Re:Could Orbital Data Centers Ruin the Night Sky? on Monday November 02, 2026 @03:49PM (#50343506)
Why do people buy the scam of orbital datacenters? The amount of solar panels to power a single rack worth of GPUs, not top mention the much larger mass of radiators you need to cool it make it completely infeasible to launch. Still, we have grifters like Musk saying, "Space is cold," as if that solves the problem. Space is terrible at cooling hot things without a lot of radiation surface area.
Isn't that a part of apathy?

Ad algorithms are horrible everywhere. Why are you not blocking them?
I'll have to try to do a session with Claude where he converses as Dathon.
Yes, I guess that's what I should have known to say. Come gimme a hug, Temba.
If you've watched it more than a dozen times and don't know Darmok, I don't know what to say.
Musk may be worse, but at least he makes cars and sells Ubereats for space. Zuck produces nothing of value.

If Waymo hasn't done enough miles for this to happen then it is a statistically insignificant event. They're on pace to do 20 million trips this year alone.

And they will have a remote lockout installed on which the buyer will agree to.

America sucks at manufacturing anything that involves paying a wage because countries like China can undercut them. Even if we could the Chinese govt would fund the undercutting like they are with BYD.

Don't forget to start each password with an x but don't write that on the paper.
You should put anything like this on a privacy.com card with a monthly limit.

What is new about that feature? Couldn't you add arbitrary IDs before?

Reminds me of the similar one about Harvard with a hedge fund and a little school.

Maybe it's supposed to be less readable by AI but I really think it just makes it a little harder for humans to scrape it.
That is precisely what they are

Have you been trashing the non-replaceabe SSD with constant AI workloads? Do you have any idea how much electricity it uses over it those 4 years?
Re:Why Wall Street Is Ignoring Big Tech's Debt on Sunday August 09, 2026 @12:50PM (#49233109)
But it won't last for life. It will probably last about 4 years so that equates to about 100/mo.

In the startup world they're only really looking to bat better than 10 pct overall to mark success, right? Do we wonder why it's all just a crap shoot?

Re:Organic Maps on Sunday July 05, 2026 @11:50AM (#48795189)
My problem is that more often than not the road or business name I'm trying to find us just not in the database. If I'm at home I'll try to add it but if I'm driving that is not going to happen and I'll just use something else.
