Comment Re:Part of this decline is all MBA-driven (Score 4, Informative) 143

Computers are very reliable at reporting memory usage. The problem is memory usage is more than a single number, it is complex. Do you want memory allocated or memory used? Do you want to include memory shared with other processes (which should only be counted once system wide) or not? Do you want to include memory swapped to disk or not?

Comment Re:Color me skeptical, (Score 4, Insightful) 134

They haven’t completed an orbit because they want to be definitely certain they can deorbit it reliably as it is not demisable. They have absolutely demonstrated that it has the ability to reach orbit and survive reentry consistently.

All those goals are reasonable when you consider the assembly lines they are building and their success with recovering the first and second stages. Consider the launch rate of Falcon 9 and then consider the fact that they are building twice as many launchpads while designing the boosters to be immediately reflown.

The only real question is whether they will have the same initial teething problems with their third generation of the rocket that they did with the first two, but I doubt they will.

Comment Re:Sued into oblivion. (Score 2) 32

It is impractical to sue all the users, so regardless of who should be responsible, they will try to sue the people running the AI. However, it will soon become impractical to sue all the people running AIs as well, if it's not already. Pandora's box is opened, the genie is out of the bottle, the horse has left the barn, etc.

Comment Re:I'm not convinced this SIM farm was special (Score 1) 47

I was watching a video that pointed out the devices these SIM cards were in could only use a small number of the cards simultaneously. And even if you ignore this, 100,000 sim cards is a small fraction of the total number of legitimate devices in NYC, so simultaneous usage would not have had much effect. So they are probably just used for mass-spamming and similar campaigns.

Comment Re:Windows 11 really is that bad (Score 1) 54

It’s been very problematic for my customers. I have an original threadripper in my CAD machine, and with Microsoft dropping windows 10 support, I’m going to have to replace it to upgrade to windows 11 in the near future. I’ve been seriously considering switching entirely to Mac instead.
