Yup. It’s a scary time. You take some LinkedIn data, some Walmart shopping habits, a Spotify user catalog, a Google timeline, combined with Flock footage - mix it all together with “AI” - and suddenly you’ve got an extremely detailed profile of any individual you want. And we’re only in the early stages. That is, spying, prediction, eavesdropping… The only logical conclusion to the surveillance apparatus is an evolution towards an apparatus for control. And it will be the most sinister, subtle, and undetectable type of coercion imaginable.

I just want to grill for gods sake.

Lmao I just watched the trailer for Monkey Shines. Rest in peace George, you legend.

Wat… The lone seeder is elevated to mythical status in torrent culture. People take great lengths to preserve old content - whether that’s by seedboxing, ripping physical content, or even the more backend stuff like trackers who have entire systems devoted to “reseed requests”.

If pointless noise on forums is one of the biggest downsides of LLMs, isn’t your whole spamming thorn game self defeating?

No reason you can’t use LLMs to write deterministic scripts. Handing off every task to an agent is a crapshoot, but they do help with some tasks. At the minimum - writing regression tests.

The good part was the freedom

Except for the slaves, which as you know, are explicitly allowed in the constitution.

The rosewill 4u cases are cheap and fit eatx. I put some noctuas in mine, and it works great.

Somewhat unrelated, but window awnings are an often overlooked solution for your exact problem. They’re not quite as quick and dirty as some reflectix or aluminum foil, though.

1-Million-Mile (1.8-million-kilometer) batteries

After 2 million kilometers (1.25 million miles), CATL’s EV batteries retained about 400 km (250 mi) of range. Competitor cells, on the other hand, retained considerably less, at around 350 km (218 mi) and less.

The data is based on 12 electric vehicles, 100 sample batteries, and real-world applications across four major cities in China. You can see in the chart from Morgan Stanley Research that Models 11 and 12, which use CATL batteries, exhibit considerably slower degradation than the other suppliers.

What leads you to believe that CATL has been unsuccessful at achieving a 1 million mile battery?

but i appear to have been banned on .ml

Uhhh, yeah you were making threats on people’s lives lol

I highly suspect that you will have a long leash here, and will be allowed to say just about whatever you want.

Bruh, you yourself just had your leash yanked on .world

What are you even talking about? Rimu is an authoritarian is the point.

Piefed literally has social credit score lol. The dude in charge is a nanny who thinks the users aren’t wise enough to do their own blocking. There’s been a shit ton of drama surrounding that dork in recent weeks, and all he’s done is dig in.

“If it only exists on your laptop, it doesn’t exist”

People often forget that ICE vehicles suffer from range reduction from the cold as well: ICE vehicles are up to 20% less efficient in the cold.

These people leveled your yard, and now it pools with water? Is that accurate? If so, those hardscapers fucked up bad. They shouldn’t have been aiming for level; they should have been grading it away from your house at 2%. How old is the home? I have pretty good experience with french drains, grading, and water intrusion investigation. DM me and we can have a phone call to go over options.

Be aware: someone in your position is seen as a cash cow for basement dewatering systems and foundation repair. Dont trust any of these people if they haven’t spent an hour looking at your house during a big rain. Only you have the capacity to get to root cause.

Anyone remember that short film from 2017 Slaughterbots?

So are SIM cards.

Hey, you basically defined my system.

Truenas scale machine running 4x 16TB drives. I use a cheap rosewill 4u server rack case. It has hot swap drive bays in front. Big plus.

The brain is an amd 5950x running on an asrock x570 steel legend w/ 128GB of the cheapest crucial DDR4 ECC I could find. Also running an rtx 2080 for jellyfin transcoding.

My consumer mobo is the bottleneck. Given how my end goal is to have a 10gb nic and an LSI card for more sata ports, I’m going to have to get creative with m.2 ports. I might plug a 10gb nic into an m.2 port.

PSU was a 1kW fractal platinum rated. Way overkill, but the high efficiency is key.

You’ll notice my build uses a lot of gaming parts - i simply harvested my old parts when I upgraded my gaming PC. Despite this, it still idles under 200 watts. My point is not that you should seek out gaming parts, but if you happen to have any on hand, they could be effectively leveraged given price increases on new parts.

The biggest thing is: Use ECC. This is non negotiable for your setup. ECC saved me a couple weeks ago when my 5950x shot craps, randomly. So far no issues after increasing to a set voltage. ZFS and ECC go together like peas in a pod.
