But the DOW! Think of the DOW!

Yeah probably, but I think consumer hacks slash microchip companies might buy them and retrofit them to be GPU’s. If most of them are not just sold to the public, I suspect that nVIDIA et al might buy them back from business customers, and then modify them to re-sell to consumers.

Perhaps its a lot to ask, but could you share some of the people profiles?

Totally agree. It’s no where near the level of a dick pic - a dick pic is sexual harassment.

Duke3D - would recommend eduke32 port. The High-Resolution Pack is quite nice, butperhaps some prefer the retro feel of sprites.

My friend is a Venezuelan who came to Canada with his family to specifically escape Maduro’s rule: his family owned a small farm in Venezuela that was extorted mafia-style by thugs that the Maduro government allowed or at least did nothing about (all of this is his words).

Not surprising, he and his friends are very happy that Maduro was taken down.

Tweaking in what sense? Like just default search engines and such, or is it about:config settings?

I’m just curious.

Me neither! Looks like I’m adding another service to my repertoire

Passive or Active Ventilation. The idea is to encourage air to pass through the home, which helps with removing heat from inside. Passive Ventilation would be opening windows, using wind catchers, etc. This depends on the design of your home, among other things that you probably don’t really have control over. Active ventilation is the same idea, but you use strategically placed fans to induce good airflow. For example, if you have two windows that are opposite to each other, you can place a fan at one window to intake air, and a fan at the other window as exhaust.

Omg thats hilarious.

Hahaha

It works very well for me. My evidence that it is private is that I download plenty (more than 1 TB per month) and I never get a copyright notice from my ISP. When I torrent non-privately I get plenty of copyright notices, sometimes several times for the same torrent.

It does have, however, some major performance issues. It can be very slow, and it can use up a lot of RAM and a lot of CPU. Its internal database, which saves state of downloads, frequently gets corrupted at which point it has to be re-generated, meaning the list of torrents (not the downloads) is lost. It can be quite a bit slower than other torrent downloaders, and sometimes torrents stall for a while as it waits to prepare the network, especially at start-up.

It’s been getting a lot better though with every update, which is quite frequent.

Not making sure the result even makes sense. There was a real example, where a ~2010 news article said that the number of crimes in their city has been doubling every year since ~1980.

That is not possible. Assume that there was one crime in 1980. In 2010, there must be at least 2^20 crimes.

I would love that here

Omg youre the expert I am looking for! I would like to DIY an internet router that can communicate with whales.

Keep in mind that tapes are still the most efficient storage medium, in terms of both cost and physical space used. What they lack is speed. These characteristics make them the perfect medium for archiving and backup.

To add: there’s no way money can be saved by switching to another medium. Switching to HDDs, SSDs, etc will be many times more expensive, and switching to cloud would be much more expensive over the long run. It’s unclear whether he wants to move existing data to other mediums (very expensive and stupid - the tapes are already there and have almost no upkeep) or just new data (slightly less stupid).

Generated AI CP should be illegalized even if its creation did not technically harm anyone. The reason is, presumably it looks too close to real CP, so close that it: 1) normalizes consumption of CP, 2) grows a market for CP, and 3) Real CP could get off the hook by claiming it is AI.

While there are similar reasons to be against clearly not real CP (e.g. hentai), this type at least does not have problem #3. For example, there doesnt need to be an investigation into whether a picture is real or not.

Shawshank reference?

Weird that they said “only” half an hour. Thats a really long time

The connection also looks like a RAM stick’s. I think.

This is irrelevant because Meta should not be tried for this the same as a private individual would be.

The case for torrenting being illegal for private individuals is one or both of:

1. Downloading in of itself is stealing.
2. Uploading is giving unauthorized access to someone else who otherwise might have had a harder time finding it. Anything else, such as watching, reading, listening, learning, etc. is not illegal (or does not make sense to make illegal). The exception might be publishing. This is rare for private individuals (e.g. using pirated FL studio to make a commercial song).

For corporations, a lot change. Firstly, a corporation downloading a torrent is necessarily making unauthorized material available for some people of the company. It’s like a group of 20 friends all downloaded and uploaded to each other. Secondly, they used this copyrighted material commercially (like playing pirated music in a public night club). Both should be illegal.

However, all of this is still a distraction. The real issue is using copyrighted materials to train commercial AI. Does Meta require permission from copyright holders to make AI based on their work? The law is grey on this, and desperately needs regulations.

Just my thoughts.
