Re: What a dick head

He's not the only one, there's a pile of them in the US making the news all the time, in fact it wouldn't surprise me if this is where the desease started :)

Japan looks to nuclear energy to power AI-powered datacenter boom

fault planes and nuclear power

with about 4 fault planes in and around Japan and the events of Fukashima (although it could've been alot worse) I'm not sure this is a good idea. Although the amount of power they need I'm not sure solar/wind/wave will meet it so there's not much alternative I guess.

Re: Who remembers the bad old days

my first home computer, 16k BBC micro , eventually added a 16k sideways RAM board for a whopping total which for 1985 wasn't bad.

Google Gemini tells grad student to 'please die' while helping with his homework

AI Farm

Similarly to the animal farm book, AI is coming to take over humans, if the ML models are working , then in theory they should self learn and become like human brains. Gemini is more advanced than the others ?

Undergrad thought he had mastered Unix in weeks. Then he discovered rm -rf

recursive chown

I gave access to a trusted developer once and he accidentally did a recursive chown -R from top level. He forgot he was sudo'ed to root and owned everything from / instead. I tried but this again was as bad as a rm -rf /, and would take too log to fix, although most thing are owned by root:root, there are some nobody,tty etc there as well (solaris days). Rebuild required. this was prior to zfs , if that had been around, you could easily rollback to a snapshot in single user mode

Re: "great" Americans like Elon Musk

or I think judgements in the US are biased towards Americans who are mostly , high net worth coporates. Outside of the US, guilty or not it would be more fairer system.

Look at ridiclous supreme court ruling on Trump, how he has managed to avoid prison and ordinary people with lesser crimes do, is just unreal. If Trump can get away with it then Musky can as well, and has so far.

They did well, they got the OS down to 8GB of cached junk!

Severe solar storm could disrupt power, communications

Re: watch your ECC memory

I think you're right, I was confused since it was so long ago, it was eCache on the CPU which was usually L1,L2 and L3 caches which was impacted. I think , also based on your note, the ECC comes in and corrects it

watch your ECC memory

going back a bit in time when Sun SPARC chips were around we would often find ECC memory correction errors in the logs, opening a case with Sun would yield the result that cosmic ray radiation from solar flares causing the issue. Working mostly in financials, this could, potentially, cause big problems. I'm guessing ECC is better proctected these days and less of an issue.

Elon Musk's X mashed by Australian court for evading child protection reporting

regulation!

Taking this service on is going to prove a total headache for him eventually, if not already. The amount of regulation current and being added to socail media is increasing and rightly so in my opinion but someone has the take the stick for anything that goes wrong and it's either the country regulator for the service or the one at the top or even both.

Every country has their own rules , some are similar but complying with them all and as they add more is hard work. But he doesn't really give a sh*t about regulators like the gobsh*te he is.

Infosys scores deal to write code for EV-maker Polestar

a few years ago I was driving my wife's lexus and coming off a slip road it braked really hard, my wife screamed at me saying "what are you doing", I said wasn't me, was your car which had pre-sense braking turned on. There was no traffic for over 100m. I has similar experiences with pre-sense on my audi as well, if I swing the car into the left to avoid an island in the middle, and there is a car parked on the left, the pre-sense slams the brake on, only if it thinks the velocity and distance I'm going to hit the car, but I know it's not. The algorithm they used here doesn't match what a human can do within the time period.

Re: AI vetting

not featuring on the front cover of time magazine might have something to do with it ?

How come his post by-passed the AI hate speech filters ? filter name musk, skip checks and just publish

If posts like these (not the first) ,can make him a triliionaire , then what am I doing wrong ?

US spends CHIPS Act cash to explore Indian chipmaking collabs

another world order

In my view any form of chip making facility should not go abroad, these components are fundamental to governments and companies. It also means locally made chips would be less scrutinised in terms of compliance and security.

Also all this outsourcing has made some countries very rich and able to throw their weight into any policitcal issue going, starting from humble beginnings to becoming a world order. Do we really need another one ? Keep it in house doesn't matter if it costs a bit more, long term does less damage
