breaker masking

1200 incoming + 1 hairdryer at the same time equals overloaded circuit though.

It is more than just the concern around back-feeding the grid. These simple balcony setups connect to your home grid via a single outlet. Most US outlets/circuits are 15 AMP or roughly 1500 watts max capacity. These single circuits can only carry that much current total at any one time so if you have it loaded up with incoming power AND use anything else on the circuit at the same time … no bueno. To make this setup work best/safely you would ideally want a dedicated circuit for it which is basically non-existent today.

The safety issues really do need to be addressed because the folks most likely to use these systems are apartment dwellers and I don’t think anyone wants to increase fire risk in these scenarios.

Can I have 2 billion dollars to build UNIVERSE models?

If vibe-coding is wrecking Windows 11 and Office now … just wait until Windows 12 sees the light of day! Ohhh boy, will that ever be some infinite-monkeys-on-typewriters-shite!

I also like FauxPilot.

faux - adj - artificial or imitation; fake.

Not to* be confused with the OSS alternative, also named fauxpilot.

Fairphone is such an obvious partner here I guess that’s why they went with a Chinese manufacturer instead.

I am sure nothing bad will come from that decision.1, 2, 3

Seriously, though. Why?

Just read the paper. ArsTechnica is such a terrible source for analysis on anything remotely technical.

Codeberg does actively try to prevent bot scraping.

Is it easier to secure, monitor fewer, bigger reactors or thousands of* small ones? Accidents are still going to happen and I know which scenario makes more sense to me. Especially in light of Trump’s recent push to deregulate nuclear energy, kill the EPA, and pretty much any other kind of sensible management efforts of technology that is great until something goes wrong then it quickly becomes a multi-generational clusterfuck.

Solar, batteries and long-range transmission infrastructure just makes too much sense I guess.

Darwin just getting ever more creative over time.

Straight out of the NSA ANT catalog aka LOUDAUTO and others.

This is like that part in Don’t look up when the Jennifer Lawrence’s character tells her BF to wait 6 months before she meets his mother.

Because every single foreign government hacks every other foreign government every single chance they get. If I get any say in the matter I’d rather keep my list of enemies as small as possible(aka only the US government). Most rational people would agree with that. At least you have some say in accountability for the US government, in theory at least.

I feel like every time this topic comes up people forget all of this and also forget that China’s energy, automotive, literally every industry in China is controlled by PRC/CCP, 100%. Even the US/China joint ventures have to follow rules laid out by the PRC/CCP.

It seems to just be more attack surface for very little actual gain on JS. At least with JS I have NoScript, Ublock and some actual say over what loads/runs on my box. For this reason, I usually just disable all wasm/webgl/webrtc until I find out that I actually need it which for me is basically never or only for very short periods.

So if AI is running fuzzers to find bugs, credit should go to the fuzzers, not the AI.

Please stop reposting the Anthropic shit posts. This is pure advertising spam from a disreputable company.

The content produced by humans was scraped en-masse for the explicit purpose of training models which were then monetized into business products.

I struggle to reconcile that with Fair Use.

I can see if the source was EULA’d to remove all rights to what you post to things like Reddit, Stack Overflow, and if somehow those entities were contacted ahead of time and negotiated usage. You, I and the web server logs know that this was almost never the case.

So the thing with useful quantum computers is that if they ever do make it actually work and manage to scale it up, the first thing they will do is render most modern encryption obsolete over night. My guess is that Bluffdale has a mountain of encrypted data they’d start cracking immediately.

My cynicism can’t allow me to think that we’d hear about it until years after that backlog is cleared and the NSA (and now by extension Israel and Russia) have backdoored any network of interested 10 times over.

The far more likely scenario is that this like stable/cold-ish Fusion, practical graphene, CRiSPER miracle cures are still way more theory than driveable cars at this point and for next several years at least. These folks just want more money and have to keep claiming they are close to get it.

Prolific cannibal promises to review their choice in seasonings to be more tactful as they continue to feast on PC users’ privacy, freedom and last scraps of digital dignity on a global scale.

I am sure that this empty promise of change has everything to do with their user empathy and absolutely nothing to do with their recent financial results which indicated how hollow their AI-slop-bullshit revenue growth was last quarter.

Except that Microsoft basically puts a gun to every users head to login with a Microsoft account which can/does backup the recovery keys.
