Comment Compared to? (Score 1) 62

To be fair I just wasted a week tracking down a radio telemetry problem because of a forum post that many people said worked great but it definitely pulled a pin high that was supposed to be low, which shut off an antenna.

Only diving into the spec sheet and some sample embedded code convinced me that the forum post was exactly wrong and after making a simple change to do the opposite did all the telemetry devices mesh up and start reporting correctly.

So ... how does 90% compare to human content?

A wrinkle is that everybody knows humans are flawed and too many people treaty the LLM as omniscient.

Comment $1000/mo (Score 1) 31

Why should anybody care if this drives electric bills up to $1000/mo for the typical household?

We have unlimited energy, no?

Dipshits aren't creating a global energy crisis right now.

The world economy isn't headed for a global depression.

Natgas should be burned for LLM hallucinations and cats driving motorcycles, not converted into fertilizer to stave off a massive African famine.

Western woke governments haven't spent the past fifty years blocking new energy generation at every opportunity.

Right?

Don't invite the guillotines, dudes.

Comment Electric Company (Score 2) 11

Why not notify their electric company to cut their power to halt infringement?

Or their water company so the house is uninhabitable?

The Courts need to recognize that Internet has become a necessary utility and that the music companies need to deal with the individual directly through the Courts, not in a lazy clandestine way.

Grande seems based.

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.

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. :/

Comment Re:Unconstitutional (Score 1) 187

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.

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.

Comment "To keep up with inflation"? (Score 1) 46

Do they only have to state a reason or does somebody have to adjudicate whether that reason is validly "justified"? We have a Public Utilities Commission here that pretends to do such things.

Or is this one of these, "you can't know, so try it and a judge will tell you what the law was" sort of things?

Maybe somebody who understands Italian jurisprudence can clarify their theory of law.
