fair, it is amazing how unwilling to repair shit people have become. It is like the 80s/90s computer junk cycle has spread into all other products.

I just don’t get why people buy a stationary bike for more money than a real bike and a cycle charger setup with a raspberry PI

Well AI is the exploration of how to reason about how reasoning occurs. Which is why early on there was massive progress in areas such as constraint solvers and recursive problem solving (like SHRDLU) but once we started to try to do things that we don’t know how we do (like look at a picture of a bird and know it is a bird) things basically slowed nearly to a stop until computing grew to the level brute force solutions could be tested.

Nuclear waste is 96-94% pure fuel.

We need nuclear recycling NOT nuclear waste storage.

If a mining company found a 94% pure ore in the ground, would they celebrate their luck or complain that it isn’t 100% pure and thus could be sold without processing…

1. Well, they share many reasons (but not all). So they are largely compatible and should help each other.

2. Statist wouldn’t be accurate but a couple of their reasons do overlap with statists regarding bad actors.

3. Can’t answer that as I am a Library Socialist.

If nuclear energy used the same accounting practices as coal, oil or natural gas energy plants; they would have to pay their customers to hit zero profit.

The problem is money, if they had stable funding they could go the library route of training and equipping people with the tools and skills without limits.

But the models they work in don’t have that and they are just struggling to survive and do what good they can in the now.

no.

Hydro/aeroponics with greenhouses is the way forward

and until climate change is reversed, the green houses are only going to get more essential.

it would be better if one could git clone the wiki

So you feel China is betting on Silicon and that the actual future is Gallium arsenide ?

Because it has a direct band gap and at 1/50 of the thickness would be cheaper and more efficient than silicon?

Tell us more about your field of solar research and what bit around it you think we might need to know about.

My general Digitizing VHS tapes advise is:

Watch:

Look into:

and only if you have a shitload of personal VHS tapes should you get a TV tuner card and try to convert.

let me know if they actually end up having full capacity, because slow drives I can deal with. That price per TB is close enough to spinning metal to finally tip the scale for me towards SSDs

ssh -X ${hostname} works better than both even on ancient hardware (pre 1990)

If you are going to self-host please embrace a shell (bash, powershell, fish, zsh, etc) any shell; then you’ll be fast and productive even at 300 Baud.

a liter of Urine in the fuel tank would disable them, so make sure plenty of restrooms are available.

A $5 magnet and $30 of electrical equipment could cause the electrical systems to permanently burn out as the induced voltage might go too high. so you may wish to ensure electrical diagnostic equipment is properly grounded and not connected to electrical mains.

Also be careful with unidirectional speakers, they can shatter windows and cause extreme disorientation in the drivers even if the children in the vehicle can’t hear it…

We appreciate the slrpnk admins <3 them all.

Down time is fine, I support the goals

You are never alone, we carry those that care about us in our hearts.

You are loved and accepted for who you are.

And yes, it can be hard to be yourself some days.

But you are brave and strong enough to admit to yourself who you truly are; that means you can achieve any dream in your heart in time.

Focus not on external validation for a bit and think of all the new wonderful experiences that you can have being your self.

Life never happens on anyone’s schedule, you just have to give yourself time to feel, live and be present.

Also get a copy of your cat’s vaccination history (and make sure none are missing) if you want to take them to Sweden with you.

Well, it lacks a proper bootstrap and its documentation is basically empty trash.

hell live bootstrap has those and did it without requiring a file system or a kernel to get there https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap

It is hard because you are trying to be everything.

And it is ok to say, I just need a minute to sit down and breathe.

remember back to when you were little and stressed out.

I would hold you and put on this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcvXr-9XtgA

come on, sing it with me.

and when you are calm, we can sit down and open up excel and make sure your budget leaves plenty for sanity, fun and problems happening in life.

Warzone 2100 (you can download for free as it is an old PC game that went GPL)

gets more on the nose by the day
