The bubble was because of speculative finance assholes ripping each other off by pointing at the thin vaneer of corporate windows built on the tools that were mostly developed by the military, universities, CERN and countless nerds’ computer rooms and garages.

Technology@lemmy.world•World's first GPS-free quantum navigation trial succeeds at seaEnglish
82·2 months agoGPS is vulnerable to various attacks.
It’s unclear what the capabilities are, but there IS a Russian satellite that HAS jammed GPS for almost a whole hemisphere. It’s operated several times for a couple seconds over these past few years.
Veritassium did a great presentation on how we know this.

Technology@lemmy.world•NVIDIA reportedly buys HuggingFace for 13 billionEnglish
4·2 months agoProbably hoping to do what GitHub did. Profit of the metrics of who is downloading what, who is developing what and having everyone uploading all their stuff to them.
Microsoft didn’t buy GitHub for the storage and bandwidth bills.
NVidia isn’t buying huggingface for the storage and bandwidth bills either

I think the issue is LLMs can’t do a humans job, only be a tool for a human to use. And the tasks it’s good at weren’t large bottlenecks to begin with.

We should make a resposter account on shitter that posts all EFF mastodon posts. Append the phrase “Resposted from mastodon, please post responses here: [mastodon link]”

politics @lemmy.world•In private, Trump has plans for unspeakable violence. I know because he told me
51·7 months agoThe real Americans have been against all these atrocities all along. We’ve been quite vocal, just not getting much coverage cause we, ya know, don’t appeal to our corporate overlords
Common problem across the globe, really
Any suggestions on how to fix it? Kinda annoying that friends and neighbors see us as being like the weird racist uncles that think Jews are trying to replace us with Mexicans or some shit.
We just want to not massacre civilians and not torch the constitution
War crime laws exist for reasons and we’d like to conform to them.

11·9 months agoI gave him lots of money when he showed off Teslas all-electric sports car, pitched the model S sedan, and laid out the plan for solar roof tiles, and home battery storage.
It was a beautiful moment when I saw a billionaire putting their money against fossil fuels.
When he was struggling to get model 3 production rolling, I gave him lots more money.
Then he started shitting on trans folks and I started divesting, but still wanted Tesla to succeed.
Then he essentially bought twitter with that money I gave him to develop Tesla and reports of working conditions started coming out so I divested more… But I held hope Tesla board would kick him out and I could put that money back.
Then he got into politics and Tesla board voted to give Elon tens of billions and I left all the way.
Fucking shame.
There was a moment when Tesla was investing tens of billions into actual electrification research and developing compelling projects and making lots of money because of it.

Technology@lemmy.world•A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climateEnglish
14·9 months agoI thought the same thing.
Seems they are mainly saying they developed cooling method that doesn’t rely on a greenhouse gas for a refrigerant. Not nothing.
…and if you stretch and release something off solar/wind power greenhouse emissions will be very low indeed.
I’m curious about lifespan of these systems. I don’t know much about SMAs, but my intuition says they degrade. Am I wrong? I hope I am :)

…and he removed his shirt like manly Putin upon his trusty steed. Muscles rippling like hot borcht, he held Zalensky in his big burly man arms and whispered softly, “Nyet.”
