Anyone who does that will find themselves quickly out of business and bankrupt from lawsuits.

The headline is a fantasy, it’s a tool that augments professionals in some situations. It doesn’t replace them.

Let them eat cake

Letting your users get hacked just to own the AIs is certainly a strategy.

Nice! I’m glad you were able to figure it out :)

Systemd is the worst init system except for all of the others.

Think of all of the job it would create, creating tax revenue in the tens of dollars.

I understand the process, I simply have not seen a single fork that has any kind of traction or support outside of the individual running the repository.

The people who are making a big deal out of this are not the same people who have both the technical capability and willingness to take on a project as big as systemd.

At best someone will create a script that deletes the lines from userdb and a user can run that and then compile and install systemd themselves.

This is not the kind of technical disagreement that leads to actual forks. This is a flash point of outrage that will disappear as these people move on to new topics.

Any one serious about fighting Age verification laws are politically aware enough to understand that it is laws and politicians that need to be changed and not optional JSON fields.

Popular is supposed to be the highest activity subreddits. If you keep scrolling you’ll only see older posts from the same set of subreddits. r/all is all the subreddits sorted by popularity, if you keep scrolling you see lower and lower upvote counts.

Your home feed is your subscribed subreddits.

I live in a tiny old, tumbled down house with great holes in’ err roof.

I guess I should have said ‘and not on any device required for the mission’. The PCDs are personal devices for the individual’s business and convenience.

They are for things like e-mailing, looking at mission manuals and accessing the Internet. They’re not involved in the operation of the Integrity. All of the mission-critical systems that operate the ship are purpose-built.

But NASA doesn’t need to re-invent the wheel when it comes to e-mail and PDF reading, so they buy commercial hardware because it’s way cheaper, it works well enough and if it fails it doesn’t compromise the mission.

The tablets are a convenience, not a requirement and so being commercial off the shelf means it’s cheaper and it works well enough than what purpose-built hardware and software.

If every tablet died, the mission would proceed without pause. Except the astronauts would be checking gauges instead of looking at a system monitor on their tablet and not sending as many e-mails.

What you really want to do is to use a custom mechanical keyboard with QMK firmware so you can spend $500 to remove the capslock key from your key layout.

It will also save you room in your .bashrc file (SSDs are not cheap, ya know).

It is certainly overhyped for the purposes of continuing this stock market bubble and so many of the claims about capabilities are nonsense. We’re not going to have AGI, it’s not going to mass replace knowledge workers, it won’t replace software engineers. It has knowledge but lacks intelligence.

But it’s also nonsense when people pretend that it isn’t useful at all and every usecase is ______slop.

It can be useful as long as you think of it like a search engine that answers your questions (with a degree of inaccuracy) and not use it as a tool to do the work for you. Asking questions and exploring new software helps you build a useful set of knowledge. Telling the AI to give you the exact list of commands you need to run will only harm your learning process.

It sounds like you’re using it as a tutor, if you’re using a system that does web search and summarization (and it has access to the primary documentation) it can achieve a pretty high accuracy. Just be aware that it will tell you things that are wrong and give you bad commands sometimes.

To mitigate this (and it’s also a good practice in general) make sure it isn’t the only source of information and also RTFM.

It is incredibly cool.

In Earth orbit, there would be little latency. Starlink operates at ~500km and latency on that network is around 50ms. ‘Traditional’ internet satellites are in geosync orbit which is around 35,000 km, their latency is in the 250ms range.

At TLI (Translunar Injection) burn they were at 185km. They would have been a bit higher when the problem happened but their apogee was 2,600km, so they were somewhere in the 50-100ms range

They use the TDRS for data, it has a capacity of around 800Mbps but that is shared with the ISS.

So, their Internet connection is probably better than people using cellular data or Starlink. At the moon it’ll be in the 2500ms range.

They’re testing an optical system that would allow for much higher bandwidth, in the 100s of Gbps. The hardware that they’re carrying will only do about 250Mbps but there are optical tricks they can do to increase that significantly once they confirm the base system works.

I will say this about Kojima’s naming… I never forget their names.

Just report them, Rule 3, the moderator team here is incredibly fast to respond.

In this economy?
