I also hate rust, so this is putting all the bad things in one basket. Next step: drop basket.

ChatGPT says all of this is completely possible.

How likely is it that Flock is not already using its network this way?

Don't give them ideas... Now that the market has surfaces a resource, the elites may start looking at wolves blood now - the wolverine stack.

imagine how flock personnel uses flock network every day...AI allows drawing conclusions from mass movement information that can provide information far beyond just someone's location. It is probably possible even to figure out market moves based on movement of groups of people.

This is not just about following any one person, this is about information movement, following a group of people who work on the same project for example to undersrand when they are going towards the same site / goal. This is beyond dangerous.

The best possible plan to get a new generation of Open Source supporters!

Just in the last 24 months, Gulf, Iranian, Ukrainian and Russian cloud DCs have been targeted, including different availability zones of the same cloud vendor. So I think it's time corporates and governments start re-recognising the benefits of on-prem data centres. Yes, the old, distributed office-building DCs: halon fire suppression, lit/dark fibre, AC, cooling, giant boxy UPSs and captive power generation - all that. What makes it better now is that computers have gotten a lot more efficient (e.g., die shrinks, ARM solutions), while compute demands of most core business processes hasn't changed (I consider most AI loads are NOT truly 'keeps the business going' core. More like icing on a cake)

...then implement link security checking on employee PCs.

Honestly, it's not that much more expensive per foot. Also, in a lot of places, the last run isn't super long anyway. And the distance before you hit fiber is shorter and shorter in a lot of cases.

Also, the services are simple. You get a dynamic IP (more if you want a static IP). That's it. No email, TV, phone. Comcast has way more complex infrastructure and that's on them. They also got used to renting equipment and making money on getting dimes and quarters here and there. My fiber installation fee came with a optical to Ethernet terminator (a small box). I own it.

Comcast can get lean and compete on internet alone if they want to, but it's much hard to do versus about "unrealistic" pricing. Cheaper options for more is nice in this era of paying more for nearly everything else.

For businesses, tweaking temperature and increasing HVAC recirculation (i.e cutting down on fresh air) reduces power consumption.

So when the AC air in these building is unusually cold, warm or stale:
- at the doctor's,
- at the mall,
- at the cinema,
- at (God forbid!) the hospital! ...should we think of Voltus and Google?

What is Ellen Zuckerman, head of energy market development for North and South America at Google, doing to mitigate the impact on vulnerable on humans? Does she have constraints applied in her spreadsheet model to avoid this? Or has the accountability headache of managing impact just been passed downward to "Where it belongs!"

Do you reckon this was used in the Venezuelan attack?

Thanks for correcting me. The Slashdot story link I read didn't mention the foot rotting story. Brave guy and good rescue. It may have been better if he took up the initial Russian offer of surrender. It's beyond time to end this senseless war.

You can at least state that foot rotted off story is fiction.

Yes. Think. And the best course of action is to make the 'hacked' board advertise it's hacked state on bootup -- via VGA, blinking board LEDs, and even sound output. Something like, "Warning, my RAM has been hacked." But allow the user to proceed if they accept the risk.

This makes little sense to me. It's not a huge burden to declare you used LLM tools. It is a acknowledgement that the code was generated from tools that have used sources that are not attributed nor provide primary sources for the derivative works they create.

My bias is that all the major LLMs have abused the notion of fair use to an completely unreasonable degree. It's a stretch from allowing academic teaching and research to exist to making all the monies for some tech startups.

It would be different if these tools were indeed freely available for non-commercial and research purposes, but that's literally too expensive to do.

Linux, a project whose success is directly tied to the GPL-2 license and the protections it afforded is now just shrugging it's shoulders and saying why even bother just noting that code came from a tool that inhaled everything out there, because it's useful?

That's just lazy.

Fuck him and the horse he rode on. Fuck his business. Fuck his technology. Fuck his company. Fuck his employees. Fuck his investors. Fuck his government ties. Fuck him defending this shit. Fuck everyone who wants this. Fuck the government for buying into it. Fuck the laws that allow this if they do.
