This specific tech is, yes, nvidia dependent. The game changer is that a team was able to beat the big players with less than 10 million dollars. They did it by operating at a low level of nvidia’s stack, practically machine code. What this team has done, another could do. Building for AMD GPU ISA would be tough but not impossible.

Some assholes gave congresscritters a bunch of money to get their businesses a cozy monopoly and special treatment. They were seeing AI as a profit center they could corner the market on thanks to govt-industry collusion. Looks like ginormous data centers and export controlled GPU cards may not be as essential to AI research as thought, and now the emergency is their stock is tanking.

Ok that’s pretty close! The reddit thing was about streaming your camera, and having a chat window where you could read comments from viewers.

The other key element was having a place where viewers could see what was currently streaming. That allows people to casually go see “what’s on” without needing to coordinate with livestreamers to set up a time to watch, keep track of streamer channels, etc.

I really liked the livestream feature that was on reddit a few years ago. Would be cool to have a fediverse version of that, where people could casually stream from their phones with just a peertube app.

God I hate these short format video things. Trashy content designed to be addictive.

you mean they got the date wrong on a release? that’s not a security issue

Packages in nix are in the store directory, each package in a dir named after the package hash. So you can have 15 versions of firefox installed, for instance, and the different versions go in different folders with different hashnames.

When it’s time to set up a user env, their specific version of firefox is (conceptually) symlinked into the users profile. When that user executes firefox it gets one out of the 15 versions. Another user may get a different one.

Anyway, the package store is off limits to users, and a real bad idea to modify for root too.

is nixos considered immutable or mutable? kind of has characteristics of both.

Its talking about spiderman’s secret identity

Probably had a big fight with Jefferson Davis

the one where the democrats are the ‘party of slavery’ because of what the parties stood for in 1860. yeah that’s why I’m voting for Lincoln and the union this year dumbfucks

why do I want to carry a printer with me? no. this sounds more like a point-of-sale device.

A blockchain that uses proof-of-work would waste far more energy than it would save, just on doing the accounting. What blockchain do you propose using that would have a minimal transaction cost, in watts and in coin?

If we’re talking about local charging of EVs, I guess that would be a little like putting a gas pump in my front yard for my neighbors to use. Probably going to hit zoning issues if you open that up to general commercial use.

How does a ‘solar energy blockchain’ know where the electricity used to run it comes from? There’s no difference between 120v ac coming from a generator or coming from the grid, or coming from a solar array.

I used to keep a text file in each project, with todo items at the top and a ‘done’ section at the bottom. File gets too big, start a new file.

Now I use a note taking program that stores markdown notes with links in between them. Kind of the same idea, mostly, some notes are to-do items and others are lists. I have about 10000 notes in there.

Another one from that same set, a banger.

I transcribed them and ran it through google

the corrido of luigi

one day December 4th
it is said the businessman
had a pending meeting
only high-ranking people
because of 3 accurate bullets
his life was taken away
people are not moved
by the rich man who was murdered
he denies, deposes and defends
keys of the murder and although he died suddenly
the meeting was not cancelled
do not believe that with the millions you have bought your life
that is what he dedicated himself to and how could he secure it
what turns life gives us
that is how karma takes it
6 days after his death
they found the Italian
a young intelligent graduate from Pennsylvania told them:
I do not bring people
I want to speak with my lawyer
there was no more evidence
they already wanted extradition they had his printed gun
the bills were fake while they were looking for his fingerprints
Monolopy was playing
do not insult the intelligence of that American town
his mother asked clemency as many
denied it, his patience ran out
Luigi came to adjust them

here’s the text from the video.

el corrido de Luigi  

un dia 4 de diciembre  
se dice el empresario  
tenia una junta penditente  
pura gente de alto rango  
caunado 3 balas certeras  
la vida le arrebataron  
ne se conmueve la gente  
por el rico asesinado  
niega depone y defiende   
claves del asesinato y aunque murio de repente   
la junta no canceleron  
no creas que por los millones tienes la vida comprada  
el a eso se dedicaba y do pudo asegurarla  
que vueltas nos da la vida  
asi se las cobra el karma  

6 dias despues de su muerte  
dieron con el italiano  
un joven iteligente de Pennsylvania graduado les dijo:  
no traigo gente  
quiero hablar con mi abogado  
faltaba mas evidencia  
ya querian extraditario tenian su pistola impresa  
los billetes eran falsos mientras buscaban sus huellas  
Monolopy iba jugando  
no insulten la inteligencia de ese pueblo americano  
su madre pidio clemencia como a muchos  
la negaron se le acabo la paciencia  
luigi los vino ajustando  

I occasionally use curl myself but never really thought about what language(s) it used in its implementation. Curious if there are power curl users to whom its internal implementation details would really matter. For me its mainly just testing my own websites and vulns there are unlikely. If I was using curl to scrape a lot of sketchy sites I might care about its memory security more.
