Comment Sure, way up north maybe (Score 4, Interesting) 281

Do what you want way up there. The swing between summer and winter amount of sunlight is drastic. However, down here? The change makes it much worse. It takes months just to get back to baseline after the clocks change. I just donâ(TM)t care, either pick one or just move the clocks 30 minutes one last time and keep it there. why has no one thought of this? Did the Canadiens study that? Move the clocks by 30 minutes and keep them there.

Nowhere did I blame renewables. I was replying to someone talking about the huge price spikes pointing out that they applied to people lucky enough to have power.

We were out 5 and a half days for the derecho. We were in a hotel out in Sealey.

We had a generator for Beryl, but hadn't had it wired into the house yet. We had a lot of extension cords.

Later, I got the inlet and subpanel wired in. We ended up powering the house on gasoline pretty regularly without any named storms until we moved away from Houston.

*** for customers who can still receive power.

During the freeze in 2021 or so, we had rolling blackouts. Myhouse was without power for 26 hours, 14 hours, 11 hours, 5 hours, 5 hours, 7 hours, 3 hours, 1.5 hours, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and 12 minutes or so that week.

Oh ho ho⦠you sweet summer child. Daaaaw, look at you with your little APIâ(TM)s, a few desktops, a server thinking this. Itâ(TM)s just so⦠so KYOOOOOT! You. Are. Adorbs.

Pro tip tho? Try working for a very big organization and understanding that delivered software such as this isnâ(TM)t going anywhere anytime soon, and is definitely not obsolete.

There is a lot of BS on slashdot these days so itâ(TM)s awfully nice to see a post like this every once in a while. Good on you both.

As a sidenote, I love strange new worlds as well. I donâ(TM)t understand anybody saying they didnâ(TM)t like it. Didnâ(TM)t give a cent to Paramount for any of it eitherâ¦

Submission + - Mozilla Thunderbolt is an open-source AI client focused on control and self-host (nerds.xyz)

BrianFagioli writes: Mozillaâ(TM)s email subsidiary MZLA Technologies just introduced Thunderbolt, an open-source AI client aimed at organizations that want to run AI on their own infrastructure instead of relying entirely on cloud services. The idea is to give companies full control over their data, models, and workflows while still offering things like chat, research tools, automation, and integration with enterprise systems through the Haystack AI framework. Native apps are planned for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Personally, I like the self-hosted concept, but the name âoeThunderboltâ feels like a miss since there are already a ton of unrelated tech products using that name.

He was fired from Y Combinator and the people at his start up, Loopt, ask the board to fire him because of his chaotic and deceptive behavior.

The guy is a disgusting, lying, cheating, sociopath who couldnâ(TM)t run a company if Reebok gave him all their shoes.
