Oder, man könnte sich auch einfach aufhören Fossilenergie zu nutzen und endlich mal in der Zukunft ankommen.

Liebe Tagesschau: Es wäre EURE Aufgabe, als Teil der 5. Gewalt im Staat diesen absoluten Blödsinn den die Gaskathi permanent von sich gibt zu korrigieren und einzuordnen.

Die Frau ist von vorne bis hinten, unten wie oben untragbar für das Land.

@cwebber

And once again the Zig language project shows, that there's a better way: https://ziglang.org/code-of-conduct/#strict-no-llm-no-ai-policy

@aparrish For some time now I've been calling out interactive LLM systems as almost perfect cult indoctrination systems.
The day I realized, what these things are I vowed to myself to never engage with LLMs whatsoever.

@hellomiakoda

I can relate: In 2010 I got the old storage system from my alma mater university physics department student computer pool for free. One 4U disk shelf unit and two 2U servers with multipath SCSI controllers.

I scraped it 6 years later, because boy was this thing loud and heavy and power hungry.

@hellomiakoda

Indeed.

If I could buy movies and download them as I do on Bandcamp I'd have to invest in so much storage.

On that note, I recently came across the whole collection of the old planet of the apes movies on 4k Blu-ray for 2 bucks. Instant buy.

@ryanc @mcfly

You don't have to infiltrate them. They're incompetent enough, that they're introducing the vulnerabilities themselves. Xorg eventually just decided to totally revert all the changes pushed by metux, due to breaking a lot of things – which now will linger in Xlibre until someone competent fixes it (i.e. never).

Some of those changes are pretty revealing, like showing an utter lack of understanding of basic C bit manipulation operators. Which in a graphics system is troublesome.

@mcfly

TL;DR: a whole bunch of reactionary tech bros who see that a lot of high-profile new-era FOSS projects that don't align with their own tastes (systemd, Wayland, etc.) also have – by a simple matter of statistics – non-cis, non-allistic developers among their ranks and perceive this as attack on "their" technology.

@chrisgj198 @whitequark @jonny

Try find a datasheet for the LM97600.

It's a really weird, no longer manufactured 5GS/s ADC producing 7.6 bits/sample. Actually it's an 8 bit design, but it will drop the LSB every so often to not fall under ITAR at the time.

Back in 2014 I actually got TI to send me 3 samples of it for free. Still haven't put them in a circuit due to lack of well matched FPGAs that don't break the back.

@whitequark @jonny ha, one of the reasons is even more stupid: ITAR!

We recently purchased a 12 GSample/s AWG for our lab. One of the HW options is a digital interface (parallel data + strobe) to trigger the playback of the selected segment with ~10 ps trigger accuracy. It costs extra. Why?

Because you could use this to make an adaptive radar. And making it an option allows for ITAR tracing.

@whitequark

receptive of virtual hugs?

@whitequark Back when I developed my "driver" (actually it's just an HID event filter) for the 3Dconnexion Space Navigator devices it led me to implementing a LISP interpreter to be embedded into the Linux kernel to perform filtering there, since I felt that the ever growing list of quirks was unsustainable (I'd rather load a short filter from a udev rule).

This was well before eBPF was a thing. Today you actually can do it with eBPF!

@thephd

*cough*

I'm just saying: "X11 Resource Database"
IYKYK…

@whitequark

But that Portage alternative isnt called "Paludis" right?

@gsuberland yes. And not just edu.
People see a BNC and do jackshit bonkers things to it.
I've learnt to float those suckers, isolate them to 10 kV, give them 50 ohms AC termination, clamp them with 100W RMS capable TVS diodes and use min/max holds to determine edge transition levels, since apparently electrical engineers are incapable of reading: 3.3V LVPECL logic, 50 Ohm, 20V * 100us max, chassis & OC PE ground referenced.

@GreenSkyOverMe @thegcat @mamsell Plastik bekommt sehr schnell eine Mikrostruktur in der sich Zeug festsetzen kann. Eigentlich ist Plastik alles andere als hygienisch.

@ArneBab

Yes! Preach it brother!

(I take it, that you know the stance I took on these issues for over 1½ decades now).

@slothrop @fsfe

Zur Integration von Produkten Dritter würde ich mal die gleichen Regeln anwenden wie bei Medizinprodukten:

Wenn's vom Hersteller keine expliziten Garantien gibt, gilt es als SOUP (Software of Unknown Provenance): Der Hersteller des Endprodukts ist dafür verantwortlich die Tauglichkeit zu prüfen und haftet dann auch vollumfänglich.

@slothrop @fsfe

In der neuen Richtlinie sind FOSS-Projekte die nicht mit kommerzieller Absicht entwickelt werden ausgenommen um Einzelpersonen die aus Leidenschaft an einem Projekt basteln, das dann "überall" drin steckt zu schützen.

Wie das bei Projekten wie z.B. Blender aussieht, dahinter steht ja eine non-Profit Stiftung will ich aber auch wissen.

@julie @hacks4pancakes even if it was... Fun fact: usually savings rates go up in times of uncertainty, and down in times of prosperity.
