UK announces largest ever facial… ಠ_ಠ

recognition rollout as part of policing reform.

Well my country refused to join the “council of peace” and was then threatened of tarifs for that…

So I’m fine with the PDF association in this timeline.

Physically removing it is overkill. Just disconnect the SATA cable.

How can you type with those big wolf paws?

I think you can do a memtest with Windows included tool that doesn’t require to install anything. Type memory check or something in the Start menu and the system should require a restart to boot on the memtest.

But obviously setting up a dedicated thumb drive can be useful too.

By spreading I meant thar if there is an underlying manufacturing defect it would be really difficult to predict where and when it would happen on memory. And if there is already a fault detected more might come later.

But I’m glad you documented how to do these types of workaround. It might be helpful with memory prices skyrocketing…

Very cool to be able to do that even though I’m not sure it’s worth it to run a RAM module that has a known defect.

If the fault spreads there will be corruption again.

My instance of choice decided to unilaterally and without any warning whatsoever disable downvotes. Just to “try it out”.

I’m still pissed about it to this day.

I mean that google removes any kind of downvotes is one stupid thing, but that people think this makes content “better” is crazy to me.

Now I do understand that in small communities the weight of a super negative account can be quite an issue… But is removing completely any negative feedback the solution ? Really, it’s all we got ?

Also the simple fact that a lot of this community is from Reddit, IMO it’s not okay to disable a feature like that without even voting on it.

So if you think disabling negative feedback fixes an issue, you have the burden to prove or at least explain the reasoning.

I do think it didn’t make YouTube any less of a cesspool to disable downvotes on it…

Edit : Also while votes are not supposed to replace moderation, they certainly help limiting the reach of spammers. Like if the mods are asleep at least the community can bury the post in the meantime. But no, they just disabled downvotes and made a post about the change the same day. Wtf.

Anybody got the feeling some games may be negatively affected by a PiHole ?

It’d not really the reason I stopped using it but I suspected that some games didn’t like it when PiHole was up…

Anyway this post motivated me to reinstall my RasPi.

Not the spam sheep post…

LOL I immediately thought about Spotify when reading the question.

Spotify was once an ultra fast app. Now it takes 15 seconds from launching the app to starting your music.

What I find funny is that Spotify used to be super fast at the inception of the service.

I would say there is some truth to what he says :

Although it’s not like a definitive answer from the scientific community.

Is it a key difference though ?

If you exploit people that has only one choice : Taking whatever shit job they can… Barely paid enough to survive. They are not slave per se but their boss couldn’t be happier to have cheap labor that has no leverage whatsoever and would accept anything anyway. It is farming desperation.

To some extent I think some big business are borderline slave owners even though you could say all their slaves could leave their job and die from hunger if they wish to do so. They could voluntarily choose death over basically being owned by another human but surprisingly enough most dont do that.

I recommend this great video from Scott Manley on the NTSB report :

He also has a previous video that is more speculative before the report but very interesting anyway.

I understand AI is really unpopular over here but for that I think it can be a good training partner.

Give it the name of the business the job description and let it work a preparation plan.

Also a reminder that sometimes we all fail interviews and that’s the nature of this exercise. And sometimes interviewer will purposefully put you in an impossible scenario just to see how you behave under stress. So remaining calm and humbly saying what you dont know or understand can be a good thing to do. I did get a job for an interview I felt I had completely failed.

Anyway don’t give up and good luck for your next interviews !

I wouldn’t worry about it, it’s in their interest to inform their clients and I wouldn’t think they would blame a consumer for tariffs they have no control over.

It’s possible they might not know but it’s worth asking.

Good luck !

I would suggest asking the seller using their contact form, if any is available.

Feel free to pm me if you need help locating their contact form on their website (I’m french).

I live in a country that produces 70+% of its energy through nuclear reactors.

Sure we are definitely an exception but turning off datacenters where I live wouldn’t change anything about coal.

To be clear I’m not advocating for nuclear energy nor am I saying it’s a bad option.

Every country has a different energy mix, some more “carbon efficient” than others let’s say but it is not only revolving about coal and renewables.

Anyway, I think it’s fairly clear to me the datacenters won’t shutdown anytime soon even without AI it’s gonna be a major consumption of energy in any country. So I think nuclear should definitely at least considered as an option and to some extent be part of any energy mix. I think everyone knows that only renewables is not really a realistic scenario. Coal obviously is the worst option in any amount. So yeah, I was surprised that you didn’t mention it that’s it. I do think it’s very much relevant to the topic of the ever increasing energy consumption we are all gonna face in the future. This post would probably not even exist if we shutdown datacenters but I suppose you meant it as shutting down only processing power toward AI. But still we will need more datacenters in the future no matter what.

Crumblius leguminus

I’m just pointing out the fact that you mention nuclear energy and then discarded it in your follow up.
