No, I did not. You have no idea what I read.

and it seems this is happening when Claude Desktop is installed.

Or, to put it another way, Anthropic build Claude Desktop to do this.

My Chrome does not seem to have done this on a Windows machine. No sign of the weights.bin file, and I do not have Claude-anything installed.

I'm thinking this is not a Chrome problem, it's an Anthropic problem.

Prove me wrong. Validate my sig.

My programming brother has worked a lot with both Z Series and POWER, and would tell you the advantages of one over the other is the $ for your particular situation. He would work with either (or both in one instance) and not notice enough difference, for comparable configurations, to drive the choice.

Don't get him started on VMWare though. He loves it right up to when something really unfortunate (*cough* updates) happens, and you didn't buy every.single.option... They can hold their hands out and say 'we told ya'.

Then again, he says all that about SAP also. He says nothing 'big' has ever saved him from disaster other than IBM. He's a little prejudiced, starting on PDP-11 but quickly making a living on S/3x, AS/400, and Z, now 'mystery cloud' platforms, as he calls them all.

Dang, I wish I could run ReactOS on a Raspberry...

Nope. I lack the skills to port it to ARM64

"flout the law"

They disregarded the rights of authors etc. to be compensated for their work. The Law just identified the transgressions.

You can be sure if I or you shared Meta's source code and built a site with it we would be pursued to the ends of the Earth.

Hypocrisy, and yes just one practitioner. Get caught, pay up.

I approach this the same way I approached the Martha Stewart insider trading scandal. It's not that she made a few bucks, or avoided losing some, but, but, some other schlub suffered the losses. She owed them. Prison time was just the State failing to also compensate the real victims.

Let Zuck pay a meaningful price. Or just go on...

Ah, that's right. Because I resent my cell provider, every interest group I have even a minimal interest in, some store I bought something from, oh, wait, I just browsed their site, every other whatever I've encountered on the Web, pushing me to load their app.

All so they can track my activity on their site more easily, track whatever else I do, where I've been, other sites/interests/exposure to anything else I've encountered.

Don't be so naive as to think the current Administration is unique in this. Past Administrations have done it. And there's no reason to believe they were any more ethical, competent, or secure. Unless you're of the sort that believes your heroes are without serious flaws, and the opposition is without redemption. You are to be pitied.

Disappointed I am. Surprised not am I.

PS - 5/4 is Dave Brubeck Day.

We can now study a real-life three body problem.

Assuming these observations are, in fact, accurate. It's a long ways away, after all,

"I mean for fuck sakes here in America we won't feed hungry children. We say it builds character."

You are a disgusting human being. Please go slander elsewhere.

I'm still keying in programs for HP calculators. The 12c has a Moon Lander script running, and I suck as a pilot. Still.

'this?'

By this, you mean /.? For at least a third of /. race is the preferred tool to attempt to discredit, demean, or dismiss your apparent adversaries.

I expected better from a 6-digit, but hey,

I remember when Reddit wasn't Reddit. When dialogue was often intended to reach understanding.

Not the only motivation, but the various interests promoting limits on 3D printing all have similar goals.

"but how much gets deducted from people's supply"

If you're not going to be serious, good bye. That's not how it works, and you should know better.

The 'buy the old mill building' is an old strategy, throughout New England. Many different industries have done this. And many got tax incentives. Nothing new here, and the resentment towards the new interloper isn't new either. Discount power isn't new either. One wrinkle in this is the separation of generation v distribution. Distribution costs to residences are often higher per kilowatt, while baseload demand for industry throws a wrench into demand management. In Maine there is Hydro Quebec to look to for that new baseload demand. But the Androscoggin mil in Jay, Maine, is already home to 150MW of gas turbine generation, and the 75MW solar farm, not the brightest idea, but maybe that helps. The turbines were used for paper production. The proposed data center was planned to use 175MW regularly, and Central Maine Power has sufficient capacity to meet the demand.

This is about public opinion and such. Valid considerations.

You do know that I really didn't claim to have worked at a data center recently. But I have done some work at data centers in the past, and everything I hear about them today tells me they have changed. Surprisingly little. The thing that surprises me the most is that everyone seems to understand how they work, some because they worked at 1. I did have the rare opportunity to work in several of them for different reasons and at different times. They operate differently but the equation is pretty much the same. No, it doesn't take a lot of people to keep a large data center running. Unless you get a major client come in, or a change, or they change names or hands or whatever. Because really the big work at a data center is changes. But we're really not having a discussion about this bill in Maine that would have denied data centers entirely because that's just a reaction to the perception that they take unfair advantage of resources and infrastructure. And that's an interesting topic, but one that I don't care much about because in the end it won't matter. That data center is going to get built somewhere. And Jay, Maine is not a bad place to do it, unless you're all upset about electricity prices, which in Maine could be solved if you didn't elect Democrats.
