Yeah, Via made a clone that was similar not-quite-i586 fairly recently too.

I have an old embedded box with one that has SATA 6Gbps ports on it that I thought I would use zeroing out old hard drives.

I tried Puppy, DSL, SystemRescueCD, and a bunch of others and none would finish boot. FreeDOS is fine.

It's either eWaste or I need to dig out an Infomagic CD from the attic to get Redhat 9 pr whatever. Probably need to look up when the jump from 3 to 6 happened in SATA land.

But Linus is correct that actual distros don't supoort it. There's one project for composing embedded images that I might try before it hits a shredder. Or NetBSD maybe.

The AI editors and AI "fact checkers" will have been coded by the same people (or, eventually, the same stupid AI programming code) and trained on the same data and will therefore not SPOT the errors, not require the retractions, and almost certainly "fact check" the errors as "true", thereby becoming the obstruction to actual humans correcting things.

AI is likely to produce a new world in which people can believe NOTHING in electronic format, and they need to return to being trustworthy and honest and getting information, and doing transactions, on a handshake with a trusted human, face-to-face.

Congrats to all you people working on stupid large language models and lying to everybody by mis-representing this form of "AI" to the general public as though it were Artificial General Intelligence. You are on the cusp of destroying modernity and forcing society to step backwards 80 years or so. Those of us who worked to bring about the computer revolution INTENDED to build a bright future where computers made everything better, faster, more-efficient, more factual, etc but you are in the process of flushing it all down the giant cosmic toilet. Oh, and before you ask: NO, no additional algorithm can fix this. Algorithms cannot fix human nature, and human nature defaults to abusing every new technology. The current generation of AI is the most-powerful yet least-understood-by-the-public tech to come along. It's already mis-leading people by the millions - just look at the MOUNTAINS of AI slop ruining the YouTube experience already. It only gets worse from here...

We need new drugs for cancer, diabetes, vascular problems, liver problems, rebuilding nerves, destroying proteins and collagens that build up in eyes and blind people, etc. and we have a bunch of drug researchers who are, instead, working to supply a bunch of new (almost certainly addictive) mind-altering drugs to keep people with addictive personalities properly numb?!?

Sheer madness. Probably driven by cash - people will ALWAYS pay for a "high", and some will pay any price to any low-life vendor to live a strung-out life. We'd be better off to create some gated communities and tell people who want to get high to go there and do all the drugs they want within the gates, as long as they never leave without being "clean". Then just legalize all the tried-and-true mind benders for use in those places. Have at it folks! cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, lsd, whatever you want... you just cannot leave and hurt innocent people.

We need drug researchers to be working on serious medications for people with actual serious medical conditions.

Sorry for the rant, but the longer you live, the more decent people you will have known who suffered (and often died) for lack of help with actual serious medical conditions. I no longer am able to muster an ounce of sympathy for anybody who just wants to destroy a few brain cells over a weekend for recreation, and little patience for anybody dedicated to helping them.

you want human beings to ever be anything more than scurrying about on Earth becoming gradually better at killing each other until they eventually succeed or the sun burns out (your choice).

Here's the thing: ANY human voyage to any other place in the universe will be vastly more difficult and dangerous and require more time away from Terra Firma. Therefore, the Moon is a perfect place to learn what we need to learn, and to practice (and get good at) the things we will need to be excellent at in order to manage ANY further exploration. If we cannot get the toilet right on a lunar mission, then any other space destination is right out. We could learn all the same lessons with a destination like Mars, BUT that would be vastly more expensive, and take a huge amount of additional time (each flight would take months vs days, and the launch windows are years apart rather than weeks apart). This is what even Elon Musk has recently surrendered to. When we have mastered the regular lunar flights with sustained time on the lunar surface, we will finally know how to learn to do Mars without going bankrupt and killing lots of crews.

Aside from it just being a scientific research project, in practice even if they were produced in combination it's almost certain that they would be refined and purified for medicinal use.

But it would be much easier to not have to separate them and do one molecule per plant/field.

That aside your monoamine oxidase would prevent all but the psylocin from being orally active. Maaybe if the tobacco were very carefully dried and not fermented you could smoke it.

Now if they were to engineer in some harmaline/telepathine and put it into a tomato you could make some very special marinara sauce. The acids would act like a 'lemon-tec' and heating could perhaps be doing some decarboxalating. I have no idea if people experiment with mushrooms and ayahuasca simultaneously.

I can't wait for the Epstein Class to start raiding pasta shops to protect their black markets. :/

In New Hampshire people have, in RADAR cases, been able to subpoena the operators, the calibrators, the calibration certificates, and the source code, on these bases.

The judge allows it, the prosecution drops the case.

One strategy is to demand a trial on every small fine to tilt the economics in favor of liberty.

Follow the money.

This stinks of sabotage inflicted by unethically motivated actors.

Presuming they're not just incredible fools, which we ought not assume.

As you can imagine I am 100% against communism and any form of socialism. Bezos and everyone else must have property rights not hindered by government, it is his business to run (or his board) and government must not be in position to dictate how any company hires and fires people, who they hire and fire, why, etc.

I fully expect Amazon to close this warehouse, maybe it will be contaminated with something radioactive for example, to make things easier and then it will shut down. Personally I root for the anarcho capitalist solution and wish Amazon to win this battle for its private property rights.

That's because people willing to pay to take a toll road to save speed can always avoid said toll road if they actually have to follow the speed limit on it. That eliminates the revenue the toll road gets, costing them money.
Florida had this situation with a new toll road that runs parallel to the highway around Orlando. Cops were running speed traps there. They were quickly banned because they noted it was killing the number of people taking the road, costing them far more in revenue.

Perhaps, but camera systems without the officer don't actually issue "tickets" that carry points. They issue "citations" that show up nowhere if paid.

To paraphrase a general, by ensuring they do die for their cause, and we don't.
Our job isn't to die for our country, but to make them die for theirs.

That said, it's expensive and hard, and best avoided when possible.

Nah, AWS provides logistics to military and intelligence and has for quite a while.

It's tough to argue, "these aren't military targets, we just rent the equipment and provide services to the military for hundreds of billions of dollars."

Which is probably what people will argue.

social engineering used in practice by the parent comment, now sitting at +4 Funny. Still waiting for that 1 autistic moderator.
