Any age? Sure someone can drug and rape a 5 year old. But even with 8 it’s hard to get the cash for a proper addiction. You mind sharing about what age you fucked up to calibrate my compass?

In the end, this was about self inflicted damage. Not someone abusing you.

Sure there is this one guy who changes the oled to a different one bacause his screen broke and the old one has been difficult to source. Most people won’t fix a 30$ iron. Especially since you need an iron to fix it…

It has a display and even bluetooth. The Firmware is open source. The schematics are available.

Imo open source is not that important for an iron unless you want to add a klingon translation. But the iron is pretty good, although it is often rather >50 bucks including shipping.

Idk about you, but most people likely dont have a bookmark to their favorite fetish website. And “google” (bing for those using edge) is the default way to open a website for many.

Just a note: Superconductivity is not only destroyed by temperature, but also by magnetic fields or a too high current. We might find a room temperature superconductor that is basically useless for energy transportation or high magnetic field applications.

Another problem: almost all known high-temperature superconductors are ceramics and thus very brittle and hard to work with.

What we want is a cheap, metallic, high temperature superconductor with a high maximum critical magnetic field and high critical max current density…

But of course any improvement could give big improvements in some applications. Having a nitrogen cooled MRI wound be awesome.

Was on the phone and only quickly looked up the latest version. So I only updated to 40, not rawhide.

Sure Gentoo had dependency resolution. Does Gentoo still have use flags? Because that makes dependency resolution much hardere It’s not enough to know the dependeicies, you also have to know all the use flags you dedend on. And if a maintainer adds a use flag for a feature you depend on, you have to add that dependency as well or people who disable that flag break with your package.

I’d be surprised if gentoo was considered stable, if you make heavy use of use-flags - if they still exist.

edit Maybe your “dependency resolution” is a new automatic thing that identifies dependencies including use flags automaticallt? It was automatidally done, only if the maintainers put the right stuff in their ebuilds.

phew long answer. I wouldn’t call Gentoo unstable. I was rather interested in why it’s supposedly more stable then Fedora.

I just wrote from my limited experience. I never had something break on Fedora. I just updated a system from 35 to 41. The stuff that broke was something I compiled against old dependencies. (That’s why I didn’t update so long)

My Gentoo experience is >15y old. I had numerous incompatibilities, because I used the tools the system gave me. But sure that’s on me if I cutomize my system with USE flags. And it’s probably better now.

IDK. Gentoo is considered stable, but fedora “leaning unstable”?

Anyway what is that whole un/stable supposed to mean anyway? All non-rolling distros try to be stable. What can break are third party repos and stuff you compiled yourself. With fedora that can “break” twice a year. With a rolling distro that can “break” on every updates

So grandpa had a computer problem. Turns out he installed one of the early locker trojans. He: “It’s all my own fault.” Family: “no grandpa, that were some ugly hackers”. So i removed the virus and checked the computer. Turns out it was his fault. He tried to watch “russian removed porn” and installed the virus in that process. He was like 85 and needed help washing himself. So IDK what his intentions were… The worst part: I had to keep a straight face and confirm the “hackers” therory. That secret will die with me. And now you.

They probably can. jut every hack done has the possibility of spoiling the exploit. A good exploit can cost a million $. So if hacking you is worth more then say 100k to them, you’re in trouble. Otherwise they will only target you with everyday surveilance.

I never understood why Fermi should be a paradox.

Space is mind-bogglingly big. Insanely huge. And almost everything is empty. Primitive life (bacteria, fungus,…) might evolve on every other planet, but even mammal like life is probably not that common. Maybe 1 in 10k solar systems has them?

And now my sad hypothesis: FTL drives are simply not possible.

Also, did I mention space is huge? Sending radio signals to a planet 10k ly away is very non trivial. Unless they point a huge dish exactly at us and we point a huce dish exactly to them, we won’t hear each other.

The idea that extraterrestials will watch our TV in 100k years is absurd. (Sorry Lrrrr)

Larning about how AI (LLMs) work, what output they generate and comparing that to kids growing up, I have a similar experience.

I don’t think 3 dimensions are enough to describe what happens in FEZ.

BTW: Anduril is a startup from Luckey Palmer, the guy that built the Oculus VR headset in his garage. The later sold Oculus to Meta for 2 billion $. 3 ex Palantir guys started Anduril together with him.

And IPFS is not build on 90s tech?

Also compared to TOR, IPFS has 0 censorship resiliance.

I was a bit exmited for IPFS for a moment, but th more i tried it and thought about it, the less I saw a reason to use it.

llama2 gguf with 2bit quantisation only needs ~5gb vram. 8bits need >9gb. Anything inbetween is possible. There are even 1.5bit and even 1bit options (not gguf AFAIK). Generally fewer bits means worse results though.

Death by snu snu!
