can improve productivity and lose the ability to focus at the same time.

Forgetting which list is in the To: could be an example of diminished focus.

Pure spec.

The *exact* same idea with the *exact* same complaints from the Left, the UCS, all the progressive crybabies...can reasonably be seen as having ended the Soviet Union by ramming it financially into its own contradictions.
Is that ACTUALLY what you guys at the Paul Robeson bookstore are all still salty about? That the guys you insisted all along were the "good guys" turned out not to be?

Anyway, the idea that defense = escalation hasn't been a thing since MAD was largely abandoned in the 1990s. Welcome to the post cold-war era, comrade.

...and it is genuinely an efficiency gain: now I can completely avoid 2 shit product families from only 1 vendor.

That's great!

I am going to make a dangerous assumption and assume that does not mean "we think we should use the written word to train our LLM" as that isn't actually anything that requires consensus. So presumably, the "team" discussion was about how to acquire said books. That the "consensus" answer was "through shadow libraries" sounds an awful lot like "conspiracy to commit commercial copyright infringement" and appears to be a rather shortsighted argument to be making.

Wait, "some other company" can replace Falcon in "a few years" but everyone is "20 years behind" a design that has only been under active development since late 2018? Your math ain't mathing, dude.

"The US is escalating"?
That's a rather specious viewpoint, isn't it? Or did you intend to lie by omission?

The Soviets/Russians have had space based weapons platforms in orbit since the 1960s
The Chinese have had weapons aloft for at least 10y.
Honestly, if the US *doesn't* have functional, effective orbital weapons already up there, they're fucking incompetent.

And, if investors don't like it, they can walk away, can't they?
Isn't that how the free market works? Convince people to invest in you, great. If you're an asshole or do stupid things, they take their $ away.

Look, I get it, slashdot despises Musk for many, many things (some even have to do with actual business or technology). But this is up to investors and their choices.

SpaceX IPO $160 today $162. Not really compelling unless one believes in their mission.
Tesla 1y was $442, now is $385. Not very compelling.
 

Looks like both bookworm and trixie are fixed as of about 3am UTC last night.

Sync your mirrors if it's off cycle. Luckily mine sync around 9am, hopefully the buildbots were busy..

For bookworm you need 8.2.35-1~deb12u1 .

Thank you, Guilhem.

Oh, did they have a warrant signed by a judge?

Illegal searches can be resisted.

Of course you risk being murdered for your rights.

Which appears to be the cost now.

They shouldn't want us to know that; bad chess.

They've gone from being infamous for offering no support to pretending to offer support?

I guess it will help people who haven't yet tried everything on their own before they figure out there is no support.

Happy to be proven wrong and learn that the chatbots are empowered to fix things.

They did things like this at the end of Rome.

P.T. Barnumus.

They can easily be downloading and using it locally/airgapped to get an open weights and measures system.

But that's the problem - an organization as big as the DC regime needs to control what its agents think to maintain discipline.

Marc Andreesen spoke about this when the Biden admin told him to not invest in AI startups because they wouldn't be allowed.

Controlling the Big Three is much more manageable but with hundreds you can't maintain an effective hivemind.

What's good for the country isn't usually what's good for the government.
