Hopefully they do some work to validate that the model predictions are actually correct. It has real potential for improving how aid is targeted since such a higher resolution can be used to look at poverty and where it is best to address. Its a lot quicker than a census too since its using satellite data.

My ISP provides a /48 for IPv6 via prefix delegation so all internal machines that support it have a ULA and DHCPv6. I have disabled SLAAC . In docker I assign a /64 of that prefix to docker containers. The local addresses is what most of the internal network stuff is based on (DNS etc) rather than the globally accessible address. The PD addresses are only about going onto the internet.

SLAAC actually is just fine, I just didn’t really want to be exposing the manufacturer information of the addresses online so preferred DHCP, but either or both together works from OpenWRT prefix delegation.

I have never killed an SSD with wear. I have had their controllers die long before they should (OCZ drives!) but even my original 80GB Intel Gen 1 SSD is still kicking along working happily with about 70% of its wear remaining. All my modern era gen 3 and above drives are still working and nothing below 93%. Its enormously difficult to get SSDs worn out on a desktop or home server.

If we avoid a bigger outbreak of this it will be luck not because we actually did this right. I am not convinced we should have been taking these exposed people and spreading across the globe and certainly not with very different procedures, only some countries are actually quarantining those who have been exposed. It could still be in the community from one of the people exposed on the plane. Given how slowly this virus progresses it could smoulder for quite a while before we have an epidemic that we recognise.

I really wish the WHO would get over its aversion to saying viral spread is airborne, they still haven’t admitted Covid is airborne despite the scientists proving it is and they have called Hantavirus “close contact”, which isn’t actually a transmission mechanism its either droplet or aerosol and given the exposures where its spread its airborne.

We aren’t handling the current pandemics in the world very well at all so its no surprise there is poor preparation for the next one. But having heard the WHO once again with its transmission mechanism as “close contact” rather than the actual known transmission vector of airborne it isn’t a wonder agreements aren’t being made. Every party involved is twisting reality and wants to be able to keep doing that into the future and the drug companies want to make sure they can maximise their profits when they do develop something.

If someone chooses to do that then yes its a better option, but 4GB of LLM shouldn’t just be shipped in a browser.

Indy and small budget games are where all the innovation in game mechanics is occuring. The AA/AAA industry has become a conveyor belt of ever more expensive graphics on the “omni game” mechanics.

Was kind of obvious from the moment it went past the first 2 people. Despite this they still aren’t wearing N95/FFP3 masks which would actually stop the spread of it, they are being told to wash their hands. Its madness that the airborne nature of viruses is ignored by the authorities the science on this has been crystal clear for decades, viruses are airborne in tiny little water particles.

This AI bubble is going to take so much of the economy with it and I can’t help but think we are all going to be paying to keep “too big to fail” businesses that clearly knew it was a bubble but invested anyway because the public would pay if it went side ways.

Even weirder in my experience is doctors trying to pull you off medication you need for no reason at all. They seem to do these reviews and then suggest diabetics come off their insulin and I can not work out what the heck they think they are doing, its getting people hurt or killed if they don’t stand up to them.

And they pick and choose which laws they choose to follow themselves just as frequently.

apt dist-upgrade is a necessary change to your process in place of just upgrade.

Google, Youtube and Facebook all forced real usernames for a time and it made no difference to the quality of conversation or how toxic it was. Indeed many people on Twitter/X use their real names and say some truly awful things.

Its not about anonymity, the real answer to getting less toxicity is good moderators that care about the subject matter. Its why Reddit is a mixed bag depending on the sub you are in, all depends on the moderators. If you want to fix social medias toxic name calling and everything else you should be forcing Facebook et el to have enough moderators to actually do the job well with interest in the various sub topics.

Definitely worth waiting a few weeks and letting the post release patches roll through. I tend to start looking at it for my server upgrade about a month after its officially released, anything earlier is usually under heavy updates. IIRC do-release-upgrade on the server releases typically doesn’t even allow upgrades for at least a month.

Or hosting your own services. 25 gbit/s is a lot of potential to scale up to a pretty decent sized web business before you need to get dedicated hosting.

I wish this was just in the USA but numerous countries in the EU handed out billions upon billions to private companies to roll out VDSL and then fibre connections (GPON) and the public owns none of what has been made despite paying for it all and the bonuses on top. Now the higher speeds are grossly more expensive than the old DSL lines used to be and they are turning those all off and getting to pocket the increased prices.

The problem is the views that got Trump elected will still be there in the country for the foreseeable future. So ultimately the USA is not a reliable member of NATO at any point since Trump was first elected. The USA is no longer a member they just haven’t changed the treaties yet. That won’t be going back at any point in the lifetime of anyone who lived through the Trump era.

This is how these proxy wars have happened for many decades now. The USA and Russia never have a direct conflict, once is doing the invading while the other is aiding the attacked nation.

Item 3 is even shovelling more AI into more places. About the only thing that is real in that list is the taskbar being able to be moved, and this was something they have promised would happen since they rewrote the taskbar and crippled its functionality.

I keep trying to use the various LLMs that people recommend for coding for various tasks and it doesn’t just get things wrong. I have been doing quite a bit of embedded work recently and some of the designs it comes up with would cause electrical fires, its that bad. Where the earlier versions would be like “oh yes that is wrong let me correct it…” then often get it wrong again the new ones will confidently tell you that you are wrong. When you tell them it set on fire they just don’t change.

I don’t get it I feel like all these people claiming success with them are just not very discerning about the quality of the code it produces or worse just don’t know any better.
