Really? Why? There is no uncertainty given on the measurement and they only quote it to one significant figure which implies that the uncertainty is at least 0.1 making that 0.3 gap less than 3 sigma from zero. Scientifically speaking that's not clear evidence of anything and signficances less than 3 standard deviations disappear all the time due to missing systematic effects or sometimes are even just statistical fluctuations.

Another week, another climate doom article on /.
Climate change is now so political, and the financial incentives so perverse (grant money depends on you supporting the narrative) that I doubt anyone can know the truth anymore.

I wish, and I would welcome it if they did.

However, as one of the foremost SELinux advocates in its early days, I doubt that the government of all places has the capability to do so. Few sysadmins can configure SELinux halfway decently (i.e. beyond the default policies) and the government (outside the military and secret services) isn't a good tech employer.

Also, MS is far more than the OS. With Office and a bunch of other tools, plus lots of custom software made only for Windows, the entrechnment is really, really deep.

Good flick if you want to get a feel for how Pharma sales work.

I'm surprised it hasn't be Pfbanned yet based on who it highlights.

This is going to be a long thread of Anti-EV zealots, especially those that didn't read the original article.

The biggest problem they are facing is that there's a lot of vehicles that aren't delivered yet, and they fight for the charging spots, while in some areas there are plenty.

Also, having a fleet of 100.000+ EV's is not easy to manage both charge-time wise and available spots. Amazon has insisted that the power delivered must be from solar power and the power company has to guarantee that as well.

Personally I think they could solve it by doing what IKEA did, they went entirely Solar for all their warehouses some years ago, and produced way more power than they use themselves. But Amazon purchases their solar electricity for now, mostly.

They also have an issue with EV's not being delivered to them in a timely matter, afaik - these vehicles (according to the article) are special built for Amazon, and only 13K of them in one area has been delivered so far, so it's not a clear cut case for them.

TL:DR; your personal or peoples preferences for EV's has nothing to do with your use case for a personal EV or whether you need one or not, this is a HUGE scale that has various issues such as production, delivery, issues with those agreements on a large scale.

Ev's may or may not fit your daily routines or economy, personally I don't think anyone should be forced to buy an EV, I have one myself, but it fits my lifestyle, travel distance, and I got it cheap (20K) so for me it's great. But it's not fun for people who have a long distance to travel to work, few charging spots, can't charge at home and have to pay 60K and upwards for one, that's not good at all.

It is critical to know the inner reasoning in order to determine whether something understands. A parrot can speak but I do not think anyone believes that it understands what it is saying.

If you understand the concepts behind the words rather than the pattern the words make then you can use logical reasoning to determine new information. An AI trained on word patterns cannot do this and so, faced with a new situation has no clue how to respond and is far more likely to get things wrong. This is why ChatGPT performs so poorly on even simple, first-year university physics questions when asked to explain observations or results...and this is with situations that are known and have happened before. Being able to take concepts and using them to logically extrapolate what will happen in different situations is a key hallmark of intelligence and that is something that current AI simply cannot do.

The point _was_ made: "constant rate" means that the rate of expansion remains the same with time. What you are talking about is a _common_ rate of expansion. The summary says that they are considering variations in the rate as a function of position but, by saying that the rate is constant that inplies that it does not vary with time and that is wrong: we know from multiple supernova studies that the expansion is accelerating. This even gave is a new possible "end of the universe" scenario: the "big rip" where in the incredibly distant future if the expansion keeps accelerating then possibly at somepoint the causally connected region of the universe might shrink to the planck scale at which point space-time itself will become impossible although this is all highly hypothetical since we do not understand what is driving the expansion.

Then we would know because while the universe refuses to define a common zero for velocity (velocity is relative), it absolutely does define a common zero acceleration.

It's already known that the expansion seems to be accelerating. Several supernova studies all point to an accelerating expansion likely driven by Dark Energy but, regardless of the cause, we already know the expansion rate is not a constant.

They always rant about Wayland, systemd, Pulse/Pipewire, devops, dkms, quic, zfs, etc.

I used to wonder why they don't just not upgrade their os, but then I realized they are lazy and want somebody else to maintain their old system for them.

I mean, even compiling gentoo with the right use set is too hard for these bellyachers.

Yet the humility never occurs to them that the non-lazy people who actually build distros are embracing the newer technology.

Instead the Old Farts case aspersions and ad-hominems at these hard workers. It's pathetic.

I'm done with their BS and won't help them understand anymore - the arguments are almost universally in bad faith.

Because otherwise they would just not upgrade. I have some Infomagic Slackware CD's from 1993 they might be interested in. Yeah, my first Linux box was over 30 years ago and I competently run all those technologies now. I don't fear change even though understanding new tech takes work and I can't just rest on my laurels.

I suspect that for anything that still needs it you can use an FPGA implementation of the Z80.

I was thinking the same as, but I RFAd and read the case. Under Rodriguez v. United States, 575 U.S. 348 (2015), the Court ruled that a search warrant was required. However, he was a parolee, and as a part of his parole, he was subject to warrantless searches. His condition of parole included :

"You shall surrender any digital/electronic device and provide a pass key/code to unlock the device to any law enforcement officer for inspection other than what is visible on the display screen.

This includes any digital/electronic device in your vicinity. Failure to comply can result in your arrest pending further investigation and/or confiscation of any device pending investigation.

Ok.

Tell me then how I will run No Mans sky on Quest 3 via Linux, 120 FPS via Virtual Desktop wirelessly and flawlessly. I'd like to see that work.
If you can in bullet points tell me exactly how to achieve that, it will be worth a try, as I said first I have been running Linux since 1998, and I'm no stranger to it so stop with the personal attacks already, judging from your member number here, you're too old for that kind of stuff.

So go ahead, if you still have the energy, see if you can cough up some real useable instructionables how to achieve that, or just let me live my life the way I like it.
I would LOVE to hear how to - without too much stress, I don't have hours left of my life to work for weeks to get that tuned in unless it's easy.

I suspect this is the case for many.

And that's my point.

There's always a "but..."

And that but seems to hit me more often than the exception.
Everything has to run - period.
