You mean the people on site are incapable of noticing there's a problem?

Not sure that's how you want to be framing this.

Pro-Kremlin bloggers are warning that Russia's centralized digital economy could collapse

While out working around the yard, this exact thought came to me. When you have a centralized economy, such as in Russia with Putin calling all the shots, any large scale interruption to any part of that centralization will have an outside effect. As this article relates, Yandex has its paws in everything. And what happens when Yandex goes down?

This entire invasion has been a fiasco on the Russian side from day one. I was truly astounded at how inept they were in the first month of their invasion, and that astounding has only increased over the past four years. A German officer wrote a book and toward the back of the book he outlined several things the Germans learned very quickly about Russian military doctrine. One of those items was that they would repeatedly throw men at the problem unitl either they succeeded or they exhausted their pool of men.

That was 80+ years ago and they still haven't changed. They learned nothing over the decades and this data center pummeling is another example of them not being able to think more than a day ahead.

For as much as I enjoyed both movies, having another one set 50 years after the last is going down the Star Wars path. Just because you think you can continue the story doesn't mean you should.

It's done, it's over. Let it be.

All they had to do was use black spray paint over the lens. Come up from behind the camera so no face can be seen and have plausible deniability.

Windows? Even DOS had a RAM doubler. lol.

Why would I buy compressed RAM when I can just download a RAM doubler? lol.... Welcome time travelers to the 1990s?

This is Texas. The last thing they want is to have the public nosing around and holding government accountable.

Is this going to bring about some performance optimization, or is it just someone saying, "hey, my teacher/boss/whatever told me that Rust is cool, and I drank the koolaid!"

If I slap a GPS tracker on every police vehicle, is that legal? If it's not, why is it legal in reverse? Do as I say, not as I do? lol...

Even if he used a modern smartphone, doesn't that now use AI for image processing? lol...

GPT-6 Astra, however, did eventually learn to navigate the course and complete it. But not without a lot of troubleshooting.

No different than when people first learn to drive. Beween learning how to shift gears while not stalling the car, how much to accelerate, how much to turn the steering wheel, when to turn the steering, and so on, people first learning to drive require a lot of troubleshooting. Each time improves the quality of driving (you hope).

Someone needs to justify their existence.

Not a problem. I'll get my kiwis from the guy down in the street near the Canadian border.

I get what you're saying, but in this age modern logistics allows us to get fruit from anywhere in the world at almost any time of the year. If we only bought local there would be vast empty spaces at the grocery store and our choices would be limited.

Unlike all the humans who do the same thing, right? They're just going through the doors people left open.

Like Aaron Schwartz who went somewhere he shouldn't have been, installed equipment in the location he had no right to be in, then tried to hide his activities. Explain how that is any different than what these agents are doing.

Last I checked, Iran isn't the one committing genocide.
